@723music Thank God I'm not the only person who thinks this. I think Charlie was holding the series down. After him things were like "....Why is this happening ?? I'm CONFUSED."
For you newbies, a constant is someone of something that you really care about in both the time periods that you are in, the mental time and where you really are: the physical time. In short, something to jolt you to the time when you belong, something familiar.
If you watch the series and understand it, you will notice that some of the characters stay in the present (during the flashes) while others move through time.
Constants are the ones who stay in the same time period and variables move through time, and their location (in time) varies, like a variable in an equation
I'm guessing that with this scene and when Daniel and the survivors were out at sea when the Island moved, this might result in him going back and forth from the past to present. This will result in trying to find Desmond in the past and not being unstuck in time. Or maybe Charlotte is his actual constant? We will have to wait and see when Season 5 comes. Just two-and-a-half more months till the season starts!
I think Dan has worked with Dhama maybe in the Orchid station moving things forward as he has moved things. Forgotten this because something went wrong and he forgot this and carrys on forgetting things because he was affected. The women could be someone who looks after him and could be someone present past or maybe...Future?
In this episode, Daniel said, "(your constant) had to be something you really really care about" it wasn't until later that Desmond asked "This constant, can it be a person?" My theory is that Desmond is Daniels constant because he represents the success of all the experiments on time travel that Daniel had been working so hard on.
Although, they do make quite a cute pair, don't they?
wont this cause a problem for desmond as hes with penny now and shes meant to be his constant not him hes going to have to protect her from ben as hes vowed to kill her.
this show realy does know how to screw with my mind but i love it lol
I think it might be possible to have two constants...it could work both ways so if Penny does end up being killed then Desmond still has the second constant which would be Daniel. Just a thought though...
Has anyone considered that the use of the word "constant" maybe a mathematical/physics related theme in the sense that Daniel and Desmond are part of an equation.
Yeah, I knew that, but think about it, why would you have a constant that you hate? I mean, I know what your saying, but I mean think about it, Desmond could have just gotten Charles to be his constant but he didnt, because he hates him, he wanted Penny to be his constant, because he loves her
Maybe Faraday considered Des to be a good friend. 1996 Faraday made that note in his notebook because he just made contact with past des and knew his future self told des to find him. With that Faraday had already established a constant.
dont mean to insult faraday fans but he said his constant would be some1 he cares about and can get to in the future and past. Why is desmond his constant them. (gay?)
Best Episode

It's nothing to do with frienship. A constant is someone who you have known in your past, and who you still know in your present.

because Desmond is probobly the closest thing to a friend Dan had off the island, plus, Desmond would know why Daniel needs to find him
