So this one is for AMY (evil grin). This was a theory that I gave on last nights “We Talk About LOST” podcast and we thought that our very own AMY would say WTF???

So here is is…….

LOST has been a lot about cycles. We can see this with the LOSTies flashing back to the 70’s to be in dharma to participate and cause the Incident and then also with Faraday being sent back to be killed by his own mother. But I believe that there is an even bigger cycle that has been going on in the show. The show may never come right out and say what this cycle is but I believe we now have enough evidence to identify this larger cycle.

Charles Widmore was born in sometime in the year 2005. His mother was Penelope Widmore and his father Desmond Hume. Desmond is then shot by Ben Linus in the year 2007 and sent to the hospital. A short time later we see that Widmore comes to the island to wage war against the MIB. He says that he has a secret package that will help to win the war. Out comes Desmond from the sub. Desmond is now on the island in 2007 without Penny or his son.

Penny goes looking for her father Widmore and Desmond and the island. She gets to the island but shows up in the wrong time with her son. They show up in the 1940’s or 50’s. Penny dies and her son Charlie grows up as a teenager on the island. Richard adopts him and takes him in. He takes his mother’s last name as Widmore and he becomes Charles Widmore. In the 1970’s a man comes walking into the other’s camp named Daniel Farraday and Eloise accidently shoots him. Eloise tells Charles later that Daniel is the baby that she is carrying. She helps the LOSTies detonate the bomb causing the incident that shoots them back to the year 2007. This information is vital to Widmore because when he is kicked off the island in the 1980’s because of him having a daughter, Penelope. He knows all sorts of information having a foreknowledge of history that occurred up to his birth. This is how he becomes a philanthropist and becomes wealthy.

His daughter grows up and begins to be involved with a young man named Desmond. Widmore cannot stand Desmond. It is not until Desmond disappears and shows up on the island that he begins to realize that Desmond was his father that they had gone looking for when he was just a boy. That is the reason that when Desmond comes back to the real world in 2004 Widmore is willing to protect him and tell him how to get back to the island. It is because Widmore knows that in order for him to ever get to the island in the first place Desmond has to be there to get his mother to go looking for him.
