"In other words, he's Biff from Back to the Future 2."

Heartbreaking. Simply brilliant. Last night's ep. was great. Less Kate, more Desmond! I want more of Kierst--er, Penny's--dad, too. What's up with the Black Rock ledger? Why did Mr. Widmore want it? Will it help him locate the ship, which presumably is on the island, even tho it's 1996? Did he send Desmond there? What about Faraday? Is Desmond his constant b/c his visit in 1996 meant so much to Faraday? Ben!--what is that guy's story?!?! And where it hell is Michael? For a peek at some theories, check out Doc Jensen's column.
