soo I guess he isn't a "Faraday" in this timeline

No, he's a Widmore, fer a day.

He is the Son previously mentioned.
Maybe

Why are people's minds blown? I haven't seen or heard anything yet that is mind blowing in this episode. Yes, there is some bleeding over as most of suspected would happen and it appears that at least one person was aware that this would happen. Interesting? Yes! Mind blowing? Nope!

Don't we know that Daniel is Faraday's son in the main timeline?

Or is the reaction due to the idea that certain characters are aware of the sideways timeline?

Faraday is the son in the main timeline.

Seemed pretty obvious Widmore was talkin about Farraday earlier in the episode

Also, as we all hoped, the flash sideways are not reality.

Faraday is talking about Charlotte being his love at first sight.

La tee da.

Brilliant. Run a giant promo for V over one of the last episodes of an immensely popular show and, when everyone bitches, boast that V is the most talked about new show on television.

How do we know that?

It said "Imaginary timeline" in that notebook

This is a 2-hour episode right?

WAHT?!?!?

WHAAAAAAAAA

Well, how is what we're seeing imaginary? Why would there be bleeding into an imaginary timeline?

This changes SOME THINGS.

So other timeline Desmond want's to "wake" the others from their "dream"?

Son of a bitch, character spoiler in promo

WTF did I just watch?

And huge spoiler in the promo

I hate that there is only a handfull of eps left.

And Juliet is in an alternate reality where she's in a shitty show.
