[Movie] L O S T [possible spoilers]

He was in Claire's belly~ So maybe he's the +1 in the Oceanic Six + 1 (<-- LOST pop group ) So yeah, 99.9% sure it's Jin.

As for the Date of Death on the gravestone:

Spoiler:

As far as people on the mainland know, those on Oceanic Flight 815 are dead. Whidmore supposedly staged the entire wreckage that was found under the water by goin' and digging up corpses etc. So it's only natural that every character would have their own gravestone, with the date of the crash engraved on it.

There are a number of reason I think that this doesn't make any sense. First, the date on the gravestone:

Spoiler:

You argument does not hold up in this case. It is obvious that the public knows that not all of the passengers on Flight 815 are not dead. Hence the publicity and the term "Oceanic Six." Lets assume you are correct and tombstones had been erected for all of the assumed deceased. If in fact Jin is the sixth person who had left the island, alive, why would the date of death on his tombstone be the date of the crash? If he was known to be one of the sruvivors and had died after being rescued, why would they not change the date on the the gravestone to his actual date of death? (i.e. after the crash) It would only make sense that Sun would ensure that this was done.

Also, why would the writers make Jin the sixth person to leave the island, only to kill him off without him making a post-island appreance? It doesn't make any sense and would serve no purpose. Having him die on the island serves the same purpose. It helps solidify Jin's character in that he would do anything to make sure that Jin and their baby got off the island alive.

Also, in regards to Aaron:

Spoiler:

Where does it say that a member of the "Oceanic Six" had to be some on who was originally on the plane or whose name was on the passenger manifest? He was rescued from the crash just as the other five were, there is no reason to believe that the media would not have included him in the number of survivors when they labeled them as "six".

Jam it back in, in the dark.

In the episode where Sun has her kid, J-I-N is running around trying to get one of those big panda things. Even though its for his business, he's still alive in the Flash Forward

Spoiler:

His wasn't part of the flash forward. His part was a flashback. At the end of the episode a nurse say something about him having a child of his own soon and Jin says something like "Not yet. I've only been married for a few months" or something very similar to that. So, no, it has not been shown that J-I-N is alive off the island. I suggest you rewatch that episode.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
