So kate's passing aaron of as her own? Interesting episode

[harvey107]

Is aaron one of the Oceanic six then?

[IM-LOST-WITH-LOST]

Wow great episode!

I only have one major problem.... Does this mean Claires dead!!!

[hezhez]

i am soooo dissapointed. it has been rumoured for ages that aaron is kate's HE but i just cant believe it. someone up there in planet lost has let slip some info and totally spoilt the whole episode for me!!!!!!!! plots as important should be kept locked and bolted in deep under ground vaults!!!! - in my opinion! x

[The_other_other]

thats a problem?

edit: well i never heard that rumour. I feel sorry for you however. Lol.

You talking to me or the guy above?

If me then of course its a problem!! Claires great she added soooooo much to season 1 & parts of season 2.... We'll forget that most of us thought she was dead throughout season 3 Just as she seems to be appearing more, it looks as though she's gonna be bumped off... Unless Aaron is taken from Claire and is forced upon Kate on the frieghter or something Its possible that they take Aaron and Kate rescues him??

[Him]

I thought this was a rather weak episode in comparison to the previous 3.

[E Pluribus Unum]

Yeah it was an interesting episode. Loved the reveal at the end and the questions that it poses...

It certainly doesn't bode well for Claire, does it?

I don't think they know the child is Claires, I doubt Kate would have been able to adopt Aaron considering her situation, I'd guess that only she, Jack and the rest of the O-6 know...

Afterall, according to Jacks 'story' only the 6 of them survived...

The on Island stuff was interesting if rather pointless. More pitter-pattering around answers "Don't treat me like one of them, I know who you are. And what you can do." ALthough I was surprised and rather tickled at Lockes decision to shove a grenade down his throat lol

Poor Sawyer, Kate's a complex gal

See i have to disagree.. yes the whole pregnancy thing, and her relationship with charlie added things to the show, but thats all over now, so shes reduced to being the 'mother' plot device. Her character is pretty bland, and shes got nothing really left in her backstory, or any future story. Aarons the special one, not Claire, lol.

Not to mention as an actress shes pretty poor.

Then again, she's not necessarily going to die.. there are a number of possibilities.

[hezhez]

anyway time to get over it! i realy like locke but i get really angry with him whenever he loses it in front of ben, i really wish he wouldnt let ben get to him like that, he knows that ben tries to manipulate them all with mind games so why does he fall for it every time!

[The_other_other]

Locke is very easily manipulated. Its his character flaw, as well as strength.

[esn]

I thought it was a ok episode - deffo the weakest since the opener. I dont like Kate centric episodes. Quite interesting and has a different pace to it. A bit slower. Intresting that Jack chose to lie for Kate under oath. I gotta admitt to being surpised that at the twist at the end - I was so expecting Kates baby to be named James after his father. Alas, it seems that Claire dies, or Kate would have told Aarron the turth about his real mother - or maybe thats why she doesnt want to go back? Maybe thats why Jack doesnt want to see Aarron, his nephew, because he feels responsible for Claires death somhow. Intersting how Locke just shoved the grenade in Miles mouth like that. Also interesting that Miles wants to blackmail Ben like that - I never trusted him and he isnt what he seems.

Also loved the line "Read it again. You might pick up somthing you missed second time around"

I reckon that was a message to the viewers to start rewatching the DVDs for clues to the current episodes meanings
