Maggers Wrote:The Others' camp being on the same island as the crash survivors was made clear several episodes ago. Juliette told that to Jack, and I think Ben's daughter told them, too. At any rate, that was no surprise.


What do you mean? How did he come to die? Locke threw him into whatever force field exists between the pylons that encircle the Others' camp.



Wow, how did you come to that? That's an interesting theory.


I was thinking things were begining to make a LITTLE more sense, though nothing is as it seems on LOST.

Maggers Wrote:If we remember the second season....In Australia, Ana Lucia was playing chauffeur to Jack's father; he had her take him to a house at night in the pouring rain. He pounded on the door and asked to speak to someone. I want to say that he actually said the name "Claire" but I don't know if that's accurate; I'll have to check that out. A blond woman answered the door. The scene was shot from a distance so we can't see who it is, but it's clear whoever it is doesn't like him much. She slammed the door on him and Jack's dad stumbled back to the car. Ana Lucia asked him what that was all about, but he didn't answer directly. She suggests to Jack's dad that maybe it's time to go home, back to America. He says no, she says yes. Eventually she gets on the plane and the rest is history.

From that scene, it was clear that Jack's dad had a history with someone in Australia, but who knew it would be Claire! I suspected it would be someone on the island and that it would be revealed in time, but I didn't think of Claire at all.

I enjoyed the episode. I can't wait to see Locke's backstory next week, how he wound up in the wheelchair. I suspect it must have something to do with his father. On the island, conflicted relationships with fathers figure prominently in nearly everyone's history.

Medusa Wrote:I remember that. I remember joking to my husband at the time that the "daughter" would be Claire. Wow! Last night's episode was great!

Lisa Wrote:Okay, for once I feel sorta smart. I thought it was blatantly obvious when Jack's dad went to visit that Australian chick that he was Claire's dad. The woman looked exactly like Claire from a distance. I actually was under the impression that it was an established "unsaid" fact that Claire and Jack were brother/sister. I was surprised to read here that you guys were surprised. You are usually way ahead of me.

See, all that Lifetime Television for Women viewing, it pays off!
