And also needs to be cleared up. And who WAS her husband anyway?!<BR/><BR/>Good point about the girl's brother too, it would be very convenient if he was tipped off as to Desmond's location. "Oops, guess you're too messed up to be a monk, here go help this nice daughter of Widmore with her wine, etc." :-oCapcomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06841675195251354073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3643765087132963577.post-42735399299898868502009-02-26T17:47:00.000-08:002009-02-26T17:47:00.000-08:00Thanks for the comments.

She was always suspected of being a "Dharma recruiter" or similar, but it seems now entirely possible she was a Widmore employee. The whole thing with the confirmation of Abbadon messing in peoples lives seems to open that whole thing right up again.<BR/><BR/>The second thing is about Desmonds ex-fiancées brother tracking him down. I am wondering if he was given a tip when the time was considered right for Desmond to move on. Setting into motion the events that got him fired and led to the rest.<BR/><BR/>It seems the first decision Des ever made for himself was the one not to return to the island. But I suspect that one won't pan out for him!<BR/><BR/>I'm just picturing Des doing the Corleone speech now.

And it brings up many points about Des that I have wondered about, some of which are clarified by your knowledge of the UK that I don't have (e.g. soccer teams :-)<BR/><BR/>Desmond's predicament with the island still needing him reminds me of Michael Corleone in The Godfather saying, "I try to get out, but it keeps pulling me back in." :-)<BR/><BR/>Des is the one person that I would like to have the holes of his past story filled in, mainly for the reasons that you have listed here. Do you think that his time in the monestery was never meant to be forever, and that it was just a safe holding area for him to be kept in until they were ready to put him where he was needed? At which time he was succintly fired (I've always thought that the angry ex-brother-in-law at the door was kind of a lame excuse for letting Des go).<BR/><BR/>Who knows, perhaps even a strategically placed person in the army managed to put Desmond in whatever position it was that got him sent to the brig. And we still don't know THAT part of the story either! :-(Capcomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06841675195251354073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3643765087132963577.post-85492551219403859592009-02-26T16:45:00.000-08:002009-02-26T16:45:00.000-08:00Great bullet, Fenris!

Desmond even realizes this in the Lamp Post when he tries to warn Jack how they are being used. And remember, Desmond conveniently got that sailboat from Libby just when he needed one!mavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01159992386642158559noreply@blogger.com
