As for Ben and the others being children of Kate Sawyer and Jack. Man, I just do not think so, from what I've picked up from this show so far is that anything that is not possible they will not do on the show, unless Damon and the crew believe in time travel. Also, I do not like that idea because it kinda just is weird, and a little too far fetched.
But hey, its an okay idea, welcome to the forums  |
So maybe on 9/22/04 when the plane crashed the losties time (to them) was paused while the time on the Island kept going. Since the losties were on the Island everything that would have happened to them happened (hooking up, having kids, etc). Now the island time and the losties time somehow meshed back together.
The fact that Ben said he had contact with the outside world really doesn't prove anything. We know his history which is a web of lies! It's not like Ben had a live sattelite feed for the baseball game. He played a tape for Jack. The question is... was the tape 40 days old or 40 years old??
BTW... I really like what you said... "from what I've picked up from this show so far is that anything that is not possible they will not do on the show"
Did you forget Season 1 Episode 1 where the pilot from the plane is ripped out of the cockpit, ripped to shredds, and left haning in a tree? Oh sure... that's possible... till you figure out the thing that did it was a little mysterious black puff of smoke! Oh and remember the one where the same little black puff of smoke grabbed Locke by the leg and pulled him into a hole in the earth? Seems kinda "not possible" to me.
