The interesting thing now is to see how time is perceived differently on vs. off the island.

I missed the first seven minutes of this episiode, from what I saw this question wasn't answered. There are two dichotomies regarding time:
1) On versus off the island, (the 31 minute discrepancy with the rocket)
2) People stuck in time versus people unbound by time (ie. Desmond and Eliouise the (dead) rabbit)
So this episode discussed the second question, about how Desmond was able to see the future and how he flashed back into the past, but it doesn't answer the first question.
I had some issues with the whole "unbound by time" thing. If Desmond wasn't bound, then shouldn't he have been able to see into the future and known that he would have contacted Penny, so why would he freak out?
Also interesting was the note in Faraday's notebook saying, "Desmond is my constant". My only guess about why this is significant is that it could mean Faraday also unbound himself from time.
This was one of the most satisfying episodes...I felt like I should have smoked a cigar afterwards. Finally some real answers that begin to put some parameters on the crazy lost universe.
