      Yeah got it. Wonder if Widmore and Hawking were an item? Is Faraday the son of Widmore?

      You could tell that Hawking didn't like Ben when He showed up at the church. But she didn't seem hostile towards him either. Just thinks he's a weasel. Probably tricked her at some point too.

      We'll have to see how this all unfolds, but its possible that Hawking was in a position of power on the island and may have been a leader along with Widmore, but Hawkings and Widmores agendas seem different.

        Re: *** LOST: Season 5 Discussion***

        Yea, my guess is that Faraday is Widmore's son. It just seems to be headed there. Unless Charles just loved Ellie so much that he was willing to support her child's experiments.

        This, of course, now leads me to another question. Charles and Ellie might have been an item. They obviously worked together. Ellie is Faraday's mother. Charles has been financially backing Faraday's experiments. Charles wants to get back to the Island. Ellie helped Ben get back to the Island.

        It seems like a conflict in interest here. I wonder if Faraday and his mother speak. Was there a breakdown in their relationship as a result of Widmore funding his work? And is Widmore trying to get Faraday there first so he can take over before Ellie gets people there so she can take over (or Ben take over)?

        There's something missing here or something I'm overlooking.


        edit: Ha, just saw that fistofrage is wondering the same thing. Ok. We're on the same page with that at least.

          So some of these Losties are 2 different ages in the same year? They just won't be in the same place because they are on the island.

          Take Jin. So he was in a poor fishing village as a toddler in 1977. From 1974 to 1977 he also was living his present....which correlated to 2004 to 2007 on the outside world.

          So that Toddler Jin grew up in his normal course married Sun, worked for her father, got on flight 815 in 2004(went back in time from 1974 to 1977) for the last 3 years and now its now 2007. 1 person, one timeline. No Problem.

          The writers are going to have to be very careful with this or throw in Magical Memory earaisng temples and other gadgets or it could blow up real easily.
          So, you're saying that there are two Jin's or one? I'm confused by this.

          I feel there are two. One back home with his fisher father. And the older one on the Island. Both in 1977.

          Going on this, I want to say that's why Ben didn't go back to 1977. Can't have two people in the same place (a lot of what you were saying at one point, though with places instead of time). However, I've been hesitant to support this because of Sun. It doesn't make sense. Whatever happened to her happened to Ben, right? I want to think so. If that's the case, then Ben not traveling back didn't have anything to do with there being a young Ben in 1977. Unless, there's a part of Sun's life we don't know.

            Another question to throw out there. Could one of the Losties be lying?

            If the Losties could travel on flight 316 and end up in 1977, isn't it possible that there was a person traveling to 2004 from Season One?

              Thats where I am confused as well. There is 2 Jins in 1977 right now, there would have to be because little Jin grew up in Japan continuously(as least we can surmise that). But the thing we have to remember is that 1977 already happened and Jin was on the island and couldn't have seen himself. Per the storyline there has to be 2 Jins.

              In theory could Jin have jumped on the Dharma submarine in 1977 and gone and visted little Jin? Thats where I have a problem with this. The show is leaning towards yes, but I say No. It wouldn't make logical sense because then there would be 2 distinct beings coming from the same being and you can't have that on this single path. If we are talking about alternative dimensions then yes.

              So for the sake of the story, I would say yes, there are 2 of every time traveling lostie over the age of 30 in 1977. For the sake of the time travel theories that I have read and logic, there either can only be 1 or the 2 can never meet.

                Yes, Locke.

                I can't explain it, but on flight 815, the losties crashed and Locked flashed.

                  but Locke was on the plane. we see him in the airport and on the plane, and they made a thing about him being able to suddenly walk after 815 crashed, so unless the paralyzed locke flashed somewhere else, and a different locke flashed to the 815 crash, its not likely.

                    I think the answer is yeah there can be two of someone BECAUSE - during the time flashes there was the flash of light in the sky from Locke banging on the Hatch while at the same moment locke was viewing it from a different position on the island.

                    This would also kinda explain the existance of ghosts like claire and walt in the early seasons.

                      But didn't Locke tell them they couldn't or shouldn't go over there? I think it creates some issues.

                        For whatever reason Locke was guided to be on that plane.

                        There is a bunch of circular references going on in the show now.

                        Because everything keeps circling around like a merry go round with Locke, there still has to be an entry point. The logical entry point to this whole saga for the Losties would be flight 815.

                        However with Locke its not. He was guided onto that plane by Hostiles who met up with him at the point he was paralyzed as far as I know.

                        There is something odd with Locke.

                          Its more likely that they told Hurley to put some numbers into to something in 1977 which came after his 2004, so he just said screw it and put in the Lotto numbers.

                            I agree something is off with him like there are going to be some major revelations with his character. I think he was actually on 815 though. I dont agree that locke flashed and the other people crashed.

                              You are probably right, but the way they showed Locke kind of "awaken" when he first flashed or crashed seemed a little different than the other Losties as well. And it probably should have because he can walk now, but it still seems like of all the people on the plane, he was meant to be there. Is it possible that flight 815 was a re-enactment of a previous crash or "lostie" arrival much like the most recent flight was a re-enactment of flight 815. The other Losties are there, but were they guided in a manner such as Locke?

                              Did they guide Locke to get flight 815 as close as possible to a previous event? Much like the most recent flight.

                              Another thing was that plane that they found submerged a plant by Widmore or someone else? Did they ever give us a clear answer of where that other Jet came with all the dead people came from?

                              I've pretty much only watched each season once at the time it aired, so I must admit my memory of all previous seasons episodes is sketchy....I know what happened, just can't recall every detail.

                                Great theories everyone. I was pretty sure it was known that Charles planted the plane, but I cannot remember exactly either. I looked it up and we find out when Tom talks to Michael off of the island, according to Lostpedia.

                                "Widmore" redirects here. For other uses of "Widmore", see Widmore (disambiguation). Charles Widmore is the secondary antagonist of Lost. He served as a supporting flashback antagonist in Season 2 and Season 3, the overarching antagonist of Season 4, the main antagonist of Season 5 and the secondary antagonist of Season 6. He was a leader of the Others, a wealthy industrialist and the father of Penelope Widmore and Daniel Faraday. He had a long-running rivalry with his successor as leader...
