No, 6. The other 2 died before rescue.

He's off the island in the present time - that doesn't mean he still is in
flashforward time.

You know, some dates would be very helpful here. The fact that there
specifically never is a date specified might be significant.

If Ben has anything to do with the Oceanic 6 cover story, I don't think
we'll find her as one of the 6. Plus, she was never on the plane. So let's
rule her out.

>The freighter people want the island to be kept a secret. Oceanic wants

Not necessarily - they just want Ben for sumthin, and the rescue "isn't a
priority". I think we're going to find that the crew and the four supposed
rescuers will be the first people on Ben's little list (of those first
against the wall when the revolution comes).

There really isn't a good way to put a plane crash into a good light. I
don't think Oceanic has a horse in the race - they're happy for some
people
they can trot out who survived, but that's about it.

I don't think it's the freighter people, but setting up the rescue and
having someone *else* find them makes a lot of sense - good call.

Yeah, I'm leaning this way too - there will be some period of 'missing
time' to account for, and that provides a window where it works for Kate
to
have had a baby.

Possibly. Another one is that his team and boat disappeared on him, and
he's trying to figure out what happened to Ben and company. Has his team
had any op****tunity to pass on a headcount?

Huh? Where did that come from? Because he was born on the island?

I don't see either Kate or Jack having any jealous reason to take Aaron.
Either Claire is dead and they're taking care of him, or there was some
other reason he had to get off the island. Maybe the island is as
dangerous
for small babies as it is for pregnant women, for example.

Good points, keep going. *
