Lost 2: Tied to a Tree in a Jungle of Mystery

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I thought that Sun and Lapidus were already in time/place that Locke is in, with the rest of the Ajira crash survivors.

Sun was the only one of the original flight 815 folks who wasn't mysteriously zapped out of the plane when it crashed. (I'm assuming that Jack, Kate, Hurley, and Sayid were somehow mysteriously spirited away, given that Jack woke up flat on his back in the jungle and nowhere near the plane.)

So, the people who got zapped out of the plane (or whatever happened to them) ended up in 1977, but Sun, Ben, not-dead!Locke, Lapidus, and the rest of the passengers seem to have ended up in the present.

I laughed and laughed at Jack being a janitor.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Sun was the only one of the original flight 815 folks who wasn't mysteriously zapped out of the plane when it crashed.

And Locke.

And Locke.

I was including him with the rest of plane by default, since at the time of the flight he was more "cargo" than "passenger," but yes, I should have specified that.

Sun was the only LIVING member of the original flight 815 folks who wasn't mysteriously zapped out of the plane when it crashed.

Yeah, and I will want a good explanation as to why she wasn't, dammit.

Um, from the show, not from y'all.

Wee Ben, still creepy.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I am wondering if because Sun was physically different from the Sun who flew the first time, if this is what held her in the present.

She had a child between the time she flew the first and second time.

How different would that make her?

Not that I have any sort of understanding of the mechanism that moved them back in time (I had been thinking that they were caught in the same flash that jumped Sawyer et al back, but that must have been 3 years before, so I have all this handwavium lying around and nothing to throw it at), so, sure, that could be it. The island is full of weirdness wrt pregnancy and babies.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

all I can say is that she was pregnant when she left the island and not so when she returned!

Oh, when she left, right. I was thinking it was a difference between the first arrival on the island and the second, but your way makes sense.

What is even happening?

I am wondering if because Sun was physically different from the Sun who flew the first time, if this is what held her in the present.

She had a child between the time she flew the first and second time.

It could also be Sun is more tied to the present (because of her baby) than the rest of her fellow lost-aways.
