So Why doesn't MIB know who Desmond is?
Afterall, Desmond was there for years and I'm sure he went out of the barracks plenty of times. How could MIB never know who he is, etc.? MIB saw the electromagnetic explosion that caused the plane to crash, so he'd know where it came from probably. This part doesn't make sense to me.
Flocke/MIB is trying to change his original time line to be...
That the middle school-age boy does not die. Maybe that youngin's death caused the problem he's having, so he needs him to live???
Total Minor detail, but I found kinda funny. Was Desmond flirting with Claire at the airport???
I think he was.
MIB will be stopped by the Island sinking, rather than EM trap???
MIB said he can't fly over the water and he can't leave the island. So being trapped in an electromagnetic circle (which has always seemed kinda unrealistic to me) is not how MIB is defeated. Rather he is killed/contained by being trapped in the ocean on the island. Does anyone remember for sure... the underwater hatch: did Ben say it used to be above ground? And what was the reason he had people still guarding it? Could the island have been partially sunk in the past- such as in '77 when Jughead was hypothetically detonated? Any thoughts?
Desmond isn't ready to find Penny? what's that about?
Did anyone catch the word "ready?" I hope that means they will end up together in the end. I really felt Widmore's going to ask Desmond to give up Penny and stay on the island. I wondered how all this fits into Widmore not liking Desmond in the original timeline. He probably knew Desmond was special in someway and didn't want him to get together with Penny or something.
