Lost is back!

[RStar]

Yes, Ben was born off the side of a highway, not on the island. Ben's dad then got a job on the island with the Darma people and he and Ben moved there. That's when Bens dad got his shirt that said "workman" and he said that he "didn't join up to just be a workman".

RE: the time warp - I recall Ben telling the pilot to stay on the same course when he flew out. That could mean they got "Lucky" and found an avenue in? Maybe the warp is what caused the plane crash in the first place.

I can't believe I've been sucked into Lost. Damnit!

That was my thought also.

I think the 180 minute timer hatch machine kept the phase shift off by a set and stable amount (most likely a portion of a second), thereby keeping the island and the Darma people (and their experiments) off anyone's radar. The hatch explosion and the equipment keeping it regulated, may have caused the time shift to enlarge. They said it would "save the world" to keep pressing the button every 180 minutes. Well, the world hasn't ended, but can it still be in danger? Can the time bubble not only be expanding by time (now at 31 minutes) but also be spreading outward to eventually reach the rest of the globe?

Anyone else remember the old time music Sayid and Hurley picked up either last season or the season before?

Yes, I had forgotten that!

And good points, Bill!

If they created something to time shift, perhaps they figured out a way to comunicate through it. This sure keeps ones mind going, doesn't it?

[scaeagles]

OK....that opens a can of worms, eh?

I guess Aaron is one of the Oceanic 6? Perhaps he doesn't count. Regardless, this makes me wonder.....did Claire voluntarily give up Aaron? Doubt that. It Claire dead? Perhaps. Did Kate kidnap Aaron? Maybe, but if so, why?

Or, perhaps, the child is hers (though he's awefully big) and she named him after Aaron? The only reason I suggest that is because Jack obviously has issues with the boy, but I don't really think that's the case.

Is this the person Kate referred to in the season finally when she said "He'll be wondering where I am."?

Perhaps something happened to Claire that Jack couldn't prevent so he doesn't want to see Aaron.

CLAIRE!! Noooooo!!!


I love that this show still manages to shock and horrify me

Is the time rift large enough that the helicopter could disappear for a day? Did they land elsewhere? They can't be dead, Sayiid lives, and of course the helicopter has to rescue 6 of them.

Locke is losing it, big time.

I didn't listen to Jack's courtroom story too closely after the first part, need to go back for that.

[Pirate Bill]

As soon as the lawyer mentioned that he wanted to use Kate's "son" as a character witness I knew that it was Aaron. That made the final payoff a little more delicious.

Jack's statement was that the plane crashed in the water with 8 survivors and Kate was the hero, pulling people out of the water and giving first aid.

My theory is that in this fabricated story Claire was one of the 8, but she died during childbirth and Kate adopted Aaron. I wonder who the other dead survivor is though. And I don't think Aaron is counted as one of the Oceanic 6.

Ben was born in a wooded area 32 miles outside of Portland. I'm thinking the Gorge - near Multnomah Falls.

A few thoughts...

The celebrity status of the "Oceanic 6" - there was obviously a great deal of publicity surrounding their return from the island. Everyone knows who they are. Their story has been told. Or has it?

Jack's testimony at Kate's trial is a cover story. A well rehearsed cover story that the "6" would have to have agreed on and stuck to: the water landing, eight survivors, two of whom died...

Why?

The rest of the group? "Are they still alive?" They've disappeared - the phantom antagonist doesn't know their fate - they are dead (doubtful) or very, very well hidden.

Again, why?

The funeral in Jack's flash forward was unattended and ignored, with only a small obit in the paper. This was not one of the "6" (celebrity status, remember?) But it was someone secretly connected with the island.

And let's not forget Claire's back story. Aaron is possibly the antichrist. Claire is either dead, gave him up voluntarily, or he was taken from her.

I think there's only one thing we know for sure.

Something happens.

Lost Lake is almost exactly 32 miles from the very edge of Portland's city limits--as the crow flies.

I agree.....can't be one of the 6. It must either be Ben or Micheal imho.

Yes, I got the impression that Jack wasn't merely "uncomfortable" with seeing Aaron but almost scared to.......could Aaron be the "IT" that Hurley refers to during the game of horse? Was Kate not wanting her mom to see Aaron more about protecting her mom than it was about protecting the baby?
