Lost Finale: Charlotte
MILES: I’m surprised you wanna leave.
CHARLOTTE: Sorry?
MILES: It’s just weird. You know, after all that time you spent trying to get back here.
CHARLOTTE: What do you mean, get back here?
MILES: …What do I mean?
CHARLOTTE: I’m gonna stay, Daniel… for now, anyway.
FARADAY: Charlotte… there is no “for now”. If you don’t come with me, “for now” could be forever.
CHARLOTTE: Nothing’s forever.
FARADAY: Why?
CHARLOTTE: Would it make any sense if I told you I was still looking for where I was born?
What she said to Faraday in the final episodes, about finding out where she was actually born, came out of nowhere to me. But it shouldn’t be surprising to learn. Charlotte, since being introduced as one of the freighter folks this season, still remains a mystery to most of us. What her purpose is for becoming part of the team is rather vague. She was working on the deserts of Tunisia, when she learned of the wreckage and was dumbfounded about it. She was digging up skeletons of a polar bear there (a bear with a Dharma logo on its collar)…and those are the closest Lost connection we can relate her to.
So, who is Charlotte for the island? What about her past is part of it? If she was born there, does she have the same abilities as Desmond?
Some theories point to her as Annie, Ben’s childhood sweetheart although it would appear she’s too young to be her. Some even say she could be their daughter. Annie has the same red hair as Charlotte’s, which really doesn’t prove a lot but it does make you stop and think. An ongoing debate about Charlotte is taking place here, if you’re interested to join in the fun.
