desmond had the choice to marry penny and not go to the island.
however the old women in the ring shop said that the universe has a way of course correcting.
So if desmond did not go to the island the plane would of not crashed
And maybe everyone on that plane was meant to die when the plane crashed
So if desmond did not go to the island all the losties would of dieded
Thats maybe why losties are dieing one by one
and thats maybe what the island is meant to do course correct

Rose: And don't forget that!

OR, he and Penny marry, they go on a world wide cruise, like the Love boat, it capsizes, he is the only survivor and ends up on the island anyway.
I think the correction would have been that anyone could have been the button pusher, but the Losties were going to be on that island no matter what. those dying are just late at it.

I THINK that desmond did not marry penny because he was going to end up in the island anyway

He should have married her. They could have just stayed in London then they would never end up on that island. Unless they were kidnapped and dropped on an island no one knows exists.

If all that stuff she said wasn't a load, I think Des would have ended up there anyway. Either the boat, or skydiving gone horribly wrong...

Penny's dad would have made sure that Desmond got LOST one way or another. After the conversation in his office (the $80,000 whiskey scene) when Des wanted to marry Penny, and the scene when Pen's dad shows up IMMEDIATELY after Des is released from prison, just waiting in the car and gives him all of the letters he had sent Penelope(so penny never knew des was writing her, she must have felt abandoned). Or even that fact that he mentions the race around the world (which is long and dangerous) to him and then Des "happens" to run into a crazy lady who wants to just give him a boat to compete in this race... suspicious to me!

I agree with ya here Queenbee... I don't know about all of you but don't run into super nice people who want to buy my coffee or just give me a boat so that I can race around the world... Really if anyone here wants to give me a sailboat, just send me a pm... LOL Sorry I just think that the LIBBY story has a lot more to do with it than what we have already seen... Libby said that she was recently widowed.. Her husbands name was David, this is David's boat that she gives Des..

Why was she in the mental Hospital?
Was it before or after David's Death?

Please don't give up, Des. Because all we really need to survive is one person who truly loves us. And you have her. I will wait for
you. Always. I love you, Pen

DESMOND: --I'll come back to you--
PENNY: --I won't give up--
BOTH: I promise. I love you.

DESMOND: I know you have questions for me. I'm not gonna answer them. I've come here to ask you something. And once you've told me everything I need to know, you'll never see me again. Understand?

WIDMORE: All right.

Exactly Wed! I've also wondered if Libby's husband's death was a result of one of our other losties. Whose killed someone? Kate shot the bank guard, maybe Jack or Jack's dad lost someone on the operating table, we still don't know was Sawyer's "Tampa job" was but apparently nothing could make up for it, Hurley collapsed a deck that killed 23 people, and so on...

oooh man, poor Hurley, everytime i hear about that i cringe for him. My personal opinion is that i think that Libby ended up in the mental institute after the death of her husband. She's there because of depression. Libby definitely has more to offer this show than what we've seen since.
