Lost Theories, Tidbits & Other Crazy Shit

Observations from various sources...

So Charles Widmore was an original "Other" over 50 years ago. After the flash, they buried the Hydrogen bomb as recommended by Daniel, and that's how Widmore discovered the power of the island. The buried Hydrogen bomb is the source of the mysterious energy of the island. Faraday's visit also introduced Richard to time travel. I don't think he knew anything about that before meeting Daniel and Locke in 1954. It also introduced Widmore to Faraday, so he could find him many years later and fund his research. I think my brain is melting...


My guess is that because of Locke's story to Richard in 1954, Richard started to believe that Locke was their true leader. Then along come the snooty young wippersnapper Charles WIdmore thinking he would be the leader someday, but with Richard focused on Locke, Widmore is pushed aside. He gets angry, does something stupid, like maybe contact the Dharma Initiative to come to the island, and as a result is booted off.


As we all try and chase the mice running inside our heads...are we reaching a point where we should be thinking that 1) yes, Mrs. Hawking is clearly Dan's mom AND 2) Widmore is his dad???
Both british, both clearly involved with the island, approximate same age (right?). Widmore is funding Dan's research and has been for some time. And of course, Dan is on Widmore's boat looking for the island. Hmmm...
- If that is the case, then Penny and Dan are at least step siblings, which would also make Dan and Desmond bro's-in-law. Hmmm...
- is that why in Dan's journal he had written that Desmond would be his constant??? or was that just from the memory of Desmind's previous visit to Oxford???


Not sure if anyone mentioned this but the unhelpful woman working the desk at Oxford that Desmond talks to was an Oceanic Flight Attendant "Jenna" in Season One. She lets Hurley on the plane and he gives her a big hug. "Jenna" also helps Locke on the plane. Either Team Darlton is running out of extras or she works for Widmore!


Charlie had potentially been on the island in the past, at least there were subtle references to him being there…like when he had to play Good Vibrations on the keypad in the looking glass station and the lady said that the one who programmed it originally was a musician…it was all very suggestive that Charlie was the one that programmed it. WELL – here’s my thought…..
Penny and Desmond’s child, Charlie, isn’t named after Charlie. He IS Charlie and he’s going to end up on the island at some point in time before 815 crashed and he’s going to spend some time there and program the keypad. He'll somehow end up jumping through time (Charlie will inherit Desmond’s ability to jump around like that) and he will end up off the island and not remember being there, just like when Desmond kept jumping back and forth and he suddenly couldn’t remember which place was real and couldn’t remember the island. Only Charlie won't know about the need to have a constant so he won't remember.
