LOST 6.14 "The Candidate"

Has this happened before? Are the Losties dreaming about the ATL while they are on the Island?

That would be difficult for a few of them to do, considering that they are dead (and have been for a while in some cases, like Charlie and Locke…)

Saw that Julie Bowen was on Jimmy Kimmel last week so I tuned in to see if she’d drop any hints. It was a recent repeat, from late April or thereabouts. Jimmy asked her point blank if she was going back to Lost, and she said nope, not going back to Lost.

EDIT: Since I’m choosing to believe Bowen, I get to now make a guess about Jack’s ex-wife. If we see her, I think it’ll be Juliette’s sister.

That’s a nice Dark Horse guess! I doubt it will be as she would not be easily identified (I’m a diehard, and I doubt I would recall her face).

But since we are calling crazy shots, let me propose the mother of Jack’s child in the ATL is the mother of Sawyer’s baby in the regular timeline!

Not something that they’ll get into on the show, I’m sure, but what do you think the media is doing back on the mainland once the Oceanic 6 all went missing again. They were pretty big media celebrities for awhile, so the fact that they all went missing again (after flying on the same plane) would raise some eyebrows back home right?

It’s not something important to the story, but something kind of interesting to think about.

I just watched Julie Bowen on Youtube. She’s freakin adorable isn’t she?

[Rushgeekgirl]

Also I don’t know why she couldn’t still be Jack’s wife, just because we don’t see her again. Is it important to the plot to see her again?

I like the idea of it being Juliet’s sister though.

Presumably Julie Bowen, just like in the original timeline. Remember that he’s divorced in both timelines so it would be inconsistent if he had a different ex-wife in the two timelines.

It’s worth pointing out that Julie Bowen’s new show Modern Family went to shoot on location in Hawaii for the episode that airs this Wednesday, meaning if they wanted to have her appear on Lost in the next couple weeks she just happened to be in the neighborhood.

Yeah, I mentioned that in the “Modern Family” thread last week - maybe Julie Bowen had to go to Hawaii anyway to film some scenes for LOST. I was only half-serious but I think Julie Bowen as Jack’s ex-wife in the ATL makes a lot more sense than Juliet.

According to the spoilerslost blog, which has never been wrong in my experience, it will be revealed that

Juliet

is the mother of Jack’s child in the ATL.
