Episode 503 - Jughead

Alright, so this week I'm actually set up. I'm on my laptop watching TV, so you're getting the play by play as I think of it, not just after the show's over. Here you go!

- Oooo, they are back in time w/ the young "others". I think that's really cool! Of course Richard is still the same age by whatever weird way that works which we still don't know. But I'm assuming that this is old enough that Ben isn't around yet, though we don't know yet. Locke seems to know when it is based on the gun, but got cut off. Hmmm...

- Interesting that Juliet knows that Richard will be there, even though its in the past.

- Locke thinks the others are "his people," huh? Wow, he's taking on the whole leadership role thing pretty seriously, even though its in the past.

- It's pretty convienient that the flashes/time shifts are not happening as quickly now, now that they need to spend more time with these people and gain more info. : )

- Anyone else notice the painting on the wall of Widmore's office? A polar bear. : )

- You gotta' love Sawyer's line "Aw, you told her?!" : )

- Oh my gosh!!! Charles Widmore was on the island in the 50s!! He WAS there way before Ben. So the question now is: is he a good guy? Does he actually have more right to be on the island than Ben? I would guess that they are both bad. Maybe they met when Ben met Richard and agreed to help the others take down the Dharma initiative. If that's the case, there's much more to their back story than we'll find out quickly.

- Oh, Desmond & Penny named their son Charlie. That's really cool. I also admire his committment to Penny, willing to give everything up for her, and Penny's understanding and willing to support him in his weird endevor.

- Hmm, I wonder what's gong on w/ Charlotte. Her blood thing came right after they "flashed" through time again. Obviously its tide to that somehow, but why her and not any of the rest of them I'm still baffled.

- I wonder if Daniel's mother is the creepy lady from Desmond's time experience and the one Ben consulted w/ the giant pendulum. Not sure, but I think it might be the case. It'd make sense, I guess. I could also be totally off base.

To sum it all up, I'm really enjoying this season. I'm not quite as jazzed as season 4, but it's still great and I'm enjoying the time travel aspects quite alot. Can't wait for next week!
