I was watching the movie, Frequency, this weekend and noticed a lot of similarities with Lost (I've been noticing that a lot lately though, like when I was reading Focault's Pendulum).
In the movie, a son in the present is able to communicate with his father, who is dead in the present, who is alive and well in 1965 through a CB radio with the help of the Northern Lights which were occuring over New York in '65 and in the present. The son realizes who he is talking to and also realizes it is the night before his father, who is a firefighter, is killed in a fire rescuing someone. He tells him that he just needed to go the other way and he wouldn't have been killed. Well the next day the father is thinking about this and goes against his instinct in the fire and ends up surviving.
The strange part is that the son now has 2 sets of memories, a set where his father died and a set where his father lived. This reminded me a lot of Desmond. He seems to have 2 sets of memories, but not only of the past but of the future as well. I have to believe that the writers got some ideas from this movie.
So, my theory is that something will be changed in the past that will effect the future and Desmond will be able to do it. At the end of the movie there is a surprise where (stop reading if you are planning on seeing the movie and don't want it ruined).....the dad jumps out at the end and is alive and saves the day and the son sees him again for the first time since his memory of him when he was alive in the 60's.
I definitely see something being changed in the past and Desmond coming out of nowhere to do it and save the day. Desmond will either have new visions and follow them through because he knows he is the only one who can help or he will be forced to by Charlie being kidnapped, etc. Sorry to all the WHHr's, but this is TV and this is what makes audiences applaud at the end.
I'm probably really reaching here and I don't have a lot of facts to support this, but I wanted to know if anyone else out there has the same feelings I do about how this will end.
