According to Juliet, Sun must be off the island in three weeks or she will begin to have complications. By week five she'll die. So that means that that they are rescued in that time frame?

I never knew how short a time the six had left on the Island. Really makes me wonder how the show is going to evolve once those six are off the island in island time.

We know she is off the island in 3-5 weeks. But she could just be 100 miles off shore on a boat or something. We do now know she'll be home in at least 6-7 months. Which makes the age of Aaron in Kate's flash forward not match up unless you assume the trial took a very long time.

It's possible that only Sun get's off at this time.

in the "previously on lost" Juliet told Sun she had until the third trimester(ie 6 months)before she would die

so why is Sun different that she has less than 3 months before she dies.
added to that when Sun tells Jin her affair was a long time ago....no it wasn't Sun it was recent enough that she thought the baby wasn't yours

shoddy writing?

Can't agree...they wouldn't be the Oceanic 6 if 6 of them didn't arrive together as a group.

When the 6 leave the island...they all 6 leave the island.

To scare her out of going to Locke's camp?

by the time they get home, kate gets arrested, pleads not guilty, is prosecuted and goes to trial, it could be a couple years before the entire judicial process is completed. with all that kate is being charged with, a trial like that is not done in a week.

Did you watch Eggtown? They let her get off with probabtion for all those crimes, so I wouldn't put too much faith in the writers that they got the timeline of how long a trial would actually take when they couldn't get details of how a trial works right.

yes i watched eggtown. kate copped a deal when the prosecution's key witness--kate's mother---refused to testify. i'm just saying, a trial like that could easily take months if not years to complete, so the timeline could be justified.

Hurley had to have gotten off close to the same time as Sun as he showed up soon after Ji was born. So I would assume all O6 get off together.

the trial could be wrapped up in a matter of weeks...but the events leading up the trial is what takes a long time....you have to gather evidence, corraborate witnesses, have discovery and the trial date is set accordingly. I do not know of one case of that magnitude that is tried within days or a week of arrest, and arraignment.


Suns FF has to have come first, because Hurley came and visited, but it is at least 4 months from the time of rescue.

Sayid, Kates and Hurley's FF probably happen about the same time...


And YES, they all got off the same time...not is waves

Jacks is last due to his condition

Can't agree...they wouldn't be the Oceanic 6 if 6 of them didn't arrive together as a group.

Yes, I agree with this. It just...makes more sense?

Just because Hurley came to see Sun and Ji Yeon doesn't really say anything about the O6 getting off at the same time, does it? but yes, I still believe they'll get off as a group.

I don't this this is a spoiler but I'll wrap it just in case to keep from getting Modered

I think there's going to be several ep's about what goes on after they get back. We know Ben goes to the mainland and does who-knows-what. Plus 3-5 weeks is 21-35 days which is 21-35 episodes. If that's the case, I'm really going to miss the mysteries of the island. I know it can't last forver but it's sad to see what is the beginning of the end of a great TV series.

5 weeks is an eternity in Lost screen time. It's taken 3.5 years to show 3 months.

And we've got a 9-month hiatus looming.

I'd love to see the six get off before then but ain't gonna happen, imo..

I don't remember exactly where, but I read something that Darlton wrote that said that they would be off the island at the end of this season. I think it's less important that they all got off the island at the same time (because I think Michael is one of the six). What's really important is that they all got back to civilization at the same time so that they could start telling the lie together.

I agree. It's hard to believe that 90 or so days has 3.5 years to show, so 21 to 35 more days could take up a lot more time than it seems.

If they are off the island within 5 or even 18 weeks, it lets Sun live, according to Juliet's various versions of pregnancy death. But the math for Kate's deception won't add up. Say she was 14 weeks pregnant when the Marshall brought her on the plane, and very late to show a pregnancy. 14 + 18 + 12 weeks on the island equals a 1 month baby, not a strapping 7 month old, which Aaron would be. The longer they stay on the island, the more likely that Kate could pass a baby off as her own, as developmental stages become more blurred. On the shorter timeline, 14+5+12 weeks wouldn't even give Kate plausible time to deliver.

So, either there will be time bending, or the writers will have us believe that a fugitive awaiting trial was allowed to keep Claire's baby, when Tom or Claire's aunt or the adoptive couple in CA could have sought custody. Or the state could have taken Aaron, pending trial.

been searching pregnacy forums and its really not uncommon to go as long as 25 weeks without showing.

even longer,in some cases
With my first pregnancy I didn't really "show" until my 32nd week, which my OB said was due to my active lifestyle. However, this is my second pregnancy and at 9 weeks I have a little bulge....so it's all different. = (http://www.pregnancy-info.net/QA/answers-when_will_i_show/#top)

its quite possible for Kate to say she was as pregnant as Claire was,when she got on the plane

This has been bothering me for awhile. My only explanation is, they all arrive on the freighter, then leave as a group. Today's media would have a field day with them, considering the wreckage of 815 filmed earlier in the trench. One at a time, it would be newsworthy, but the story would have to play out over time. Great Lost theme though, and I wouldn't put it past them. The writers are brilliant. But, what about Desmond? How does Michael fit, is he the person in the coffin? No one cares, we never learned about his past other than his wife. Is Michael the 6th and not Aaron. Personally, I don't think Aaron is an O6, there's just not any story there, other than back up material for others.

This is why we obsess about this show. This says a lot about the plot, writing, and development of the characters. This has been the best show I've ever experienced in my time.

shoddy writing?

The women die half way through the second trimester. None made it to the third. She's two months pregnant, so in less than 3 months, she will be half way through the 2nd trimester.

remember the trial was poorly written to begin with. The prosecution presented their witness after the defence. HA
