plot explanation - Why is J the only person who remembers K?

I just saw Men in Black 3 yesterday and it seems like they have a very half baked theory to the entire time travel plot.


Why can only Agent J remember K correctly?


As in - why can only he remember him and all episodes until the previous day when K gets killed in the past? Agent O says something to the effect of that you knew him before (which also gets revealed in the last scene) - but so did Agent O and I am sure many other people.


So why does only J remember him so distinctly?


Answer


He remembers agent k because he (agent J) was there--as a child. The pawn shop guy that helped him time travel forshadows this when agent J asks why he remembers.
