[Official] LOST Ep. 5.14 Discussion

[bernzomatic]

I was thinking the same thing when Dan showed up at the Orchid in the Joe Construction jumpsuit. But, we didn't see Miles & Dan arrive, so we don't know how long they had been sitting there waiting. Dan knew he couldn't enter wearing a swan jumpsuit, because it would draw too much attention. He wanted to check out the situation, found out that it was bad and then decided to jump out of the WHH game plan and take action.

I think that between the time Dan arrived at the Orchid and when we see Chang pull up, that Dan probably found Joe's extra suit or there is a tied up Joe somewhere without his jumpsuit.

I think this theory is a bit flawed, based mainly on the fact that almost right after Daniel enters the Orchid, he approaches Chang and tells him he is a scientist for the swan station who just arrived on the sub. Chang didn't seem to care at all.

who wants to clear this up for me...

in the constant.. desmond was at oxford in 1996, faraday was a teacher there
this is where im confused.. he Graduated oxford and was asked by widmore to go to the island in 2004?? but he looked younger and the fact that he had graduated...

I just re-watched The Variable once again today and tried to get some dates set for this episode. The way I see it is that Daniel said he was the youngest to graduate from Oxford with a doctorate so I put him at about 18 years old here. That would give him a couple years to be at Oxford when Desmond arrived in 1996...The Constant...which is the year TPTB gave us for that episode. If Daniel was born in 1976 he would be 18 in 1994 and then 20 years old when Desmond meets him at Oxford. Then after 10 years of research at Oxford, Daniel leaves Oxford to move back home to Essex where he is now 28 years old in 2004. This sounds about right for his age for 2004 and it would make him 31 in the DI 1977 or 2007 in the right time line.

I believe that Daniel had been born in 1976 when Eloise shot and killed this DI man (Daniel) in 1977. That is why Richard and her looked so shocked when they heard him say that he was her son.

I agree, or else she probably would have just said that she didn't have a son.

I had to fix Daniel's age as I had it wrong!!
