Official "LOST" Thread (TV Show)

I must stay away from the thread! I haven't watched yet! But I love spoilers!

I loved it last night. Ok, so questions. Jack, Kate, & Aaron are all together. Is this before or after his big downfall with drugs/alcohol? It seems like it is before but I guess you never know. Also, what did Kate have to do for Sawyer? I can't believe he stays on the island... Also, what the heck happened to Clair?? I have so many other questions but I'll stop here. Can't wait to hear everyone's thoughts from last night's show...

Last night's show was kind of momentous. After all the years of sexual tension between Jack and Kate the show's writers finally gave in to our frustration of wanting to see them together! But it happened so fast I was surprised by how un thrilled I was. I guess because you just know something is going to go bad there. I think that scene is before his melt down and estrangement from Kate that was shown on the final episode from last year. But remember, she had to get back to someone in that scene? If Sawyer didn't leave the island what could she be doing for him? I loved what someone said earlier in this thread that she's just LOST cuz, I feel that way too! I think they do this to us on purpose to get us to feel as LOST as they do!

yeah, I agree that the whole Jack/Kate/Aaron thing is pre-meltdown for Jack. You can see the beginnings of it with the whole disturbing convo w/ Hurley and him asking that Dr for a prescription near the end of the show.

I am really anxious to see how this whole thing unfolds.

Ok this is what I think:

This flash forward was post Kate's trial but pre-Jack's meltdown. It said in spoilers that we would get to see how Jack becomes disheveled and goes a little nutty. I think this flash forward shows that.

I think Kate is helping Sawyer's daughter. Remember that Sawyer has a daughter with that lady he conned. I think Sawyer stayed behind on the island but asked Kate to maybe take care of his daughter or look out for her in a way and she didn't want to break this promise to Sawyer, especially since she is caring for a child herself.

With regards to the flash foward where we saw Jack telling Kate that he rides the plane in the hopes that it will crash and Kate says she has to go get back to him...I think the "him" is Aaron.

I agree that the melt down with Jack is after his engagement with Kate. I am still trying to figure out whose funeral Jack went to a while back and no one else came. After last night I am thinking it could be Hurley. I could be completely wrong!

I am trying to put more pieces together so that I do not feel so confused everytime I watch!

I like the theories!!

This whole Claire seeing her birth father, who is also Jack's father, and then disappearing and leaving Aaron alone has really got me so confused. I know something obviously happens to Claire since Kate later has Aaron... but what the heck?
