Old woman = Faraday's mom Ms. Hawking. = The same woman that was at the jewelery store where Desmond bought the ring.
I believe Widmore is on the boat with Desmond.
Aaron is still young so someone has to bring him. Walt also needs to be brought back. If he doesnt have some big ass role in this i will be pissed.
normally I am good with all the characters, but my brain is fried this week.
Yeah I was proposing the idea that someone would be bringing him, someone who knows his potential role. We haven't seen or heard from Widmore, Desmond, Penny, or Ms Hawking.
I keep hoping they will have some kind of crazy twist to bring back Faraday. I don't care how insane such a twist is, I demand him to be back. He was helping make the sciency part of the show so damn interesting.
Between that family, their experiments if you will, and that half-comatose chick, I demand resolution on that front. Alas, we probably won't get it.
They did hint that a while a lot of the show will find resolution, they said there will ultimately be a few "loose ends." What I couldn't determine from that one interview, is if those loose ends will be on purpose (someone mentioned future media could serve to answer any remaining questions), or just as a nature of what the show is. Sometimes fiction has certain fictional elements that have to be "accepted" without some convoluted explanation. If they don't answer some things, I'd at least enjoy a few little "hints" that could let us continually debate little concepts like so many movies draw out from fans.
