BTW, was that Faraday's mom that Ben was talking to near the end ("you have 70 hours")?

That was the owner of the jewelry store that Desmond visited when he was flashing back and forth in time after the hatch explosion in season 3 I believe. She is a key obviously in all of this because the whole time shfiting thing is clearly tied to her in some way and the island time shifting is going to be the main point of this whole show it looks like.

She was the one who told him he couldn't propose to Penny or something like that, right?

I think the main thing she told him was that you couldn't change the future because time has a way of correcting everything. I believe "course correction" was the phrase she used.

I think so...i guess the whole "you can't do it if it nevers happens" deal applies there. I hope they explore that notion and explain it well because it make no sense to me. Based on that notion, which Farraday was clear on, how in the heck was he able to talk to Desmond? It never happened so it couldn't. But it did then happen. Farraday must be from a different time or something so the rules on the island don't apply to him in the same fashion. My head hurts now. Anyways, what happens to Sawyer if Desmond answers the door? Or can it simply "NOT HAPPEN"? Like the universe will not allow it? Even though Desmond heard Sawyer banging on the door did the universe prevent Desmond from answering it? WTF?

Farraday did kind of explain it when was talking to Desmond. I think he told Desmond that he was special and unique, which was probably a result of turning the fail safe key. Remember, back on the boat with Penny Desmond said that it wasn't a dream but more like a memory.
It seems like some people, like Desmond, Farrady, the old woman, and possibly Richard Alpert are sort of immune to the effects of time skipping.

Wow, good pull.
