Countdown to LOST!!! Season 5 - Page 8

I'm curious about the numbers... 4,8,15,16,23,42

Could these be important numbers in people's lives...

I just looked up Stephen Hawking, because of the character of "Mrs. Hawking" He has a lot in common with Daniel and Mrs. Hawking. He was born 8 January 1942 ... 2 of the numbers "'42" and "8" ... John Locke (philosopher) was born 8/29/1632 - 10/28/1704 ... two more of the numbers. I'm trying to remember the other philosophers & scientist mentioned ... David Hume: 4/26/1711 - 8/25/1776 ... 4 and 8 again. Then there is Michael Faraday: 9/22/1791 - 8/25/1867. It probably has nothing to do with anything. I just found that strange. I love reading the bios for these people who the creators clearly used as foundations to their characters.

Could it be his mom?!?!She'd be about the same age as Widmore, right??

I'm not talking about the Other girl. I'm talking about the sick woman in the bed and Charlotte. Was it the same woman?

[the_lissa]

No Charlotte and Theresa are not the same woman.

[QUOTE=wholewheatmama;13089180]Why did the little girl soldier say to Faraday, "You just couldn't stay away, could you?"???? She seemed like she didn't know who he was, so what did that mean?QUOTE]

Maybe she just thought they were with the soldiers that had come before?

Richard is fast becoming a favourite character of mine. I liked that for once, he didn't know everything.

I found last night's episode especially to be much more fast paced than previous seasons. I guess they have a lot to tell us in the next two seasons, before it is done. I'm bummed that this season is so short - only 16 episodes.

So, why is only Charlotte being affected by the time sickness?

[holyhelianthus]

I'm really confused on why we are calling they woman who had Faraday at gunpoint "little girl" and Charles Widmore the younger "boy". But then again I am a 23 year old mother of almost 5 and it's a pet peeve of DH and mine when obvious adults (even if they are young adults) are called by child designations.

Anywho I sooo did not see Charles Widmore the younger coming! I don't think it would be a stretch for him and the blond solider to be Faraday's mom and pop.

Anyone else catch that Des and Penny's boy's name is Charlie? *sniff*

I totally forgot the third scientist guy could talk to dead people. It took me a minute.

Why do some (most?) of the Others have English accents?

Also Charles Widmore... I wonder how old he really is. Do all the Others not age or just Richard? It's possible that Charles is a lot older than we might think.

Totally random but how cool would it be to live on a house boat. And with Desmond no less! Being with him might just make me forget about my fear of deep dark water

What if Charles was the leader when Ben took his place? And that's why he wants the island back?

After Charles ran from John & Sawyer and Richard was concerned that he had been followed, Charles did say "you think they know the island better than I do?" That sounds exactly like something Ben or John would say.

[JessasMilkMama]

I definitely think the pretty, young other WOMAN was faradays mom.
And we were wondering who his dad was, I told my friend, what if Faraday impregnated his own mother! LOL

I caught that and yes I agree. *sniff*

But exactly WHO is he named after? After all, Penny's father's name is Charles. It just seems odd they would name their son Charlie since she appears to believe he is an evil person.

[goodcents]

Charlie the drug addict that died in the undersea hatch. He used to hang about with Clair. I don't think it is after charles whidmore at ALL.

yeah but isn't weird? I get naming the kid after that Charlie but when someone else you are close to is considered an evil horrible person.... it just seems odd, that's all.

[goodcents]

no i don't think it is wierd. they call the boy charlie, not charles. and love conquers evil remember? :

Yea -- I see what you are saying. I would have a problem in real life in that same situation.

[holyhelianthus]

His name is CHARLIE not CHARLES.

We had an uncle in our family that molested a lot of the girls and because of that his name (Johnny) has negative feelings with it. But I have considered the name Jonathan before and don't get the "ickies" with it.

[Starr]

Here is my theory, Remember in the one beginning episode it shows the main Dr. Darhma the one who speaks on the tapes.. And he was giving a bottle to his baby. I think Miles is his son.

Also I think the older lady with the grey hair that we saw, can't remember her name... i think she is Faraday's mother. And didn't we see her in a scene with Desmond at an Antique shop? Like 1 or 2 seasons ago. She said something to him then and I can not remember what it was.

I think the one lady who made the comment and Daniel not staying away, Didn't we see in a flashback that Daniel had been on the island before when they were drilling and came across the turn time thing. I think she knows him from then.

I so see Sawyer and Juliet hooking up, probably right about the time the survivors come back.

I heard from an interview with the writers they said this year marks a turning point for LOST in that instead of getting more questions we will be few little pieces of answers. So for me its been a great few episodes because you really start to piece things together.

[holyhelianthus]

I have been getting this vibe as well.

What is up with he and Jack having the same taste in women?

The older woman is Eloise Hawking. She told Des not to buy the engagement ring for Penny, that it was not his fate.

I don't think Ellie, the Other with the gun, knows Daniel, but just thinks he is with the US army, which had just been there and left the bomb.

So, back to my question about Charlotte and the time sickness. I think Daniel is letting her die, knows she has to. Perhaps history has been changed and Charlotte is being erased? But why?

I don't feel like I got any answers this week, just more headaches.

[holyhelianthus]

Why is Charlotte the only one effected or the first effected?

I believe the drilling took place with dharma group and so that would have been later in time. Like the 60s or 70s. The scene with daniel and that woman was in the 50s. So its not likely that that is how she remembers him.

[beansricerevolt]

I wonder if Russo's mates that died from "the sickness" experienced time travel and that is how they all died, like Charlotte.
