Penny's been searching--presumably with the help of the Portugese from the end of S2--for Des. She said three years. Does that line up with how long we think Desmond's been on the Island?
The interesting thing now is to see how time is perceived differently on vs. off the island. How come communication can be synchronous? Shouldn't Penny's transmission (from London, presumably) have been sped up or slowed down? Am I thinking too linearly? This "answer" prods all sorts of other interesting questions!

Oh, wow, I'm still floored by the sheer awesomeness that was this episode of LOST. Going in from seeing the previews last week, I didn't want it to hype it in my head too much, but it didn't disappoint. Everything was just ... perfect.
What I want to know is, what makes Penny decide one day that she's going to start looking for Desmond? My guess is when she finds out that Desmond goes missing during the race and doesn't finish (much less come in first), she decides to start her quest. And according to (
http://www.lostpedia.com/wiki/Desmond), the span of time in which Desmond has been on the island and how long Penny has been looking for him seem to match up.
The other thing is that I didn't catch all of the details, but there was something about how the boat was deliberately not answering calls from Penny. This definitely makes me think that Widmore/Hanso has something to do with the freighter crew and their attempts to infiltrate the island again.
All in all, absolutely fantastic episode.
