You little devils. We were taking these flashbacks at face value, and now, this mind-blowing realization that the Losties could be time-traveling. What the—?! That was awesome! Is this sort of a climax of season three?
C.C.: This is the first of a couple of turning points.
D.L.: Yeah. We had mentioned earlier that we were going to drop a couple of bombs in the middle of season three. And this is sort of—
C.C.: Bomb one.
D.L.: I'd say this is kind of a grenade. The real bombs have yet to come.
C.C.: Right now we are softening up the earth for the big bombs that are going to fall. The B-52 is on its way.
Henry Ian Cusick was so good in the episode. Are we going to see more of him as the season continues?
C.C.: Absolutely. I mean, I think the Desmond-Penny love story is really central to the whole overall mythology of the show.
D.L.: And obviously, he sort of leveled Charlie with this very sort of specific proclamation at the end of the episode, that Charlie is going to die. And coming down all the way through the end of season three, that becomes a very major storyline that we're following, which is, Desmond keeps seeing Charlie die and can he stop it? Is he powerless to stop it?
So has Dominic Monaghan been calling you every day just to check on what's happening in the writer's room?
D.L.: What is tricky is that Dominic Monaghan is an awesome actor. Before we put out this script we called him and said, "Look, this is what Desmond is going to say to you." We had to have a conversation with him about where we were going. And [Dom] was very, very excited about it. Just because, the idea of one day you're Charlie, and you care about Claire and the baby. And suddenly, the next day you're Charlie, and you care about Claire and the baby, but you've got this, you know, massive Grim Reaper standing over you at all times. I think it's really given that character something that he didn't have before. We've sort of moved on beyond the addiction, and now he has something really cool to play.

Oh No! They didn't bat down the ridiculous notion that all flashbacks were time travel! :(
