Charlotte gives me teh hawt

WTF, are you serious!? I can't look at her face without thinking of this guy:

Ditto

sick burn

i was thinking the same thing the other night.

Bless you!

As for the post above yours: why were we subjected to a pic of Jack's scar before these?

Oh come on FatTony! Now that's all I'll ever see when she's on screen.

Why is everybody assuming Jack's line to Kate, "You're not even related to him." is him acknowledging to her, "I am, you're not."?

I took it simply as, "You're not." Jack doesn't have to know he's related in order to say what he said to her. If they both know then it definitely has added meaning, but either way the emphasis is on Kate not being related, not Jack's relation.

I disagree. In one of the flashforwards from an earlier episode, Jack seemed to not want anything to do with Aaron, possibly because he's living proof that his dad had an affair. Also, if neither Jack nor Kate knew that Aaron was Jack's nephew, Kate likely would have hit him back with "you're not related to him either," or something to that effect.

Regardless, I think it'd be an odd move by the writers to let the viewers know repeatedly that Claire is Jack's half-sister, only to never have Jack find out himself.

And I stand by my claim, Jack finding out the truth about his sister is what causes him to start looking for the island. In this episode he does not know. His father showing up starts his drinking, but finding out about Claire will be what puts him over the edge to the point we saw in TTLG.

I'm with this.

pretty sure he already knows and we will see him find it out on the island in the upcoming episodes.

If that was the case, why would he show up at Hurley's mental facility, twice, showing not one interest in going back? The only possible scenario would be Claire dying, and I don't see that happening as the main female cast has dwindled down.

true but we all know that changes.

I have admit I thought this episode was dull, it helped me fall asleep.

The only possible way Claire would give up her child (to get off the island or not) is if she's dead. I would find it hard to believe she wouldn't get a free pass off the island with Aaron unless she is indeed dead. Nobody would support Kate getting off the island ilo Claire to raise him.


Plus, do you really think the producers think that the female cast has dwindled down so Claire can't die?? They have a smoke monster and a time traveling secret back room.

Does Claire have to be dead? She's already wandered off without Aaron, as far as we know. She might be dead, she might be entranced, or she might just be batshit crazy.

Either way, Aaron's already alone and heading towards Kate via Sawyer.

I wonder if Sawyer ends up staying behind to try and find Claire? Because it seems obvious that he's going to meet up with Kate at some point to give her Aaron, so maybe they end up having to decide whether to leave or not sometime shorty after he gets back, and he can't leave Claire behind. But of course Jack's tone last week made it sound like Sawyer didn't want to leave, and I doubt if Jack would sound annoyed with Sawyer like he did if he stayed behind to find Claire.

Yep. Claire and Aaron are seperated now, and they certainly didn't kill Claire off screen. As I said earlier, The island is trying to prevent Jack from leaving by making him sick. The island's backup plan in case he makes it back to the real world is to hold Claire hostage, prompting Jack to want to return. The first part I mentioned, about Jack's sickness, was confirmed by the producers on Jimmy Kimmel's show.

Possible. Earlier I mentioned how I got the feeling that they have been turning Sawyer into a leader figure to taker over on-island when Jack leaves. Either Sawyer feels guilty about Claire or he is worried about being wanted for murder if he goes back.

The missing piece is why do certain people get left behind, such as Jin. It is possible that everyone "thinks" Claire is dead because she can't be found.

I tend to agree, but what of Locke then? Are we just assuming he's basically lost it and is beyond being a good leader at this point?

I think Locke is now known as the crazy guy to just about everyone. Remember all the losties who followed him are pretty much dead, except Sawyer, Claire and Hurley. We know Hurley will regret following him and Sawyer doesn't seem to want anything to do with him now. Chances are the beach camp will trust Sawyer more. Funny how things have changed since season one and two!
