Dharma wants Aaron!

[ecw0930]

That's it!

Look, Kate was SOOOOO against going to Jail because "i have a child" as she put it. She JUMPED, literally, at the chance to NOT go to jail.

She went right to him when she got home! She was scared crazy for him!


Jack wont go see him, he's scared. Kate won't let her mom see him because Kate is scared. Jack is the only one that Aaron is "allowed" to see.


This is all because....

DHARMA WANTS AARON!!! Remember back some seasons ago, that's an experiment on the island. Pregnancy and birth. Remember, they TOOK Claire. Remember when we all thought they were going to take Sun (or whatever her name is).

It's obvious that Dharma knows that there was a baby born on the island and that Dharma is not "dead". On the contrary, Kate is so scared and worried about being away from Aaron because Dharma is still out there and they want to get their hands on Aaron and study, experiment and do whatever else they need/want to with the little man.


sorry if someone thought of this before I posted it....

any thoughts... any further discussion on where it might go....?

[heavensprincess]

I agree she is definately scared of something. Jack seemed a little put off about seeing him too..wonder what that is all about

[Rain13]

Who are you referring to when you say Dharma? Because it wasn't the Dharma Initiative who were doing the experiments on pregnant women and who tried to take Aaron, it was the Others.

[TuesdaySmith]

That could be true, but I didn't see Kate as scared of anything except going to jail.. If she went to jail, she wouldn't be able to raise Aaron. I don't see that as anything out of the ordinary to be worried about.

[ecw0930]

Out of the ordinary no. But she wasn't scared of going to jail, she was scared for "her child". When she got home she was soooo worried, but obviously he was with someone Kate trusts. She is scared of not being with Aaron herself. Of her not being there to protect him, not so much raise him, but be there...herself so the secret does not get out!

Maybe BEN is after Aaron, but I really think Dharma is. Those experiments were "left overs" from Dharma, and that was all about birth and pregnancy. It could very well be Ben though, but something tells me something BIGGER than Ben is after Aaron and Kate knows about it.

My theory is that there is something bigger about Ben, and somehow a deal is cut for the 8 survivors and the Oceanic 6 with that "bigger something" when they get off the island. Thats why Jack has to tell his story over and over again. They are blackmailed into it, into making up this story and sticking to it. Into telling a lie the rest of their lives......... and Ben is either against it, or with it... but either way Ben knows about it! And whatever Ben knows about is after Aaron if it's not Ben himself.

[TuesdaySmith]

Yeah, but she was scared for her child because if she did end up in jail, she couldn't raise him. It's not all that crazy an idea.. It's her kid (biological or not), and she wants to be there to raise him. Being away from her child for even 4 years would be a scary enough thought, without trying to add other things into it.

She had been in jail for the trial, remember? So, also, her going home and straight up to him would be something any normal mother would do.

no, you're just wrong. sorry. :rolleyes: They wouldnt have put it in that dramatically for no reason. And they wouldn't have had Jack tell "the story" on the stand in the same episode we find out it's Aaron for now reason. She would not have jumped at the idea of NO JAIL and she would have been ok with someone other than Jack seeing Aaron (her mom)..... but she's not. She doesn't trust her mom.......... she doesn't trust any but Jack. That is why he can see Aaron. But he's not comfortable seeing Aaron because he thinks of himself as a liability and does want want the reminder of the island and what had to happen.

I'm tellin ya... someone WANTS AARON! Someone is after Aaron. Sure you can be scared to go to jail, but not obsessively like that about Aaron. She never mentioned her house payment, bills, anyone else, just Aaron. It was blatantly obvious that Aaron is SUPER SUPER SUPER IMPORTANT! The rest of the episode was all about her NOT being pregnant also..... THE BABY IS KEY!

[TuesdaySmith]

I know if I had a kid, I would do ANYTHING to be with him/her. I would do just about anything for my little cousin, and she's not even my kid. And, nobody is after her.

What makes you think that she won't let ANYBODY but Jack see her kid?

I don't disagree totally that someone may want Aaron, but I do disagree with your reasons why. Also, if someone wanted him.. knowing how powerful Ben is and knowing he's off the island, don't you think they could just go get him?

[Rain13]

I don't know. I agree that Aaron is very special, but I think that if someone was actively trying to steal him, Kate wouldn't have left him with only that woman watching over him. Think about it, anyone who would want Aaron, whether it's Ben or the black guy or Dharma Initiative, would be VERY powerful and would have no trouble taking him from that woman who was house-sitting for Kate lol. If she knew they were coming for him, would she not keep him in her house with one single woman watching him? I think not...

Not if Kate is there they can't, because "she has one of the most recognizable faces on the planet" and "she's a hero" and everyone loves her. To get to Aaron would mean having to go through Kate possibly injuring her, and also letting out the secret of the whole thing..... too risky. Kate knows that her being with Aaron is CRITICAL because if she is there nothing can and will happen to Aaron!

I'm tellin ya, it's deeper than "motherly instinct". She shied away from Aaron eariler in the episode and admitted to not being good with babies. Of course she cares for him...... but it's DEEEEEEEEEEPER!

[TuesdaySmith]

Not being good with babies changes once you have one.. I've seen it happen a few times..

[Rain13]

Come on, you're telling me that whoever is after Aaron couldn't have broken into that house and overpowered that one woman without revealing the secret as to why they want him? Again, I think that at that time in the future, Kate is well aware of how powerful the forces involved on the island are, and whether it's Ben or someone else, she wouldn't think that Aaron would be safe sitting in her house in the suburbs.

[WhalerDO]

Dharma isn't after Aaron...the tests concerning pregnancies and the Island was because they were trying to understand why if you CONCEIVED on the Island you were unable to give birth and survive? Remember Julie tells the Sun that she's go, because she had gotten pregnant off the Island and why her baby is most likely not her husbands....and that is why Claire was able to have Aaron and claire survived, because she was already pregnant off the Island...the significance with Aaron here is more to do with how old he is in that last scene and the fact that Kate is calling him her son.

[Rain13]

Why does everyone keep confusing the Dharma Initiative with The Others?

[gilligan]

i dont know why but i think ecw has something. it showed Kate shying from Aaron on island to needing to be with him off island. i dont think show is about how one's motherly instincts kick in after taking responsibility of a child. it also seemed like she was anxious to stay 'in state' for 10 years. doesnt wanna go anywhere. no wonder she doesnt want to go back to island with jack as flash forward shows.

[LockeFan]

Also, don't forget in Season 1, when the psychic guy told Claire that only she could raise her child, and that something very bad would happen if she didn't. Maybe that will come into play. Maybe Claire knows or finds out somehow that the only other person who can raise Aaron away from the island is Kate.

Haha.. I was wondering that too.. Usually posts on here confuse me more than the show itself does.. I was just thinking about the guys in one of the podcasts.. they said something like 'if the fans wrote the show it would be a really amazing show.. and make no sense'...
