Thank you for your thoughts.

Here is the latest LOST REPORT:

My Serious, Logical Thoughts on Something Nice From Home

Welcome to Something nice from home

TITLE
Refers to a remark that Bernard made to Jack just before his operation. Bernard is chosen to help with the operation because he is a dentist and maybe the closest thing they have.

ITS ALL RELATIVE
When Kate mentions her son after confessing to Jack about helping Sawyer, Jack mentions that Kate is not related to Aaron. Ironically Jack is related to Aaron. Recall that Jack and Claire share the same father. But does Jack know this? In this episode my feeling is that no he does not. Perhaps the ghost of the father of Jack will inform Jack of this fact. The ghost of Charlie seems to know stuff so why not the father of Jack? Jack meets his father at night when fixing a smoke alarm. One cannot help but see a slight parallel between this and a Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. The father of Jack is the ghost of Christmas past come to tell him the true meaning of Christmas – I mean the island. Look for more of the ghost of the father of Jack in future episodes. Eventually Jack will have to leave Kate because of it.

RAISE THE AARON
The message Charlie sends to Jack that he is not supposed to raise him meaning Aaron is straight from the episode Raised by Another in which Claire is specifically warned not to let someone else raise Aaron. But Kate is raising Aaron – not Claire. What will be the consequences of this? Will Aaron now grow up to become a world dictator? What fate befell Claire so that Kate got control of Aaron? Either Claire is dead, lost on the island or willingly gave up control of Aaron to Kate. The disappearance of Claire and the abandonment of her baby suggest that Claire has been abducted or has been entranced by the ghost of her own father. What mother would leave her own baby alone in the jungle? Claire would not do that so something is surely amiss.

SAWYER AND KATE
By the way, what did Sawyer ask Kate to do for him? Maybe Sawyer asked Kate to either look out for his daughter or to participate in some con.

MANY ARE CALLED, FEW ARE FROZEN
Notice that Jack says that Sawyer CHOSE to stay behind. This means that at least some of the LOSTaways had a choice in whether or not they stayed behind. I theorize that some of them had a choice but most did not, probably due to limited space on the helicopter. Also many of the LOSTaways probably do not trust the boat people after having found that Charlotte and Faraday lied to them. They might have thought that their lives would be in danger if they left on the boat.

REQUIUM FOR DANIELLE AND ALEX
I find the death of Danielle and Alex shocking – just shocking. And then to see Danielle buried like that. It was just awful. It does not mean that we will not see them again. I would still like to see the Danielle flashback episode. Also look for the ghost of Danielle to make an appearance. It could happen. Why should it not? Also there are some unanswered questions. What disease did the crew of Danielle have? I theorize that her crew suffered from the same condition as George Minkowski. He sort of became unstuck in time and without a constant ended up dead. That makes sense because if it was a plague why would none of the LOSTaways have caught it? But the ship of Danielle came to the island and we know that the two men from the small boat got too close to the island and became unstuck in time.

OTHER RAMBLINGS
What are the odds that Charlotte speaks Korean? Charlotte is a scientist, but that sure is an odd coincidence. From her interaction with Jin we kind of get an inkling of how it ends up that Sun gets on the helicopter but Jin does not. Jin also promises to save her and her child. He does not mention himself.

Much to my surprise several soldiers survived the attack from the smoke monster. I pretty much thought that thing was invincible. I would really like to know how they did that. Maybe they just ran fast. But that one guy was really hurt and needed to be carried. How did he make it out?
