Talk:Alexandra Linus

› Well, I don't know about that. I do believe Alex is a female. I do however think that the name of this character should stick to the storyline... and Alexandra is not their name, it is Alex. You may imply her full name being Alexandra, but seeing as this is a factual encyclopedic site, we need to stick to the facts.

› I don't know why but i always assumed Alex was a boy, so it's strange to hear everyone refering to him/her as a girl.

› I believe these are just predictions, Alex is a multigenre name, it can be a boy or a girl, we cannot say clearly! Danielle Rousseau NEVER said anything like "her" or "him", she always mentions Alex as "My baby", so we CAN'T be so sure, if it's a boy or a girl!

› I personally think Alex is a boy. In episode 11 os Season 2, The Hunting Party 'Zeke' calls for Alex to hand Kate over to him. I tend to think you wouldn't ask a 16 year old girl to hold a fully grown woman, whereas a 16 year old boy would be perfectly capable of it.

› ::WTF? Look at the picture. Alex is female, end of story. And obviously, Alex wasn't restraining Kate therough physical force--she couldn't. C.m.

› Tania Raymonde may be playing Alex in Maternity Leave.

Hanso's illegitimate daughter

It's posted in the "Theories" section that Alex may be the "love child" of Danielle Rousseau and Alvar Hanso. To me, that is completely baseless, not to mention absurd. But, I don't want to take it upon myself to delete a theory that, however bizarre, has not actually been disproven. What does everyone else think? --Miss Mary Mack 12:45, 20 June 2006 (PDT)

Alex is female

Rousseau says in Season 1 Episode 23:

The others are coming. Our ship went aground on this island 16 years ago. There were 6 of us... my team, 6. At that time I was already 7 months pregnant. I delivered the infant myself. The baby and I were together for only 1 week when I saw black smoke... a pillar of black smoke 5 kilometers inland. That night they came they came and took her... Alex. They took my baby. And now, they're coming again.

--Joseph 17:25, 22 February 2006 (PST)

Furthermore, Alex is a multi-gender name. Alexandra is not.

• She is a 'Related Character' - related to Danielle Rousseau.    Jabberwock    talk    contribs    email  

Alex Cannot Possibly be the girl on the hanso site!

i am sorry but if this is the image that is being discussed this looks nothing like Tania Raymonde, especially the age

can i remove the silly comment?

Added my theory abouth the others knowing her name

If this Alex is indeed Danielles daughter Alex then how come the others know her name? According to Danielle she was a week old when she was taken from her, and considering the place she was born I find it hard to think she could have been for example wearing something with a hint to her name. Unless of course the Danielle was present when they took her and she might have been yelling out her name, but then again why would she had let complete strangers come near her baby? So my guess is that Danielle is somehow connected to the others, maybe the theory about Zeke being Robert is true.

• Or, she had the baby in the Staff station, named it, then they Others took her baby... Rousseau is none too sane. I'm not sure I would necessarily believe her 1st season contention that she has not seen the others, just heard them.--Isotope23 07:51, 26 May 2006 (PDT)
• Given that the others were able to gain intelligence on the 815 survivors (their names, etc.) it's likely that they were monitoring Rousseau and her group in the same way. And as for Rousseau letting strangers near her baby... It's not as though Claire or Charlie let themselves be abducted. Abducting a week old baby from a post partum mom (who likely did not have medical treatment during or after giving birth, and so was probably not in fantastic physical shape) would not be particularly difficult. --Cleast 12:22, 31 May 2006 (PDT)

Indeed, I mean, we saw it happen basically, though not with Rousseou. Remember during ExodusII when Aaron is taken? Rousseou did not just snatch it, she approached her and stuff, then knocked her out. The Other's could have done something similar, though asking "Does she have a name yet?". But what we DO know is that Rousseou delivered the Baby alone.

• I'm starting to think that we have been a bit too quick to trust Danielle. I mean, she does come out as a bit crazy herself, doesn't she? What if she got it all backwards, and it was her that got the illness and turned crazy, forcing the Others to save Alex, and not the other way round? --Noseman 2006 21:25, 11 November 2006 (CET)

Alex ___??

Where has it been confirmed in the show or by the producers that this is Danielle's Alex or are we just assuming?

• the producers said in a podcast that the arm in The Hunting Party is in fact alex rousseaus arm , so i think its confirmed. --Cool Man 0912 15:00, 12 June 2006 (PDT)

is alex the rousseau`s daughter?

how could be sure of this? only for the name? we watched a lot of name coincidences on the show... for the age?...... it could be another coincidence.. i don`t sure about this fact considered so clear by everyone...

pd: sorry for my english..

• Alex's eyes are the same color as Danielle's baby.--CaptainInsano
• This is by no means hard evidence, but there's a nice bit of story resonance in having Alex rescue Claire from the medical station if Alex is in fact Rousseau's daughter and was taken from her there all those years ago.
• I think its more than likely that Alex is Danielle's baby put its very plausable that she isn't. Darn L.O.S.T writers refusing to directly explain everything. Princess Dharma

Theory

New Theory (At least for me): Alex is a lesbian! She grabs Kate's breasts as she lifts her.--LOST ON CRAPHOLE ISLAND!!!!! 14:05, 3 October 2006 (PDT)

How old are you exactly? Grow up. -- Plkrtn  talk  contribs  email  14:07, 3 October 2006 (PDT)

Was Alex looking for Karl?

Was Alex the girl talking to Kate at the rock-digging site or not ? I didn't think so but Carodeluxe does. The girl talking to Kate looks older to me. Kate asks who she is, apparently not recognizing her from the Pala Ferry crew. --Mramsey 19:47, 11 October 2006 (PDT)

It's definitely Alex. I could recognize her anywhere. --Marik7772003 19:51, 11 October 2006 (PDT)

Then the theory that Karl is an Other is strengthened. He may be a reluctant one, though, like Alex. --Mramsey 19:55, 11 October 2006 (PDT)

Disjointed Article

The theories text starts below the infobox, I was wondering if anyone could clear this huge gap. I always get that effect when I try infoboxes, so I can't do it. --The Smiley-Faced Balloon 02:09, 4 November 2006 (PST)

Voice on the intercom?

Are we positive that the voice on the intercom leading Jack to the control room was Alex? It could have just as easily been Juliet, with the static and everything. -BearDog 15:11, 9 November 2006 (PST)

• I agree. I'm moving this to Theories until we have confirmation.--The Swan 12:13, 11 November 2006 (PST)
• It's also perfectly argueable that there was no voice. Jack's mind made it up after all the intercom looked pretty old and unused. Princess Dharma

Questions

The circumstances around Alex in I Do raise all sorts of questions for me. Apparently she doesn't live at Otherville or at the Hydra, so where does she live? How was she able to get to Hydra island undetected? Where was Karl taken and what does she suspect happened to him (assuming that's who she was looking for)? If Kate and Sawyer are as trapped by being on a small island as they've been lead to believe, why did she try and release them and tell them to run? Where could they possibly run to? Is this all just another case of the Others screwing with the Losties minds? --Doc 08:35, 10 November 2006 (PST)

Why do you think that she doesn't live in Otherville? Otherville is on the main island... the Others wondered how Alex got to the Hydra Island. I think it's logical to believe that she does live in Otherville. We don't know much about their village at all. Dreamy Perfection 12:32, 11 November 2006 (PST)

Karl's Status

The writers confirmed Karl would be back, thus he is not dead, thus not Alex's boyfriend. =)--Scorpiusdiamond 12:25, 17 November 2006 (PST)

Do you have a source? Also, just because he's alive doesn't mean he's not Alex's boyfriend. Alex may have just assumed he was dead since nobody would tell her anything. --   Jabberwock    talk    contribs    email   - 12:28, 17 November 2006 (PST)

I pretty much gathered from "I Do" that he wasn't dead, because the first thing Picket asked over the radio when the Alarm went off was "Did he get out again?!". Since Sawyer was in front of him, and Jack hasn't escaped yet, the only guy who could have gotten away "again" (that we know of) would have been Karl. I'll have to look at the transcripts when they come out, but that's how I remember it. It's a pretty safe bet that Karl is her boyfriend and he's alive, I just think that Alex doesn't know where he is, hence the slingshot attack. Speaking of slingshot attacks, were those rocks that she was flinging? It wasn't at least some sort of tranquilizer darts? Did she really charge into a heavily guarded compound armed only with a slingshot and a pocketful of rocks? -BearDog 13:26, 17 November 2006 (PST)

Name

• Should her name be listed 'Alexandra Rousseau' per se? It's not a name the character herself would recognize, and probably does not go by. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tuttlemsm (talk • contribs) .

Rename.

Like what we did with Kate and Locke, we don't have to use her full name in the title, just what we know her as. The Other don't say Alexandra, I don't say Alexandra, and I'll bet most people don't. We always reefer to her a Alex. --James W. 19:58, 26 January 2007 (PST)

Does anyone remember where we got that her full name even is Alexandra? Was that written anywhere? Couldn't it just as easily by Alexandria or Alexis? -BearDog 09:00, 29 January 2007 (PST)

Im pretty sure in an episode Danielle refered to her as Alexandra. Although I do agree that ,most fans know her to be Alex and so I agree with the rename. Princess Dharma

• Yes: Looks like this page was originally named Alex Rousseau, but it was renamed before move privileges were restricted. Unless someone shows transcript or other evidence that her full name is Alexandra, it should be renamed. --   Jabberwock    talk    contribs    email   - 15:54, 31 January 2007 (PST)
• Yes: Although Danielle does call her Alexandra in Maternity Leave, and her name should be recorded in the body of the article as Alex (Alexandra) Rousseau, she's commonly known as Alex Rousseau. From the Maternity Leave transcript:

CLAIRE: Your baby -- was it a girl?

DANIELLE: Yes.

CLAIRE: What was her name?

DANIELLE: Alex, Alexandra.

Kivipat16:28, 31 January 2007 (PST)

• Yes, now I remember. Thanks for looking that up. Personally I think the page should be named with the short name, but I don't think we should bother with the renaming until we know what her real last name is. We assumed it was Rousseau but it was confirmed in "Not in Portland" that she is Ben's daughter, which could make her name "Alex Linus". --   Jabberwock    talk    contribs    email   - 20:34, 7 February 2007 (PST)

• Yes: And I also agree with the possiblity of changing her name to "Alex Linus", but we should probably hold off on that for now. Although I'm almost 100% sure that she is not Ben's biological daughter, he most likely raised her as his daughter after she was taken from Rousseau. But adopted or not, if "Linus" turns out to be the last name she has taken for herself, then that is the one that should be used in the title of this article, regardless of the name she was born with. Nahald 00:08, 8 February 2007 (PST)
• Rename to Alex Rousseau. That's what I and my friends call her. --Blueeagleislander 00:24, 8 February 2007 (PST)

• Yes, rename, but to Alex Rousseau. --PandoraX 08:12, 8 February 2007 (PST)

• Yes, rename it to Alex Rousseau. Though, it may eventually change to Linus that can be done later like Henry Gale's page was changed to Benjamin Linus.--J-- 09:57, 9 February 2007 (PST)

• Rename to Alex Rousseau for now

Alex Rousseau VS Alex Linus

Alex Rousseau is the 16-year-old male child of Danielle Rousseau.

Alex Linus is the older-than-16 female child of Ben

They are two different people. What is the most compelling reason? When Danielle catches Ben in the trap, she and Ben do not show any sign of recognizing each other as the parent of their mutual child.

• Uh, there's no 16 yo male child on the show (Danielle even uses the female pronoun to describe her child). The most likely answer is just that Alex was too young to know that Ben is not her real father, and assumes he is. --PandoraX 08:10, 8 February 2007 (PST)

• Also, Danielle Rousseau claims that they 'stole' her child. It may be the fact that they did do this, and Ben raised her as his own. This would consolidate the two theorized individuals, and explain why Danielle didn't recognize Ben. Ben may have known who she was, but at that point wasn't being entirely forthcoming...

Alex is only adopted by Ben, he can't be her biological father. Danielle was pregnant when she arrived on the island, and Ben has lived on the island his whole life. Alex's biological father is almost certainly [Robert]. --Minderbinder 08:42, 8 February 2007 (PST)

• Which I agree with in theory as well, however, we can't believe anything that Ben told Jack either. There's no other reason to believe that Ben never left the island. -BearDog 15:42, 8 February 2007 (PST)

• Also keep in mind that Danielle is a crazy lady that has stolen babies before. It's entirely plausible that her child died and she tried to steal Alex from the Others. I say this a bit tongue-in-cheek, but my real point is that we probably shouldn't rename this page until a few more episodes have passed and we know more about the character.    Jabberwock    talk    contribs    email   - 15:46, 8 February 2007 (PST)

• You have to think that Danielle Rousseau's camp was abandoned so that can mean that she had a new place or she was an Other this whole time. Also she could of been lieing when she met the losties.WarthenMan17:52 February 8, 2007 (CST)
