Time line for Desmond...

[mo_options]

Last night was sick. Went back and watched Season 3, Episodes 8 (Flashes before your eyes) and Episode 17 (Catch 22). I now have large hi-def plasma and can see detail better. Found that the older lady with white hair who told Desmond that he "must go to the island and press the button or we'll all die" (who we is...the question for the ages) is the picture with the Monk who told Desmond that he wasn't cut out to be a monk, the day before he "just happened" to load wine into Penny Whitmore's vehicle. Now I'm thinking Penny might not be so golden either...but what do I know...checked the time line however and it could work...in terms of the break-up, military service, sail around the world thing...

...is the picture with the Monk who told Desmond that he wasn't cut out to be a monk...

I'm not sure what you mean by that. Did you mean to say "is in the picture with the Monk..."? And what picture are you referring to? Where was it, etc...?

It's sitting on the monk's desk...they pause the camera enough to get a clear look at the picture. there's a picture of him along with the older lady with the piercing blue eyes...it sure looks like a match. It's the day that he is leaving the monastery...after the night of drinking the wine that he was supposed to be selling...right before he meets Penny...in episode 18...If this is the case it would indicate that the monk and the older lady at the very least were there to make sure that he met Penny...and so on...

I'll have to go check out my DVD.
