So Ben has clearly known Mrs. Hawking this whole time. What does that mean?

And who were the people that attacked Sawyer and Juliet? They didn't have DHARMA patches and the didn't look like hostiles.

[ItsAKey]

i thought that they were wearing dharma jumpsuits? i dunno....

[You Lost Me]

I'm thinking they could be people that came in the future....I loved Locke saving the day, that was great....I wonder who Faraday's mother is going to be, my sister thought it might be Mrs Hawking ... i don't think though

[MagicBox]

Ms. Hawking is... even more perplexing than previously. She's looking more and more to be the 'referee' of this cosmic game between presumably Jacob and whatever opposition the island has...

[Cpt. Seth Norris]

I thought they looked more like regular Army. Do we know anyone named 'Jones'?

[Sayidfan33]

Well whoever those people were it seems to me they work or are associated with Charles Widmore because they echoed the same line Widmore said in TSOTTC. "That island is mine." or something like that

I agree with your sister YLM. She is the right age (presumably) to have a son my age, which Daniel is roughly.

I was not expecting her to work with Ben, I thought she was Widmore's gal. So that was disconcerting.

agreed, locke saving the day rocked. i think that though people could have been part of danielle's team.

and yeah it seems like she would be his mother. but she is a little old to be.

[You Locke It Up]
