Amy should have died, and she should have never gave birth to her son. We'll see, if there is any "course correction". Of course I might be wrong and it was unevitable that someone saves her life from the "others". It was definitely a nice episode. Even though I like Daniel, it was great to see him moving to the background, and Sawyer becoming the main character in the Dharma Initiative. Well balenced episode, even though I am a timetravel maniac, I loved this "quiet" episode. Good atmosphere, great play by the actors. Sawyer's character is loveable he became a hero from a con-artist. I was a Skater, now I am a Suliet fan :-). Good job.

What if it's apparent destruction is related to the lack of fertility among the women on the island? I suppose Amy's son could be Jacob but on the topic of Egypt the ankh that Paul had is a sign of rebirth and continued life. That could mean his body then Christian's then possibly Claire's become vessels for Jacob to continue his life, thus being reborn. I do think that the fact that Horace built the cabin is important though. I like that thought about the four-toed statue being the egyptian god of fertility.

If Jacob is much older than people realize, then perhaps they needed his body as a new vessel to hold his essence, spirit, soul, etc. Could explain Christian as well." Very good point. This could mean that now Locke is back on the island, he is infact Jacob. BaronTR:

Damn, I feel weird!!! It's so senceless seeing Juliet and Sawyer together *goosebumps* It's, it's... Freaking! It's not fair! I hope Kate and Sawyer get it together again, I don't care about Jack or Juliet. Maybe I'm cruel but that's how I feel. And about the four toed statue - probably it's Anubis'. He's the one who waits for the souls in the world beyond. The symbol that we saw on Paul's neck is used for dispatching the dead, its function was protecting them after death. And that's what the island is - another hidden world, a mystery... I think Amy's baby is Jacob. You remember Cabin Fever? Where Horas was building a house for him and his family? Jacob lives or at least stays in the cabin that was built from his father for him, it's logical. However, I will suffer next week without Lost... And I'll suffer seing more of Sawyer and Juliet...

The hair, the ears, the way it has one foot forward and is gripping objects - all very typical features of Egyptian statues. That ties in with the heiroglyphs around the island, and also with the Ankh necklace Amy kept in her drawer. I wonder if the ancient Egyptians had access to the island. If they did, DHARMA is clearly aware of it, and uses some of their iconography. Someone above mentioned the well being filled in. I'd guess that prior to DHARMA the well reached down to the wheel, just as they found it when Locke descended into it. That was probably pre-70s. Either DHARMA or somone else then sealed it intentionally, such that by the time of the Orchid the elevator was the only method of accessing it. One interesting thought: when Locke broke his leg and found himself with Christian and the wheel, that was in the same time period as when the others found the well absent, and Miles noticed the statue in the distance. This means the wheel chamber existed in that time. The statue is clearly Egyptian in style.

If you are interested in backgrounds about the characters and more information on the DI then you need to do some research.

They have seen proof of crazy stuff goin down...Locke himself was in a wheel chair...I think the reason they aren't asking questions is because who would they ask them to? and they are probably used to the crazy stuff by now...and when they try to ignore it, it comes back after them....I mean come on!

The statue is of Sobek, the Egyptian God of Fertility. Look it up!! here are some things I found: - It was believed that on the day of creation, Sobek emerged from the "Dark Waters" in order to arrange the world. (hmm... sounds familiar) - In Egyptian Art, Sobek was depicted as an ordinary crocodile, or as a man with the head of a crocodile. When considered a patron of the pharaoh's army, he was shown with the symbol of royal authority - the uraeus. (Left hand) He was also shown with an ankh (right hand), representing his ability to undo evil and so cure ills (Locke??). - He was also said to call on suitable gods and goddesses required for protecting people in situation, effectively having a more distant role, nudging things along, rather than taking an active part (getting people where they need to be) Also, when they see the statue, the well isn't there yet, so they must have been really way back in time. And as for the time period they are in now, it would have to be the mid to late 80s. When Dan see's Charlotte she looks to be around 3, and she was supposedly born in 1979. But she could have been born earlier... I also don't think the new born boy is Jacob, because Jacob was in charge in the early 50s. I have a theory that all the people that go to the island, in all the different times and vessels, are all proxies... maybe for the Black Rock... just one big loop, with different people in the same roles each time.

I was wondering the same thing BaronTR about Paul's body, that and Olivia. I cant wait to find out who Amy's baby is! What I thought was odd after thinking about it a bit was that when Richard meets Ben as a kid he is dressed all shabby with the longer hair and all the times we see him before that he is all clean cut, I guess he could just be disguised the way the others typically disguised themselves but I just thought that was odd.

The writers keep adding these storylines that are backed up by nothing. It seems like none of the characters are really aware or care about how bizarre of a situation they are in. Why does John Locke need to die in order for the Oceanic 6 to come back to the island? Why do they need to come back to the island to save the others? Why do none of the characters ask any questions? I mean, we havn't even really gotten a clear answer on what The Others were dong on the island, and Juliet is one of them. Why dosn't she tell them in detail who exactly The Others are, what they were doing on the island, and all the details that she knows about the island. Why don't the rest of them try to get more answers from her. Who are the Dharma initiative? Its obvious that they are doing research and stuff, but I just find it really strange how Sawyer and people don't just ask them wtf is going on? It seems like none of the characters care about getting answers anymore. This show is pissing me off. I have to say that Lost is making less and less sense every episode.
