Lost Untangled: Whatever Happened, Happened (April Fool?)

Hereโ€™s the latest installment of Lost Untangled, entertaining as always.

Perhaps the most interesting clue in tonightโ€™s episode [Spoiler Alert] was the reference to Charles and Ellie still being on the island at this stage, among the Others in a leadership position, although Richard Alpert says he doesnโ€™t answer to them. I had always assumed that Charles Widmore was behind the Dharma Initative all along, and that is still possible, although perhaps it is more likely that his family is involved (perhaps his โ€œbad twinโ€?). But even more likely, perhaps, is that Charles Widmore collaborates with the Hanso Foundation and other Dharma Initative sponsors after being tricked into leaving the island, as he seeks to find a way to get it back.

Presumably the temple will do to Ben what it did to Rousseauโ€™s companions? I found the reference to a loss of innocence interesting. There have occasionally been hints of โ€œEdenโ€ in discussion of the show, and just recently I found myself wondering whether we have not been given an important clue that Desmond is โ€œAdamโ€, since heโ€™s the only character weโ€™ve encountered running around paradise nakedโ€ฆ
