Dawn ,'The Killer In Me'
[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
Richard Alpert is a cartoon, that's why he doesn't age!
Just occurred to me: if Locke's body didn't timeshift with Jack et al on the last flash, but he came back to life, might Charlotte also have been brought back to life?
Very curious as to why Amy and the baby survived.
but...wouldn't Faraday say: what happened already happened.
I definitely take everything that Daniel says with a grain of salt BECAUSE HE IS CRAZY. I hope he has something more interesting and dynamic to do soon... he had such potential but got all wet rag-ish as soon as Charlotte became sick.
Little Ben apparently hasn't hit the island yet, I don't think.
le nubian, I think Ben came there in the 60s, so he'd hit the island well before that. I think. I can't even remember why I think that, but I do. I suspect that by 1977, he'd already defected from the Dharma Initiative to Richard's Others. I'm starting my research, now. I loved last night's episode, but I was ready to quit, just thinking about summarizing it. From a writing perspective, it's much easier to recap it scene by scene (so, a long-TWoP regular recap) than it is to give just the facts, because who the heck can tell what's important on this show?
Right, Nora. And Daniel's speaking as a scientist -- and thinking of rules. It's difficult to know where the rules end and where the facts of what you can and can't change begin.
Cindy,
How old is Ben supposed to be? He hit the island at age 11. Is he really 50+? I thought he was supposed to be younger than that. Like he would have hit the island around now (mid- to late-70s) as an 11-year-old.
When Ben hit the island and gassed Dharma and went with Richard & the Hostiles, they lived in Dharma facilities. They took them over. It really wasn't Dharma any more.
I don't think the times and ages add up, but it would be REALLY cool if Ben were the baby that just got born.

But... we've seen him be born already! I am afraid I call shenanigans on that. More completely nonsensical than anything else.
Yeah, it's definitely not Ben. Or Charlotte. I can't figure out who it might be. It has to be someone important because that baby exists because of Sawyer and Juliet's intervention.
The Lostpedia theorists are kicking around Jacob (however, they think everything is Jacob.) A little theory a friend of mine is kicking around is that it's Ethan, and he gets kidnapped by the Others?
It may be more significant because it's the first/last/only (???) birth of a child conceived on the island, it might tie into that whole thing, it might change whatever weirdness was causing that.
I'm just talking here!
The baby is born in 1977, which would make him about 27 at the time the Lostaways landed. Ethan was older than that. And I would hope Jacob too. The best guess I have for someone that age is Alex's boyfriend, but he's not that important in the grand scheme of things.
HOWEVER. If the Island skips again, he could be any age that's required.
