Saw last week's episode a couple nights ago, and I'm surprised no one has yet questioned what the point of Daniel going on the trip to the island was. In the end, it seemed like he did nothing. Nothing more than die that is. I was baffled at the end of last week's episode why his mom ever encouraged him to go to the island since he ended up dying without having much of an effect. Then, I realized something that may likely get played up in the next episode. Daniel died in the past with his journal on him. That would explain how his mom knew everything that was going to take place up to a certain point. She wasn't mystic or some type of time-traveling genius on her own, but she read her son's accounts of what happened on and off the island for 30-odd years. That's why she forced him to stop playing music and become a scientist. That's why she kept repeating how it was Daniel's destiny to use his mind for scientific purposes, and that's why she prodded him to go to the island. If he didn't go to the island, he wouldn't end up in the past. If he didn't end up in the past, his mom wouldn't have shot him. If she wouldn't have shot him, she wouldn't have had access to all the knowledge that was in his journal when he died.
Quite a heart-wrenching and vicious cycle to be a part of.

Did you miss the part where he warns Miles's father about the impending disaster at the Swan station that causes the Hatch to be built, where Desmond stops pushing the button, causing the Oceanic airplane to crash, starting the whole chain of events? He urgently pursues that objective from the moment he gets off the sub, and then moves on to his second objective of reaching his mother.

Yes, but none of that actually came true, so I meant I was surprised no one here mentioned the futility of him coming to the island.

We don't yet know if it came true because Dr. Chang has not yet had enough time (in the current Faraday timeline) to take action (if he decides to), and something different might yet happen via Chang or the Others ... because they are VARIABLES.
Have faith ...

I thought that the preview for next week's episode showed Jack and Kate planning to take action on what Faraday said.

I didn't see the preview. Don't tend to watch the preview's for the next week's show. Gives away too much or is falsely manipulative with the editing.

I thought the two or three lines that they tossed off about "variables" was half-assed at best.

Yeeeawww!! Also, something fishy is up in the story of Daniel Faraday. "Dead is dead?" Yeah, right. That guy's gonna be alive again. I can totally tell.

Interesting -- turns out Faraday's voice on
this is now deemed a continuity error....

I may disapprove of a movie for going too far, and yet have a sneaky regard for a movie that goes much, much farther than merely too far.

I dunno about this whole Locke Killing Jacob thing. Obviously the most ironic ending would be that Jacob is, in fact, Locke which would still blow my mind even though I already thought of it.

I thought of this AS WELL. And it confuses and concerns me.
