Only problem with that is he wasn't around when the scientist did his time experiment so he still has no idea about the supposed time differential.

Miles has always been the top guy in that 4 man crew. Perhaps he already knew the results beforehand. Seems plausible given what he knows.

That's a good point. I can't think of any other reason to talk about those numbers. I wonder if Locke would have figured it out if he had overheard it.

**DaneMcCloud** · 02-22-2008, 01:05 PM

Another amazing episode!

1. Ben is obviously someone of power and influence in the "real" world. Someone very well known and wealthly.
2. It appears that Claire didn't make if off the island. Is she dead? Did she decide to stay for some reason?
3. Did Kate steal Aaron?
4. The Oceanic 8? Most well-known faces in America?
5. Jack, Kate, Hurley, Sayid, Aaron and ? make up the Oceanic 6.
6. Are the other two survivors Sun & Jin, who in this episode, mentioned that they wanted to return to Korea to raise their baby?

Any guesses as to who is the final person of the Oceanic 6?

I'm ruling out Desmond, Locke, Claire and Sawyer.

Could it be Michael?

IMO, Jack didn't want to see Aaron because either A)He wouldn't be able to continue lying about the island after seeing Aaron or B)He had to make a choice between Claire or Aaron and it's haunting him.

I'd say B. And it sucks. Claire had those beautiful blue eyes.

Think he figures out Claire's his sister?

I would think that if he did, he'd want to be close with her.

Just speculation on my part, but I think Jack doesn't want to see Aaron because it will remind him of a painful decision he was forced to make.

At least, that's what I think this week. Next week, it could all change.

Again.

I sure hope the writers know where all this is headed??

I fear we are all in for a huge disappoinment come the end of the series.

BTW, whatever happened to the Monster from the first few episodes??

Still a good show though...

Ben? They showed him in a flash-forward with Sayid

I don't think everyone's favorite German veterinarian is much for celebrity.

I get the impression that only people from Season 1 can be part of the Oceanic 6. (Claire was preggers in Season 1, so Aaron still fits.)

Ben wasn't on the manifest.

Dude, there's NO WAY that J.J. Abrams is going to produce a series that doesn't have a beginning and an ending.

The FIRST thing these producers did when they created this show was to map out the beginning and ending for every character. Once they had an end date, they were able to fill in the middle.

There's definitely an ending. And there are clues to the true identity of the island in every episode.

IM sure they had a rough outline, but i highly doubt they knew every little detail in advance before they began.

What about all the characters who have come and gone?

Shannon, Mr. Eko, Ann Lucia, Boone. You think they had those characters mapped out?

Yes.

Do you know anything about screenwriting?

The first thing you do is to outline the story from start to finish. Then, you create characters and after that, you fill in their back story.

In the case of "Lost", they have 121 hour long episodes (40 minutes each, in actuality) to fill in the back story.

So whether the show had 24 episodes or 72 episodes, the creators know the beginning and the ending. It's just how much back story they're allowed to tell via the network, ratings, etc.
