L O S T 2/21

Something else to consider. Jack might not want to see the baby because he's afraid the baby will resemble Sawyer. This assumes Jack left the island at a different time than Kate & Aaron.

Also, Kate wants everyone to think Aaron is her child because otherwise it'd be obvious that someone else (the real mother) survived the crash.
 
Thanks for posting the link, great read. I check out a couple of different LOST podcasts that I think are great and filled with people calling in with their theories

the first thing i thought of when we found out Kate's "son" is Aaron was the episode from Season 1 (i think) when Claire is pregnant and putting the baby up for adoption - the psychic tells Claire that her baby is in danger and that she must raise this baby herself, no one else.

i think jack feels guilty about what happened to Claire - either dead or left on the island.

Obviously Aaron's a reminder of what Jack and the others did to get off the island, for whatever reason. Doesn't necessarily mean Claire is dead, but they definitely sold out in some way.

As for whether Jack would think the kid looked like Sawyer, I'm not sure why that would be an issue, since he obviously knows it's not Sawyer's child.

The thing I'm curious about now is what it is that's going to push Jack over the edge from a guilt standpoint, wondering if it's the death of the unnamed guy in the season finale last year, or if that was just icing on the cake. At this point he seems to be holding together with the exception of the Aaron thing.

The other thing is that the Locke meltdown looks to be in full swing. The interesting thing about Locke is that his whole life he seems to be the guy that is doomed to failure in some way or another, and I have a feeling that's going to be reflected in the fact that he's ultimately going to fail in whatever it is the island is trying to get him to do, and it's going to result in the survivors siding with Ben and turning their back on him.
 
Jack's whole testimony was a lie. They didn't land in the water.

Why would Kate go home with the 6 now that she knows the Freighter Folks know who she is. Maybe they promised not to turn her in?

I wonder if the Freighter Folks somehow blackmail Kate and Jack into taking Aaron.

Also, I wonder if Ben is actually behind the whole freighter and they work for him. I wondered if the $3.2M thing was all just a mind bend for Locke and Kate.

As always, the more the show makes me wonder, the better it gets.
 
Claire was at least 8 months pregnant at the time of the crash. Assuming that Kate claimed it was her biological baby, how do they convince the outside world of that?

Kate could say she was about 3, maybe 4, months pregnant and not showing yet at the time of the crash. They are at about 95 days on the island right now, meaning that Kate would still be pregnant. So I'm guessing either they stay on the island a lot longer (so the 4 or 5 month difference in the baby's age is not so noticeable) or the island's time lag is a lot longer than the 30 minutes in Farraday's expirement.
 
parker, remember the experiments they've been doing on the island with time lapse. I forget how much of a lapse it was, but consider that was only for a couple of minutes, then multiply that lapse by the time they've been on the island, and you're looking at a pretty substantial amount of time. That would indicate to me that they were on the island a lot longer than it seems. My guess is that they've actually been gone long enough for Kate to have presumably conceived on the island. I'm wondering whether people will be told that Jack is the father, or that it was the yet-unnamed survivor.
 
FYI: I believe it was in TV Guide that I read there will be a significant character's death in one of these upcoming episodes.

Also, I love those pop-ups they have when they repeat the previous week's episode before the new one.
 
Well, we're probably overthinking this, may just be inconsistent writing/photography, but the fact that the new guys had pics of Ben in the outside world says that he clearly has been spending some if not a lot of time off the island.
 
i don't think that time is moving linearly or exponentially faster than regular time. if it was, the few instances of communication with the outside world would have been really weird. charlie-penny, alpert with juliet's sister in miami reporting back to ben, etc.

it has something to do with electricity and magnetism (faraday) and the hatch blowing up. we've also been given the same clue twice: to leave the island, you have to stay on the right trajectory. the rocket didn't have that trajectory. also, cuse/lindelof have used the term time "bending" a few times when discussing the time issue. now, i don't know what about EM would cause time to bend, cause im not a physicist, but maybe one of those guys on the big bang thread could shed some light?
 
it takes cosmic gravitational forces (from stars, black holes, etc) to bend light & time. If that was on this island, then all life on it would be squished into spaghetti. I hope we're just dealing with a subtle, localized magnetic force that influences navigation coordinates in some way. Although I still might have a bit of trouble with that. In the meantime, I'm going to trust that whenever they do reveal it, they would have put quite a bit of thought and research into the effect, otherwise the collective fanbase would call b.s.
 
did anyone catch what the bearded man yelled at kate when she was being escorted into the courtroom. he seemed so out of place and they definitely edited him in for a reason.
 
Maybe I'm missing something.....but I dont think Kate gave birth to anybody's baby. She has a child - Aaron,
Claire's baby. She got off the island with him and the whereabouts of Claire are unknown. I dont get all of the pregnancy talk.
 
Did we ever find out what happened to the losties that were taken in the first couple of episodes by the others?
 
How sure are we that the boat and this new group of people are the ones that actually get the Oceanic 6 back to civilization? Have the writers mentioned that this, for sure, is the group that "rescues" them?

I feel like, since this is the first real possible rescue we're putting all our eggs in one basket. I wouldn't be surprised if something went terribly wrong and their ship sank or something...
 
Texas, they haven't, and their relationship with Ben, coupled with the fact that Saiid (sp?) is working with Ben once they get back, suggest to me that it's not the case. It's still not even clear to me how many parties are actually involved in this, there may be more than just the freighter people and the others.
 
Maybe there is a stronger connection between Aaron and Ben. They were both the only ones born on this island? All other pregnant women died...

Not sure if Ben was conceived on the island, since all the mothers die while giving birth or just before that?

just thinking out loud....
 
Given all this lapse in time stuff, here's something to chew on...Walt and Michael left on the boat provided by Ben (and b/c they were given a direct course to head out on they were probably picked up by the freighter). Walt comes back to the island somehow, but has aged significantly because of the time lapse! That's why he could be so much taller when he appears to Locke in last season's finale. Either that or he's been gobblin' a lot of mega man.
