1. Faraday has a gun because he has been around the others and knows what they would do to an unarmed Dharma Dude in their camp. The gun was to get them to listen.
2. Faraday has only said that he had a plan to try and stop the Swan Incident from happening. He never said that it would work, even if he carried it out. He may even prevent the energy from releasing right now, but who is to say that it would not get released at some point anyway. Until the Swan Incident is averted, this critique is premature. And maybe its the Swan Incident itself that was never supposed to happen, therefore Faraday and his plan are the course correction.
3. He did not have the english accent as a kid playing the piano either. That indicates to me that he learned to speak somewhere other than England. Although I think Widmore is Scottish?
Who is older, Penny or Faraday?

Yeah, I still recognize that the fallacies I see can be fixed, and it may even be part of the overall story when they realize they can't change things no matter how hard they try, or even if they do, the things they "change" from their perspective are actually what happened in the first place. But even so, what's the lesson there? What are we, as viewers, supposed to take away from that? If that's the overall arc of the show -- that you can't escape destiny no matter what you do -- it will seem like a colossal wasted opportunity, given how great the show has been in the past. It's not a bad story idea, but I was expecting a lot more from Lost.
Not sure who is older, though if there is an age difference I imagine it would be slight. Perhaps Eloise took him to the US and he grew up there, then attended college in England. But even then, if this "revelation" that he's Eloise/Charles son was planned, I can't help but think they would have clouded Daniel's last name and given him an accent just to put the clues out there. That would be consistent with every other mystery that has been "revealed" so far. The fact that there were no clues that Widmore is his father, up until the very episode in which it was revealed, makes it feel an awful lot like Heroes.

I think the message the audience would get is "You cant change the past, and even if you could, you would not want to anyway".
