A mothers loss
Kate, oh Kate, what have you done with Aaron. People! Is that what someone looks like, when they know their child (or at least A child that they treat as their own) is in a safe place. Didnt Kate have sex with Sawyer right after she felt bad about Juliet and Jack? I love Dabs idea about Kate carrying Jacks baby, but who acts like that. She couldnt have seemed more delusional than if she would have called him Sawyer. Hell, I thought she was drunk at fisrt, and wouldnt even remember in the morning. But she did, ‘See you at the airport’, thats it, after all this time, once in the sack and’not even good bye..something is bothering Kate. It has to do with Aaron, and I do NOT believe, for a second, that Aaron is in any way, shape or form ‘safe’, at least from in a usual, everyday sense of the word.
Im going to take my own little leap of faith here, and say that she was acting like someone who just came from a funeral. Someone who knows the grief from losing a loved one, but also knows they are in a better, ‘safer’ place. And that place is’drumroll please’the island. Maybe not at this exact moment in the way you are thinking, but eventually. She abandond him, Claire abandoned him, Thomas, freakin THOMAS abandoned him. Please, dont think there wasnt some kind of connection there.Come on, important child who seems to be all the rage when it comes to who is to raise a child. I still stand by my theory. Some believe Ben is Thomas’s father. Some belive those people are wrong. I belive Thomas is Ben, yep, read my theory on it. Some people believe my theory belongs in ‘FUN’, which it is :] .
But I seriously think that is true and I think we are past the halfway point of finding out who Thomas is. His character is not gone, I wont believe it until the last episode airs and they dont show him again. Anyway, theres my rant.
Btw..Kim, If youve seen this before, its because I ripped it out of my comment in your theory.
It is driving me nuts and I didnt feel like retyping.
I have a serious Idea of what happened, but it probably wont be appreciated or liked for that matter. For a little twist on my normal theories, I kind of want to see if anyone is on the same page, if not, it may not be worthy of the ‘FUN’ section.
Seriously cant believe Im doubting myself, this episode just drove me crazy…so many things to absorb. Just feel this is most important.
Based on Kate’s “promise you will never ask me about Aaron again,” she either gave him to the wrong hands, or maybe the “[To Claire] You must be the one who raises this child” is playing out, or worse. I hope in 2 weeks time (I assume next week is based solely on Jeremy Bentham as the producers have mentioned that next episode and 316 could have been showed in either order and still made sense”
I think only time will tell. There are already too many mysterious about Aaron – and Kate for that matter – that would make it impossible to say exactly what happened to him based only on what we know from 316.
Very interesting, i like the Thomas being Ben thing. I dont know if its true but theres definatley something more about Thomas, a big question is why was Thomas’ painting in Widmores office in the 90’s and in Claire and Thomas’ studio in 2004. Even if its a print the connection and coincidence is very strange…
Also he does look a bit like Ben, but i think Thomas is probably related to Widmore meaning that he has a connection with Aaron and maybe could have aaron now..
We must not forget that Michael Emerson (Ben) was not even listed as a cast member when we met Thomas, so physical aspects must be put aside.
The Michael Emerson cast line is about the LAMEST evidence against this theory. I dont undersatnd the reasoning behind this defense. So THomas is just some guy, right? Happens to look a lot like Ben, Just happened to ….You know what, I have written a theory on this already. Bearer of the Crown”, read that and I will play there on this subject. Wasnt listed as a cast member….,,,,yeah they debunked time travel as well, that must mean theres no timtravel
I believe that Ben and Thomas is no coincidence (as nothing is), I guess that the writers did write Ben and his manipulations, so they could definately lie as well.
My two cents worth if you do not mind…
I am of two minds as to where Kate put Aaron.
My intellect tells me that she put him in a safe place (possibly calling in a favor from Clementine’s mother) and that she is being plagued by sepperation guilt (as any mother would) at abandoning her child before leaving for the island forever. I think that line on the SEARCHER where Kate tells Jack she is ALWAYS with him… reveals the depth of her love. She would choose Jack over Aaron and return to the island if someone persuasive tells her he will die on flight 316 without her there. So she does what Claire told her to do in her dream. She does not bring HIM (Aaron) back to the island. She finds a good foster home for him.
My heart, on the other hand tells me that the greasy lawyer gets Aaron and blackmails Kate into going on the flight. He tells her Aaron is already on his way to the island and if she wants to see him again it will be there.
Something bigger, the way she coomands him, makes him promise to never ask about Aaron again. That is past the mourning of abandonment, past passion for Jack. Why would she say that to him in that tone. She seemed as if she was crying all night. I didnt really know how to put this out there. But we never see Ben between all this happening.
Could have he made more than one promise?
Could Aarons safe place be with Desmond and Penny…wrong place wrong time?
Or could this be what Ben was referring to when he told Jack he could help with Kate?
That was a lot of blood…
Ive been waiting for someone to answer what they thought, something different. Am I that twisted, or could Ben have killed Aaron for incentive?
this probably wont go over well, but most of what I say doesnt. This was kind of meant to be the meat of the theory…and I was a little hesitant. So there you are that is what I think happened to Aaron. But remember, what is dead on Lost?
AES, I have been going back and forth with this whole thing about Kate and what happened to Aaron.
I think no matter what Kate did with him, she would be severely depressed, because she had centered her entire life around being a mother. A good mother!
But, I am also skeptical after reading some other ideas of what happened to Aaron.
Whatever Kate did, she is somebody who will never find resolution. Logically speaking, if she had left him with someone who would provide a good life for him, she would be sad, but content, knowing he was safe.
This indicates, he is not safe, in her eyes!
I suspect, whatever happened, Kate is diametrically opposed to the outcome.
I don’t think Ben would have Aaron killed. You know, killing babies, would be so sordid and all.
But, if Kate handed Aaron over to Ben, regardless of knowing who ended up caring for him, I could see her being completely devastated.
She is the last person who would trust Ben.
Perhaps, Ben’s words, were a little more literal than we all thought, initially.
Perhaps, Ben chose where and with whom Aaron would go. And, maybe Kate doesn’t know the ‘who and the ‘where’. Maybe that is why she is so devastated.
Because, she doesn’t know what fate belies Aaron, and knows she will never know. And, she knows that as Jack is Aaron’s uncle, he may never forgive her.
That would be a double tragedy of sorts.
I will go out on a limb and say, why not Thomas. He is Aaron’s father!
Thanks for always making me think!
heaven is a safe place that people would still be sad to see anyone they care about go. Aaron is not safe. Aaron is not alive. Kate, I actually for once, dont think did anything. There is no way to convince me that Aaron is alive and well. None.
Btw..Dabsi, Im not stabbing at you. This is a crazy theory of mine and Im just in SELL mode. I want people to believe this. What a better episode to have Kate talk about Aaron like this, after everyones favorite bible school class “Biblical stories by Ben”. I will say…I dont like to turn my back on my theories, not in good “faith”, but if the story of Thomas ben told was foreshadowing/allusion of some sort pointing to Thomas back in the picture, I wont be devastated. Although my crediblilty as a decent theorist may go up in the air. Next thing you know, religion will disapear on Lost and there Ill eat my hat.
You know Im joking, Im wrong every week ;]
You’re usually more right than you are wrong, so I am at least going to considerate it!
I’m pretty sure we will find out, next week! Or, at least I’m hoping we will. They’d better not cliff-hang on this one!
I am starting to believe in the show, on a level that they are quickly running out of time to explain everything. I think they are ready.
Weird, for a few seasons, I wouldnt miss the show for the world. But I had a kind of defense mechinism up, where I was just prepared for more questions and no answers.
I love the way it is finally starting to play out.
I’m loving the show more than ever! I am satisfied with the answers they are providing us with.
I guess I was somewhat apprehensive that things might not play out in a way that would be satisfying, but they have really got me excited!
All of the crazy things, I’ve thought about over these last seasons, seem to be playing out, in an amazing way, and then some!
My mind is open, to whatever they throw our way!
Thank you. People seem to just miss the little mystery answers.
Whos idea was it to say Aaron is Kates?
The SHOES, people talked about Pappy Shepard, but they told us why Christian was wearing white tennis shoes! That is something that is huge to me. Could I actually be right in saying that Christian was prepping Jack for his destiny?
I always say I love the irony. The one thing Jack is just to neglectful and hateful of his father to take the time to get the man his shoes, just happens to be what helps them return to the island and thus resurecting John, possibly the way Christian was!
That is irony! Seems like daddy did know best!
The one thing niggling me is the connection with Jack’s grandfather!
His magic shows. It was a direct reference to illusions. As was the name on Rousseau’s boat too.
So, what I am trying to figure out, is what is so illusory? We are missing a key!
