this was re: my conclusion of what we saw in the last scene with daniel's book saying "if i get into trouble then desmond is my constant" (or something to that effect).
Well i suppose all we know for sure is that daniel would use desmond the same way that desmond used penny. However i don't think i'm the only one who believes that daniel is a bit off his rocker (and wasn't he being cared for by a nurse or something in the first episode we saw him in)(i don't really remember this but that is what i read).
And i don't think i'm the only one who thinks that daniel has timetravelled and that he's using desmond as his constant. I know the writing wasn't in his book before. But there has to be more to it than simply showing us the writing. To me it meant that daniel was going to try to timetravel. and he wrote that in his book so he'd know it. If he wasn't having these problems (like desmond and the other guy who died) or if he wasn't intentionally timetravelling. Then why write it? I can't believe that they would show us that simply in case daniel had a problem in the future.
So you really believe that daniel had never had any "episodes" because the note was not there when he and desmond were talking on the phone.
I don't know maybe that him telling desmond to contact him changed things. Because after i wrote what i wrote i went and read some of the posts on televisionwithoutpity (about last night's show). and more than one person thought the same thing i did. That after desmond in 1996 found daniel, that daniel then timetravelled.

I think an already complicated storyline is being spun by vivid imaginations..
I always prefer to stick with what I actually see and try to avoid speculation about what I "might" (and might NOT) learn about the characters' future.
The first time I saw a Daniel "flashback", he was crying while watching a newscast about the wreckage having been found. He was inconsolable. The lady who walked up to him spoke to him as though she were his wife or girlfriend. There was nothing antiseptic/hospital-like/or nursel-like in that scene that I recall.
Nothing, IMO, implied Daniel had time-traveled.
Daniel knew about time travel. I also know he knew that all his experiments led to death. It was present-day Daniel's belief that anyone afflicted must have a "constant" (i.e. someone or something in common with the afflicted person in the present and any "other place/time"), and Desmond proved it for him. Yes: The note was a warning to Daniel that IF he ever got into trouble (meaning to me he has NOT YET been afflicted), then Desmond should be his constant. And the "constant" idea was a theory Daniel had about the communications man on the ship. The folks on the ship didn't want Daniel telling anyone anything about what might help them. It was his advice to Desmond that saved him, but he gave no clue that it was something he had actually tested himself. There may be more to Daniel than meets the eye....but none of what you say above was actually revealed/implied in any part of the show that I watched. Daniel "may have" time-travelled and discovered the "constant" was his own key to survival. But nothing in that show implied that at all. I am certain it's guesswork on the part of those espousing such a thing.
Imagination is a great thing, and I think a lot of it goes into the posts at TelevisionWithoutPity...lots of speculation" ..."what ifs", and so on. singdawslopshogs slacksjaw smackscrawstacksstrawand so onandsoonad infinitum.
