Pip., I'm not saying my theory of Danielle is 100% correct, but I'd like to see some proof of how it's 100% wrong as well. We don't really understand what the monster is, we never saw what happened to Annie, and we've never seen a graveyard of Danielle's fallen mates, or the ship she claims she wrecked. Until i see these, I'm not going to rule out that Danielle is Annie. Plus, why can't it be possible that Ben is the father. He still sems to care for her after all the things she has done to him... ratting on his plan with Karl to the Losties and giving a gun to locke to name a few. Maybe, the women not being able to give birth is a direct punishment for Ben being allowed to have a child on the island... who knows. I know brainwashing isn't easy, but I'd take that task over creating a 'smoke monster with brains and a plan'.


Sorry to jack the thread, I like all the ideas, and never gave much thought to Libby. I guess I will have to going forward.
