I felt like we were led to believe way back in Season 1 that Aaron was supposed to be very important - remember Malkin telling Claire that if she didn't raise him, bad things would happen to him (or surrounding him). Lost is loaded with Christian references: John Locke being told he has to die to save the Island, Jack Shephard shepharding his flock, etc. And frankly, I thought the title "The Little Prince" referenced Aaron and thoughts of Christianity's prince (obviously the most accurate reference of the title is to the French novella, but this was the first thought that I had upon learning of the title).
I don't know what will happen with Aaron, but I feel like there is a lot of imagery surrounding him, and my gut feeling is this is no accident.

I thought the little Prince was Jin, found by Rousseau's team.
But maybe that is, because I also thought Wikimund's baby could be Jin,
and because I was so happy that he was back.

What happened with the psychic was he told her that she was to raise the child. No others were to raise him, which always led to thoughts of negative. I watched that episode over and over to glean something, but the only thing I come back with is Malkin is like Mrs. Hawking, a temporal police that gets Claire to where she needs to be. As for the religious undertones. Ah like the Stand, our writers have a story. No doubt we have Aaron at the forefront of many things, but words of caution here, we have crafty writers, to which we can figure some things out and we are led down other paths. Frankly I hope Aaron is not they to the end, but as we have seen, they have taken children to test to see if they are the leader. As Richard has said in Jughead. We test at a very young age, therefore my take is that is why Ben took Alex, why they wanted Aaron from the start, they took Zach and Emma, they also took Walt, but let him go. Richard found Ben at the age of what 10 or 11! Also there is innocence in children, where they may accept things earlier. As for the title's Le Petite Prince was a good way of saying hello folks Russo is here. I thought like many at first it had to do with Aaron and again, the writers had us going right along with toddler Aaron! Though i admit I missed the B612 reference (it's been awhile since I read the book) the writers are very clever with the titles. Such as Jughead, wow what were we all thinking and voila a Hydrogen Bomb. But my Dad called that season one. Yes, Otter my friend we have thought this before! But who is to say that Jacob can't be woman!!!!!!!  Good thoughts here  |

Madam P,
the others did try to take aaron when Claire was pregnant, but she escaped with Alex's help
Well, I interpreted that more as they were trying to take "a pregnant woman" rather than to take Aaron specifically, but I could be wrong. It's hard to say if they truly were interested in fixing the pregnancy problem on the island, or just trying to "breed a leader" or "find a leader." Chicken or egg? |

Ethan told her that she would either die or that she could go back to her friends (the other Losties), but the Others's plan was to keep Aaron. It's hard to say if they truly were interested in fixing the pregnancy problem on the island, or just trying to "breed a leader" or "find a leader." Chicken or egg?
We haven't been told/shown enough to say that they may have been interested in Aaron as a future leader, but we have seen the general interest in pregnant women & children. |

Personally I think Ben's obsession with the pregnancy issue could have been a way to get Juliette on the island as again we go back to her resembling someone. The woman in the portrait. Yes, Juliette did loose a patient, but how many in all? Was the ever discussed? She has been there two years. Sorry but one must say hmmm did Ben keep the bodies of these women? It was all so suspect on how they got her to the island in the first place. Additionaly my other thought on this and forgive if I repeat, it must be the chili, that procreation on the island could be effected due to what Ben may or may not have done. Or the others in general! Yes, agreed that they were going to keep Aaron and had not use for Claire! |

Great thoughts everyone! Thanks for contributing to this post. So...what do you all think Aaron's destiny will have been when it's all said and done at the end of next season?

Was there anything to the picture that Aaron was drawing with his crayons in the back seat of Kate's car? Something that might foreshadow the future?

VL doubt his drawing is fortelling

I don't know why anyone would "become" Jacob. If their name isn't Jacob. I think someone by the name jacob is jacob. otherwise why would we call locke jacob or aaron jacob or anyone else who has a name already? that is the only reason why I think we have yet to meet jacob.

Here's a wacky theory for ya'll...
based on the fact that the names come from the same root Latin....
James Ford is Jacob _ _ _ _...
Commence the tossing of the stones, I shan't cover my face, but stand tall, tall I say in defense of a theory I do not have even that much faith in but wanted to put out there in case it turns to be true....
Why this? hmmm the biggest non-believer becomes the leader.....
But he really is probably someone we've yet to meet, or recognize*....
*meaning it could be he, Mssr. Ford....

Lots of characters have gone by different names, both on and off the island, so I can't support whether Jacob could be someone really named Jacob or someone who takes on the name. I'm split.
It's interesting that many people--myself included--assume that Jacob is spelled the way..well, the way I've spelled it above. True, the Room 23 brainwashing video says, "God loves you as He loved Jacob." But what if it's an acronym for something? JAKB, YKB, JAKIB, etc. I don't know, I'm just throwing it out there.
That being said, Jacob has Biblical meaning, as does Aaron, and Benjamin, and a handful of other names we've heard. I agree with the people who think Locke is the Christ-figure though (he'll be resurrected...great storytelling always has this, think Aslan in the Narnia series, Harry Potter, Gandalf in LotR, just to name a few). But I also think Aaron will be very significant, and his name will be a clue.

Wow who are you and what did you do with stagger! lol I get why you're saying this (but still shocked). well, I would never say never when it comes to lost. so if it is james then hey what the heck. but I still don't get the name change.    .........EVEN if it does derive from something... |

Yeah, I really do not get it either, other than that there is the connection of some sort, albeit a very weak one that would not surprise me to be very wrong... But in a narrative wrought with twists and whatnot one never knows, though this is a bit out there... sometimes the moments of clarity shine through like the sun sparking on the Nile, yet when I speak them (or in this case write them) they come out sounding stupid... Though in following a theological point (of which this thread is based) the idea holds a drop or two of water... Heck, Lost could end up like the Bible in that there are two beginnings* we find when we get to the end... *to aid in the time trippy-ness, why not there be two stories (times) that end as one....Wow who are you and what did you do with stagger! lol...
