    well as interesting as that theory is they did that in an episode of futurama (fry accidentally kills his grandfather, then accidentally has sex with his grandmother and becomes his own grandpa) and i think the fans would be a little grossed out by that. also wouldn't that mean penny has like 11 toes or something? haha

    I feel like clarifying for the ones that don't quite understand. Desmond and Penny had a child, they named him Charlie (another name for Charles). Let's assume he has Penny's last name (Widmore)... his full name would be Charles Widmore. Let's also assume that Desmond, Penny and Charlie return to the island in season 6. Time travel is a big part of the show, and the idea of all 3 going into the past doesn't seem far fetched. Now, to keep up with the timeline, they'd have to arrive in the early 1940's. When we see Charles Widmore in 1954 he is 17 years old. It's possible Desmond and Penny could be the two corpes that Jack and Kate find in Season 1 (Adam and Eve). Jack thinks they've been there 40-50 years (that's close enough to fit my theory). Later in his life, Charlie has a daughter, he names her Penelope. She is both his mother, and daughter. Charles Widmore is also his own grandfather. This "chicken and egg" scenario is one giant paradox, but how cool would it be if this was all planned in advanced by the producers?
