So now we know that kate was most likely referring to aaron in the season finale when she said "i have to get back to him"

another thing is that claire is obviously one of the other 2 of the 8 that are not the oceanic 6. she didn't get off the island(or died) but because her son was alive, they needed to include that she had survived in their story, so the question is, who else do they say is a survivor, but dosn't make it off the island?

one other question i have, i didn't understand the episode name at all.
"eggtown"???
locke makes ben eggs at the start but that was the closest i got... lol.
is it like a reference to the way locke is running his little town?

one other thing:
so can we now asume that walt's rapid aging will be answered by the time difference?
but if time runs faster on the island, than how come he is older after being off the island??? \

There were numerous references to Kate being pregnant, or not. Eggs = baby

Re. "Eggtown", what both of you said, + Otherville, the primary on-Island setting of this epi is all yellow and white, like eggs... that's what I immediately thought of when I heard this epi was going to be called "Eggtown".

Just a response to the OP, no one is saying that only 8 ppl survived...

They are obviously lying and creating a story. I think we can all assume that the media and "real world" has no clue about the island. Odds are high that they were "rescued" from somewhere else and a whole story was made up about the rescue

Jack said on the stand that he knew Kate because they were both on Oceanic Flight 815, which crashed on an island in the South Pacific, and that only 8 people survived the crash. Now since the outside world would know that fellow passenger Claire was 8 months pregnant and Kate was not, survivor baby Aaron cannot be Kate's (right?). Then in order for their story (lie) to explain Aaron, Claire would have to be one of the 8 that survived the crash, but is likely not one of the Oceanic 6.

Just a theory, but it stands to reason that Jin would want Sun to leave the island, if there is a risk that she and the baby will die if they stay. If she is the last of the Oceanic 6, and her D.O.C. was after the crash, they would have to explain who got her pregnant. Jin = #8.

ooh,
i really like that theory
i think your right!

that would make the oceanic 6

1. Jack
2. Hurley
3. Kate
4. Sayid
5. Sun
6. ??????

and then the other two would be Jin and Claire.
Seems highly likely to me.

I feel like number six must be Sawyer or Locke (who knows why either of them would leave the island?)
because who else is there really?


and i figured out eggtown actually refers to something else completely.
its on lostpedia.

Why do you Sun? Spoilers?

that would make the oceanic 6

1. Jack
2. Hurley
3. Kate
4. Sayid
5. Sun
6. ??????


This must be Aaron ,then...

look closely at next weeks preview

In it we see ( a short haired) Desmond arguing with ( a long haired) Miles
I am guessing that Desmond is one of the O6

desmond can't be one of the oceanic 6 cus he wasn't on the plane
i use sun because that would explain why there is another one,
if jin got her pregnant, but didn't get off they would need to say that he survived the crash (one of the 8) but he didn't get off so he is not one of the 6. make sense?

and aaron can't be one of the 6 because he wasn't on the plane either.

That's right I forgot about that.
Thanks for reminding me

I thought Aaron was one of the Oceanic 6 -- he was not on the passenger manifest, but he technically was a survivor of the crash. Also, in last week's preview of this week's episode, I thought they said that another of the Oceanic Six would be revealed. Since we already knew that Jack and Kate were in the O6, Aaron is the only other one "revealed" that had returned from the island.

But if Jack said only 8 people survived the crash, they had to be Jack, Kate, Hurley, Sayid, Claire (to explain where Aaron came from), and three more. Once Aaron is born, there'd be 9 people on the island, but only 6 make it back. Which means their story must explain what happened to the other 3.

You are assuming the O6 told the world that the baby was Clair's
They might have kept that little fact to themselves.
We also don't know, proof positive, that the baby is not kate's.
There still is the possibility that she just named him Aaron in memory of the Aaron we know and that he is in fact Sawyer's child.
Anyone notice Kate did not seem to enthused about the drink Sawyer gave her?

Yes, and if time does in fact move slower on the island, and the Losties are all covering up the true nature of what happened, they'd almost *have* to explain Aaron as somebody's baby besides Claire's.

If they've been missing for a year+ according to the real world, "Claire's baby" should be a toddler, not an infant. A year or so of "missing age" (due to slowtime) isn't really noticeable in an adult, but it's inescapable in a child. So I'm guessing the story they tell is that Kate became pregnant when she was stranded on the island, either by Jack or one of the 8 that "survived the crash" but didn't become one of the O6. This would be the only way to make Aaron's age seem "right" for the real world tabloid frenzy.
