Lost Again

And now a few words about the TV show LOST:

First, since Faraday died in his present but his mom's past, does that mean that in her present she instantly has the memory of killing Daniel as a young woman as well as memories of raising him? Desmond had a memory of Faraday talking to him at the hatch from his past that suddenly came to him when Faraday was time skipping. Desmond had this new memory at the exact time in his present as Faraday's present frame of reference as though they were both running concurrently. This is my precedent for believing this. Either way, kinda weird.

Second, supposing the O6 are able to stop things from happening the way they originally did, what effect would that have exactly? I figure it this way. Supposing they were able to travel back to a time shortly before flight 815 they would still have memories of all that happened right, since it is happening to them all in their present time? They just would be able to live their lives after getting off in Los Angeles like they would have had 815 not crashed.

I'm also wondering about Charlotte. Supposing she leaves the island and it turns out that 815 doesn't crash, she would have no reason to visit the island post crash and thus would not be caught up in the time skipping. But she did die in her present, so would that mean that in late 2004, wherever she is in the world, she would die at that same time since she couldn't live after a point in which she would have died? Or do the rules change because she was time skipping? And would this apply to everyone who has died on the island after the crash of 815?

My head is swimming a bit so I'm hoping I can make sense of it. If you're into LOST I recommend Lostpedia.com or The Lost Diary for great info and ideas about where LOST is heading. If you're not into LOST you've saved yourself 15 hours per week of viewing, reading, thinking, dreaming and otherwise pondering. Congratulations either way!
