  • More on Jughead:

    “Jughead” appears to be a Mark 17, EC16 cryogenic bomb. Weighing in at over ten tons, the Mark 17 was the heaviest U.S. nuclear weapon ever built. It could only be carried by the B-52. It also had the second highest yield of any U.S. weapon. [Lostpedia]

  • “If you watched the repeat of 5×02 tonight, at the end when Ms. Hawking is shown, the popup message at the bottom of the screen identifies her as Eloise Hawking. This is the first time we’ve been given her first name.” [Sledgeweb]

    I’d say that pretty much confirms “Ellie” is Ms. Hawking is Faraday’s mama, don’t you think? The rat Faraday sent through his maze, incidentally, was named Eloise. Yes, this means MS. HAWKING CAN TRANSFORM HERSELF INTO SMALL MAMMALS!!! Hm. I’m not sure Daniel having named his rat after his mother is a sign of respect or disdain.

I’d give this recap a C+. We here at The Wayward Cynic will strive to do better next week. With the economy the way it is, recent layoffs have resulted in ten fewer chimps to randomly generate these reports by way of typewriter. Apologies and g’night!

  1. Haha, Yes! You can never go wrong throwing in a chimp or two (or ten) to set things straight. In fact, this is probably the answer to it all!

    Excellent work Jeff!

  2. “I’d say that pretty much confirms “Ellie” is Ms. Hawking is Faraday’s mama, don’t you think?”

    When Faraday was walking out with Ellie to the Hydrogen Bomb, Ellie told him to stop looking at her. Faraday then told her that she looks so much like someone I used to know. Another indication that Ellie is Faraday’s mother???

  3. Another thought…Is Locke going by the name Bentham because he just met Widmore in the past and he would remember meeting him in the future???

  4. 2. Archie comics, were in fact, “in” and well read in the day. 3. Since the island can “move”, might it not be likely that it was originally in the Mediterranean? and therefore the big toe thing? Likewise, that might make Ben’s “landing” in Tunisia more plausible.4.Great recap!I’m starting to think we should take bets on who are the “good guys” and who are the “bad”. My money right now is actually on Widmore being a “good guy”.

  5. Great recap Jeff! I will enjoy reading them all season. The first episodes have made my head spin with all the time travel, but it’s fun. I’m pretty sure that Ellie is Faraday’s mom… Time will tell!
