"Lost": Is It Tripping You Out?

Because I’ve been keeping busy with other stuff, I just got around to watching this week’s “Lost”…

WOAH! Talk about trippy.

But we did learn a few things during the hour, so let’s recap…

Warning: If you have not yet seen the January 28th episode of “Lost,” stop reading now…

Charles Widmore funded Daniel Faraday’s time travel experiments. And apparently those experiments led to a woman’s sickness. Widmore is paying for the woman’s care…

Charles Widmore was on the island in 1954, along with the Others. Of course, that included Richard Alpert, who Juliet said has always been there and is “old”…

A young woman on the island reminds Daniel of someone he once knew—presumably the ill woman…

The U.S. military brought a hydrogen bomb to the island in the 50s…

But since this is “Lost,” anything we learn leads to even more questions…

Is the young woman on the island the ill woman or are they just related? If she is the woman on the island, did she and Widmore have some kind of connection? Am I the only one that thinks she looks like Penny?...

John invited Richard to visit him after he was born (two years later). Is that why Richard came to see him and did the test? Was that compass one of the items in the test (I can’t remember.)?...

And did Charlotte really die before Daniel got to plant one on her?...

If I’m watching the previews correctly, then it looks like the present Losties are going to meet up with the past Losties since Sawyer said he saw Kate.

Hey, maybe my time travel knowledge from “Back to the Future” will come in handy after all…

Your thoughts on this extra-trippy season so far?...
