In the Orientation video it's states that 2 men crew replacements come every 540 days.
According to Desmond, he has been on the Island for 3 years or so, roughly 1095 days - that would mean that there should have been at least 2 sets of replacements there already.
Either he is lying or Dharma never sent any replacements.
Has this been discussed before?
Your views please.
Thats probaly why he asked Locke if the world was still out there, because they didnt show up.

Yeah but why stay put for all that time? The instructions to push the button come from the same Orientation video. Why would he carry on when no replacements arrived on or after the 540 days.
It doesnt make sense
Well, he didnt want to catch the sickness outside.
And if he left, no one would press the button and the world would be destroyed, with him on it. Would you take that risk?

Yeah but why would he believe the world would end if they lied about the replacements coming.
He didnt think they lied, he thought everyone had caught the disease.
