My Lost fanatic friend and I were watching last week's 'Walkabout' episode and noticed something that could be interesting. Claire shows Jack pictures of Kristen and Steve (from a photo booth)as she's compiling the list of people to memorialize when the airplane fuselage is burned. Whenever there's a particular focus on something in Lost, it usually turns out to be significant, and we started wondering why the pictures were shown in such detail.

The fact that Kristen was blonde led us to the final episode of the boat with the others (thank you TiVo), and lo and behold! The woman looks exactly like Kristen, and one of the men, clean shaven and shown fighting with Michael, looks exactly like Steve. There's one clear shot of him that when compared to the photos looks identical.

Also, when Claire is talking about Steve and Kristen, she remarks that, "No matter where they are now, they're not alone." Methinks that's a significant statement. This is also the episode where Rose is adament that Bernard, her husband, is still alive. Perhaps the bearded man is Bernard? Let's add a little frenzy to this theory!

If someone can post screen shots of the photos and then of the woman in the boat (already available under another thread) as well as the clean shaven guy on the boat, that would help. I don't have the technical ability to do so and couldn't find the right pictures on abc.com.

So, what if some of the other survivors, from the tail section perhaps, have been recruited/abducted by the Others? Portent of things to come possibly?

That last colour photo looks a lot like Will Tippin from Alias!

Although he's getting his own show this fall on Fox so I can't see him being a character on Lost too. Although JJ loves crossover casting.

Joisey! Thanks! I knew someone would be able to get them. Obviously the guy with the beard isn't the one I was talking about (except in relation to the way-out-there Bernard prospect), and the 4th pic down of the clean cut guy is a good shot of him. I think the gal on the boat and the Kristen in the photo booth shots are definitely the same person. When you slo-mo it through the finale boat part, you can really see the resemblance with both of them.

But, I've been wrong before...wait...was I wrong? No, must have been someone else!

I'd love to see Bernard come back to make Rose happy. She was a good character and it would be nice seeing more of her. Also, Ana Lucia was in the tail and she's coming back, but I have no idea if she'll be evil or good. From her interview in this week's Entertainment Weekly, I think she's going to be killed off during the season, b/c she has another tv show that she'll be doing. I think she'll be making Kate jealous, but then after she dies maybe Kate will realize she likes Jack more than Sawyer. Personally, I'd go with Sawyer, but that's just me 'cause I think he looks great w/out his shirt.
