Lost 2/21

[Theoldbenchwarmer]

Someone w/ Tivo (or better ears)....

Did Kate say Eric or Aaron??

and please don't scooby-do me.

 

[zebracoy]

Aaron.

Damn.

 

[Theoldbenchwarmer]

that's what I thought.

Holy ****

 

[Webster]

She said Eric.

Edit to add -- I looked on the TWOP forum and they report that the closed caption said Aaron.

 

[STLIrish]

Yeah, I thought I heard Aaron, too. And they kind of foreshadowed it in that scene earlier where she didn't want to pick Aaron up. But if so, how'd they get him off the island?

 

[schiezainc]

My guess is (and I don't read spoilers)...that Claire got injured, died, or was generally left on the island. I don't think that Kate would have just taken Aaron and the others would have been cool with it. Perhaps there were only six spots and Claire figured she'd at least try to save her kid and gave him to Kate to look after until the rest of the Losties were rescued.

I knew throughout the episode that it had to be Aaron. I never really bought into the whole "Kate-Saywer" kid angle and figured that for her to feel that special about a kid, special enough to just about agree to whatever kept her out of prison, it had to have been a child she had a deeper relationship with than just mother-son. I mean, i know giving birth isn't the easiest of options, but there just had to be a deeper connection. Hell, she wouldn't even let her mother see the kid.

As for the episode as a whole, who else thought that the whole Locke grinade bit was badass? I just about lost it when he told him "enjoy your breakfast". Then again, I'm no expert, but how long can you really expect to hang onto one of those in your mouth? If I were Miles, I'd have spit it out and tried to punt it out that glass window. Then again, with my luck I'd miss and just about get the words "Oh Sh--" before i exploded into bits.

Solid episode overall, can't wait to find out more.

Another good solid episode. I thought Kate said 'Eric' at the end. But I did notice that the child had blond hair, which first made me think it was Sawyer's. I also was wondering in Jack and Kate's meeting at the taxicab, what Kate meant by having 'him' meant not just having a cup of coffee. Maybe because the three of them would have a special connection?

And on a weird side note, and yes, I realize they're both Asians, why does a part of me think Miles is a relative of the Dharma guy (I forget his name) that was in the films at the hatch.

 

[mannheimadler]

I also thought she said Eric, but Aaron makes a lot more sense.

Now that begs the question of what happened to Claire. After all, according to Desmond she's supposed to get on a helicopter with Aaron.

 

[schiezainc]

That doesn't mean she makes it off safely.

Getting on a helicopter doesn't necessarily mean she will get off safely.

 

[zebracoy]

I had actually thought that when Jack accosted Kate outside the courtroom, she was going to say "You don't want to come over because you don't want to see your son."

I didn't buy that it was Sawyer's kid. But I certainly didn't expect that to happen.

 

[schiezainc]

I actually thought Sawyer was a goner at one point in this episode. Locke just had one of those looks, ya know?

As for the whole Kate/Jack thing, I'm interested to see what happens between their back of the courthouse encounter to the night outside the airport. Something had to set Jack off and make him desperately want to go back to the island, and i can only hope it's something like....

Jack: Kate, we have to go back!
Kate: Why Jack? Why?
Jack: Well, I kind of left my good socks in the hatch.

She could have gotten off the island safely, but not made it off the ship safely.

The thing I haven't been able to wrap my head around is this...
All season they've been referring to "The Oceanic Six," implying that only six of them made it off the island. But when Jack was testifying at Kate's trial, he said eight people survived the crash (we know that 48 actually survived). Now, obviously, the Oceanic Six are either covering for those who stayed on the island or covering up something horrible that happened during their rescue. Jack's conversation with Hurley at the asylum and Kate telling Jack, "The more you tell that story..." indicates they all got together and laid out a cover story.
But, if the world knows about the six survivors, who are the other two people that they're acknowledging survived? And why?
And is Aaron another of the Oceanic Six?

I think Jack mentioned in his testimony that two of the eight died of injuries after the crash, that Kate tried to help them, etc.
But, yeah, I don't see how Aaron could be one of the "six," since he obviously wasn't born when the crash supposedly took place. So how'd he get off the island? Ben, perhaps?

Unless Kate told people she was pregnant with Aaron at the time of the crash and passed him off as her own.

 

[Baron Scicluna]

So many possibilities

And there's 44 more episodes to hash it all out.

 

[redsox99]

Jack wanted absolutely nothing to do with Aaron. Could Aaron be Jack's father's child with Claire? But isn't there speculation that Claire and Jack are half-siblings (same dad)? How sick would that be. But there's something about the little boy Jack obviously doesn't want any part of.

 

[joe]

It's not speculation. Jack and Claire are brother and sister, as was shown in an episode last season or the season before. Claire had dark hair in that episode.

And I think the grenade isn't live. Just think Locke's ****ing with the dude to get him to talk. And, yeah, the guy looks like the Dharma dude from the films.

 

[zebracoy]

Another question:

Dharma wine in a box? How bad does that have to be? I'd imagine it would be like gasoline.
