Better, but I still hold this belief that its isnt as much a matter as someone wanting anything, as much as it it something not supposed to be the way it is due to fate/destiny.
Someone being alive or dead, when they are supposed to be the opposite…course correction in a way by the universe…paradoxal elements, preventing any further human life, due to the fact that some one was alive that was supposed to die.
From there, the branches on their family tree, are just not universally allowed to flower, and if they do, the branch falls off, and dies.

OK – so we change the vocabulary of it. Jacob wanted Alex to die or Smokie wanted Alex to die. And because that didn’t happen – babies aren’t being born.

Does that seem feasible?

I seriously, through all the crazy things my mind makes me think f on this show, have a VERY hard time believing, that the island, ‘wants’ or ‘doesnt want’ anything.
I think many of the not being able to die aspects are related to timetravel, and maybe Jacob or Smokie want or dont want something…but I seriously think it is just an island…

I’ll have to go back and check exactly what he says… all I remember was Ben being all “WTF? You didn’t tell me there’d be a kid” and Charles was all “Kill it before it craps on itself and stinks up the whole camp” and Ben was all “It’s a baby, not an it” and Widmore was like “a bunch of dude and women who have never given birth have no chance of being able to feed that thing” and Ben was all “I’m lactating right now, the baby will be fine”…

I might be remembering it wrong though.

blakecomer, thanks for making me think more on this subject!

You are correct in saying, we do not know what Widmore did or didn’t know about Alex. But, I am pretty certain he tells Ben, “I told you to kill them”, if recollection serves me.

At least, I was under the impression Widmore knew!

We think Charles didn’t know about Alex. Who knows what any of these guys really know.

It’s not just babies though… Ben was sent to kill Danielle… Charles didn’t even know Alex existed…

Even though he wasn’t aware of it. But yeah, the island was going to kill her one way or another.

True, true. I’m not really sure — maybe you’re right. Maybe they just killed any child that was born. I think it is possible to say that Alex definitely was supposed to die as a baby, and that’s why Ben had to let her die in the 4th season — because it was her destiny.
