LOST: Eggstown

I forget how much dislike Kate until we get a Kate episode and then I remember all over again. She's a user, liar, murderer, and thief. Can you tell me why the woman can't take a shower and change clothes? She's been wearing that same dirty tank top forever! Oh and how stupid can you be to not want to be with my gorgeous boyfriend Sawyer?! I just had to get that off my chest before I can begin.

First off, Locke is going crazy. This man has no clue what he is doing, but he's "responsible for the care of this island," so he is going to do what he has to do. I love it when he told Kate she had to leave and go back to the other side of the island. Ha ha ha

Here's what I don't get – why is everyone so shocked that Kate is raising Aaron? Amanda and I figured that out about 10 minutes into the episode. They obviously haven't been off the island very long, so enough time hasn't passed for Kate to have a baby. Sawyer isn't off the island with her - do you think that man would have just let her leave if she was having his baby? He would've gone with her, no matter the consequences, because he loves her. It was clear to us from the scene where Kate and Claire are doing the laundry and Claire asks Kate to pick up Aaron. Kate says she's not good with kids and she looks at Aaron for a long time. From this scene on, we knew Kate's "son" had to be Aaron. She doesn't have sex with Sawyer (hooray for a scene with him in nothing but boxers… YUM!) and she's tells him she's not pregnant. To me that means she was on her period. I can think of no other reason to not have sex with Sawyer. That would be the only thing that would stop me! We've been shown enough flash forwards to know that Kate and Jack don't end up together. So we knew Jate didn't have a baby together. Besides, if Jack had a baby, he'd see that kid no matter what. The scene when Kate tells him that he can't have coffee with her until he can see the kid shows that it's not Jack's son. He couldn't see Aaron because of whatever happened to Claire. He must feel guilty and terrible and just can't be reminded of all that by seeing his nephew. So the biggest question now is: What happened to Claire? I started crying when Kate grabbed Aaron and started crying because that confirms to me that Claire must be dead. That breaks my heart. I love Claire!

I did like the meeting between Miles and Ben. Ben looked pretty freaked out when Miles said he knew who Ben was and what Ben did and now he knows where Ben is. I love Ben being scared. One theory I've got is that Matthew Abbadon's freighters were sent there to get Ben because Ben killed their relatives during the purge. They are pissed and want some revenge. What does Miles need 3.2 million dollars for and why does he think Ben has that kind of money?

New Questions:

*Ben told Sayid, "Don't you want to protect your friends?" Are the friends requiring Sayid's protection Kate and Aaron?

*Why did Jack and Kate say there were 8 survivors and only 6 made it? Why even mention 2 others? Are Michael and Walt the other two? Did someone who didn't make it off the island make contact with the outside world, so they have to acknowledge that there were more alive at some point? Oh… Charlie made contact with the outside world!

*Does Aaron count as one of the Oceanic Six? If Aaron is 5, does that mean 6 is in the casket from the season 3 finale?

*Will Kate not go back to the island with Jack because she cannot leave the state of California? Will Kate actually stay in one place now? I can't imagine "motherhood" changing her that much.

*Oh and what does the episode title mean? Usually it's clear where the title comes from, but I don't know about this one.

*What messed up crap did these people do to get off the island? I don't know if I can handle a Lost world without Claire and Sawyer in it. I also don't know how the Oceanic Six are ever gonna be redeemed for whatever went down to get them off the island.

Next week, we get a Desmond episode. We'll find out what happened on the helicopter. Desmond episodes are usually pretty good. Here's hoping next week's is better than last night's.
