It has already been confirmed that Daniel Faraday's mother is Eloise Hawking and that Eloise and Ellie are the same person.

So, Eloise Hawking and Charles Widmore went off Island regularly, and probably helped initiate the Dharma Initiative. It fits together. The Island didn't want Widmore back. So, we can assume he (or both of them) already had intentions of exploiting the Island by allowing the DI to come.

When was it confirmed that Ellie and Eloise are the same person? Implied? Yeah. Confirmed? I don't recall that.

I remember it from one of the podcasts with Damon and Carlton. However, the following will suffice.

Alice Evans as younger Eloise Hawking

Denying it is pointless at this point. Ellie is short for Eloise.

I wasn't denying anything, I was asking for proof because nothing on the show has confirmed it, and as you've just shown, we still don't have it. Do note the source of the confirmation that I'm seeking (and that I know they're the same person).

No, he said he was exiled by Ben.

He told Locke that Ben fooled him into leaving the island:

"I was afraid Benjamin might fool you into leaving the island, as he fooled me."

He also mentioned being exiled, but I'm still digging around for the wheel portion.... maybe I'm recalling one of the theories posted here about it and it wasn't something stated on the show.

Edit: Yeah, I was mistaken. I can't find any mention of Widmore actually turning the wheel except for how he was fooled by Ben and the theory being that he, also, turned the wheel.

Yeah, I posted the Widmore-wheel theory awhile back. However, given we just found out how he was kicked off the Island, it's pretty much obvious he didn't lie about it.

So then, the likelihood of Faraday and Penny being more than just half siblings is pretty high, I think.

I don't know, I'm a bit torn on that bit. He claims to have been fooled by Ben, but we saw that he was exiled for something that could be proven, so it wouldn't appear that he was tricked. I'm probably reading too much into the words in their dialog.

I don't agree that Widmore started DI, he seems to believe in the island, if he believes in it, he knows that DI didn't stand a chance.

I'm leaning towards Eloise and Charles being cousins at the moment. Just a hunch, no evidence to back it up. But, they have to be related in someway from that scene in the camp in 1954, they had a close relationship.

He could have still been fooled by Ben. Keeping Charles on the Island would mean Ben couldn't lead and I think Richard told Ben about him becoming the next leader, like he did with Locke.

Locke had to kill his father and Ben had to kill Danielle. Neither of which is what Jacob wanted. But, rather something prove themselves.

Ben probably did have something more to do with Charles' exile, other than finding the proof that he "broke the rules". Charles mentions he was there to gloat, and Lost always shows the start of something and then the end. I'm sure the "middle" section will reveal Ben doing some shady things to make sure Charles gets exiled.

Just as they didn't continue from when Richard took Ben to the temple, and instead cut to him in that tent. They always leave out the juicy middles :shifty:

DI was started by two people from the University of Chicago and was funded by Hanso Foundation. However, I think Charles was involved in someways..

Couple of things that makes me think Widmore was in someways involved with DI:

- He was exiled off Island after 1992

- He's too rich to stage a plane crash from leaving the Island to start a company just after 1992

- So, he started the Widmore Industries well before 1992

- Ben saying "he made routine trips off Island", possibly indicating making loads of relationships with others off Island

- Some of these relationships might have been with Dharma Initiative

Widmore must have known, like Ben did with John, that he would be replaced by Ben.

It's an interesting theory to say the least, but to the last bit: he knew, I figured that that was established at the beginning of last night's episode when he spoke with Richard.

Audio/Video Podcast

Summary

* Desmond will be affected by his wound. His life may be in danger.

* Sun & Lapidus didn't shack up in Dharmaville

* We are not sure of the true nature of the new John Locke but Ben is probably really shaken up by seeing him alive. There's more to come about the "resurrection".

* They said they were pretty proud of "Some like it Hoth" because it gives a sense of comedy to Lost.

* After that be prepared for a rollercoaster of major events!

- Also they re-explain time travel laws on Lost and answer a bunch of questions like "what would you doing if you were Sawyer?".

after this stunning episode, I can only say that Ben is actually the good guy, just from this ep:

- he was "ordered" by Widmore to kill Rousseau, still he didn't and refused to kill a child.

- he refrained from killing Pen after her kid showed up.

Widmore seems a "terrible human being" as Ben himself qualified him.

Also, the emotions Ben showed in this ep are very strong. Loved this episode.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know

      By The Werewolf · Posted

      Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.

      Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
