LuckyLopez 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2009 Something nobody else mentioned, but I noticed: with the flaming arrows and land mines, every one of the anonymous extras are finally all dead. From everyone who survived the plane crash, we're down to just our main characters now. Are we? Certainly some of them got picked off with arrows or mines and the herd got culled quite a bit but aren't there still folks unaccounted for? The woman (Elle?) mentioned there being 20 on the beach and asking Faraday, Miles, and Charlotte what happened to them. Juliet and Sawyer were the only others we saw accounted for. While some of them could well have been killed off the bulk of them could be running around flashing in time like the relevant characters. And conspicuous by their absence in the last episode were Rose and Bernard, who I assume would at least merit on an onscreen death. My guess is that sooner or later the group of characters we care about will run into Rose and Bernard leading a group of extras and we'll continue having a bunch of them for the near future.

Jingus 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2009 Shit. Good point. Forgot about R&B. So, any theories on why Widmore would bend over like a bitch for Desmond and just give him the info about Mamaday? Even though he's never given Desmond anything but scorn and pain in the past? Even after Des wouldn't even tell him a single word about Penny? Even though Mamaday is working with Ben, who point blank told Widmore that he was going to murder Penny, and thus you'd think he'd want anyone connected to his daughter to stay far away from anyone connected to Benjamin Linus? I assume it'll probably be cleared up sometime, but at the moment it seems awfully out of character for Widmore, a guy you wouldn't expect to piss on Desmond if he was on fire.

RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2009 Maybe he has someone tailing Desmond? Or he has knowledge about Desmond from Faraday's experiments? Something that has him believing Desmond will help him find the island, at least. There could be something in the past that he remembers and sees this as it all coming 'round again.

HollywoodSpikeJenkins 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2009 He knows Faraday is on the island, so Desmond trying to get to Faradays mother means he is trying to get back to the island, essentially. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tommytomlin 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2009 I thought the scene played out that Widmore was desperate to know if Penny was safe, which is why he gave Desmond the information. I don't think there's an ulterior motive beyond that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LuckyLopez 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2009 Yeah, I figured it was 1 of those 2. Either he intended to use Desmond to get to Ben, Farraday's mom, and the island... or he just genuinely loves his daughter enough that he helped Desmond either to keep him from doing anything too dangerous or in hopes that it would win back some trust. Widmore's always been ruthless to Desmond but its always been about keeping Desmond away from Penny. Penny's been with Desmond for 3 years and completely out of Widmore's life. He gets nothing out of continuing to be hostile to Desmond. The goal was always to push Desmond out of his and Penny's lives. Now pushing Desmond out only pushes Penny further away. I'm more or less expecting both. He's a father who misses his daughter and he knows Desmond might be able to help him with the island. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My guess is that sooner or later the group of characters we care about will run into Rose and Bernard leading a group of extras and we'll continue having a bunch of them for the near future. I think, taking the 20 that Ellie mentioned into account...I think there are like 3 redshirts left, along with Sawyer, Juliet, Miles, Faraday, Charlotte, Rose, and Bernard...and Locke. So, about 11 standing, although Ellie didn't know about Locke, so about 10 are left from the original beach group from after the island warped around. Rose and Bernard are probably somewhere in the jungle with the other three. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aero 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2009 I like to think he's hanging out with Christian in Jacob's cabin in his time away from the survivors. Am I right in saying his last appearance was in one of the first episodes last season when Locke attached Charlotte's communicator to him to trick Jack and everyone? That's all I can remember.

Youth N Asia 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2009 Liked the last episode a lot. I knew Widmore was on the island at some point. I loved that they made him a neck-breaking badass. Really glad to see an episode that kept to the island more and showed more Richard. I wanna see the ep where the island moves and stands the Black Rock Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2009 True dat. I don't have any kind of a official preview but tonights episode is called "The Little Prince". I'm hoping it's Miles or Daniel-centric but it looks like from clips they showed at the end of last week that the focus returns to Ben and the O6. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C Dubya 04 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2009 My guess is that they'll flip flop between the two groups/storylines on a week by week basis. I think it will flow better that way too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aero 0 Report post Posted February 5, 2009 Well, the pop-up during the repeat of last week's episode just said that Desmond & Penny named that son after island Charlie, so hopefully that puts to rest the theories that Charlie Pace is their son. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
