R.I.P. Daniel....maybe.

Sawyer: "Is he still crazy?" Miles: "He's on a whole new level."

So, young Daniel can play the piano....and he plays it very well. However, evil "mum" says he must instead learn math, science, physics and all that other crap. Hmmm.....physics or chopsticks??? I'd take chopsticks any day of the week, thank you!! Poor Dan....just another member of LOST who has major parent issues.

Speaking of which.....Widmore is Daniel's dear old dad. So not only did "mum" send him to the island to meet his fate, but good ole' Charles sent him packing there too. Also, this scene solidified the fact that Charles did, in fact, plant the fake plane crash. The question I have with all of this is, why is Daniel having memory issues? Did he experiment with time travel and is having effects from it, like Desmond?? It seems this might be the case as he mentions trying the experiment on himself before trying it on his girlfriend/research assistant. In any case, Widmore and Ellie must have, at one time at least, loved each other enough to create Daniel. So many unanswered questions!!!

So, Daniel is trying to do what he previously said could not be done, which is change the past. He tells Chang that he is from the future, but we never get to see Chang's reaction to this or if he believed Daniel. However, in the preview for next week, it seems that people are being taken to the sub which makes me think that Chang did, to some degree, believe him and is in fact evacuating everyone off the island....but will they actually make it off???

Radzinsky Season 5 = Keamy Season 4. I can't stand Radzinsky. He is definitely the evil, Keamy-like character this season. Where is Sayid and his a$$-kicking skills when you need him??

Penny and Desmond are still my absolute favorite couple on this show. Thank you, LOST writers, for not letting Desmond die (at least for now). "I told ya Pen, I'll never leave ya again." {sigh}

This scene was so sweet....though a little creepy. Strange older man, talking to a pretty little girl whom he is in love with. Watch out Dan, Dharma Child Services may be watching you. Although, this is the whole reason Daniel is in fact trying to change things, so he can somehow save Charlotte. But how can he when.........

.....he's dead. Killed by his own mother. This scene was heartbreaking to see. Poor Dan, realizing only at the moment of his death, that his mother sent him to the island to die. Of course, there is still hope. They are, after all, on the island....which heals people.....saves people....resurects people. Maybe Daniel isn't gone just yet. Will this make his mom rethink the choices she has made?? I believe so. In the preview for next week, we see her helping Jack with Daniel's diary in hand, and she knows where the hydrogen bomb is. Maybe the past will, in fact, be changed. We will see.

Next week we start the season finale episodes. Next week's episode is Follow The Leader, whom it seems at long last is none other than John Locke. It's going to be an awesome 2 weeks!!! Can't wait, but then maybe I can since I will be having LOST withdrawal until next season. {tear}
