Teri, I think the actor who played a young Widmore was actually the same actor, they put a lot of make up on him and a wig! Why on earth would he want Ben to kill Russo's baby??? There certainly are a lot of Godly overtones with thsi show. A couple of weeks ago I watched the last episode of Life on Mars, and the ending was a total surprise, the clues were all there, we just didn't look for them. That is what is happening with Lost. Yes, John almost seemed angelic to me. But are they in the present time or the past? When they saw the photo of Jack, Sawyer and company and saw them wearing the Darhma clothing, and when the photo was taken, Bed really seemed surprised, but then I don't trust him. I'm glad that he has to answer to John now.
