Episode 4- The Little Prince

on my way home i walk into my elevator and press my floor 8. my neighbor walks in, presses 15. 815! YES. Time for Lost!

- did anyone notice that kate seemed as if she was trying to justify that clair was going to put aaron up for adoption.

- jack says again.. you are either with me or against me.

- charlotte's memory loss. Some are guessing that her problems might be unique to her as it's possible she was born on the Island. That was hinted at when she told Daniel that she was still looking for the place she was born. I've also seen some suggest that there is some significance to the fact that it's her mothers maiden name she cannot remember. perhaps something has changed enough that it has imprinted itself, or un-imprinted itself from her memory.

- miles says everything's back to normal, when it isn't.

- sayid out for 42 hours (number). 3 doses of horse tranquilizers. i tried to find out info on horse tranquilizers and humans but couldn't.

- ben is on our side.. only side he's on is his own.

- dr. clinical services? what was her name?

- who is the nurse? have we seen him before.

- they always ask 'when we are'.. not what year is it.. seems ok.

-charlotte says you don't have to baby me.. is she daniel's daughter?

- when kate is helping claire give birth she says the baby is all of ours.. obviously ben feels the same way!

- kate says sawyer is gone.. sawyer says what he saw was gone now. is this foreshadowing for sawyer's death? he is wearing a red shirt

- those getting bloody noses depends on duration of exposure to island.. these are the illnesses before the vaccination (desmond had to wear a hazmat suit but the losties were ok). since they are time travelling, they aren't exposed to the illness. also miles has no recollection of being born on the island (he's definitely pierre chang/dr. wickmund/halliwax/candle's son)

- ajira indian airline - ajira means island in hindu. check out the site. also, check out the date- first episode of lost!

- saw this theory on a msg board and i agree! Anyone think that the whispers are our losties? They are walking thru the jungle...WHISPERING...travelling thru time...could be they be the whispers we've been hearing? If not them, OTHERS travelling thru time observing & whispering?

- 6 people on the canoe on the island, and the oceanic 6.

- danielle called someone alex on the boat.. assuming this is the father of her baby (alex). interesting that ben says aaron is not her son yet he takes alex as his own daughter.

- why do they keep going between hurley and hugo?

- everyone always looks like someone else - i noticed that claire's mom looked like penny! there's also juliette/jack's ex wife/penny/karen degroot, sun/pierre chang's babymama, young rousseau/kate, frogurt/young charles widmore/carl (alex's boyfriend), woman who answered the door at theresa's house/butcher and so on..

- where is sun's baby.. did someone take her and is sun doing what she has to do to get her back by duping kate? she said to kate last week that she would do whatever it took to keep aaron. or maybe ben is going to tell her he can prove that jin is alive to gain her trust and get her back to the island.

- producers have said that it all goes back to the pilot episode.. looks like jack is in the same suit as when they land.. i think they will time travel back and crash on the island (perhaps in ajira airlines) but that the pilot episode is when it starts all over again.. time loop!

- when rousseau meets jin in the future does she look at him like she's met him before. because clearly she has 16 years ago..

- The Little Prince- published in 1943 by a French Aviator Antoine Saint Exupery. On December 30, 1935 at 14:45 after a flight of 19 hours and 38 minutes Saint Exupéry, along with his navigator, André Prévot, crashed in the Libyan Sahara desert en route to Saigon. by day three of the crash, they experienced audio & visual hallucinations. The essence of the book is contained in the famous lines uttered by the fox to the Little Prince: "On ne voit bien qu'avec le cœur. L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux." (One cannot see well except with the heart, the essential is invisible to the eyes). Other key thematic messages are articulated by the fox, such as: "You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed" and "It is the time you have spent with your rose that makes your rose so important. "

Interleaved in the first nine chapters the narration's point of view changes from third person to first person. In the first eight days of the narrator being stranded in the desert, the Prince has been telling these stories to the narrator. The prince asks the narrator to draw a sheep (JACK SHEPPARD!)

Chapter 16 begins: "So then the seventh planet was the Earth". On the Earth, he starts out in the desert and meets a snake that claims to have the power to return him to his home planet (A clever way to say that he can kill people, thus "Sending anyone he wishes back to the land from whence he came.")

In 1997, Jean-Pierre Davidts wrote what could be considered a sequel to The Little Prince, entitled Le petit prince retrouvé[8] ('The Little Prince Returns'). In this version, the narrator is a shipwrecked man who encounters the Little Prince on a lone island; the Prince has returned to find help against a tiger who threatens his sheep.

- saw an interesting theory online that makes sense: My theory is that the people on the island are suffering from the temporal displacement, although not in the brain, in the body. Their body is moving through time, but to them, to their brains it is still 2004. See? Its reverse, as to what Desmond suffered when his body stayed in 2004 but his mind jumped to 1996. That is why the Constant was so important. The O6 is the leftbehinders Constant. It makes sense. The reason they have to go back, is because if they don't, everybody on the island will die. Isn't that what Locke said to Jack? Everybody will die if he didn't return. The O6 need to return to put their minds and bodies back in the same place.

JIIINNNNNN!!! welcome back. thank god you are alive. and we are glad you are hooked on phonics.

i just hope we don't see michael again.

maybe im missing something simple, or maybe this is correct -

if the O6 have been back in the US for 3 years, and that is 'real time'... does that mean the leftbehinders on the island have been bumping around in time there for 3 'real time' years as well???

hmmmm that's a good point. i think so but i bet they don't know it because they are time traveling like maniacs.

"This show is about people who are metaphorically lost in their lives, who get on an airplane, and crash on an island, and become physically lost on the planet Earth. And once they are able to metaphorically find themselves in their lives again, they will be able to physically find themselves in the world again. When you look at the entire show, that's what it will look like. That's what it's always been about." - Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof, IGN interview, January 16, 2007

The name on the side of Ben's van, "Canton Rainier" is an anagram of "reincarnation."

ok- let's remember that when juliet came to island 1st time----she had to be sedated.......last night sayid was out of it on horse tranq's.....maybe they were tryin' to drug him to get him to go back to island & then that would be the reason why kate's name was in nurse/ tony's pocket.....coming to zap her next! only way ben could get them back.

There is the link between the time traveling and 4-8-15-16-23-42. If you consider the Island's time was 1996, when you subtract number '42' from the island's year, than the year changes to 1954, which was the exact year Locke met Richard. And when you subtract '4', the year changes to 1992, which was the year Ben annihilated the DHARMA Initiative. I kept doing this and found significant coincidence. Here's what I found out: 1996 - 42 = 1954 'Locke meet Richard in S5E03', 1996 - 4 = 1992 'Ben killed the DHARMA Initiative, 1996 - 8 = 1988 'Jin meet Danielle Rousseau', 1996 + 8 = 2004 'The Losties arrive on the Island', 1996 - 15 = 1981 'The Year the Swan(Or Pearl) DHARMA Video was filmed', 1996 - 16 = 1980 'The Year the Pearl(Or Swan - a little confused here) DHARMA video was filmed'.

Now that they are all unstuck in time the people who have lived on the island the longest are affected most by the temporal displacement. Charlotte and Miles were both presumably born on the island. Charlotte lived there the longest then Miles (who is Marvin Candle's son) and then Juliet who has only been on the island three years. It's easier for the people from 815 to cope with the temporal displacement because they haven't spent large stretches of time on the island only being there for a few months. It's harder and harder to deal with the displacement the longer you have been on the island.
I guess Charlotte could be the daughter of Horace Goodspeed, who brought her to the island when the Dharma Initiative settled there. She also looks quite similar to him! That's the reason why she's the first of them who gets the sickness. Miles arrived/was born on the island a few years later when his father (Marvin Candle) starts his work there. Juliet should be the next...

In Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's novella The Little Prince, the narrator, upon meeting the title character, is asked to draw a sheep. After many unsuccessful attempts, the narrator draws a box and states that “This is only his box. The sheep you asked for is inside.”(Magic Box)
MAY I REMIND EVERYONE THAT BABY AARON IS TECHIN'LLY A "SHEPARD"!!!!!

"CANTON-RAINIER" (on the side of the carpet-cleaning van that Ben and Jack were driving in) is an anagram for "reincarnation."
The immediate assumption is that this is a reference to Locke coming back to life, but technically, that is re-animation, not reincarnation. Note that when the time-travelers flashed to their own time on the island, Locke pointed out that it was "the day that Boone died," and Sawyer witnessed Claire giving birth to Aaron, happening at pretty much the exact same time.
I have no idea WHY we have any reason for Boone to be reincarnated into Aaron, but it's awfully curious that those were the specific two (and ONLY two) events referenced. (Locke once said he believed Boone was a "sacrifice the island demanded" -- perhaps to allow Claire to give birth?)
And to bring this into the realm of the completely absurd, "Aaron Boone" happens to be the New York Yankee who broke Red Sox' fans hearts in the 2003 post-season -- and we do know that the producers like to throw around Red Sox references.)
I do think there is a possible link between the life-extension project and the fertility problem. Maybe someone does, in fact, have to die in order to open up a spot for another to be born on the island. May also explain why people are so eager to kill newcomers to the island. Maybe the island has a maximum occupancy?
You forgot Aaron Boone's middle name.
"John" - Still think it is a coincidence?
