Ben showed Juliet a video of her sister, Rachel. Ben addresses Richard, the dark haired man who brought Juliet to the island. Here's the thing. We never see Richard -- actually see his face -- off the island. We never see anyone at all ever off the island, except Desmond on his boat who claimed the whole world is a snow globe. Here's my point. The video of Rachel could well have been taken some other way, not by Richard. Desmond could be right, and there is in fFact no way out at all. Once you arrive on the island you have entered the snow globe and can never leave again. Maybe. Speaking of desmond... fFavorite moment last night: "It seems to me you've killed more of them than they have of you." He doesn't particularly consider himself part of any group at all. He and Rouseau intrigue me fFor this reason. I’ll see your a theory and raise you a speculation.

Hints about that have been all over the place. The inability of Desmond to sail away from the island, for example. The need to continue to press that damn button kept the island separate from the "real world"....but now it's in synch with the real world (hence the parachutist able to find it). And maybe, just maybe, the healing properties of the island are changed and fetal development will NOT kill the mother..... But I think that Sun's days on the island (on the show) are numbered. Time for a cast purge. While everyone will be expecting Charlie to bite the bullet in the coming "war", I think Sun (and possibily, tragically, Jin) will be casulties as well. Their backstories are complete. Full circle. Unfortunately, they bring nothing more to the story so it's easy to let the characters go (in one manner or another). Time definately plays a role in the Lost mystery.

I could not come up with anything satisfying, though. My thoughts on the mothers/babies dying is that it's the island's healing properties coming into play. A baby is, in essence, technically a sort of parasite, when you think about it. With a hopped-up immunol system, maybe the body sees it as such and tries to reject it? In that case, though, I don't know if it would explain the difference between conception on the island versus off the island. I have to agree that the statue is a big mystery that I would like to see answers to.

I wish they'd revisit that 4 toed statue. I think that the island was a source of great power in the ancient world, but the civilization was destroyed by it. That power manifests itself as the black-smoke monster. Dharma is trying to harness it for their own means, channelling it into a newborn child , but the mothers die because their bodies can't handle it. That monster might have the keys to the mastery of space and time, and the island might exist as a bubble of "parallel reality". Certainly makes sense to me.
