Lost - Season Four

[CutiePie2000]

Did you guys catch how Desmond "crashed" that auction, and the painting of the ship being auctioned off was the "Black Rock" from the collection of that Hanso guy (who was behind the Dharma Initiative)? Wasn't Rousseau on the Black Rock or something like that? What if she's been on the island for 100 years+, but because the island is in a weird timewarp, she hasn't aged? I'm confused.

And yes, the scene of Desmond talking to Penny at the end was very bittersweet.

Hmmm... I thought one of the major "reveals" of the most recent episode was to demonstrate that the island is not time-challenged. The fact that Des made the phone call on Christmas Eve, 2004 suggests that it's Christmas Eve everywhere... including the island.

I think time gets all out of whack when people travel to/from the island. That's why Dan kept insisting that the pilot follow precise bearings.
