[Maritime Q-Scout]

I don't see it being Sayid of the Future, as you can only time travel via consciousness not physically.

I think it's Michael, then again they could be pulling a Simpson's and have everything lead up to it being Michael, and it's really someone else (Jack's dad perhaps? John wouldn't know him, however it would be a shocker when explained "oh it's Jack's dad").

I think part of what the show is demonstrating is that there's good in everyone (see figures like Kate and Echo) and there's evil in everyone (see figures like Jack's dad, Mr. Widmore). That people have both sides to them, frankly I like the character development of it.

I can't wait to see how they tie everything together. What's neat is that Charlie's last words were "Not Penny's Boat" when in reality it is her boat, or at least the Widmore's.

I also like how they finally gave Ben a weakness, Juliette. It's leveradage, but really when and how can they exploit it?

What does John find out about Mr. Widmore? How much of it is "pieced together" and how much is "hard evidence" as Ben said that the file was a combination of both.
