Random question

My mind draws a blank right now, but now that we have this time travel thing going on, does anyone know what would happen if a future self interacted with their past self?

For a half second, thinking about reasons why Charlotte might be all nosebleedafied, I thought that perhaps Elle was pregnant with a baby Char (but then I took a millisecond to realize that Charlotte was born in the 70's-early 80's according the information provided by Ben{as though we can trust that})

But that of course led me to the aforementioned question and what kind of repercussions it could have.

Also could this have something to do with why Ben can't go back to the Island after turning the Donkey Wheel?

It's out of left field I know, but I really needed a topic of some form to start contributing.

Peace!

Is Penny more important than we're thinking?

Was just thinking about this. To this point, we still don't know who her mother is. Nor have we actually seen her and Widmore together....ever. I don't think we've even seen them talk to each other. She had people stationed around the globe looking for the island (specifically an electromagnetic pulse). And if you remember, when she and Desmond talked to her while on the freighter, she was in her flat (not that impressive till you realize that she made it out and found them on the raft not more than a week later....from London to a point in the Pacific Ocean is pretty quick in that time frame). She at least knows more about whats going on then anybody (crash survivors and possibly her father) really realizes. I have a feeling she still has some part to play out in this yet (can't exactly tell what, but pretty sure she will). Any ideas, or not that big of a deal?

Does Charlotte Die?

Travis asked me this and I said "No" but I didn't elaborate. Since Kiersten and Coffelt pointed out that Charlotte said that she was looking for the place that she was born, and it was earlier stated that the new people(Daniel, Charlotte, the Asian Guy, and the Chick that Locke killed) where all there for a reason, I have a hard time thinking that they will kill her in the next few episodes unless there is some sort of major reveal as to her purpose for coming to the island. As of right now, there has been nothing.

Changed opinion after rewatch...

I just re-watched the episode and I think we are off track on some things....

First off there was a lot of talk about the relationship between Faraday and the woman in the hospital bed. We also had some thoughts about who 'Ellie' the British woman who walked Dan out to the h-bomb was, and her relation to everyone was. I'm gonna break it into two parts.

Teresa Spencer



This was the woman who we first saw in the photo from Dan's old lab. This is the same woman who is in the hospital bed when Des goes to find her. We had some theories that she might be Dan's half sister. I really think that this is wrong. I think the main reason we came to that conclusion is because of the conversation that Faraday has with Ellie on the Island. In the conversation that Des has with Teresa's sister she speaks of Dan not like a brother at all and she mentioned that their father had died five years ago. I suppose it is still possible that their moms are the same person but the more I think about it, it just seems to circumstantial. As for Ellie.

Ellie



I am even more convinced that this is Dan's mom. The conversation that they have as they walk out to the bomb is about why Dan is looking at her funny and he says that she reminds him so someone "He used to know." This was the comment that made a bunch a people think, OH! she looks like the Teresa! She is gonna be her mom!
I think this is the wrong conclusion. I think he is using this line as a cover for "You look like my Mom, because you are." The "real Romeo" line that Ellie uses is more of a like, Ha! His mom thinks he is romantically interested in her.

As for Ellie being Ms. Hawking well. I'm totally convinced of that. Ms. Hawking knows about time travel, a lot. I think we can thank Dan for telling her that it exists in this episode. She is in LA, we know that because at the end of episode two she is talking to Ben who is also in LA. Dan's mom is also in LA (coincidence?). Finally when looking for this picture of Ms. Hawking I searched 'Hawking' on Lostpedia and it came up with the name 'Eloise Hawking'. Sorry if that is considered 'SPOILER' but it got me too. Okay well I hope some of this makes sense in some way and I look forward to seeing what you guys think.

Lost Thoughts Live?

So I just did some playing around online and found a site where I can host a live broadcast from my living room. I can also record the shows thus giving us the ability to both broadcast the watch party live as well as record our after episode discussion. I did a small test tonight and I think it could work out well. So let's put it to a vote. I'll throw up a poll and if everyone is down then next week's watch party could be online.

The Answer

I think the woman in the bed was the same woman that was on the island in the 1950's and held the gun to Faraday's head to get him to unarm the nuke.  :)

Next Week On Lost

We only have 6 days til Lost, any comments from the promo?
