So is Richard somehow traveling in time if he is not aging? It's very odd that he doesn't believe Locke when he tells Richard about time travel. Maybe his agelessness is unrelated to time travel but it would seem those two have something to do with each other.

Some gripes.
This episode was pretty mind blowing. The only thing O have to gripe about is the whole ambiguity between flash forwards and the island's "present" (what ever that is). Also I miss the centricity on one or two characters, which this episode kinda lacked. I was disappointed in the "three years earlier"…

It's really quite unfortunate that such an original and brilliant show is put to the wayside for the ways of Homeland Security: USA and True Beauty. They can't really expect shows like that to do better than the brilliance of Pushing Daises and one Olive Snook

Emotional Back Story
After I heard Suede's grandfather's story I was sure he was either gonna win or lose. Seeing by what he was working on I thought for sure he would be out. What a disappointment. Also a disappointment, Heidi didn't say auchfwiedezen (spelling?) which totally weirded me out.

shoulda been outlicious
Ugh i can't believe the cut Kelli over Blayne. I think the producers kept him in so that there was characters in the show. Also I wasn't so hot over Keith's dress. It was too generic and has been done before. I think Stella/ Jerrell should have won. I am growing quite fond of Stella.
