I loved LOST last night... I always love the episodes that answer a bunch of questions, only to give us a whole new batch based on the answers.
SPOILERS

.Widmore an other? Crazy. Widmore funding Faraday's crazy research and the girl who Faraday experimented on? Crazy. Giant H-Bomb on the island? Crazy? The Others Vs. The US Army? Crazy. And now I'm more sure than ever that Juliette knows a LOT more about the others/island than she reveals.
When the episode started to show us Penny and Desmond, I kept getting the sinking feeling that something bad was going to happen - i was so relieved to see the kid was OK 3 years later... but then I was worried all over again that something is going to happen to them with how Widmore reacted to seeing Desmond. I forgot until that moment in the office that Ben told Widmore that he was going after Penny... and now they are apparently headed to LA (where Ben is) to see Faraday's mom (who may or may not be the crazy Hawking lady working with Ben).
And speaking of the Hawking lady, in the pop-up repeat episode last night, we learned that Hawking's first name is "Eloise" (the same name as his time-travveling rat, lol). Then, in the new episode, the fiesty girl who takes Faraday to the bomb... Richard called her "Ellie". Is she a young Eloise Hawking? And if Eloise Hawking is indeed Daniel's mom, then that means that he just met his own mom in the past.


Next Wednesday can't come fast enough...
