Sure seemed like she was talking about LE, didn't it? That was intended.

So it seems they are probably separate. Maybe.
I'm not entirely convinced that he isn't still some distant future version of our Jack who has been out and about devouring universes for eons, buuuut...
hrm
I don't like to speculate that Lord English is something totally external to what's been going on, especially since Scratch seems to have plans that involve Jack. Scratch is a First Guardian, so he works specifically to ensure that what is supposed to happen happens. If he's an agent of anybody, it's probably the Bilious Slick.
Like I said awhile back, this sort of seems like it could be the Bilious Slick creating his own satanic figure. Maybe consuming universes isn't quite the right way of looking at what Lord English does. Maybe it's more like taking them back, Rapture style.
It could be that the Bilious = Lord English then, but something about that seems wrong. All of a sudden, a lot of things don't really add up anymore. Then again, others do...
Edit: Keep in mind, Bilious Slick was never presented to us as his actual name.
