Complete Episode Guide: The Constant Guide
The Constant Clues
- Daniel drew Frank a cheat sheet that looks like it would help a child.
- The helicopter left the island at dusk and not long after landed on the freighter in the middle of the day.
- Daniel asks if Desmond has recently been exposed to high levels of radiation or electromagnetism. Desmond was exposed when the hatch imploded (Ep: 2x23, Live Together, Die Alone) and from that point forward had flashes of his past and future life.
- When Ray shines the light in Desmond's eyes, his pupils don't dilate.
- Daniel says that if the numbers Desmond gave him are correct, it will unstick Eloise in time, just like Desmond.
- When Desmond asks if Daniel sent Eloise to the future, Daniel says, "Her consciousness, her mind."
- Daniel says that Desmond was gone for 75 minutes, but Desmond feels he was only in the future for five minutes.
- The lot number for the journal, 2342, was the same number that Daniel made Desmond memorize for the device he used on Eloise, 2.342.
- The seller of the journal was a Hanso. The Hanso Foundation was the company responsible for putting together the Orientation Film that was in the Swan Station.
- Daniel tells Desmond that you can't change the future.
Questions Raised by The Constant
- Why did Frank need a cheat sheet? Is it because he has difficulty with directions? If so, he wasn't always this way, or he never would have passed the tests to get his pilot's license. Was the cheat sheet made in case Frank got disoriented like Desmond? It doesn't seem like it, because it seems Frank is using it when he's not disoriented.
- How come when Desmond jumps back and forth between 1996 and 2004 he remembers up to 1996?
- If Daniel sent Eloise's consciousness to the future, is that also what has happened with Desmond? Does that mean that in the past he sees the future? We started in 2004 and went back to 1995, so how is that Desmond jumped to the future instead of the past?
- Who sabotaged the equipment on the freighter?
- What time period was George jumping to?
- What secrets are held in the Black Rock journal?
