Well I just watched Jughead...another decent episode....better then Expose LOL
Did you guys honestly NOT see the Widmore being an "Other" angle back in The Shape of Things to Come? Seriously, it was pretty obvious. There is also speculation that he may have turned the FDW and that is why he cannot get back. However, I don't necessarily prescribe to that idea.
Nestor Carbonell has that guyliner look in everything he is in. I think it is just something with his features. He doesn't specifically wear guyliner for just this show. Now perhaps he could be tied into the supposed Egyptian theme, however I hope it doesn't go that way...I'm not too keen on the whole Egyptian theory or the Atlantis theory...but that's just me.
One thing I did enjoy about this episode was seeing John Locke back in action...even though he did look like he was about to cry when Richard didn't recognize him...even though Richard TOLD him he wouldn't. Good move with the Jacob line too, John! And I like how we found out it was John himself that sent Richard to 1956 to witness his birth...which would lead Richard to want to recruit him, hence his follow-on visits to John during his childhood.
As to Ben and Widmore? Here's my theory. Since Widmore is on the Island in 1954 and supposedly leaves the Island sometime after the 1980s (1980 is the time stamp for the Dharma videos) I imagine Charles Widmore is in fact the father of Annie...Ben's childhood girlfriend. Ben gets Annie pregnant out of wedlock and Charles takes Annie off the Island to get her away from Ben...or she dies during childbirth (The Island punishing her and Ben for getting pregnant) and Charles leaves because he has lost faith in the Island to save his daughter. I am in NO WAY saying Penny is Annie...just that Annie could be a previous daughter of Widmore. Of course there are loopholes...like why would Charles want to get back to an Island that took his daughter...so I'm not 100% convinced.
I've been convinced that Juliet is still an Other...and when she walked behind Sawyer with the machete I half expected her to put the blade to his neck. I still don't trust her completely...she may still be working for Ben.
