I'm not Danielle's biggest fan - infact I cannot stand her. But it kinda sticks in the throat when people like Claire are stilling hanging around. I'm not bashing Claire as she hardly warrents such focus, but she really has done squat all since giving birth
Maybe i'm slightly peeved because she hasn't honoured Charlie's brave death with a single post 4.01 tear or look of sorrow, or maybe it's because she is a pointless character who's only purpose in Lost was to give birth and facilitate yet another pointless layer in another pointless characters story-arc. I'm of course talking about Kate getting Aaron.
It just feels somewhat conceited, for them to make Aaron a mere conduit after giving him so much hype and promise. What happened to the devils child possibility or the idea of him having an ability like walt? Sure, it may have been predictable, but surely it's better than using him simply to extend the life-cycle of Kate?
I realise that Claire might be dying soon what with 2005 Kate having Aaron(although persnally I don't think this is necessarily the case), but to despatch a once-good rogue in favour of someone who has been dragging their feet for the past 3 seasons..well, it makes me wonder whether Lost itself is a metaphor for the island - what with certain characters merely serving as pawns to facilitate the creators
'favourites'.
