Stone: Amelia is an older woman who arrives first at Juliet’s for the book club on the day of the 815 crash.

It has been speculated that she is the famous woman test pilot Amelia Earhart who crashed-disapeared in the pacific in the 1930s. The writers are fond of anagrams and the airlaine lounge where Juliet meets Ethan and Richard before embarquing for the island belongs to a company called Hararet (or something like that. An anagram for Earhart)

Since the episode two weeks ago other people have been speculating that Amy (short for Amelia?) may still have been alive among the others in 2004.

Take your pick. I like both theories…

i think they take babies because they are looking for someone they think is going to be important.

Charlie shot Ethan, and was ridiculed by Jack as they could have gotten information from him.

Right, my bad on the timeline. So Sawyer etc. saves her, she leaves, and that’s why Ethan’s last name is changed blah blah.

I agree with highbrow.

The birth of Ethan has, at first, nothing to do with the Others. Amy wasn’t pregnant until about 2 years after the kidnapping.

I think it’s more likely that Amy, at some point, becomes an Ohter… AFTER she gave birth to Ethan. She takes Ethan with her.

Wait, I’m confused. The only time we saw the Others attempting to have anything to do with Amy was three years before she was preggers. Are you saying that they kidnapped her, brainwashed her into becoming an Other, then sent her back to the DI to get knocked up by Horace?

cappayne, aye that is a plausible possibility.

Could someone refresh my mind of Amelia? I have actually no idea who that is…

My question/theory:

We know that Ethan is alive, now, and in 2004 when the losties crashed. We know that at some point Ethan became an Other. We THINK that Amy is Amelia that we see as an Other in 2004. We know that the Other’s at some point started kidnapping pregnant women to give them shots or whatever.

Let’s say that Juliet and Sawyer were never there at the beginning, so they originally did not save Amy. Who is to say that the Others, who are so obsessed with children, were trying to kidnap and NOT kill Amy. They took her to the Other’s camp and turned her into an Other, forcing her to change her name. Ethan’s name did not need to be changed as he was not born yet, but his last named had to be changed so that there wouldn’t be clues of him being Horace’s son. Maybe an older male Other had the last name Rom. Ever wonder why his last name is Rom, and not Goodspeed?

So this allows Ethan to survive the Purge as he is an Other from birth. Would it not be ironic that Ethan was in charge of kidnapping Claire when she was pregnant, when his own mother was kidnapped when she was pregnant with HIM?
