and as i still think aaron counts as one of the six, i'd say only sun gets rescued and michael's in the coffin, using the name john lantham to hide who he is...

interestingly, john latham was an artist who developed a theory called "flat time"... remember, folks that in lost, names mean something. oh... and the wikipedia is our friend.

I did forget about the dead person in the coffin being a man but I don't ever remember hearing that the name was john latham. Didn't the newspaper jus say that a man died at 4am on April 5th?

Okay after reading all the theories I will revise what I think.

I still believe it is Michael in the coffin. What Iâ��m not sure of is he one of the six?? Suicide fits in with Michaelâ��s past guilt and with Walt not with him makes sense.

If he was one of the six then the death notice would have been a full media circus so if my theory is right that he is the one in the coffin then he isnâ��t one of the six.

Iâ��m not sure if Aaron could be classed as a survivor as he wasnâ��t born when the plane crashed so I will leave him off my list.

My new list

1. Jack ( confirmed)
2. Kate ( confirmed)
3. Hurley ( confirmed)
4. Sayid ( confirmed)
5. Desmond
6. ??? I donâ��t have a clue really at a guess possibly Sun or Aaron

i would have guessed that the dead man is Locke.

leaving the island (possibly UNwillingly) and finding himself back to being the same old loser he was before the island could cause him to kill himself. . .not hard to imagine that Kate wouldn't want to go to HIS funeral.

John Latham?

John L.

:o)

just a thought.

Copied from "//lostpodcast.proboards2.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1180339547" member: danieladamsmith.

I am sure everyone has been to Lostpedia already and seen this but. A John Latham survived by a teenage son. The funeral is basically "In the Hood". That doesn't mean the JL is African-American or the JL is John Locke. Although one argument is that Michael changed his name, another is that Locke's original name may be Latham, but when did he get a teenage son.

I am beginning to theorize that the JOHN LATHAM is someone we have yet to meet. John Latham committed "suicide". Was he murdered? Did he know something so distressing that he had to end his life?

We know JACK is JACK SHEPPARD, so he didn't have to change his life or career or name when he got back. Perhaps there is an argument for Kate changing her name.

I guess the John Latham mystery will be integral to next season or perhaps the season 4 finale.

Good point !! guess I'll stop guessing and wait for the next episode or clue? you gotta love a TV show that makes you spend so much time thinking about it.

The producers have confirmed that the person in the coffin is someone we have met, when I find where I read that I will post it

Some more distant time frame references for Lost //tviv.org/Lost/Timeline

Some things there about Rousseau
16 Years, 7 Months BPC 1988 Danielle Rousseau's team, lured by the numbers transmission, shipwrecks on the island. 1x09 - Solitary
16 Years, 5 months BPC 1988 Rousseau's team becomes sick after returning from the Black Rock. She kills them all. 1x09 - Solitary
16 Years, 5 Months BPC 1988 Rousseau changes the numbers transmission to a distress call. 1x02 - Pilot (2)
16 Years, 5 Months BPC 1988 Rousseau gives birth to a daughter, Alex.

So is it impregnation that is an issue if it happens on the island then? Since Claire and Rousseau gave birth, I assume so. So if Kate IS pregnant, then what does that mean?
And Sun IS pregnant too.

Yes, the important part is if you become pregnant ON the island. Then you die. Juliette told us that in episode 318 "D.O.C" (Date Of Conception).

I think Charlotte knows this as well, somehow. Remember how she was curious as to whether Aaron was born on the island?

I really hope they tie up LOST in a satisfying way, with no `cliffhangers` and most of the questions answered, I am not sure they will be able to do that now unless they start throwing us a bone pretty quickly.

As much as I aint doing challenges at the moment, a LOST challenge, whilst quite exclusive to those who watch it, would be fantastic.

Or even expand the challenge to include any made for TV drama / action / sitcom. One challenge could be current and the other classic.

Sorry - had to interject my 2cents.

Back to LOST ...

Micheal is not John Latham (guy in coffin).

the Micheal-centric episode coming up is called 'meet kevin johnson', i guess thats the name he chose for himself!

i wouldn't even like to guess who Latham is.

my guess for the two remaining survivors??... i'm still saying its the koreans.

Don't let technicalities force you to rule everything out.

I think that Aaron could very well be counted as one of the Oceanic Six. Think about it from a media point of view. Don't get so technical with the whole "his name wasn't on the manifest" thing.

Five adults and a baby come back from the dead, the media is gonna call them "The Oceanic Six." If it's six adults and a baby, it's gonna be "The Oceanic Seven" not "The Oceanic Six...and some kid that one of them had while they were missing."

Heck, I think the media would lump Desmond in with the Oceanic Six. The story would tell of five crash survivors that were rescued along with another person stranded on the same island. Six people rescued, the media is lazy, they'd be lumped together as "The Oceanic Six," not "The Oceanic Five and Some Guy Who's Not Important."

Well, we'll probably find out next week who is right.. ;)

(also, this whole show (atleast the fans) is all about the technicalities, the writers/producers know the fans scrutinize EVERY little thing, so I'm sure they are betting on these debates, that's why it was so cryptic in the show, we're supposed to speculate)

BTW

i'm not crazy about the "enhanced episode" that they are showing before the new episode. some of the trivia is neat, but save it for the DVD!

it's too Pop Up Video for me.

if there's anyone out there who still remembers Pop Up Video i will be totally amazed.

:o)
