During last season's finale, we got some information concerning how Desmond got to the island. Now, we get to see Desmond's life before that and seeing what moves him on his course. What is unique about Desmond's experience is that he appears to get a second chance at things and makes the same mistakes.
After turning the fail safe key at the Hatch, Desmond have been seeing flashes of a possible future where Charlie's life is put in danger and results in his death. Desmond built a lightning rod and saved Claire from drowning to prevent Charlie's inevitable death twice.
Overall, Desmond episodes are great and his love story with Penny are inspiring. He is one of the few characters on Lost that are part of the group, but at the same time, outside of the group which provides the writers some neat opportunities to expand the plot. His ability to survive electromagnetic anomalies will be key in the future.
