so is the son named after grandpa or island brother?

Why is it LOST can pull off this multiple time-travel shit and make me hungry for more and with HEROES it makes me want to throw things at the screen?
I'm guessing character consistency, and that they sorta do seem to actually have a plan mapped out (PLEASE!). I hate to say it, but I think JJ's lack of involvement may have helped this show in the long run.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
they definitely have a plan. they had to explain it to the ABC execs.
I don't know if all elements of said plan will make sense, but they have a plan. this ain't x-files.

What, they're totally going to scrap the Others/Dharma/Black Oil and bring in the Super!Others. I kid. Ever since I read the relief on the writers/creators part that an end was in sight so they could tell the story they wanted to tell, rather than milking it indefinitely, my faith has been restored.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
that's so mean! but true.
yeah, and given the show's ratings, I hope they get to next year.

I think toddler Charles was named after Charlie - because he saved Desmond's life and facilitated the reunion with Penny.
Desmond centric episodes rock.
I had thought that Richard Alpert was on the Island since whenever the pirate ship was foundered there.. . but this episode makes me think he may have only been there since the 50s.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
no. I think he's been there longer than the 50s.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
He would have to be in no less than his 80s if he was there in the 50s -- I'm betting since the pirate ship, at least.
What makes me foam at the mouth this time (there's always at least one detail that makes me yell at the screen) was the reveal that the Others all learn Latin... when so far as I can recall, there's been no mention of that in all the past seasons and many many scenes we've had with the Others.

Our wings are not tired.
Richard is likely pretty ancient. He gets to leave the island from time to time. There was that stint as Batmanuel in the mid-90s. So he has the capacity for heroism. I'd like to hear his Latin.
Whidmore being an Other rocked. Latin as the secret language, not so much.
