First of all I am new to Lost and this web board and this mourning I accidently posted the same messagei wrote yesterday and got someone mad at me I'm sorry.
So here is a new topic of questions.

1. Why is Michael so protective of Walt? Did he have bad childhood?

2. Was Hurly a nurse in the retirement home? Is that the way he learn the numbers and does he think the hatch is the source of the numbers?

3. Why is Claire having trouble with the baby? First she wants the baby, then wants to give it up for adoption, then she does want it when its finally born. What is so special about that baby?

ah, your posts are much more understandable now that they are readable! You won't believe how much people will appreciate that.

1. I don't remember the exact details, but I think this is how it all happened: Michael & his wife divorced immediately after having Walt. Walt & his ex moved across the world to live with her new husband. Michael was very sad, but went on with his life. I believe Michael was in a bad car accident & was in the hospital for a long time. He wrote Walt, but Walt never wrote back. The ex was hiding the letters. Walt never knew Michael was his father until Michael's ex died. Michael showe dup to pick up Walt & bring him back to the U.S. WMichael called his mother from the airport, saying how he couldn't take care of Walt & that it was a burden. Walt overheard this. Michael felt guilty about that & has been trying to be a good dad since then. He's realized he is the only thing Walt has now.

2. For some reason, Hurley was a patient, I believe, in a psych ward where he got the numbers from the old guy. Later he played those numbers & won the lottery. Bad things began happening with anything related to the lottery win. He thinks those numbers are cursed. He goes back to the dude in the psych ward & gets out of him a name of a guy in Australia. He goes to Australia to find the guy & discover the truth about the numbers. Turns out the guy died & the widow tells Hurley of how her late husband was obsessed with those numbers & ended up killing himself. Apparently the two older men heard the numbers repeated over & over while they were in the Navy monitoring airwaves in the South Pacific. Those were the only answers he got. The next time Hurley encountered those numbers is on the island, on the hatch. Therefore, he's convinced anything to do with those numbers will end in death or destruction.

3. I think Claire never wanted to give up the baby, it's just that everyone convinced her that she should. The psychic she went to had a bad sense about the baby. The psychic had a bad vision about it being raised by other people. The Others? We don't know. We can deduce that he sent her on the plane trip (lied about knowing a family in CA that would help her raise the baby) because he had a psychic vision it would crash. He wanted Claire & the baby to die. Guess he didn't have a psychic vision about the aftermath of the crash.

Just a thought on this... I think the psychic may have seen the crash and the survival. I am speculating that he believed this was the only way to ensure the baby would be raised by Claire. Not sure to what extent he may be able to see the baby's future on the island, but I don't think he was seeing this as an option to kill the child. It seems like he had made some comment as to the importance of this baby being raised by Claire, implying that it was important that the baby live.

Of course. That's what Weltek said, too, silly. While telling Charlie about the psychic, it kinda dawns on Claire (who mentions aloud) that the psychic knew the plane would crash, and that there wasn't a couple waiting in LA.

That's what Weltek said, too, silly.

You givin' me grief, hon?-) Weltek had speculated that the psychic wanted her on the plane

...because he had a psychic vision it would crash. He wanted Claire & the baby to die.

I was just speculating that he didn't want the baby to die, but rather he knew the plane would crash and the baby would live. Isolating them to the island would ensure Claire would be the one to raise the baby, as the psychic had originally wanted her to do.

But you're also right... I am a bit silly, among other things.
