Okay, I'm kind of hooked on this now. I think for the most part I've managed to figure out what's going on, but in my travels on the internets I've seen a lot of people saying that Charlotte needs to find her Constant. Can anyone explain what that means to me?
A while ago Desmond was traveling through time, and he was told by Faraday (I think) that he needs to find a constant - a person or thing that is familiar to him in both time zones. He eventually finds Penny as his constant and is saved from his nose-bleeding-to-death condition.
Although I personally don't think that's the problem with Charlotte, as nobody else in her group is having the same problem. I think that she might be experiencing similar symptoms to the girl Faraday left behind (the one that's all hooked up to tubes and UV drips).
I don't think it's either. Charlotte's indirectly indicated having been on the island prior to Operation Get Ben, whether having just lived there or having actually been born there. None of the other Losties or Freighter folk can say the same. This has GOT to tie in somehow. I've read a couple theories that tie the two together, but it's almost 3 AM right now and my brain isn't fully functioning, so I sadly can't really recall their brilliant explanations, but I think pretty much everyone who has a recap for
Jughead up on
DarkUFO has talked about it.
And if you don't visit DarkUFO, start. Biggest Lost fansite out there, and pretty much the only non-forum one I go to. My favorite Lost forum is located at
4815162342.com. There are other, more popular ones out there, but I like that that one's more medium-sized, but still very active. The bigger ones just confuse me, haha.
...I like how I seamlessly moved from discussing a theory to shamelessly plugging other websites.

I just got into this show (finally) too, and I'm pretty much addicted. xD I'm still watching DVDs at the moment (just started 4). This show is such a pot of crack. It's amazing.
Season 4 or disc 4 of season 1? ...Yes, I do know off the top of my head how many discs there are for the DVD sets. D:
Anyway, welcome to our cult. If you're starting season 4, then you're definitely going to be happy here- it's a fantastic season (mostly), and definitely a reward for sitting through the ugh that was most of season 2 and the most of the first half of season 3. Ooh, and remember to check out all the DVD special features and easter eggs. Lots of easter eggs, you can search them on Lostpedia.
I dub thee Dharma Shark Bait.
Shark Bait ooh hah hah!I also give you a fish biscuit. Or Dharma-brand cookies. I guess you can have a tub of Dharma Ranch Dressing if you want.

Was it ever explained why Faraday can't remember anything? (I.e. that scene when he tried to memorize three cards).
Not explicitly, iirc, but Lostpedia's page on Faraday has
a section on perceived other memory problems of his. I think they're stretching a little with some of them, but whatever. (Yeah, he does pause before he says his name. He's also all alone with total strangers on a magical island. And he just got pushed out of a helicopter. Also, it's dramatic)
