The Variable, Initial Reaction

Happy 100th episode, LOST!


Questions:
  • Did Eloise Hawking know that she would kill her son, Daniel?
  • Why would that need to happen? What exactly is Eloise's plan? To prevent Oceanic Flight 815 from crashing or to make sure that it all happens the same way it originally did?
  • Is Daniel Faraday really dead?
  • Who is Penny's mother?
  • What was Daniel Faraday doing in Ann Arbor?
  • So, now we can change the future? What exactly are the rules?
  • Can Radzinsky please kill himself already? If not, can someone do it for him?
  • When will Marvin Candle lose his arm?
  • How does Daniel know what's going to happen?
  • Was Daniel crying when he saw the Oceanic plane on the bottom of the ocean because he somehow remembers the island and the survivors?
  • How does Charles Widmore know that the real Oceanic Airlines plane crashed on the island?
  • Why doesn't he tell Daniel that he's his father?
  • How and when did Eloise get off the island?
  • What happened to "Whatever happened, happened?"
  • So, what exactly was the point of them all going back now?
  • Why did Eloise push everyone to go to the island when she knew what would happen?
  • Wouldn't she want to try to prevent it from happening so that Daniel wouldn't die?
  • Why did she send Desmond on his path to the island?
Notes:
  • So, Daniel Faraday gets shot by his own mother from the past, Eloise Hawking. Wow, really didn't see that one coming. How about putting that gun that you can't use down, Dan? That will probably make her not shoot you.
  • Eloise Hawking is officially the worst mother on LOST.
  • Penny, probably not a good idea to leave your kid, little Charlie, with someone you don't know at this point. After all, you are on the run from your evil father and an evil mastermind just shot your husband and then attempted to kill you in cold blood.
  • I really thought that Ms. Hawking or Charles Widmore was going to kidnap Charlie.
  • I'm guessing that Daniel isn't really dead, considering he still has to record the video to reconstitute the Dharma Initiative with Pierre Chang.
  • We finally find out how Daniel lost his memory. Probably not a good idea to zap your brain.
  • Now we know that Daniel Faraday and Penny are half brother and sister.
  • I'm a little sick of hearing about destiny. And by the way, Ms. Hawking, that's not what destiny means at all.
  • I really thought that the journal Dan's mother gives him was going to be full already.
  • Daniel Faraday can make time. Yes, yes he can.
  • The metronome was awesome.
  • Miles, just admit that Pierre Chang is your damn daddy already.
  • Juliet obviously gave them the code because Sawyer called Kate freckles and she felt threatened by Kate going with them. Lame.
  • The code to the fence is 141717. Not very complicated there, Dharma.
  • Now we officially know that Charles Widmore faked the plane crash. Finally. I'm sick of the speculation and guessing games. I just want to know if Widmore or Ben is the real evil one.
  • Can't they just get actors that actually have English accents? The accents on this show are so terrible sometimes. Granted, it was a child, and little Charlotte was dead-on otherwise, so I'll let it slide this time.
  • Daniel had the same gun that we later see Tom with.
  • I guess Jack had time to pack band-aids.
  • Now we know why The Swan was sealed the cement like Chernobyl, as Sayid stated.
  • I think blowing up the island is a bad idea. I don't like it.
  • I thought Ms. Hawking was going to tell Penny that Desmond had to go back to the island. I can't see what's in store for them next if they don't go back to the island.
  • Though, so glad that Desmond, Penny and Charlie are okay.
  • Charles Widmore said "He was my son too," about Daniel.
  • At first, I thought that Richard Alpert got shot.
  • I hope that Daniel isn't dead, but it would be kind of cheap if he's not. Who's going to explain time travel to me now?
I enjoyed this episode a lot, though it wasn't on the level of The Constant. I'm getting psyched for the end of this season. I hope it doesn't disappoint.
