Jewelry store lady is with Ben, then--so it's the Others side that wanted Desmond to not think he could change history (so he wouldn't stop Charlie from revealing the island's location, though! This is confusion. Or perhaps that was unintended, and it was instead to stop him from stabilizing things when Farraday approached him for help?).

Widmore seems connected to the Dharma Initiative, too, since he'd been looking for the island for c. 20 years according to Miles--Ben wiped out the Initiative, presumably on Jacob's orders, about twenty years before 2004. Either Widmore's behind it or had a spy there then or something.

i'm pretty new to all of it, but i recently watched all four seasons within a period of 7 weeks so...

i like the parallel characters, the various sets - mr. eko vs. locke (for one), and now i'm thinking daniel+his mum vs. penny+her da...

a little bit sick with it all. glad to know i'm not the only one... started reading some of the book list recently...

ben and widmore worked together, but i don't think widmore is [wholly] in on the dharma because he doesn't seem to have been there and ben's already been...

desmond is becoming more and more important which means, i fear, that penny is going to die...

maybe i don't know what i'm talking about - people have been discussing this for years so...

The books they reference? 3rd Policeman, Our Mutual Friend etc.?

Yeah, it's pretty intolerable when a character's love interest is dead/injured/threatened and they go mad with rage. Very cheap way to create dramatic intensity, and they've already used it, what, fifty plus times on the show. She has next to no personality -past- belovability so they might not think twice about it, too--though she might be saved by her role? Penelope/safe harbor at last.
