widmore was definitely trying to protect the survivors. he still may have planted the C4, though, as a backup precaution for if smokey DID get through the candidates and found his way to the plane. of course it wouldn't kill smokey, but it would destroy his means of leaving.
also, with the sub blowed up, i'm not sure how anyone'll leave the island EXCEPT for the plane. and without frank... well, good luck.
...i mean, not that i necessarily think anyone is going to be leaving the island.
for reals?
i hope we get some plot moving forward, anyway. backstory's nice, but i don't want everything to stop.
