So...Penny. Dead or alive? I'm hoping we at least get a flashback because that was one HELL of a fight she put up, if she and Ben went one-on-one. Perhaps Desmond was involved, too.

If she's dead...and I'm assuming she is...poor Desmond. Then again, Ben looked pretty damn whipped. Hmm.

I wonder how pissed Jin is going to be when he sees Sun. No baby Sun.

I'm guessing Baby Sun and Baby Claire are somewhere being toddlers together, but who knows?

Oh yeah, messed up Ben. Hmm. Was Desmond in the cargo hold or something?

With Baby Desmond, maybe. It's like there's a LOST orphanage somewhere.

Did I totally miss where they said Penny beat the crap out of Ben?

Also, they have been time traveling all over, and no one else has reverted in their age. What makes you think that Sun, Claire and Desmond would? Or are you referring to their kids?

No, that's my assumption. Ben told the gang that he had a promise to fulfill. (Presumably that refers to when Ben promised Widmore that he would kill Widmore's daughter (Penny), in retaliation for Widmore killing Ben's.) Penny was safe so long as she couldn't be found, but Desmond showing up would alert Ben to her whereabouts; he'd simply have to find the right dock.

So...I assume he found her and killed her. Though it looks like she (or Desmond, or both) put up quite the fight.

And, I'm talking about their kids. Sun left her baby behind. Kate left Aaron. I am guessing that they kept the children together, but I'm possibly way wrong about that.

Excellent point re: Ben and Penny, Eliza

Oooo!!!!!!! I completely forgot about that promise. That makes complete sense.

Oh, that's who the pilot is! The chopper pilot, Frank! I thought I should know who that was, but didn't recognise him.

I'm loving the one-liners.

Last week "He's Korean, I'm from Encino"
This week "We're not going to Guam, are we?"

I hope they keep them up.

But that's only with people actually on the island. What happens if you time travel to the island?

I meant to point out earlier that Locke is an example of this...he is dead in the real world and alive on the island. Both places at one time (well, really 3 years apart, but time isn't moving at a parallel pace). Granted, the circumstances are different but I think it is clear that TPTB's version of "time" travel allows for a person to be in more than one reality (place and/or time). That's part of what I meant earlier when I wondered whether the Others who "left" the island (and then returned) didn't actually just inhabit 2 different realities at the same time.
