everyone is way over thinking this... desmond already made his sacrifice, down the well, and BAM! dead, however, it made him more cognizant in the real world, i.e talking to Hurley, running locke over. That was his sacrifice death in that world, theres no way he survived that. period.

There's no way he would just die like that. Man deserves a death greater than Charlie's slow-motion drowning.

Granted she died later, but there is no way that blast didn't melt her face clean off. aka, Desmond could survive that fall... |

And Jin survived the freighter exploding. The Island wasn't done with him yet.
And it certainly didn't bring Desmond back just so he could fall down a well. The Island still has work for him.

Hey Spinaltumor... did we ever figure out what Ben's tumor was all about? And how about those pregnant women?

My theory on the tumor is that the Island (or Jacob... Or MIB... Or whatever force is really in charge here...) gave Ben the tumor to show him his time as leader was over now that some Candidates were coming. But the intent wasn't to have him die, so the tumor was placed on the spine where a spinal surgeon such as Jack would have no trouble removing it.
It's (possibly) similar to how Jack got appendicitis right as he was trying to leave the Island. It was a sign that he shouldn't go.
Pregnant women...no idea. It happened after 1977. So it might be related to the bomb's radiation. But radiation should make men sterile, and that isn't the case. So it could be radiation, but the Island heals the men, but can't heal the women. Or it's not radiation and it's MIB or whoever's doing. No pregnancy means less additional people to corrupt and destroy.

Granted she died later, but there is no way that blast didn't melt her face clean off. aka, Desmond could survive that fall... On the hydrogen bomb, did it really explode or did it just interact with the electromagnetism causing everyone around it to go back to the present time? I don't know, it did explode. And Jin survived the freighter exploding. The Island wasn't done with him yet. And it certainly didn't bring Desmond back just so he could fall down a well. The Island still has work for him. I rewatched that episode before season six started and if you see where Jin was, it makes sense why he didn't die in that explosion. He ran to the end of the ship right before the explosion and after it happened, if you look in the water, there are pieces of the end of the ship floating in the water. It's possible he was only thrown into the water. |

i mean locke falls half way down the well and he was like halfway dead, i think desmond is done in this timeline, per se.

Locke broke his leg. That's hardly halfway dead.

When Flocke dropped the torch, there was a splash. This isn't the well that Locke fell down - remember - Flocke said the well-diggers didn't find what they were looking for, and that there were other wells.

True. The well Locke fell down was eventually filled back up.

I think Daniel Widmore's explanation that he already detonated a bomb to create the alterna-world they're all living in explains what happened to the energy from the nuke. Rather than going off in Juliet's face, the energy actually CREATED the alternate timeline. The proximity of that catastrophic energy release to the electromagnetic energy caused a time jump for our Losties in the immediate vicinity, and, for some reason, the DHARMA van. And in the alternate timeline, something happened to sink the island, perhaps simply the release of the electromagnetic energy from one of the pockets, but certainly it gave most of the Others time to escape first.

They would make it obvious if Des died, they would have him falling into a jump cut. The splash sounds like his fall could be broken by a pool of water at the bottom. The well diggers had to get out somehow, Des will too. And they didn't find what they were looking for, maybe Des will.

Maybe the bottom of the well is soft, supple styrofoam, like the top of the well looked like.
