I don't really believe it myself, Brooks. I'm just trying to get at the reason for both mothers to be named Emily.

I agree that Ben would probably know if John is his half brother. Still, if he does know, that could account for some of his resentment towards John. Something like, "Why did she give birth to you and not die, but she did die giving birth to me?", if you see what I 'm getting at.

Either way, it's fun to explore and something I think we won't learn more about for a while.

I understand that some people are speculating that Sun seeks revenge. I love her's and Jin's story - probably the most. I really hope the story moves in that direction.

So Claire is telling Kate not to bring Aaron back? A couple episodes ago, was Charlie's message to Jack through Hurley that Jack shouldn't raise Aaron? So, Claire isn't supposed to let Aaron be raised by another (or an Other - eek, eek), but she wants Kate to keep him in California and not take him back to Lost Island. Tough one.

Yes, LG. this has been bothering me since the finale. It looks like there are different agenda's; Widmore's, Ben's and Jacob's.
I assume that Christian & Claire speaking on behalf of Jacob have an island agenda that is different then Ben's.
Would that be because Ben has a personal agenda now?

Ben was clear that all 6 of them had to return to the island plus Locke - why?
Claire tells Kate - not to let Aaron go back, apparently it is OK for Kate to raise him in CA though.

Who is speaking on behalf of the island????
I am guessing Claire is

I too think the other person Sun blames is Jack, that could be the brunt of his guilt and the guilt of leaving Juliet and thus ending up with Kate as a guilt relieving measure. Did anyone notive the similarities of the Others when Locke was stading on the ridge looking down at them, they looked a lot like everyone at the beach?? The other thing I noticed (Can't believe it's the first time) but in the ABC ads, the shape of the Lost island in commercials looks like a city is in the shape of the island in the water?

This was by far the most exciting fact finding season..kudos to the writers for a mgreat season!!

I guess you have to look at their motivations. And I mean the motivations of all parties. Is Claire appearing to Kate and telling her to not take Aaron back to the island a manifestation of Kate's own desire not to go back? Or is it a case of a beyond-the-dead Claire wanting to protect her child and ensure his safety? Does Ben want them all to go back to the island because that is what the island wants? Or does their return behoove him in some way (maybe sacrificing them in some way to the island by forcing them to return would somehow enable him to return as well)?

Jin HAS to be alive. I just know it!!! I also hope Michael is still alive because I'd really like to see his and Walt's story play out.

Michael + Walt = Booooring

as soon as the writers decided to not explain Walt conjuring up polar bears and whatnot his storyline has long been over to me

Michael's time is over... If you remember his initial job on the freighter WAS to blow it up, ironic isn't it how he end up dieing

Jin is in tiny lil pieces like Mr. Arzst... i think the only way we'll see him again is as a ghost... Maybe Hurley will be playing backgammon with him in a future episode

i'd like Libby and Naomi back, but i guess it's not in the cards

Is Walt's grandmother that he's living with the same woman that hired Miles to get rid of her grandson's ghost?
It sure looked like it to me.

I don't think so, MRD. I thought that grandmother that had Miles to her house lived in CA. I also thought that Walt's grandmother lived in NY. I could be way off but that was my take on it.

Which also leaves me with the question, what was the whole point of Miles snooping around in that kid's bedroom? They (TPTB) never expanded on that whole scenario. Didn't Miles move a dresser or something to look for something hidden in a wall? It seemed like he used his "ghost-hunting" abilities to gain access to that kid's room, and then as soon as he looked around and found whatever it was that he found, he was out the door (after giving the grandmother half the fee back, IIRC)

Wasn't it money?
