Me, too. I loved the reveal of the Other as a young Charles Widmore. It was my favortie omg moment of the episode.

I think the Other girl, Ellie, is actually Daniel's mother who will be Ms. Hawking, the lady that wouldn't sell Desmond the ring, has similar powers, and is helping Ben track the Island.

I just realized and double checked that among the survivors, there's only 10 people left! Rose, Bernard, Sawyer, Juliet, Daniel, Charlotte, Miles, and the three red shirts. Then there's Locke, but he considers himself an Other. The first three episodes sure didn't hold back thinning the herd.

I agree, this season is great as it's going places.

Good theory about Elle being Mrs. Hawking. And yes, I'm pretty sure Mrs. Hawking is Daniel's Mother.

Doc Jensen at EW.com also counted and said there are ten (barely) Red Shirts left. Not everybody is with Sawyer or Daniel.

I'm pretty sure they will use the fact that they were separated to accommodate the actors who portray Rose and Bernard, for their other jobs in the theater circuit.

Sort of makes me wonder if some other Red Shirts will cross the ether and get names and screen time like Frogurt. But sucks for the ones that died after being on the series for years.

But with Widmore being an Other, makes me wonder if he was in line to succeed Richard. And man, can they please explain why Richard is older than dirt but looks 30? I do love how they used the plot point of the time skipping to continue to explore the history of the Others/the Island.

Bat-Manuel does not age. Aging is for ugly people.

I didn't like Hulk Vs. Wolverine too much either. Didn't mind the violence, it was more the lack of plot and only hinted at backstory (and non-ending) that bugged me. Deadpool was cool.

I enjoyed Hulk Vs. Thor, though. I loved seeing all the Asgardians animated, and even though I still don't think Thor has been properly interpreted in a cartoon (and thought he lost way too easily to Hulk), this was a good look at him. I liked Banner in it too.

[mattzimmer]

Oh yeah, I forgot about the non-ending. That bit too.

I hope Thor: Tales of Asgard is good. I also heard there might be a Thor animated series coming out. Is that true?

[90scartoonman]

Both Thor and Avengers are in the works, but I don't think they'll debut until 2011-2012. In fact, "in the works" may even be too strong a phrase.

[mattzimmer]

Cool. Thanks for the info. Tales of Asgard should be good though.
