This shouldnt be be bugging anyone.
The episode was carefully crafted to reveal how he knows.
Watch it again and pay attention to the Main focus of this episode---which was Daniel experimented on himself and has done damage to his brain
Who else damaged their brain?--his girlfriend.
How? Mind Time travel
What other clues? Charlotte uttered the same words in this episode about chocolate that she did when she died. The script is littered, from top to bottom, that Daniel experienced this same phenomenon---its how he wrote in his journal. We are meant to witness that Journal empty and then we see it totally filled and constantly being read by Daniel during the episode.
Get it now?
Daniels mind time traveled into his future body and gained concrete facts about the future. The writers wrote in this memory problem from Daniels very first scene on Lost to account for Daniels freewill. I wrote this in Lostpedia--and 100 dingbats erased it---but Daniel could not recall his name when Jack and Kate first met him--he also exhibited "word searching" when saying his stuff was in his "pack"( a long pause while the mind searches for the write word). So this was planned from day one.
The other huge clue in this episode is confirming the Plane in the trench is REAL. I have been crying this since Naomi crashed on the Island. The scripts keep spilling out clues that widmore planted it and culminated tonight with his confession. Its how you reinforce a lie in the views mind. There is no need to continue talking about the trench plane in episode after episode if it is really fake.
Daniel cries when he sees it because it is real. He was BS'ing Jack. He knows the plane doesnt land in LA. He knows it always suppose to crash in the pacific--thats the REAL timeline. People keep waiting for time to change not realizing the entire show is screaming that time was changed when 815 crashed on the island instead of the pacific.
Daniel cries because during mind time travel he figured this out. However, he doesnt remember due to his condition. But you dont subconsciously cry over a fake plane crash.
As I said in the last blog--a bomb is heading toward the electromagnetism in both timelines. I know Im the first to say this as I read all the forums. Pat pat :)
Daniel knows the future

Great analysis. I thought that it was pretty obvious about Daniel's mind traveling and the journal from last night's episode. The show definitely seems to demonstrate the struggle between free will and a constant block universe. My question to you is why do you think that they changed the universe by crashing on the island originally. I was under the impression that mrs. Hawking's comment to Penny about not knowing what was going to happen was an indication that everything that was supposed to happen, happened up until Desmond ended up in the hospital. It was either that incident, Penny not getting shot, or Desmond not going back to the island. Desmond was the Constant, but now he's the variable. Hence, time has been changed now somehow. The whole episode was showing that you can change time and that it will change, not that it has? Can you elaborate? Thanks.
as for the plane at the bottom of the ocean being real why then was the pilot not wearing his ring? isn't that how lapidus spotted the phony? or have the lost writers already answered this question via bernard who takes off his ring when he flies? hmm. i love your analysis either way. I have suspected time line bifurcation theory to be at play here. Furthermore after the survivors made it back home wouldn't the issue be of the bodies recovered from the downed plane (which were equal to the total number of passengers) mean that if six survived, there was 6 people on the plane that weren't supposed to be on the plane? Instead everyone is trying to get to the bottom of kate and aaron.
btw, i've bookmarked this page. bloggers like you enhance my love of this show.
