So, like, the hatch blew off your underwear?

by Holli

Love, love, love Hurley! He makes me laugh so much. But it’s a good question. Why did Desmond wake up naked in the jungle? Found this on Pop Candy.

Has anyone read “The Time Traveler’s Wife”? I just read it and something from that book reminded me of what could have happened to Desmond. In the book, the time traveler travels time when he doesn’s mean/want to. When he travels, he arrives at the location naked. A lot of times, it is when he is in trouble. Kind of like the panic makes him travel time to save himself from the situation. Could this be what happened to Desmond? That’s why he says he woke up “like this” - naked - in the jungle. Maybe he also traveled and heard Locke’s speech. He could have been hiding then because he was still naked. Hummmm….

I’ve never read The Time Traveler’s Wife, but it sounds like a smart connection. Anyone read it who would like to comment?

    Yes! I knew the nakedness of Desmond rang a bell. Time travel would explain the absence of clothes and the look into the future speech of John. Great connection! By the way, you must read the Time Traveler’s Wife. Great book.

  2. Aaron Says:

    But, we know the producers have already discussed in the first season that time travel isn’t involved.

    I think that Desmond’s been reborn. Because apparently he has a power for knowing the future. I think that him being naked is symbolistic of him being reborn.

    Aaron.
