Forgetful faraday

A thought on the cards Faraday was trying to predict:

I think he was trying to see into the future. As in, he was having Charlotte put the cards on the table WITHOUT him ever seeing them. Rather than memorizing them and telling her what they were, he is trying to peer into the future. Miles is able to commune with the dead and Faraday is fixated on the time/space issues...so I think what we saw of him tongiht was a continuation of his experiment with the clocks.
