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

And on a LOOOOOOOOOONG shot - remember Hurley's "I'm one of the Oceanic 6" - perhaps the crash Jack is referring to is Post crash on island and only 8 survive THAT (indicating another 2 don't make it at some point because Kate stopped him from testifying). So what if the other two are Des and Sayid? Like I said...long, very long shot.
