Aaron is one of the 6. They wouldn't say "Well here's 6 adults that survived the crash, then there's this baby survived the crash in utero, was born on the island, then survived for 2-3 months after that, but you know he's not really a survivor."

Aaron is one of the 6.

the gun wouldn't jam twice. or the car crash could have killed him

I was torn on this.

Is the gun that jammed twice the one Michael bought? I glanced away when Tom pulled his gun on Michael, I was thinking that Tom had his own gun and that is the one that Michael took back to his room.

I just figured that The Others gave Michael a faulty gun, knowing he would try to off himself with it, when it jams on him, he believes anything they tell him about the island.

it's only a deckhand position, but I'd imagine if The Others are going to go through the trouble of creating a fake password, they'd give him a fake resume.

I think you're missing the point here - it could jam twice or it could jam 50 times.

Why?

Because it's a MAGICAL FUCKING ISLAND. That's why.

Well...what if Michael was pregnant and on the island, would the island still not allow him to die?

No, he'd die in the second Tri-mester(sp)

I probably have this wrong, but didn't they kill Tom on the island when hurley came to the rescue in his old 70's VW van? I thought that Sawyer lined them up and shot them out of cold blood.

it was a flashback... the scene with Michael in the hotel took place after Michael left the island but before he died. in the "present" time, he is (presumably) dead.

Anyone know, when Lost starts again next month, will it be a new episode every week again with no breaks and no reruns? or did the strike mess that up and we'll get reruns now?

Some of the others were killed by being shot, Sayid broke the neck of one them - along with Hurley killing one with the deathmobile - and Sawyer killed Tom as payback for kidnapping Walt.

Haha, finally they tie up that loose end! I mean c'mon, it's Evangeline freakin Lilly and she's naked in the shower, his character would have no choice but to try and jump her. I KNEW something was wrong :p

When he tried to shoot himself, the gun behaved just as if it were empty. He pulled the trigger all the away and there was a click. I'm not a gun expert, but if it actually jammed I think it wouldn't acted differently.

So if the island can stop you from killing yourself anywhere in the world, does that make the island.....god???

I was also just listening to the official lost podcast and damon and carton confirmed that the people you saw in the preview for the next episode are the oceanic six.

Well that issue is solved then.

Damnit, I don't wanna wait until April 24th for the next episode. I wish Lost was on tonight and they played the reminder of the episodes straight through.

From giantbomb.com review of the Lost videogame:

"Let me preface this review by saying that there was once a time that I was a huge fan of ABC?s smash-hit TV show Lost. I still watch the show week-in, week-out, though now it?s largely to ridicule my roommate, who foolishly maintains the belief that the writers aren?t just haphazardly piling one confounding mystery upon another, and that there will actually be some satisfactory resolution for all the muy loco goings-on in Lost. I watch the show, I hate myself for it, and then the cycle is renewed the following week."

= me

Good question. I'm guessing Ben's people at the Temple set-up an ambush for those two.

Thats my guess too. They could have easily shot her but didnt.

ben sent them up there knowing his people would follow orders to shoot anyone other than himself or his daughter. Earlier in the episode he had that look when the boyfriend but his arm around his daughter. He got the BF out of the picture without anyone being the wiser.
