Claire's Return!

Team Darlton have assured us that Emile deRavin will be back as Claire Littleton in season 6 and I've been thinking about how she will return. So, as I was crawling beneath the pool deck to remove the corner caps....well you just know where my mind went.

Here's a blazingly brilliant idea for you.

What if Claire is the new Jacob?

Now, don't start thinking that I've sniffed too much of the vinyl glue again, because I promise you I haven't been near it for days.

Think about this for a minute or two. That's all I ask of you.

Christian Shephard's ghost, or whatever you want to call it, lured Claire away from the people who would lead her to rescue. We've all been wondering why. What if Christian took Claire to a safe place (think temple) until it were time for her coronation as the new Jacob? If not Jacob, perhaps she has an important role in the up coming war.

Yes, yes, I know what you're thinking. Jacob never visited or touched her as far as we know, yet I can't help but find a tie in for the fact that there are two of Christian's children on the island. Not to mention Christian's essence (I'm not liking the whole ghost thing). The Shephard family has a connection to this island that we have yet to discern. Why, even Grandpa Ray seems to have a need to leave his rest home for something better. I have a feeling that they are as important to the island and the island appears to be to them.

Christian's children have been woven into Jacob's tapestry of the the island's future, both as individuals and perhaps as a family unit. Brother. Sister. Son. Nephew.

You didn't think I'd forget about sweet little Aaron, did you? I think his future will bring him back to the place of his birth. I'm just not certain when. I'd love to see the children of Lost reunited with their parents. Yes, I'm a sucker for a happy ending. Claire, Kate and Jack all need to be in Aaron's life just as much as he needs to be in theirs. Baby Ji Yeon needs her mommy and daddy, and Jin really needs to know the miracle that is his daughter.

I'd even like to see Waaaaaalt return and take his place in the family of survivors that has been created. And that is exactly what our beloved survivors have become, complete with their own style of dysfunction. I can almost see our Losties, arm in arm, strolling down the beach and belting it out at the tops of their voices on their way to the foot.....

We Are Family!

Ma brothers, sisters an' me!

Okay, okay, I changed the words a little bit. I'm claiming poetic license.

Did I mention that I'm a sucker for a happy ending?

Okay, I'm off to remove what's left of the old pool liner and re-rake and shape the sand at the bottom. Then I have to attend the Clone's concert. She's playing clarinet and I'm a typical proud mother. I also have to pick up the new liner, install it and start filling the pool before a wind comes along and ruins this one too. Oh, and attend a second, and final concert this evening.

Wow, looks like life is getting rather busy! But, I'm so attuned to Lost that I'll definitely be posting. I'm planning to re-watch all the episodes and post about my new thoughts and ideas. I have a feeling some of the things I see will have a new light.
