So why didn't Richard recognize Daniel? Maybe with a gun pointed at you, even if you are ageless, you don't immediately recognize someone... but someone whom you captured 30 years prior and then who vanished? "Do I know you?" Is Richard just regenerating but not remembering anything?
Now we know why everyone thought Faraday was so crazy before... he was crazy. And now we know why he seemed so disoriented when he first got on the island, but later seemed more lucid. He was brain damaged, and the island healed him. Permanently, it seems, as he was off in Michigan.
Whatever happened... is happenING. Right now. Daniel always died on the island in 1977, his mother knew that. But was he right about the variables? That people have free will and can change things?
If he was right, his own death didn't much to demonstrate that things can be changed. Eloise knew he'd die. She slapped Charles. She knew.
If Daniel was right, though, and it's just a wondrous and bizarre coincidence that he died again, just like he died before, then maybe they can stop it from ever happening. And then what, they'll disappear?
I don't believe in coincidences. They make for terrible drama. There's got to be something behind them. Causing them.
Daniel was right AND wrong.
In the next two weeks, we'll know if Daniel was right, THEN wrong... or if he was wrong, THEN right. It's got to be one or the other. And in both cases, he was dead wrong. All that matters is if he was wrong before he was right, or wrong after he was right. The order of things.
