Default The Purge

If Charlotte and Daniel dismantled the poison gas and the island is going to travel back in time...does that mean there will be no purge?

Now there is a thought.

How did they know about that to start with?

Any clues?

No dear. If they dismantled the poison gas in 2004 and travel back in time to say, 1990 or whatever, that would be before the poison gas was dismantled. Get it?

but the Island doesn't "rewind" to the past and in the process undo events. If it jumps to the past, say 1990, then it jumps as is, right? so the event that happened changes the past and sequentially changes the future to a new course.



IDK, they could have had stored cannisters/grenades of the GAS for years.

No, it goes to that time in space. It does not take its future with it. Besides, we all seem to keep forgetting that the only thing that is traveling in spacetime is ones consciousness. The physical being is left lifeless and comatose in the place it has left. This reminds me of something. Has anyone figured out who was in the hospital bed next to Michael after he attempted suicide when he returned? The person looked so familiar but I cannot place him. He also fits the bill perfectly for one who is traveling in spacetime with his consciousness. He is comatose and even the nurse said she knew he wasn't the one making the noise in the room. Is he really a time travelor??????

I think it was Hanso!
But I dont think we ever really agreed to anyone.

Also... we dont really know the rules of time travel yet as far as this show goes... so i guess it could be possible that an action in the future can erase the past. But I doubt it.

That's it! It was Alvar Hanso!!! YES!!! YES!!!! YES!!!! Exactly!!! Most definitely. No doubt! Yahoooo!!!! So, it appears Alvar is time traveling then. That would make sense! Okay, now I have some thinking to do! Great call!!!! Great, great call Missie!!! Thank you! It has been bugging me for a long time!!!!!
As for the rules of time travel. They have been established ever since Mrs. Hawking showed Des. TPTB have already said, a long time ago at that, that time travel rules were in that episode. You cannot change the future or your destiny. You only have the choice of how you get there. The outcome will not be different.

OK -- I am thinking that the island jumps to the whenever in time and place as it is....I posted this thought last season...! The Black Rock is just in the middle of the island right, OK....so when we saw the island disappear at the end of last season that made me think that the island has moved in the past and when it re-appeared at whatever time in history it reappered it popped up in the ocean right where the Black Rock was located in the ocean....hence then the Black Rock is now in the middle of the island..... I think the island jumps as is.....thoughts on this

I think perhaps moving the island and time travel may be two different things!
