They seem to be implying that Desmond can either be in the sideways timeline, or the “real” timeline, but not both simultaneously, which makes him unique. “The only person known to have survived an electromagnetic event!” sounded really stupid IMO, by the way. An electromagnetic event? You could generate an EMP right next to me and the only thing that would happen is that my laptop would go dead. Cripes. ---

So, I think we can start to say that this sideways world is not the epilogue to the show. ---

I don’t like that they acted like it was a huge shock that Desmond and Widmore would be best buds in the ALT. And, since they are best buds, wouldn’t Desmond know about Widmore’s daughter? [Totally O.T.] Are y’all getting an ad for [allposters.com](http://allposters.com) at the top? Because, in another tab, I was searching for WW2 propaganda posters, and now an ad here is showing a bunch. Coincidene? Or creepily sophisticated ad targeting?[/OT] ---

apparently Widmore doesn’t have a daughter named Penney in this timeline Eloise is creepy - and she’s trying to keep Desmond away from Penney again… Daniel! need I say I’m loving this episode so far ---

I feel like an idiot for being so slow. OF COURSE it was Eloise as Mrs. Widmore. And OF COURSE it was Daniel as their son. ---

[OT] Now the WW2 propoganda poster ad is at the bottom. I feel like Desmond right now.[/OT] ---

Best episode of the season. So, perhaps these are flashbacks to how they got “everyone” back after the nuclear explosion? Perhaps the opening of all of them at the top of the well at the start of this season is the aftermath of Daniel, Desmond, and others undoing the bomb.
