The Canditate is...Aaron

[ballsackers]

I didn't know where to post what I thought, so I put it here,
After watching last night, I have a theory of who Jacob's replacement will be. The remaining names are Shephard, Reyes and Ford. Everything seems to point to Jack, but, I believe it will be Aaron. He is Shephard blood, which would allow for his name to be on Jacob's wall. We assume that it meant Jack, but I think it is Aaron. Also, he is only the 3rd child to be born on the island, which makes him "special". The others tried to steal him in an earlier episode, which makes me wonder if Jacob has always been looking for another child to be born on the island. Now, Kate left Aaron with Claire's mom when they went back, then the Losties changed time, I think in the parallel universe, they are going to realize that they somehow must get Claire to the island, like she was supposed to be, so she could give birth to Aaron and he become's Jacob's replacement and stops the Smoke Monster.

Well, he has 31/2 hours to get to the island. BTW, in the Alt. universe, the island is underwater.

Alex was also born on the Island. And so was Ethan.

That would mean Jack isn't and never was a candidate, which strikes me as pretty ridiculous.

i don't know if aaron is the candidate or not or just how special he is to the story, but if we never see Aaron again, then i would say that we were fed a lot of time filler garbage along the way. Cause you just can't have such a good episode like season 1's claire centric episode,saying "dont let him be raised by another" and all that jazz and then never follow up on it.

Well I would say that this is a good theory because Claire was warned that no one else should raise Aaron except for her, which is what happened with Jacob and MiB, they werent raised by their mom and one of them became evil...So, maybe Aaron was a candidate if raised by his mom, otherwise hed go spoiled and be another MiB, which is not what everyone who wants to save the island(contain evil) wants.
