I looked through the thread and there were many replies to this so I am sure you now understand why he can die in 1997 and also be in 2004.

I thought of another way of explaining which hopefully no-one mentioned.

I live in New Zealand. We are 18 hours ahead of LA.
If I leave NZ at 6am Sunday and travel to LA (and assume the time to get there is 11 hours for simplicity), I will land in LA at 5pm Sunday NZ time but in LA it is 11pm Saturday night.
(Technically I have already experienced a Saturday night 11pm 18 hours ago in NZ).

This means I have gone "back in time" but as I get off the plane it is my present and even though it is 11pm Saturday, I have experienced time on Sunday which was in my past.

Make sense?

Love that explanation

Haven't read all the posts so I don't know if anyone already made this not so relevant observation ... I find it kind of funny in a weird Freudian way that Faraday named the rat he experiments on after his mother ... Her being so hard on him about studying and all ... HAHA. Instead of trying to stand up to her he does experiments on her in a metaphorical and psychological sense.

Unfortunately the theory doesn't work coming home to NZ. When I get off the plane in Auckland(NZ) I am suddenly thrown into the future and have lost several hours of my life..That hasn't happened in LOST..yet .

As for Farady and his mother...well if he really had any smarts he should have figured that he didn't have the same relationship with her as his peers at school and varsity did with their mums.
He should have figured out she was an overbearing bitch and acted accordingly.

However, that wasn't in the script and not in accordance with his personality.

Why did horus, and chang just sit there and let radzinski do whatever he wanted!!! he was acting like an idiot!!! he has no rational. Why didnt chang let him in on the secret that they are from the future? I think radzinski could probly wrap his mind around a concept like that? Kills me!!!

The way he and Phil were acting, Chang was probably probably they would kill them if they got in the way.

I'm still wondering why Faraday thought he'd need a gun and went into the camp like he did; it was so uncharacteristic of him? Dramatic ending? It was totally illogical and out of character.

He was becoming more cognitive as time went on. Please explain why you think he went crazy.

Totally agree. It was unnecessary for the storyline. yes, I think it was for dramatic effect only. Maybe the actor asked for too much money?

Totally agree! it was completely out of his character and stupid. why would he needed a gun? He could have easily convince the others and Eloise to help him. he just runs in the middle of the camp and points the gun and "I give you three seconds..."!??! that was totally crazy! for a moment I thought he knows he's gonna get shot and he's doing this on purpose! couldn't the writers come up with a better way to kill off a great character like Faraday? that was really ridiculous!
