But wouldn’t the obvious answer be, “Because Claire told us all you were dead”?! She told Sun on the beach one day that her mother was dead, and Sun would have passed that on to Kate. So why would Kate have been looking for Claire’s mom if she assumed Claire was an orphan? She meets Mrs. Littleton for the first time at Christian’s funeral, and Aaron is 9 months old at that point, so she’s already very attached to him.</i><br /><br /><br />Why didn't Kate, Jack and the others consider searching for other members of the Littleton family, if Kate thought Carole Littleton was dead? Why didn't Kate mention that she believed Ms. Littleton was dead in the "The Little Prince" flashback?<br /><br />Let's face it . . .

I've always suspected that Kate loved Jack a little more. There was that curious photo of Kate, Jack and Aaron on her fireplace mantle . . . after Jack had left her. <br /><br /><br /><br /><i>So Sawyer could back to being 5 and stop his mom being conned and the conseqences of that, Kate could back and not blow up her mom's house and there for her mom would still love her and her child hood sweetheart would not die, Jack could go back and keep Sarah and stop Christian for drinking himself to death and Lock could go back and marry Helen. A nice ending.</i><br /><br />This sounds like an illogical fantasy . . . even for "LOST".<br /><br /><br />Juliet's rant against Jack annoyed me. I can understand her being angry at him for refusing to treat Ben. But to claim that she and Sawyer didn't need help, when they had assisted Locke in leaving the island in order to bring the O6 back, smacks of hypocrisy. And Sawyer, Juliet and Miles have been wallowing in hypocrisy ever since the O6 returned to the island.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-54593352717099650252009-04-06T08:13:00.000-04:002009-04-06T08:13:00.000-04:00My mind is in melt down with all the information o...My mind is in melt down with all the information on time travel !

We know that the Losties are in 1977 for a reason either to make something happen or stop something happening. What is after this has happened the 'higher being'..could be Jacob could be another allows the surviving Losties to go back in time to anytime they want and live their life from that point. So Sawyer could back to being 5 and stop his mom being conned and the conseqences of that, Kate could back and not blow up her mom's house and there for her mom would still love her and her child hood sweetheart would not die, Jack could go back and keep Sarah and stop Christian for drinking himself to death and Lock could go back and marry Helen.

LOL<BR/><BR/>I am sure that since we now know that the Others are NOT stopped by the Dharma security system - it must be there for something. I would believe that it is to protect the compound from Smokey and maybe for nothing else. We might not have seen him/it but I thought when we met Amy and Sawyer shot the two Others, that we could hear Smokey's distinctive sound shortly before this encounter. Did anyone else pick that up?<BR/><BR/>Since Smokey 'resides' at the Temple, it is very possible that he/it has been there for a long time. The Temple looks very old, is covered in hieroglyphs and could be as old as the statue our group of time-travellers saw. If that is the case, I am hoping that we might get a glimpse into Smokey's origin before the show ends. I think we are due that one. :)SenexMacdonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07627665857390777236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-50799698432529242742009-04-04T12:00:00.000-04:002009-04-04T12:00:00.000-04:00Thank you very much Benny!I guess that something w...Thank you very much Benny!<BR/>I guess that something we are watching is NOT REAl.

Re: why Kate didn't simply tell Jack about her visits to Cassidy and Clementine. I think she explains why she "can't tell" Jack...She says something like <BR/>"because he (Sawyer) wouldn't want me to". <BR/><BR/>Like someone else said, if Sawyer wanted his request known to anyone besides Kate, he wouldn't have whispered it to her, so she is trying to be true to his wishes.<BR/><BR/>2. Re: whether Jack's decision to NOT save young Ben makes him "a dick". 8~). I suppose I may be exposing my defective set of maternal instincts, but that is Ben Linus, and, horrible as it is in the real world to shoot a defenseless boy, this is Lost and he will become the sociopath we love to hate named Ben Linus. To me the question should be put to Juliet, Kate and Sawyer, why are you letting him live? Throughout the series, every time someone does something nice for/to Ben (or skips a chance to kill him) I am always screaming at the TV "No! Don't listen to him! Don't let him do that! How can you forget all the agony and suffering he put you through?" Of course, while I am screaming this I am secretly happy that Juliet, Kate and Sawyer DID find the motivation to save him so that he CAN grow up to be the sociopath we love to hate named Ben Linus. 8~)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-90799082607110327542009-04-03T16:59:00.000-04:002009-04-03T16:59:00.000-04:00Excellent recap, as always.

Alcatraz is within the main island's bubble (it traveled through time/space along with the big island) so it's probably safe to surmise that the properties of the main island extend to Alcatraz as well. <BR/><BR/>@Blam<I>Lost viewers get inappropriately dramatic mysteries called Benthams.</I><BR/><BR/>Ha! I absolutely love this! I'm absorbing it into my vernacular immediately. <BR/><BR/>As for Jack's refusal to help Ben, I think I wouldn't have thought he was such a dick to refuse to help if they made it clear he <I>wanted</I> to, but that in order for him to stick to his new attitude, he couldn't. <BR/><BR/>If he immediately jumped into action, then stopped himself and realized that wouldn't be a very "man of faith" thing to do, fine. <BR/><BR/>Instead, it was presented as though he had no desire or interest in saving little Ben because he was going to grow up into evil big Ben, and then came up with his zen "what happened, happened" attitude to cover for his personal desire to not help Ben. <BR/><BR/>So it seemed like Jack was just being a dick and less like he was accepting his role as a player on the chess board of destiny.Austin Gortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281239771248780430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-18642700955331120312009-04-03T09:47:00.000-04:002009-04-03T09:47:00.000-04:00@lostie815: doubtful, so far 1970s are happening a...@lostie815: doubtful, so far 1970s are happening as they have always had.<BR/>One can speculate that Ben hadn't been shot and transformed but it doesn't quite fit what we know about Ben and the island.<BR/><BR/>I would chalk it up to a few possibilities:<BR/>1)Simply a production error, they just wanted to project that it was part of the past;<BR/>2) This is a building that we hadn't seen so far/the Others forgot to convert;<BR/>3) It is a manifestation of the island/Christian-self to help Sun and Frank; and<BR/>4) Something has actually changed, but what and to what extent.<BR/><BR/>I think that if something changes, it's because Daniel realizes that it can and figures out how.
