I completely agree that i think the whole science vs faith thing is going to come up again,, and will be quite important this season.

I have a feeling that whatever huge ‘event’ is coming up, the war will be between one side who are trying to change/stop it (science) and the opposing side who believe its fate/supposed to happen (faith). I’m just thinking out loud.

Widmore and Hawking were both leaders at different times. And yes it is canon that Paik and Widmore are business buddies. Which makes me think that Widmore knew about Sun and the candidates thing long ago and chose to attach himself to thier families doings.

yeah completely agree daniel was the clever fellow who built the lamp-post when he went off island in ’74….he may have used the “paradox” that is – the journal!!

I know this sounds really naive or weak in sense of an arguement but i’ve got to disagree with you Cheifof16 simply due to the fact that Widmore was well aware of the ‘Lamp Post’ as he gave the details and location of it’s whereabouts to Desmond.

Great post though SF. I’ve got a feeling we might be looking back at Series 2′s ideas of different things being a social experiment and linking the whole Science/Religion and Facts/Faith debate.

Season 6 easily looking like some of the greatest television ever written.

Kimberley,

some good thoughts there, maybe Ben is the ‘inside man’. I was just reminded of the scene where Ben stopped Locke from hanging himself. As soon as John mentioned Miss Hawking Ben killed him, i wonder what that was all about?

Thought the same thing – and ‘the brilliant man’ who designed the Lamp Post was Daniel.

Good connections!

And along with that, if there is any sort of knowledge about what could potentially occur with Ben/MIB/Jacob, it is an interesting twist to the “greater good” idea…with Widmore being so anti-Ben, and then Hawking actually having a hand in helping Ben return to the island.

Just a random thought as “greater good” is so subjective at this point.

I just found this when researching Paik industries,

this is a Hanso corp phone message from the lost experience

‘You’ve reached the office of Dr. Thomas Werner Mittelwerk, Senior Vice President, CEO and Chief Technologist of the Hanso Foundation. I will be unreachable for the next three weeks. However, for those employees of Paik Heavy Industries and Widmore Corporation engaged in active projects, I will be continuously updating the confidential information line. Please refer to your project manual for hotline access instructions. Thank you, and, namaste’

i’m sure alot of you already knew about this and i’m a little slow.

It would seem theres some sort of billionaire boys club going on. Wonder what Paiks involvement is? Thats if this is canon anyway.
