What Happened to Desmond's Flashes of the Future? - LOST EXPLAINED FAQ

Welcome to the LOST EXPLAINED FAQ. This video series addresses Frequently Asked Questions about LOST and drills down into the specifics of the show. The aim is to answer smaller, more complex questions that deserve their own explorations and deep dives.

In this FAQ, we explore the nature of Desmond's flashes and ask what happened to his final vision of Claire getting on the helicopter? Did Desmond lie about it? Did Charlie really have to die? Why is there a discrepancy in Charlie's swimming ability? All this, and more, will be explained.
