Those words coming out of Danielles mouth are interesting to me. Because it explains alot of things about the Time Traveling in terms of what they were seeing. People speculated for a while about what the other people who weren't moving were seeing when the Flashes hit, and we now know that they just disappear. So imagine you are Eloise Hawking and you see a person come and say they are from fifty years in the future and then just up and disappear, gonna make you pretty interested in Time Travel huh? Same with Richard, of course he is gonna believe Locke if he sees this person come and tell him something and then up and vanish. I liked how the writers did that.

A few other things. Why if Widmore knows of Hawking, and knows of what she probably does ( the time traveling basement), then why doesn't he try and go back to the island himself. Something happened. Something had to make it so Widmore could never go back unless something was changed. And i think that something is what they are trying to do with Locke and the O6. Anyone else agree?
