Correct. She said she knew why he didn’t want to see the baby, and that until he got over that, there was “no me and you getting coffee” (or something close to that).
I was just speculating that Kate could still be pregnant even though she says she’s not. I certainly understood the implication that she had her period and therefore knew she wasn’t pregnant, however it just annoys me that she isn’t all bloaty can still wear nice panties and sleep all night without worrying about accidents. Apparently they have a really good supply of heavy duty Dharma tampons and Midol.
Anyway, I don’t buy the spec that Aaron could actually be a new Aaron that Kate had with Sawyer because Jack’s reaction when Kate invited him over was not jealousy and anger it was sadness and maybe guilt.
Someone upthread said that Kate probably wasn’t pregnant because she accepted some wine from Sawyer. I thought that, too, the first time I watched it, but the 2nd time, I noticed that Kate sipped maybe one drop of that wine. I’m not saying she is preggers, but I don’t think the wine scene tells us anything.
Anyway, assuming that the rescuers are Dharma, and assuming they had a hand in selecting who got off the Island, I wonder why they would want Aaron off, but not Claire. One would expect that Aaron would be one that they’d want to keep on The Island.
Or maybe something wrong with Aaron that can be rectified by him going back. Some people, myself included, got a vibe from that brief scene with Aaron that he might have some kind of mental condition. If Faraday had memory problems that the island is fixing, this could be a reason to brin Aaron back.
His mental condition looked to me like a normal kid who was groggy and waking up from a nap.
Minutia. That’s pretty much it. When I was younger I just watched whatever passed over my eyes. Then the internet and the Dope came along and Producers going online and bragging out their how tight their shows were and I started thinking “that airplane tail number must mean something” because I was lead to believe it did mean something. It doesn’t. TV show producers aren’t doing anything they haven’t always done. I got into trouble bitching about the new Battlestar Galactica because the producer went online and told me it was hard-core.
It wasn’t. It’s just a pretty story. Nothing new here. Gene Roddenberry did it 40 years ago.
I waste too much time thinking TV shows mean something they don’t. It’s eye-candy.
Why were Sawyer’s under-britches so white? That’s about how deep I go with Lost these days.
One problem: Sawyer has no reason to want to leave the island and has stated this to Kate.
Hum, I think Walt was actually Jacob. I also think the earlier instances of seeing dead people (Mr. Eko’s brother, Jack’s dad) were Jacob as well. I’m also starting to think that maybe Charlotte is Ben’s “man” on the boat. Stating the gender of the mole seems to dumb of mistake for Ben.
I really like the theory recently posted regarding Jack wanting to get back because no one but Claire is supposed to raise Aaron–interesting connection. Good memory back to S1 stpauler and Rich Mann.
Agreed. I thought it was a potential flash-forward: the path of Desmond’s flashes if they went ahead and made contact with the boat people, but that whatever ends up happening changes the future so what we end up with at the end of the show is a different future than the future we’re currently seeing. Now I think it’s only tied to Desmond’s flashes in the sense that we know time-travel is possible, but I still think Jack doesn’t end up a despondent drunk and that the “Oceanic 6” storyline will be altered by hopping back in time, something they’re all terrified to do. “We have to go back.” “We’re not going back!” means back in time, as well as back to a place.
Except that Jack doesn’t know that.
Regarding Taller Waaaalllltttt!
It is possible that Walt can time travel like Desmond did and that is why we are seeing an older, taller Walt.
Aside from the actual explanation that the actor had a growth spurt.
OK, that’s it. Someone explain what is the meaning behind Walt being referred to as Waaaaalt.
Seriously, right frigging now.
It’s an annoying Dope-ism. His dad used to yell “waaaaalt” alot, and people thought it was cool.
Not even a real dopeism. Most of the silly nicknames are from TWOP, where they love that sort of thing. Here- not so much.
I guess I figured it was because he yelled his name a couple times but seriously, hearing someone squall is annoying in person and remarkably similarly annoying in text. Even if it’s an awesome running gag. Gah!
We don’t know what he does and doesn’t know at the time of his FF. You’re probably right that he doesn’t know the exact details of why Aaron is special or even that he is, but it’s clear that something’s happened to Jack since Kate’s and Hugo’s FFs that’s changed his mind about going back. It’s also turned him into a suicidal drunk. It seems plausible that he feels “something” is wrong with how their little island adventure played out, and that “something” could be Aaron.
I don’t think it has to be anything more than that they know they left a bunch of people on the island, and they can’t talk about that to anyone. Note that Jack said they crashed on a “deserted island” in his testimony at Kate’s trial, so they can’t talk about The Others and all they went thru. Now, I suspect they had to make some type of devil’s bargain to get off the island, too, so that would be more than enough to account for a build-up of guilt.
I’m not saying you’re wrong about Aaron-- you could be right. But the simpler explanation is just that they abandoned a bunch of people and it’s eating way at him.
In the most recent video podcast, they make clear that Kate’s Aaron is Claire’s Aaron.
Change the spacing. It could be…
Was she? I think it was implied that he may have been leaning in that direction but she was pretty adamant to the Marshall at one point that “he never touched me”. Its pretty obvious that he was abusive to her mother but I don’t know that there is any evidence that he ever did anything to Kate (besides act like a drunken jerk).
Locke has always wanted to “belong” and to be important. He thinks he is in that position here but it could be that the Island and Jacob are just using him, just like his father did.
I’ve been thinking about Miles. I’m not a psychologist, but I suspect that Miles is a sociopath. His ability to relate to people is practically nil, and he totally objectified Naomi when he was asked if he was sorry she was dead. If one of the Boaties is going to do something totally heartless and reprehensible, it’s going to be him.
He can’t be completely sociopathic. He felt at least a smidgen of guilt about robbing the mother of the dead son whose stash Miles pulled out of the wall. He spontaneously returned a $100 of it to her. That was a fraction of the total, so he’s still a thief. But the point is that he could have gotten away with all of it.
