I'm with you, chrism122. I think the constants will play a more important role in the next episodes. They could even explain some of the mysteries of the island that still haven't been explained, for example the black horse being Kate's constant, Christian shephard being Jack's constant and so on.

And Treebeard, even if you're right and the constants won't be a part of the show, it was worth speculating about it. We don't have a life and are lost-obsessed, so let us come up with those theories, even if they turn out to be wrong^^
