I'm probably pushing my luck with another question, but here goes...

We've been talking about this in the Claire threads and I know it sounds like we're nitpicking, but... doesn't Aaron look a bit... big for a baby his age? I doubt he still fits in the cradle Locke built for him.

I'm willing to suspend disbelief because he's adorable and I realize it must be hard to cast babies for this show. Plus... it's the Shephard family genes ;) Thomas and Claire aren't tall, but we can speculate about what grandpa looked like. (If the woman in TFTR isn't Claire's mom, I'm going to do my brother's laundry for a year. So don't leave me hanging, guys!)

You are right -- casting for a baby is difficult. There are practical considersations that sometimes just don't work with the story idea. But that's okay. Maybe the island makes the babies grow bigger and faster.

And I think it's funny you bet your brother washing his laundry about who Christian's daughter is. What if it's not revealed until season four? I hope he doesn't plan on waiting that long and has clean clothes to wear in the meantime.

Thank you! I'm leaning more towards the "practical considerations" theory, but whatever works...

Hence my desperate plea for a quicker resolution :biggrin: Nah, he'll hate doing laundry in two years time just as much as he hates it now. But I'm not worried about it, because he's the one who usually ends up doing my errands when it comes to Lost predctions. Silly man wouldn't listen when I told him Zeke and the gang aren't really island hillbillies or that we'd get some Sawyer/Ana hate!sex (called it months ago). I'd hate to be bested when it comes to my favorite flashback character though. *hint**hint*
