I think the pregnancy problem was created by the time-loop which apparently began in 1996. The Swan device (Desmond hitting the button)was resetting the island back in time every 108 minutes to prevent the impending disaster that would destroy the island and presumedly the world. Very difficult to procreate when time is reset back every 108 minutes.
How the hell did you figure this out?
I didn't but I agree that the reasoning is sound in the Jason Hunter "The Timeline" theory. I linked it in a post above. Here's another link: Time-line Theory
===========================================
1996 (third iteration): Ben, Richard and Mikhail find a way to "sync up" the Orchid's donkey wheel with the computer in the Swan station. Thus, when Desmond pushes the button in the Swan station, he is actually moving the island back in time 108 minutes, keeping time on the island suspended for a great number of years! The only way to pass through the island time and the real world time would be to use the “special” coordinate, which is referenced in season 4. Note that in season 3, Ben makes a comment to Richard “Remember when we used to celebrate birthdays?” Well, there wouldn’t be any reason to celebrate birthdays if the Others are repeating time every 108 minutes, and thus not aging. Also, since time is not elapsing and people are not aging, it would be very hard to pro-create!

That does make a lot of sense. I was just trying to make sure you aren't some sort of genius.

Had not heard that. Dominic Monaghan had been dating Evangeline Lilly (Kate) for several years but I think they broke up. Was surprised she hung with him as long as she did.

daves dawgs- well im sure he hit it a few times. also the theory about the smoke monster is a little off right? he says its a corrector of time but we find out that its the other guy.by the way what does MIB stand for?

I just connect Richard with first mate since that duty seems to carry over to the island. He is always subordinate to a leader, but ultimately tasks himself with the defense of the island.
I'm thinking that Richard probably had a horrible off-Island life before he came to the Island. Something tells me that when the Black Rock crashed on the Island that The Monster planned on using them against Jacob and they likely destroyed the statue (It was destroyed before 1974 since the statue vanished right when they arrived). Jacob may have come to Richard and showed him respect for the first time in his life, and through Richard's actions, most of the Black Rock crew and the Monster were defeated (although I'm sure some Black Rock members sided with Richard, particularly the slaves). Richard was also awarded immortality by Jacob for assisting him.
Yeah I'm pulling alot of this theory straight out of my arse, but I don't think DHARMA would have destroyed the Statue, and while the military that came to the Island in the 50s may have, I think the Black Rock crew are the most likely culprits. They did have the means to destroy it since they had a ton of dynamite.

I don't know if this is an inaccuracy by the writers or intentional, but dynamite wasn't invented until some 20 years after the Black Rock supposedly left England.
Hasn't that only been said in "The LOST Experience"? I think the creators could get away with saying that isn't canon, since only like 5% of viewers are aware of it.

landshark-check out the timeline theory

It was in "The Constant."

AUCTIONEER: The Black Rock set sail from Portsmouth, England March 22, 1845 on a trading mission to the kingdom of Siam, when she was tragically lost at sea. The only known artifact of this journey is the journal of the ship's first mate, which was discovered among the artifacts of pirates on the Ile Sante-Marie, Madagascar 7 years later. The contents of this journal have never been made public nor are known to anyone outside the family of the seller, Tovard Hanso. We open the bidding on lot 2342 at 150,000 pounds.

I haven't ever been much of a Claire fan, but I'm really liking the turn the character has gone this season.

Hahaa, hardly. I just read a lot about LOST and the various theories and sort of pick and choose what makes sense out of the lot. The main thing that I see missing in Jason's "The Timeline" theory is where Jacob and MIB fit into the plot. My theory is that Jacob is recruiting candidates to save the island/world by rewriting history to prevent the disaster which has proven difficult since fate tends to course correct to prevent destiny (main time-line) from being altered.
Like him or not, it was Jack that convinced our heroes to execute Faraday's plan to detonate the H-bomb detonator at the Swan site thus creating the incident that led to the alternate time-line. By doing this the Swan station was never built and therefore Flight 815 never crashed rather landed safely at LAX. Since the Swan Station was not built in the alternate timeline, there was no means to create the time loop preventing the disaster. However, if the H-bomb was to be the cause of the disaster, did Jack & Co. by removing the detonator prevent the disaster or will fate course correct and create the disaster by some other means or did the H-bomb have nothing to do with the disaster which perhaps was to happen in another way in which case the incident preventing the creation of the time loop will prevent the delay the delay of the inevitable disaster. LOL
My guess is that there will be a final showdown between Jacob's team led by Jack vs MIB's team led by Flocke the outcome of which will determine the future of the island/world. Jack & Co. have potentially altered history with the incident creating the alternate timeline. If the H-bomb was the means of disaster, will MIB's team now look for a way to detonate the H-bomb without the detonator that was used during the incident? Or will there be some other means by which MIB leaves the island? Regardless of the means, I believe if MIB wins and escapes from the island, it spells doom for our heroes, the island and the rest of the world.
