Lost Finale: Aaron, Claire & Kate
Is the baby, Aaron, going to grow up high strung or what? With all the things happening around him? Surviving two harrowing helicopter incidents, witnessing a freighter explosion from afar, the people around him all panicking and talking at the same time — It’s major trauma alert for the little guy!
And he doesn’t have a baby bottle and formula to replace his mother’s milk. And at his age, he isn’t supposed to take solids yet. So, who the heck has been feeding him all this time with Claire gone?
Should the situation change had Penny and Desmond taken him to safety instead? At least Kate’s “lie” about Aaron being her son wouldn’t have been so much more difficult to carry. As it is, nosy reporters are piecing the facts of her “pregnancy” from the flight back, to the day of the crash, to the day they made it back to mainland.
I do recall that very early in the series, in past seasons, Claire was warned her son must not be raised by “others”. And Aaron wasn’t also supposed to be with Kate. So, to which person does Aaron belong, with his mother apparently in limbo and presumably dead? Jack? The baby’s living blood relative?
Incidentally, Emilie de Ravin (Claire) will be appearing rather rarely in Season 5, as E! Online reports she has a holding contract with the series. The report first came out as a nameless spoiler, but it has now been confirmed:
A series regular who has been on the series since the first season will not be back next season (season five). According to inside sources, this person’s contract has been put into a holding deal and the plan at this point is to have him or her return for season six. It is not Jack or Sawyer. It’s a she.
Lastly, why would Claire appear to Kate in a “dream”, telling her that Aaron must never be brought back to the island, when Ben (and even Locke) all went them back? Don’t they play for the same team?
In the future timeline, Kate has been taking care of Aaron for what appears to be three years since they got off the island.
Tomorrow, it’s Kate, Jack & Sawyer next…
