So I wonder if one of the "rules" stipulate that children cannot be part of the game. Or maybe they're more of a lophole than adults? Could explain why the children were taken to the temple. It could also explain some of the significance people place on Aaron.

It's not an alternate reality, Cuse/Lindy have said as much in several interviews.

Your wife is mistaken. 31 is Rutherford (Shannon), 55 is Burke (Juliet), 147 is Lewis (Charlotte), 313 is Littleton (Potentially Aaron, but could be Claire), 321 is Fernandez (Nikki), and there are few other incompletes that may be women.

Anyone else tired of the "mystery character" thing they do on this show where they show someone from behind (or from the side) for a few seconds and we only hear their voice and are clearly supposed to wonder who it is? Especially when it's always Ben? :D

Ben's voice is so distinctive, too. It was hilarious.

And on a seperate note, Sawyer is no dummy. I think he's playing smokie big time and working his greatest con of all time.

This is why I think they allowed (forced) Walt to leave. He had some perception of something going on and they had to remove him from the "game".

Or, he kept having massive growth spurts and no longer looked like a 12 year old kid. :D

Alternate, concurrent, etc. I don't care if the writers are coy about the name, but it's not on the island and it involves something different that what we've seen before. And if it hasn't hapepned on screen I don't necessarily believe everything they tell us. Before they said everything could be explained by science. I'm just waiting with baited breath to see them pull a rabbitt out of the science hat to explain smokey...

Yeah, I hope the kids with special powers* thing is something that is addressed before it all ends.

*that's another big Stephen King thing, come to think of it and it also ties into the Dark Tower.

Why would someone as lucky, wealthy, and large as Hurley be sitting in coach on an international flight?

Actually, this is a pretty interesting theory...I like it :)

And he's much larger than Kevin Smith. Oceanic must be more lenient than Southwest.

Nazi Germany was more lenient that Southwest Airlines.

Kevin Smith flies Southwest.


I don't think that Locke would have seen Hurley on the flight. He's in a wheelchair, so he was probably the first to board and we saw for a fact that he was the last to deplane.

:hscratch: If he was first on board and last to leave, wouldn't that point more to the argument that it was inevitable that he did see Hurley walk past him twice?

I never understood why they didnt just change actors. The audience would have adapted.

I agree with the Aaron statement. But I'm sticking with the kid being "little Jacob". Mainly since the kid also has blonde hair and speaks with MiB about the island rules. Other than that, no idea...

Maybe it's Jacob Jr.?

Or maybe there is a cycle that these characters repeat. I read somewhere that someone mentioned the Hawkman and how he and his wife were made to live their lives over and over again in different bodies but retaining all memories good and painful from previous lives. Maybe this is some incarnation of that.

And maybe the origin of the ash that is used to ward off the "bad guy"? What's-her-face picked up a bunch of it from the Jacob fire pit. Is it possible the origin of the ash is previous cycles of Jacob?
