What happened to Claire Litton on Lost? She explained her absence in the fifth season

One of the things that becomes clear on “Lost” is that the book does not care about all the survivors of equality. There are the “main” survivors (Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Locke) who lead the plot. Below them directly from second -class characters such as Hurley, Charlie, Michael, Jin, Sun, and Sayed; These characters usually have to settle in one episode of the lights in the season, but they were still shared reasonably in everything that was going on. At the bottom of the character categories called Rose and Bernard, the elderly who often commented in the background, and never participated in all drama.

Where was Claire Litton (Emily de Ravin) in all of this? In the first season, it seemed to be in that second layer alongside Charlie and Hurley. As a pregnant woman on an anti -pregnancy island, she was the center of the most dramatic story in the first season when others kidnapped her. But completely The importance of Charlie was reduced in the second seasonThis was Claire. She still received one episode of the lights for each of the first three seasons, but in the end, she fell to stay on the beach to take care of her child Aaron.

In the midst of her contradictory emergence in the series, Claire’s fans are still an enjoyable surprise in “Par Avion” for the third season, which revealed (the audience, not the characters) that were and Jack in a non -nature. However, the offer does not do much with this revelation, although you definitely think that others would have been trying to arm this information against Jack at some point. But before either of them can identify their relationship on the island, Jack and the rest of the six oceans are rescued while Claire is left behind.

After the fourth season conclusion, there was no reason that the fans were to believe that Claire would not wander. She was barely the only survivor that she left behind: Swir, Jin, Juliet, Miles and Faradai are still trapped on that island, so the assumption that Claire would soon be connected with them.

But a few fans know that the fifth season will be everything to travel through time. The matter was not limited to the transformation of the giant wheel in the fourth season, which leads to the transfer of the island in a magical way, but it also left the island in the mixing of the playing paper, as it jumps during time periods with a little rhyme or reason. Most survivors are thrown from year to year, before finally landing in the seventies and stability there. But for any reason, only some survivors of the islands on the islands at this time are busy while the time jumps. Claire is not affected by them, and no explanation for this is presented at all. (I assume that the man in the magic of Black was somehow involved.)

Although Claire is unprecedented and rarely mentioned by other survivors, it is still possible to feel that she is in Kate and Jack’s stories. In her three years, Kate becomes the mother of Harun with adoption, and the child works as a permanent reminder of the woman they left behind. Jack also discovers that Claire is in half outside the island, which increases his death with Aaron and works as another incentive to return to the island by any necessary means.

The second half of the fifth season believes that Oceanic Six returns to the island, but most of them land in the 1970s while others land on the island in 2007 ((The fifth season is complicated.) Here, the absence of Claire becomes particularly noticeable; Sun, John, Ben, and Lafezmis, are all in 2007, but no one is thinking about searching for Claire, which still exists. This is the point where many fans began to wonder whether Claire has been forgotten. Was this a situation of Walt another, where the book It seems that the missing interest in a personality and never returned to them?

The fifth season ends with the survivors of the seventies of the last century who put a hydrogen bomb, causing a time paradox that somehow back to the modern era. The sixth season begins with the team of the entire actors again today, which now means that it is a good time as it has always been to catch up with Culre. So, how was it silent? bad. very bad.

Claire in the sixth season is the borders of the border. Her only years of the island that the wilderness turned into someone who will be more at home in a show like “Yellowjactsts” Never resort to the maximum limits of human meat in this offer. (As much as we know, at least.) There is a little tragic hair to put Claire at the beginning of season 6; Like Daniel Rousseau, long before her, Claire has taken her child from her for unknown reasons, and she lost some of her mind in this process.

The good news is that other survivors understand their status. Even after Claire tried to kill Kate at one point in a hysterical anger, Kate quickly exceeded her. It is useful to discover Claire in one way other than her season that Jack is half of it, so don’t try to stab Jack, at least. Other survivors realize that most people will lose their marble a little when they are trapped in Claire’s position, in addition to that Rousseau gave them training on how to deal with a person who went on the island.

The most important thing has developed with the sixth season of Claire is her relationship with the demonic man in black, who impersonates her father, Christian, and then John Locke. Many of their history is implicit, but from the little that we see from them, we can say it was not a major influence. By the time when we reach the conclusion of the chain, Claire is a complete chaos, almost refuses to rescue because she believes that she is very far from being a good mother of Aaron. (Fortunately, Kate convinced her otherwise)

Looking at the ancient interviews and reviews at that time, Claire is clearly a later idea not only to show, but for the masses and critics watch it. So if you are He was One of the fans of Claire Nader watch them again in 2009/2010, it is likely to be disappointed because of the little focus she was getting. Her brother did not reveal with Jack a lot, and her relationship with Kate did not turn into anything special.

Perhaps the most disappointing thing at all is that Charlie’s sacrifices at the end of the third season, which he did under the impression that he was saving Claire, and was unprecedented. If Charlie knew the result of his death at that station, Claire will be stuck on the island for a full three years, I am not sure that he had passed it.

The bright side is that the sixth season had no story on the island to increase Claire’s journey, He also had flash toolsWhich displays a copy of the afterlife as all the characters of the island meet and find the closure. There, Claire gets her child in ordinary society, and she was reunited with Charlie. The stories of Charlie and Clair on the island are one of the most frustrated things that occurred in this series, so it is cracked to see these two in the sweetest scene of the whole end:

Emily de Ravin definitely enjoyed the Sixth Season Spring, mainly because he gave the character something interesting to do it again. She said in a People meet at that time. “I will return a kind of completely new character, so this is really fun for me.”

The actress was able to explore the sixth season of the man who had an influence on Claire, who expanded at the point of conspiracy of the fourth season of Claire in a mysterious condition that gave up her child and wandered alone in the forest. “This is what explains why she left her child under a tree,” said de Ravin. “I felt comfortable to know that she was not a terrible mother. She always looked very sweet.”

Although de Ravin was not completely pleased because he dumping again in the pregnancy story to enter the flash, she found at least the bright side of changing the preparation: “Oh, yes, the beautiful stumbling came back … At least this time I do not have to wear it on the beach in the weather 100 degrees sweating my ass.”

There was not much of the sick will between De Ravin and “missing” from the contestants during her absence in the fifth season. It was very busy at the time the emergence of projects such as “Remember Me”, “The Chameleon” and “The two enemies”. In the end, Claire’s absence has turned significantly as Bran’s absence in the fifth season of the “Game of Thrones”. Sometimes the width happens a lot, and it must be comfortable to put a pin on a story or two so that they can return to it later. As much as we would like to see Claire in the fifth season, even for a quick examination, it is logical that this fast -paced season wants to avoid many transfers from the main Darma plot.

Although most fans enjoy the last moments of Claire in the show (inside and outside the island), the general consensus is that they were wasted by the book. They didn’t do it just like Walt or Charles Widmore, which was one day, but they may do a lot. Some fans attribute not to Claire to their (doubtful) belief that de Ravin is not a good actress. Other fans believe that Claire is simply a victim of the shortest rings in recent seasons, which has struggled to distribute the screen to the actors evenly like the longest early seasons. Someone always ends with a short stick in a band series working under time restrictions, and that someone here was Claire.

Perhaps the most gentle criticism of Claire is that the book simply did not know how to deal with the young mother’s personality. They do not seem to have the will or the ability to write it at the level of depth and the agency that other women’s characters enjoyed. Sun, Juliet, Kate, and even Shannon got growing and changing the best throughout their time in the series, but Claire spent her first four seasons as plot devices for other characters to deal with them.

There was to continue along the mystery of others, to further develop Charlie’s character as a addict for a recovery, and to give Kate and Jack the additional motivation to return to the island. But outside a few enjoyable moments spread during the series, Claire’s personal journey was not the top priority. In an offer he became famous for A wide range of various and complex charactersClaire Litton’s depth was never there.
