Tweet Popular Products in Movies Intruder From $15 40 Pounds of Trouble From $29 The Bottom Line Go easy on him, Claire. It wasn't his fault. Mostly. I have very little idea of what the fourth season of LOST will offer, but I have an expectation that early in the season, we'll see Desmond return to the beach, where he will be forced to tell whoever is there what happened to Charlie. Whether she hears it from him first-hand or gets the bad news from someone else - probably Hurley - I suspect Claire's reaction will echo her season one hysterics when Danielle snatched Aaron and that it's going to take a while to get Desmond on her good side again. While Desmond really did do everything possible to preserve Charlie's life once they had reached their destination and, later, down in the hatch, if it weren't for him, Charlie wouldn't have gone there at all; since Claire not only knows Desmond was with him but knows about his clairvoyance, I think he can expect an accusatory welcome from her. Maybe not. Claire does have a pretty charitable personality, but after suffering such a profound loss, she'll probably want to rail against somebody... Desmond, meanwhile, will probably be so miserable that nothing Claire might say can make him feel worse. But before the season's over, I think she'll find it in herself to forgive him. Anyway, I appropriated my favorite ode to friendship - Simon and Garfunkel's Bridge Over Troubled Water - for Claire's charge that Desmond failed his friend in the critical moment. Charlie knows differently; maybe she will eventually too. In That Hatch Don't come near me, Standing tall. I hear right through your lies. You deserve to crawl. You may have tried, But not enough. You'll never calm me down! In that hatch hidden underwater, You let Charlie drown. In that hatch hidden underwater, You let Charlie drown! We both dared to doubt The flashes you'd seen, Believing your regard Would pull Charlie through. Was it so hard To guard your chum? Some flimsy friend he found! In that hatch hidden underwater, You let Charlie drown. In that hatch hidden underwater, You let Charlie drown! I am still his girl; He's the guy Who I'll have on my mind Till we meet again someday. Dreams can be kind, But when slumber ends My sorrow's all I'll find. In that hatch hidden underwater, You left him behind. In that hatch hidden underwater, You left him behind!
