QUESTION-

In "The Constant", Desmond's 1996 consciessness takes over and skips back and forth between 96 and 04.
He fixes this by tracking down Faraday and finding his constant, but the question is this:
Why does his circa 2004 self not seem to have been effected by these events?
We know that whatever happened happened. So the Desmond of 2004 would remember that strange day in 1996.
The only thing I can really think that covers this is that none of what he experiences during the flashes gives away that he's on the island. It's all on the helicopter and the boat.
Perhaps he just never connected the two. But he knew that he would be calling Penny in 2004, so why wouldn't he know that the situation was coming?
