That is interesting, because on the show it appears that she has the ultrasound within hours of getting off a plane. I wonder if someone read the date incorrectly, because having a "lost month" in there really confuses things.

[Bostonfan]

I went back and freeze-framed it. It's definitely 10/22. You can't see the "04", but that's the year they're in.

Thanks for some of the "explanations" (or theories/questions/guesses) because they helped me a lot in filling in some major chunks of last night's episode. I was trying to listen to the wrap-up on a basketball game on the radio while simultaneously watching LOST -- needless to say, much comprehension (of both) was lost. :lol: I thought the name of the temple leader was "Dogen" -- Bogen = Gogen = Dogen? :confused: Have I missed any translations posted of what he said in Japanese?

[smurfy]

I still am not sure what to think. Cool development wtih Claire, but hopefully the other stuff is there for a reason which we will appreciate later on.
So agree about folks that have died - had things worked out for them.
Didn't see the date - interesting. But given that the island is under water and lots of things did not happen, it could mess up the timing of the date of the flight.
Love Sawyer/Josh Holloway.

On a side note - Daniel Dae Kim aka Jin has been cast as Chin Ho Kelly in the new Hawaii 50 series. So cool.

I've never been so happy to have a character die on this show as Charlotte.

I cheered when Artz blew up. :lol: But totally agree on Charlotte going. She always bugged.

Wonder if they're going to address "Adam and Eve" this season? I'm a bit freaked that A&E wind up being Jin & Sun. :(

The sideways reality being a month behind just doesn't make any sense to me. I understand the bomb going off could have really altered things but to push things back a month? Why would it do that and yet everyone would still be on the same path to end up in Australia? That is way too out there for me to entertain. I wonder if that was one of those things they throw in there just to mess with us. This whole sideways reality may not even mean anything in the end (as someone said, it could be a way to just show us what could have been...) so maybe they decided to confuse the hell out of us by changing the date back a month?

I also don't think Claire is Rosseau as some people are saying. A friend of mine mentioned her being Penelope? I don't think Claire is anyone except Claire. We just have yet to find out what exactly happened to her and why she has been off hiding in the jungle acting LIKE Rosseau.

Does anyone think that Claire is actually Rosseau? Or just that Claire has been living for a while in a way similar to the way in which Rosseau had lived on the island?

I TOTALLY forgot about those two.

But how could they be Jin and Sun? Even with all the alternate timelines, it doesn't seem to make sense.

I thought they might be Rose and Bernard?? But they did not go back in time.

[dbell1]

I was thinking Rose and Bernard as the A&E option too, but they're 'minor' characters to the show. Or A&E are Jack and Kate? I may have to go rewatch Season 1 to see the cave scene again. Weren't they near the site of a plane crash? :confused:

Wonder what happened to Vincent, the yellow lab o' doom? He was always my Season 1 favorite. :lol:

But totally agree on Charlotte going. She always bugged.

She started out well for me - I loved the idea of an anthropologist, a physicist and a psychic teaming up to explore the island (and showing us different sides of it in the process), and I loved the idea that Widmore had gathered these "children of the island" together like that.

Then the focus seemed to shift over to Faraday (much to the delight of the "Desmond is the centre of the universe" ubers), and Charlotte was regulated to nothing but a lame love interest for Faraday. At that point, I was happy to see her die.

And I'm likely one of the few who doesn't miss Faraday either - the actor was good, and his contribution to the story was important, but I think overall he was distracting from the story of the core characters.

Does anyone think that Claire is actually Rosseau? Or just that Claire has been living for a while in a way similar to the way in which Rosseau had lived on the island?

Now that MIB/Smokey has inhabited Locke or rather a facsimile of Locke, there are some who now want everyone to be someone else - first Sayid, now Claire.

I agree with you and BigB - Claire is Claire, and she's going through a similar experience to Danielle and her team.

The last time we saw Claire, she was smirking in the cabin with Christian, who she knows is her father, and who most agree was likely really MIB/Smokey - so he has seduced her (psychologically, not sexually) and she is now infected in the same way Sayid is.

Maybe where this is going - since we have been reminded quite obviously that she's Jack's half sister, the mother of Aaron and the alleged reason Kate came back to the island - is the idea that the Losties will somehow be able to get Claire back from the clutches of Smokey in some kind of final showdown that also leads to a reset that puts everyone back on the plane or otherwise living a normal life.

I am trying to remember which episode Rousseau was killed - was it the same time Claire dissappeared? Just a thought?

[Jenny]

Round the same time. IIRC, Claire had been in the barracks when Keamy's team arrived, and survived an explosion of one of the buildings before taking off into the jungle with Aaron, Miles and Sawyer, where she disappeared. (Some surmise she didn't actually survive the explosion, but that's another story.)

Rousseau was fleeing as well with Alex and her boyfriend. She was later found dead in the woods, so I think the assumption is that Keamy's team killed her before bringing Alex back to be leverage against Ben, when she was killed.

interesting! It was very close, I think about 2 or 3 episodes elapsed, but these episodes covered a very short time frame in Island time. Here's some excerpts from Lostpedia (http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Rousseau):
Rousseau's fate, however, remained unknown until Sawyer, Claire and Miles were trekking back from the Barracks to the beach camp and they passed the clearing where Rousseau and Karl were shot. Miles began hearing screams and echoes and mysteriously asked who Danielle and Karl were. He then proceeded to dig two holes in the ground, revealing Karl and Danielle's dead bodies buried in their shallow graves.
and then about Claire (http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Claire) (prior to this excerpt she had been discovered relatively uninjured (but disoriented) in the ruins of a barracks building blown up when Keamy's team attacked and had seen the smoke monster for the first time when it attacked Keamy's team):
Some time into their journey back to the beach, Claire told Sawyer that her head still hurt but that she'd stopped seeing things. Circumstances worsened when Miles found the corpses of Danielle and Karl, Claire was visibly disturbed by the sight and requested that they keep moving. As the trio stopped for a break, and Claire was feeding Aaron, Miles began staring at her mysteriously, and at this, Sawyer behaved protectively toward her issued a "restraining order" on Miles, which he reiterated several times. Miles continually offered to give Claire support in carrying Aaron, but she politely refused.
...
That night, Sawyer's protectiveness backfired when Claire woke during the night and noticed Aaron's absence. Sitting up in a panic, Claire saw her father [Christian] holding him fondly and whispered, "Dad?". She followed him into the jungle, according to Miles, who finally decided to "respect" Sawyer's warnings. Sawyer instantly went off to find Claire, but found Aaron abandoned at the base of a tree nearby and shouted for Claire desperately but received no response as she was gone.
I think Miles may know something...

[Satellitegirl]

I think Miles may know a lot of things...question is why is he waiting to say anything as far as what he knows.
