lol ok i get it now.. :P

i wander whats so important that the others want a infant so bad .. why they were takin kate jack & sawyer.. they the only ones still living in the hatch perhaps ......

The infant thing .... I think they want a newborn infant b/c it is not yet exposed to whatever it is that the vaccine shots are /were for ( that Desmond took everyday , etc .. ) ... the thing that infected Dannielle 's people .... the ones that died or whatever . Part of that experiment in the medical hatch , maybe ...... But , then , Sun is already pregnant , but maybe the others don't know yet .... Kate , Sawyer and Jack do know , as well as Jin . That's all , I think ......

Maybe Henry is really a relationship counselor who wants to iron out the tension between these three. (Half-joking here.)

perhaps kate, sawyer and jack posed a threat to the others. the others seem to be searching for "special" people. Hurley has a strange connection to the numbers and suddenly had good luck once he landed on the island, Locke's legs are suddenly not paralyzed- he believes the island was his destiny, Rose recovered from disease, Walt has special powers as seen with the bird in the first season, and initially didn't want to leave the island. The Others have a need for children whether it be because they are young and strong, or there's something special about them, but that will protect Sun in some way. Plus, she wasn't suposed to be able to have kids, but "the island let her". For each of these characters, the island has positively affected them as if they should stay there. The others think that the island is theirs..and maybe they believe that these characters belong with the island, with them.

Characters like Kate, Sawyer and Jack (well...maybe not Kate-i think there may be something to her but i'm not certain yet) are realists...same with Sayid and Micheal. The island hasn't done anything for them. They just want to live and try to get rescued.

I think that the others want the "special" people to live and join them and kill those that don't believe. This is possibly why they let Hurley go.

Any thoughts?

my take is that those three are the strongest, and the most in the picture, maybe the others think the rest of them won't do anything without those three.

thats really interesting lolily.. and makes sense in my brain.. a new way of thinking i havent yet some across, could be a definate possiblility!

theres definalty more to walt than we aready know.. i am almost certain of it.. things that die around him.. and those questions that miss clue was askin micheal.. about him being in two places at once.. very curious! Didnt walt appear in the road when micheal went to see him and thats how he orginally broke his legs back in the 1st series flashback? Therefore i think the reason they want children is a different reason from walt,i think he it special somehow.. strange&intriguing!

Jin did not have surgery!!He's not that dumb,to want children,and know he can't be a father...Dr.lied,said it was Suns fault no kids,as he was terrified of Jin...

The reason I think that the others took them is that the Others want Locke to be in charge of the whole island. Locke has always had sort of an attatchment to the island, a belief of fate in him. And when he was nice to Hengry Gale*, and Henry Gale helped him during Lockdown, maybe he shared the kindess of Locke with the other.. others.

And so, taking away the three strongest people of the 'tribe', they reduced the options of leader. And Hurley, I heard, is going to be gone in the third season. No idea why, but I think something happens to him. So then Locke is in charge.

Where did you hear this? That would suck if he were gone...
