Yeah, but it's the only baby we know of so far that was both conceived on and born on the Island--they said that Reiko was supposed to leave the island to give birth, which was probably the procedure for all Dharma births.
More Horus/Horace stuff, regarding the healing of the eye: Horace has glasses for the first few times he appears, but in later scenes has no glasses due to the healing effects of the Island.

He probably misses his old glasses.
BTW who is Reiko?
― Local Garda, Thursday, 5 March 2009 13:28 (fifteen years ago) link
Strangely, I just watched a DW Griffith movie, Orphans of the Storm about the French revolution. It had a character named LaFleur--sort of a henchman of the aristocrats.
― President Keyes, Thursday, 5 March 2009 13:29 (fifteen years ago) link
Reiko Aylesworth-- the actress from 24 who was in this episode giving birth.
― President Keyes, Thursday, 5 March 2009 13:30 (fifteen years ago) link
Ah I knew that's who you meant but didn't get the Reiko reference.
Why the fuck did the Others want that dude's body? Something to do with him having the Ankh necklace?
― Local Garda, Thursday, 5 March 2009 13:32 (fifteen years ago) link
kate is gross dood. looks like she smells.
― cutty, Thursday, 5 March 2009 13:32 (fifteen years ago) link
they wanted the body to appease their people. two of their men died and alpert wanted to show they killed one of the dharmites.
oh okay that makes a weird sense I guess. others sound like a bunch of angry savages.

x-post Actually they sound like the Israelis or the Palestinians-- "You broke the cease fire, now we have to kill a few thousand of you."
― President Keyes, Thursday, 5 March 2009 13:38 (fifteen years ago) link
don't think it matters who reiko's son grows up to be - he prob got killed in the purge.
― Roz, Thursday, 5 March 2009 13:43 (fifteen years ago) link
but surely the others broke the ceasefire by killing that dude. wasn't he dead as soon as sawyer saw them?
― Local Garda, Thursday, 5 March 2009 13:44 (fifteen years ago) link
oh come on, this is obviously going to be a huge reveal
True-- it sounded like Paul and Reiko had strayed into some forbidden area tho.

Yeah, they're going to show us a baby being born, not tell us his name right away, and then let us assume it dies when he's like 10 years old? Charlotte and Miles (if he's Dr. Candle's son) didn't die in the purge.
― President Keyes, Thursday, 5 March 2009 13:47 (fifteen years ago) link
the security dude down in the station who was dancing with the girl looked really familiar ... any idea what he was from? pretty sure i've seen the actor in some other movies or tv shows
― congratulations (n/a), Thursday, 5 March 2009 13:48 (fifteen years ago) link
i don't know, it's always been implied that horace was a father figure of sorts to ben - when the purge happened, it was horace's body that ben cared for more than his own dad. knowing ben, i don't think he would have taken too kindly to horace's son. xp
― Roz, Thursday, 5 March 2009 13:48 (fifteen years ago) link
by that i mean the actor looked familiar, not the character
He was the wheelchair rugby dude from Friday Night Lights right?
― President Keyes, Thursday, 5 March 2009 13:49 (fifteen years ago) link
wtf even if that baby does die in the purge they're going to tell us who he is, but assuming he's someone significant I am pretty sure he's not going to die in the purge.
― Local Garda, Thursday, 5 March 2009 13:55 (fifteen years ago) link
he's prob goodwin or ethan.
― Roz, Thursday, 5 March 2009 13:58 (fifteen years ago) link
oh yeah thanks prez keyes
― congratulations (n/a), Thursday, 5 March 2009 13:59 (fifteen years ago) link
really the only reason i don't think the baby's that important is because there's no male character left who's about charlotte's age or slightly younger whose parents we know nothing about.
although (drunk theory time) maybe the baby is Jacob? could explain why he's trapped in the cabin that his father Horace built. and if Jacob did order the purge, then that could tie in somehow with all the dad-killers on the show.
― Roz, Thursday, 5 March 2009 14:17 (fifteen years ago) link
I think Ethan and/or Goodwin look too old to be that baby.
― 2nd-place ladyboy (Nicole), Thursday, 5 March 2009 14:20 (fifteen years ago) link
Jacob is one of the only things I wondered about.
What if the baby is one of the Losties? This seems the sort of dumbass twist they might go for, haha.

"We've decided to name him...Paolo!"
― President Keyes, Thursday, 5 March 2009 14:23 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah and older charlotte's too young. she looked about two in 1974, that would make her 32 in 2004. xxp
― Roz, Thursday, 5 March 2009 14:25 (fifteen years ago) link
She takes care of herself okay
― President Keyes, Thursday, 5 March 2009 14:26 (fifteen years ago) link
lol Paolo, Boone, or Charlie.
I can think of one reason why Charlotte is younger than she's supposed to be in the future - if she left the island via the frozen donkey wheel, she could've skipped a few years.
― Roz, Thursday, 5 March 2009 14:30 (fifteen years ago) link
seems like she probably just left via sub though
― congratulations (n/a), Thursday, 5 March 2009 14:31 (fifteen years ago) link
where did the hot army chick go
― The Devil's Avocado (Gukbe), Thursday, 5 March 2009 14:44 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah, baby born in 1977 = 27 in 2004. I can't think of any prominent Others that qualify.
― Bianca Jagger (jaymc), Thursday, 5 March 2009 14:45 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah, that baby has to be Jacob.

funny. didn't the writers say that they were leaving all the dharma initiative stuff behind sometime around season 3? ha

― ice cr?m, Thursday, 5 March 2009 16:01 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah, and she's a Hostile, like Alpert. So if she's still on the island, she wouldn't be in New Otherton.
― Bianca Jagger (jaymc), Thursday, 5 March 2009 16:07 (fifteen years ago) link
looking forward to easy on the ear sawyer humour about them all having boring dharma jobs
eg calling horace "hoss" in the last episode.

Ben in Season 4:Her name is Charlotte Lewis! Charlotte Staples Lewis. Born July second, nineteen seventy-nine, Essex, England. Parents David and Jeanette. Eldest of three, all girls. She was raised in Bromsgrove. Did her undergraduate studies at Kent. Took her PhD in Cultural Anthropology at Oxford. She's here with two other team members and a pilot. Their names Daniel Faraday, Miles Straume, Frank Lapidus.
Charlotte doesn't contradict this information, so apparently she believes that she was born in 1979, even though she looked like she was 2 in 1977?
― Bianca Jagger (jaymc), Thursday, 5 March 2009 16:41 (fifteen years ago) link
it is confusing. she knew she had been there, but her memories were a bit fragmented, no? perhaps because of some sort of time-shift trauma?
― The Devil's Avocado (Gukbe), Thursday, 5 March 2009 16:43 (fifteen years ago) link
Unless 1979 is the date on her birth certificate (maybe manufactured by her mom?), but she secretly knows that she was born earlier:
CHARLOTTE: I grew up here...on the island. And there was this thing...this... Dharma Initiative. And then...I moved away with my mum. Just my mum...and...I never saw my dad again. And then when I got back to England, I would...I would...ask my mum about this place, yeah? But she would say that it wasn’t real...and that I’d made it up. That’s why... I became an anthropologist. To find this island again. It’s what...I’ve been searching for my whole life.
― Bianca Jagger (jaymc), Thursday, 5 March 2009 16:46 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah maybe mom said she was born whatever year they left the island
― Local Garda, Thursday, 5 March 2009 16:47 (fifteen years ago) link
somehow
even though she looked like she was 2 in 1977?
Actually, it's worse -- that was 1974. (Maybe it wasn't even her.)
― Bianca Jagger (jaymc), Thursday, 5 March 2009 16:51 (fifteen years ago) link
Seems like they're gonna be jumping through hoops to make all these timelines add up.
