New Stuff About Aaron Coming Soon!

In his comments posted to the discussion board thefuselage.com, one of the Lost writers Damon Lindelof, who goes by the name of "The Nomad" on that chat group, talks about the upcoming episodes for the second half of Season 3. He says: "The real fun has just begun. And we haven't forgotten about Penny Widmore. And we haven't forgotten about Locke's wheelchair. And we haven't forgotten about little Aaron. It's all COMING, baby!" ~~Saukkomies 24:02 18 February 2007 (EST)

Special child?

Walt is also "special", some kind of "psychic"... Does these two have sth. in common? --Raven66 13:56, 14 March 2006 (PST)

Pictures

Many people talk about the picture of desmond having the same woman that was going to adopt Aaron. Has anyone actually uploaded these pics? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cour002 (talk • contribs), 14:18, 12 April 2006 (UTC).

Small Changes

I made some slight changes to this entry. Most notably, Aaron's name: I changed the translation to something more directly relevant and correct, and added some links to wikipedia for further investigation. I also added a wiki-link to the Green Lantern comment, should anyone be interested in that mythology and how relevant it is to the Lost mythos. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lookup (talk • contribs), 02:11, 18 April 2006 (UTC).

photos of Aaron babies

I'm thinking of adding a table with closeups of Aaron babies used in various episodes. Usually the producers get 3 babies for any shooting day is what I heard, and that one older one was used repeatedly just because the directors thought it was delightful to work with.
Detailed info on the $10K Aaron robot baby model they use for medium and long shots would be interesting.

Random page

Is it just me or does "Random Page" always link here? --Blue eagle islander 17:48, 21 August 2006 (PDT)

Bootie found in The Staff

Am I the only one who was bothered by the fact that Claire didn't wash off that bootie before letting Aaron put it in his mouth? Especially since there was talk of a sickness? Eww...I know they had soap and water in the Hatch at the time... --Amberjet11 09:45, 31 October 2006 (PST)

Aaron's name

When did Aaron Littleton become Aaron Littleton-Pace?--Outpost road 11:20, 15 February 2008 (PST)

I don't think he should even be called Littleton anymore. With Kate "adopting" him maybe the page should be renamed to Aaron Austen. Kajillion 22:14, 21 February 2008 (PST)

We should probably leave it "Littleton" for the time being. Even if his name is legally something else, it might not be to "Austen" if Kate claims to know who the "father" is. Even when this happens, it might not necessity a change in the name of the article, just an explanation of why this character has been known by multiple names in the article.Vegan T-Rex about me

Agreed that his last name is uncertain at this point, so what about renaming the article "Aaron"? There aren't any other Aarons to confuse him with. Of course, if we did that there would be a lot of contributors claiming that Claire's Aaron and Kate's Aaron are two different people. What do you think?--Bonefishj0e 13:46, 24 February 2008 (PST)

Aaron's Age

Aaron was born in late 2004. This flash forward takes place prior to bearded Jack, which took place at least in April of 2007. Aaron would be less than 2 years old when the trial takes place. He should not be 3 or 4 years old. Why the descrepancy? Samhain99 09:37, 22 February 2008 (PST)

What I don't understand is how Kate is passing Aaron off as her son. She wasn't pregnant when she boarded the plane- Aaron was born 11/2/04, like a month and a half later. I just think this is further hint that some type of time weirdness is going to come into play. Surely doctors would notice that Aaron is at least 6 months older than he should be. Plus, Eggtown seems to take place 2006/early 2007, and it doesn't seem like they're on the island past early 2005. Seems a few years get lost... --Piscez 19:48, 23 February 2008 (PST)
- Prior to her capture, Kate was on the run for some significant amount of time. Other than the Losties, who would know that Kate wasn't pregnant when she boarded the plane? Also, Aaron looks like a child anywhere from 18 months to 3.5 years old. He doesn't look like a four year old at all. And then, of course, we have all the time anomolies... so who knows what the date is. It has been purposefully vague so far.

Aaron Littleton or Aaron Austen-Ford

It seems too obvious that Aaron at the end of Eggtown is Aaron from the Island. Judging from James's reactions, Kate may have been testing James about her pregnancy. If she is pregnant, she could name her son in honor of Claire's son.

It seems at least possible that Charlie is haunting Hurley because Claire and Aaron did not get off the island. Giving his life for theirs was the deal he made, and a dead Charlie could be a little upset if Claire and Aaron aren't saved.

I think the article should at least leave open the possibility that Aaron Littleton is on the island, and Kate's Aaron is the child of Sawyer.

We can leave the option open -- even though it is about 99.79% certain that this Aaron is Claire's Aaron.

With what we still don't understand about time and it's affects on Islanders, we cannot use approximate age and approximate dates to settle anything.

I think that they made it painfully obvious to us that the Aaron that Kate has is the same Aaron we know. This could go on the theory page, but I think that saying that there is another Aaron on the island is over-analyzation. I think they wouldn't have left us on such a cliffhanger to turn around and say "fooled ya-it's another Aaron." I say it's correct as is until proven wrong. -- Sam McPherson T C E 19:31, 26 February 2008 (PST)

It probably is Claire's biological son, but it wouldn't be the first time that Lost has pulled a bait and switch gotcha on viewers, so until it's confirmed on-screen, we can't be 100% sure or dogmatic about it. -- LOSTonthisdarnisland 08:53, 28 February 2008 (PST)

And here lies the bigger question ... Why isn't Aaron Littelton one of the Oceanic 6? The promos don't suggest that he is. And he would certainly be entitled to a Golden Pass and a huge settlement if he is. You don't think Auntie in Australia or Thomas, the biological father, wouldn't want a piece of that action. It is absurd to believe Kate, a known felon, would be allowed to adopt a child. (Jack Dutton 11:44, 28 February 2008 (PST))

Adoption Laws in the United States

It is against the law for Kate to adopt an Australian child.

From Mental Help Net:

The severity and length of time of past legal convictions (such as drug or alcohol convictions) is considered in making adoption decisions; any serious offense is typically enough to halt the process entirely. For example, no one previously convicted as a sexual offender is allowed to adopt children. Those who pursue domestic adoption with a felony offense on their record will face a long, hard road. Most agencies will not consider anyone with serious convictions due to the possible liability risks that the agency could face if harm later comes to the child. Those with a felony conviction will not be authorized to adopt internationally, per U.S. regulations. (http://www.mentalhelp.net/poc/view_doc.php?type=doc&id=100440)

No adoption proceedings would be considered until Kate's legal battles are resolved. Aaron should have been put in foster care or returned to his next of kin. His biological father would have been given an opportunity to care for him. (Jack Dutton 11:53, 28 February 2008 (PST))

Interesting stuff. It's hard to say at this point if the show is ignoring laws like that, or if there's simply another explanation such as Kate lying and saying she's the biological mother. There's plenty of material covering this on the various theory pages if you'd like to weigh in there. --Minderbinder 12:12, 28 February 2008 (PST)

Everything in the show suggests that Kate has not adopted Aaron. She has presented Aaron to the world as her own child. Dharmatel4 16:08, 28 February 2008 (PST)

Because he is really her child with James Ford. (Jack Dutton 11:29, 2 March 2008 (PST))

I just watched the 02/25/08 podcast and it confirms that Kate's Aaron is Claire's Aaron. -- LOSTonthis darnisland 02:08, 18 March 2008 (PDT)

Aaron Austen?

So, if the public view Aaron as Kate child, should a note be made that people call him Aaron Austen? --Phil (talk) 12:31, 24 February 2008 (PST)

No, because it hasn't been shown explicitly yet. That's an assumption. It's a good one, but it belongs on the theories page for now. When it is confirmed, it'll be added to the page. -- Sam McPherson T C E

Even if its shown explicitly, there is no reason to change the name. The article names should reflect present-time on the Island rather than whats shown in a flashforward. Dharmatel4 19:50, 26 February 2008 (PST)

I agree. -- LOSTonthisdarnisland 08:54, 28 February 2008 (PST)

Claires Aaron?

There is a chance that it is not even Claire's Aaron. It has not been explicitly said yet. There is just as much chance that Kate in fact did get pregnant on the island by Sawyer. If it was Sawyers baby that would still make sense as to why Jack doesn't want to see him. Just a thought anyway.Matthew7785 03:10, 10 April 2008 (PDT)

It has been confirmed by Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse in the most recent podcast that the trailer that ran at the end of the "Meet Kevin Johnson" which showed Kate, Jack, Hurley, Sayid, Sun and Aaron correctly showed us the Oceanic Six. It definitely IS Aaron Plkrtn talk contribs email 05:25, 10 April 2008 (PDT)

Really one of the ocenaic six?

Are we sure that Aaron is one of the oceanic six? if he is off the island, shouldnt Claire be off it too, unless she died? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nzoomed (talk • contribs) 18:24, 30 April 2008.

Yes, we are sure. Claire was pregnant on the plane, and the baby survived as Aaron. He has been confirmed one of the 6. -- LOSTonthis darnisland 06:09, 30 April 2008 (PDT)
It was confirmed in There's No Place Like Home, Part 1 that Aaron is one of The Oceanic 6Cgmv123 16:52, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

It's not claire's Aaron

If it is aaron in 4X04 why wouldn't Jack want to see him?i think that he is sawyer's(and kate's) child(because on the island the others taught that kate was pregnant(and she had sex many times with sawyer) when they sent the blonde chick to get the pregnant women), and if it is sawyer's child it makes sense why jack is not really glad to see him because he loves kate(that's what he said after the trial) and kate said to him that he will not go to coffee with him until he agrees to se him(the child) please respond. If so, who's the sixth of the oceanic six?because she was pregnant when she left the island(or is the child in her womb the sixth)? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Thealch3m1st (talk • contribs) 2008-04-30T07:29:51.

Jack and Claire find out that they are brother & sister, thus Jack doesn't want to see Aaron, otherwise he will feel guilty about his sister Claire still being on the island, or dead. --Lostie247 05:43, 30 April 2008 (PDT)

See plkrtn's reply in the previous section. It's been confirmed as Claire's Aaron by the producers. -- LOSTonthis darnisland 06:07, 30 April 2008 (PDT)

What Aaron Eats

I put these questions on this page and they were deleted. WHY? -- Cayzle

What does Aaron eat?
If Claire breast feeds Aaron, how is he fed after Claire abandons him?
If Claire breast feeds Aaron, how did Kate convince the rescue authorities she was the mother when she is not lactating?

UQ sections are for major mysteries presented by the show, not for viewer musings. Asking what a character eats is like asking where the characters go to the bathroom. It doesn't matter. All you need to know is that the character is still alive, so the character hasn't starved to death yet. If you read this essay, it might clear up for you the intended use of the UQ sections. Robert K S (talk) 08:32, 23 May 2008 (PDT)

This is known as suspension of disbelief. Its amusing that of all the bizarre things happening on Mystery Freakin Island, that anyone would question the baby food. Maybe there is DHARMA-brand baby food on the pallet drops. How cruel would that be? You drop a pallet full on mushed carrots onto an island where no one can give birth!

Rename

Since "Aaron Austen" is his legal name, and the name he is know as by the series current "now", I is a obvious rename. --Pierre 18:34, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
