Des must have met Libby in L.A. too. Because he goes to buy coffee, and does not have enough American money.

Great! That's what I'm trying to get my head around. But something just occurred to me (I promise I'm awake this time...)

Spatial time has something to do with the series, I think most can agree.

So, I'mm looking at this backwards.

Suppose the goal was not to GET these people on the same plane at the same time. They obviously ARE on the same plane at the same time, right?

So, if Desmond can see the future, who's to say someone can't see the past? Desmond WENT into the past.

Please bear with me... The plane crashes with all aboard. SOMEONE identifies the flight number and accesses the passenger manifest. SOMEONE identifies a portion of the passengers as "desirable" and they are placed on "the LIST".

Now, here is where it get's funky... To ensure that at some point in time that THESE people board THIS plane at the SAME point in time, SOMEONE goes into the past to manipulate or fine tune events to make this happen, making past outcomes dependent on how the present turns out. I suppose you could call it anti-time, or whatever.

That's how the Others have such detailed information on the Losties.

In any case, someone from Oceanic HAD to have had contact with the Others in order to get passport information. Didn't one of the flashbacks deal with someone supposedly involved with the flight behind the scenes?

Stewie...I have only admired you through this... I admire you more now... I think I understand what you are saying & I agree

How come Sayid doesn't know any French then? :P

I don't know why Sayid doesn't know any French even though we know he lived in Paris for a time.. Maybe he didn't live there long..

He recognized that the message was in French. Where I live in Colorado there are many Spanish-speaking people who have lived here for awhile, yet they don't speak English. Their children are often bi-lingual and translate for their parents and the children often attend bi-lingual schools. My point is that if Sayid were hanging around in an Iraqi neighborhood or group, not intending to want to live there permanently, but just moving through and working to earn some money, maybe he could understand basic French, but not the crazy fish song and Danielle's mysterious writings.

I agree with you.

Albuquerque Sawyer has the trust fund set up for Clemintine in abank there... Kate robbs the bank in Albuquerque for the toy plane

Iowa - Kate was from there, The diner where her mother worked was in Iowa, Sawyer and his con-man friend met at the same diner - where Kate's mom took his order, , in "the Long con", Sawyer told his "girlfriend" (can't remember her name) to go to a motel in Sioux City off Hwy 29 - in Iowa, to wait for him there.
