It was not Penelope or their love that really was Desmond's constant. The thing that did not change was her phone number
7946 0893.
A static number is a constant.
Perhaps our favorite numbers
4 8 15 16 23 42 (108)
Are constants that keep time from shifting. As soon as Desmond stop putting these numbers in he phased out of time.
Penelope is NOT the constant - the #s are
Re: Penelope is NOT the constant - the #s are
Since they (Lost Writers) said that Ms Hawkings is the be-all end-all of the Paradox/Time Travel/What-Is-Going-On-With-Desmond storyline, and since she clearly states that Desmond and Penny will NOT ever marry or be together - that the Universe will course correct this - then maybe you are right. Though they do have us believing that Desmond and Penny are destined to be together...ugh, too much "it's this...but it could be that..." crap...
