Question The Lightning Bolt?
I thought it was interesting when we saw Desmond's vision playing out for real and we saw that blue lightning bolt go off by Charlie. Was that how Desmond saw it, almost as a trigger or did it symbolize almost a lightning bulb going off in his head? I'm just wondering how we were supposed to view that? I saw it as symbolism inside of Desmond's mind, but I'm wondering what everyone else thought about it.

hmm, I hadn't thought about it. I really have to watch again, i was distracted, but I did see that. Perhaps this is a vague area, one part his mind knows he can (or has already) change(d).

I hadn't thought about it either, but I agree with Cable.

I don't know about that. Its not like a random bolt of lightning just popped by Charlie's head right before he was going to die. I think it really helps us see how Desmond's visions work. Their is def. something more symbolic going on with it.

Didn't the Greek God Zeus throw bolts of lightning to change events? Or was that just to kill bunnies...?

omg no killing bunnies! But yes he did I think that lightning bolts have been symbols used in mythology and literature throughout history to represent power and change. I mean in Macbeth we see the 3 fate sisters in the beginning of the play accompanied by lightning and we know that they were known for dealing with destiny and changing events.
