Lost – “The Constant”
Original airdate 2/28/08
This one’s a bit of a stretch, but since we’re talking about my favorite show, I’m cutting them some slack. You see, while mentions of Christmas are few and far between in this episode, a calendar on the freight reminds the Lostaways that it’s December 24th.
Desmond David Hume doesn’t always experience time the way the rest of us do. Sometimes he sees flashes of the future, and it seems that he’s managed to rewrite his past. I spend a lot of time thinking about this. We learned in Season Four that time passes differently on the Island than off of it, and never was this more apparent than when pilot Frank Lapides took Desmond and Sayid off the Island and to the freighter.
