Hello LOSTIES!!!
Well, well, well.......tonight's episode had some interesting turns in it....Once again we have a flash forward employed to cast an even larger shadow of questions...Let's start where we ended, with the reveal that Kate's "baby" was in fact Claire's baby, Aaron....also it's the "Him" Kate referred to at the end of last season's season finale, when she met Jack at the airport...
There is NO question that it isn't the same kid....who now appears to be around 2 years old?...I'm confused about the timeline but I'll give it my best shot:
They are on the island for 92 days or so....The baby was born about 30 days in, making it 2 months old, Island time....
They get "rescued" and Kate goes on trial immediately?? I don't think so...The fact that she told Jack that she's heard him tell "that story a dozen times"...that would mean some time has passed before her trial...let's say 6 months or so...That makes the baby less than a year old...which would put her trial ending at roughly 6 months or more later?
This is all a guess but I think the timeline is very important to the grand scheme of the story...because we know at some point Jack is going to grow a crazy beard, pop some pills and become suicidal....Matthew Fox indicated that that would only take a year and a half...so Aaron is a little less than 2 when Jack has the beard and is screaming about how he's tired of lying....so I guess it makes sense for now...
Which brings me to my next point: Jack perjured himself on the stand at Kate's trial....He said that 8 of them survived the crash and that Kate administered first aid and was a hero....We all know this is a lie but who concocted this story??? It had to be something they all bought into and it had to mean something signifigant to their well being for them to lie repeatedly...Are they being blackmailed or extorted or what??
I think this story will continue to unfold as the season wears on...but it still leaves us scratching our heads as to how Kate came about being the mommy to Aaron....What happened(or happens) to Claire?? We know she wouldn't just give her baby up...and we know Kate would never take a baby..she might kill an abusive stepdaddy but baby stealing doesn't seem like her kind of business....
Jack also lied about saying he didn't love Kate anymore....But then he got super weirded out about her referring to the baby and that he wouldn't get any "coffee" until he accepted the baby....What The Fudge is going on here?!?!?! I'm losing my marbles...I think the circumstances that dictated Kate getting Aaron are what's behind Jack's depression, suicidal tendancies and drug and alcohol abuse....For a hero and leader of men, Jack's a little off the ranch, you know?...Also, and he may not even know it or maybe he does, but Aaron is Jack's nephew, since Christian Shepard is Claire's father...from what we know so far, this has yet to be discovered by Claire or Jack.....interesting...
Then you have Miles trying to extort Ben for 3.2 million dollars...I loved Ben's reaction about not exactly being in the right place at the moment to make that transaction happen....
But that story will have to wait until Locke comes back and removes the hand grenade from Miles' mouth...DANG!!! That's some cold stuff!!!! But funny from a torturers perspective, I guess....
Last but not least, you got the case of the missing helicopter...It's apparently taking the long way around the island....It looks like next week we'll get a glimpse of what that's all about...One hint: It may or may not have to do with Time Travel.....just a warning...
On that note, I'd like to send you off with an interview conducted by Jeff Jensen over at Entertainment Weekly...There are some mild spoilers so read only if you want to know more about the show.....Like you don't want to know......

Just some weekend reading...again, DON'T READ if you want to be unspoiled....but they are kind of mild...nothing too revealing....I swear it's like some weird LOST angel and devil are sitting on each shoulder telling me to tell you what to do....very cartoon like...anyhoo...
Enjoy LOSTIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Later

A horse named Whimsy...
" 'The Life and Times of El Prez'....This should be a great read!"
HELLOOOOOOOO LOSTIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Once again, we find ourselves at the foot of another great chapter in the LOST saga.....Tonight's episode is entitled "Eggtown"....It may or may not be Kate-centric.....It may or may not have a twisted ending that will rival last week's head scratcher....It may or may not feature one smooth Sawyer and a box o' wine.....This bit may or may not be getting old....
After the last post, I was looking for something more whimsical to update you all on but with the serious dramatic turn that this season has taken, that whimsy is getting harder to find...however, if you know me by now, you know that I can whip up some whimsy...so here goes...
"Seriously?!? You WANT me to sign it 'Foxy' ??"
3 keys to a good time: Matthew Fox, roses and sweet, sweet karaoke....
Ok..that's all the whimsy I can manage....I don't know what's wrong with me...I gotta go out on a high note..
When asked how much time has passed from Jack on the island to Jack, bearded and drug addled, Matthew Fox seems to think the time line is somehwere around a year and half....So take that for what it's worth...I guess going crazy and pill popping doesn't take as long for some as it would others...
So to recap: Fall in love with Evangeline Lily all over again tonight..
"Eggtown", after a special Enhanced version of last weeks show, "The Economist"....
That's all folks....

The Orchid
Hellooooo LOSTIES!!!!!!!!!!!!
I submit to you today a THEORY. A time travelling, polar bear in the desert theory. What I am about to embark on is mind bending and scientific. It may be completely plausible or it may be completely plausible only in the world of LOST but it is a position that the writers which to take, therefore it becomes my responsibility to you to bring it to light.
Every week, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, the 2 driving minds behind LOST, host a podcast over on ABC.com...In these podcasts, they answer fan questions and expound very little on some things we may not have noticed or don't have full answers to and they shed a little more info on that particular item. Oftentimes they can be heard giggling like school children, either at our expense or at their own...either way, you have to sift through their ADD...well you don't, but I do...being El Prez isn't all wine and roses...
Anyhoo, this week they were asked HOW CAN THERE BE A POLAR BEAR IN TUNISIA? The desert of all places??? And especially a polar bear that's obviously from the DHARMA station, the Hydra???
Well, our creators alluded to the Island's "Special Properties"....They even mentioned that there may be particular places where these properties are stronger and therefore have displacement abilities...They didn't say "wormholes" but the allusion was there....The other thing they mentioned was the "Orchid video"....
Now the Orchid video was part of the Season 3 DVD special features....I have posted it below for you all to witness....After watching the video, I will try my best to explain WTF you just watched...
Now, after watching that I can only come up with the following points:
1. The #15 rabbit has in fact either duplicated itself or travelled back through time and space and has arrived upon itself....
2. The yelling of "Keep them away from each other!!!" signifies that if the same being comes in contact with itself, who the hell knows what will happen..an explosion? The apocolypse? Who knows?
3. This "doctor" has been in 3 seperate films, all under the names of someone different each time....remember the Swan film? Dr Marvin Candle. The Pearl video, he was Dr Waxman. This time: Dr Edgar Haliwax..this name doesn't show up in any google searches, so I would have to assume it doesn't mean anything more than it's just another alias....that involves candles and wax....
4. The woman in the background yells out that they "are still learning about"....and then it cuts off....so obviously this was new technology at the time...
Has Ben perfected it? Is this the reason for the passport and clothes and does it speak to his ability to get off the island?
The other part of this mystery reverts back to last week's point made by Daniel Faraday, the latest Island newcomer...He specifically told Frank to follow the same coordinates that they flew in on...Do not deviate!...This was interesting because it goes back even further to when Ben let Michael and Walt go and told them to stay on the bearing of 325....Was Ben honest with Michael about the bearing?
Is it possible that if you select a different bearing out of the island, you could end up in a different time? Could this explain the 70's style pimp suit Ben was wearing in the picture that Miles had? Is it possible that Michael went back to a different time? A time BEFORE the flight crashed?? Is this why Walt would now appear older?
I have to be honest with the last part...That theory comes from my good friend, DocArzt, who runs a very successful and informative LOST website of his own. The Theory was so good that I had to share, but I will not take credit for it...But boy! does it get the mind going or what????
That's it for today..I think time travel, wormholes and desert dead polar bears is enough for one night...
Later LOSTIES!!!!!
