From Lostpedia

The whole paragraph under "Time on the Island" should be removed - Due to his relationship with Ben and the fact that Sun tells him that he isn't the only person to have left the Island, it is apparent that he at one time lived on the Island, but left it under unknown circumstances. ("There's No Place Like Home, Parts 2 & 3")

This is more a theory than any kind of fact and belongs on the Theories page. There is no fact of any kind that Widmore lived on the island, and his relationship to Ben and his discussion with Sun (she in facts says "we are not the only ones..." could mean any number of things, this making this part of the entry entirely speculative.

How do we know that Widmore labs make the DHARMA branded food ? Joesoap 14:13, 8 July 2006 (PDT)

It;s just posted in the theories section for now. I don't think we know that yet. --Admin 14:30, 8 July 2006 (PDT)

shouldn't theories have some basis in fact? these are just random made up guesses? where is there any evidence? Thunderous503

"Charles is of Old German origin, and its meaning is "free man". From "karl", similar to Old English "churl", meaning "man, serf"." And I always thought that "Frank" means "free man"... well, you learn everyday something new. - muellcraft 12:45 MEZ

No this isn't a theory. Sun told Widmore that she knew he lived on the Island at one point. This is not up for debate, it is a fact, although we do not know what he did there. Glen_Quagmire

Yes it is. All that Sun said to Widmore is that "As you know, we're not the only one's who left the Island" and that is completely ambiguous. Anyone ever consider that she was referring to Ben leaving the Island, or Desmond? There is absolutely no way you can call that fact. Deyve

It is heavily implied. Its like us saying we don't know where the polar bears came from since the haven't gone into details on the situation.

Unanswered questions

I've cleaned them up a bit. There are many questions that have been condensed into the simple "What is his connection to the Island and how much does he know about it?". I also removed some questions that were theories. With regards to questions over why he faked the crash and wanted the survivors killed, I believe that it can be safely assumed that it's because he wants control of the Island and wants to kept it secret.--TechNic|talk|conts 03:02, 26 April 2008 (PDT)

• But how could he have known where 815 crashed? The only people who knew where it crashed were survivors of the crash and those on the island. It's unreasonable to think he faked every plane crash site. He had to have known that search teams were not going to find this one. --Moo 16:14, 27 April 2008 (PDT)

Australian accent

What was up with his Australian accent in The Shape of Things to Come? Scarecrow 09:25, 27 April 2008 (PDT)

• It's not Australian. -- LOSTonthisdarnisland 09:32, 27 April 2008 (PDT)

Yes it is. Or close enough. Or, at the very least, not British. It's either a clue, or the actor (who is a Kiwi) slipping up. For the record, I'm an Australian myself, and Widmore's voice int hat episode sounded more Australian than Claire's. Scarecrow 05:50, 28 April 2008 (PDT)

He's right; it's not Australian, but he's also being obtuse. The actor is slipping into his native accent and he's a New Zealander. Bagpuss 07:38, 27 May 2008 (PDT)

Don't think you need to make a big deal about his accent. Yes, he may be originally from NZ but was a main character on Australian show "Neighbours" for more than 10 years. So he has slips into Aussie. I thought his UK accent was pretty good, but im not British. Kiwisteve.

The sink

This is an interesting thought I just had. Was Widmore's leaving the sink on more than just a careless accident? I'm not implying it had any great relevance to the story, but is it possible that leaving the sink for Desmond to turn off was asserting his dominance over Desmond? -- Sam  T  C  19:22, 20 July 2008 (PDT)
