Theory: Desmond’s Time Warp
Well, A lot of Questions arose from the latest episode “Further Instructions” in particular, how did Desmond know about Locke’s speech before he gave it. Many people, including myself, believe that Desmond could have some sort of psychic abilities, but that is not what I am thinking happened.
Now, I have long been in opposition to time warp and wormhole theories for the sole reason, that they would completely thrust the show into the realm of scifi. However, after watching “Further Instructions”, I cannot deny that episode could have been our first glimps of a time warp.
When Desmond activated the fail safe, he was right on ground zero. If the hatch imploded, then how did he get out? I think that perhaps, the failsafe triggered a time warp, that sent Desmond, Locke, and Eko into the future. Because Desmond was at the fail safe, he was sent a few hours further into the future than Locke and Eko. This could be how Desmond knew about Locke’s speech.
Desmond, could still have been tethered to the current time line, so like a stretched rubberband, at a certain point, Desmond was pulled back into the current timeline.
