6x11 - "Happily Ever After" Alternate 2004

1. The large amount of electromagnetism transferred Desmond's consciousness into the alternate reality.

2. Hurley noticed Desmond on the 815. That means that he wasn't popping in and out of this reality. There is in fact an alternate Desmond Hume.

3. George Minkowski is Desmond's driver. That's meant to be an homage to the revival of the Prisoner.

4. In this reality, Desmond is heavily invested in his work, to the point where it has earned him a place as Charles Widmore's "right hand man."

5. So Charlie was on the plane to perform with Daniel Widmore (NOT Faraday) at an event run by Eloise Widmore.

6. Widmore shares his valuable whiskey with Desmond. This is the same whiskey that he wouldn't even let Desmond touch in "Flashes Before Your Eyes."

7. This reality's Charlie remembered the original reality on a more conscious level (primarily Claire) as a result of his near death experience on the plane. It's a shame that he didn't see her on the plane.

8. In Charlie's second suicide attempt, he presses his hand up against the car window in the same fashion as he did in "Through the Looking Glass." This action trigger's Desmond's memory of his other life, as he recalls Charlie having written "Not Penny's Boat" on his hand at the end of that episode.

9. The MRI also triggers memories of Desmond's relationship with Penelope Widmore in his other life.

10. Why is Charlie running out of the hospital? What does he believe he's looking for?

11. Eloise Widmore is very ambiguous. On the one hand she seems to have the same universal knowledge that she had in the original reality. It seems like she knew that Driveshaft wasn't going to perform to begin with (even though she flipped out at a caterer for not knowing how to set a table), and then she blocks Desmond from looking at a list almost as though she's trying to block him from finding Penelope Widmore.

12. Daniel Widmore awakened his memories of his other life with his random encounter with Charlotte. It caused him to remember his love for her on a more conscious level. That event also triggered his knowledge of quantum mechanics as well. I wonder if Daniel could remember his death on the Island.

13. Penny seems to have a habit of running in the same stadium where Desmond and Jack first met.

14. Touching Penny's hand seems to have brought Desmond's memory of the Island entirely to the surface. Now he believes that he must unite the passengers of Oceanic 815.
