Lost!

At least Lost is still weird.

IMHO it really hurts the show.

I can't say I disagree.

Now I'm just confused. WTF is up with all of he Charlies? I know the one on the island in the 1950s was young Charles Widmore but who is Penny and Desmond's Charlie? Which also makes me wonder who the crash survivor's Charlie really was (is) (and now I'm wondering about the chance meeting they had when Desmond was in London looking for Daniel).

I think Penny and Desmond named their son after Charlie, since Desmond was there during Charlie's sacrifice in the underwater station.

That's what I thought.

Fun to see Widmore on the Island of the Past.

I actually think what Ben does expression wise is good. My reasoning is that he's always in control and tries to maintain that appearance. When Hurley ran out to the police, he tried to maintain the look, but I think he did a good job of having just a tinge of panic in his expression - like he was trying to hide it and just couldn't quite do it.

Goatee dude told Desmond to go find his mom in Oxford. Maybe that's his mom?

I think Penny and Desmond named their Charlie after Charlie, who I believe was who he said he was.

I also don't think that the meeting between Desmond and Widmore in London was by chance... and I think we're going to see that Daniel's mother is the same woman who sold Desmond the engagement ring... and that she was in Oxford but is now in LA.

But it's also what makes him such a good villan. He freaks people out by having the uncomfortable lack of readable body language.

Kinda like a ZOMBIE!!

That's what I thought but now I'm wondering if maybe little Charlie will actually turn out to be big Charlie.

Coincidences just never end up being coincidences on Lost. And seemingly logical conclusions usually end up being anything but.

Isn't Desmond too young to be Charlie Guitar's Dad ?

In real time, yes. In Lost time...nope.
