Thank you so much Julia and Kat!! So glad you liked it!
I was so excited to watch this Jem!! Such a great idea, and such a clever idea weaving Claire's psychic thing into it, with Charlie parenting the child being a "danger" so he had to die because he wasn't supposed to raise Aaron.. And his thing about the couple who Aaron would be safe with being Jate, I'd always thought that, too! I had it in a vid awhile back, I agree about th e"not strangers" thing being the clue
That was AMAZING, Jemma! OMG, it was soooo perfectly well told and the music gave me goosebumps. So well done!!!
Thank you so much Emma and Scarlett! I'm so happy you liked the theory and the way I portrayed it in this vid!
WOW. What a creative idea, and so beautifully done...the music was interesting w/o distracting from the voiceovers, and the transitions were beautiful. The ending was especially powerful, and I got chills when you showed clips of Charlie "raising" Aaron with the psychic's VO. I never even thought of that, that Charlie had to die because he wasn't supposed to raise Aaron. Very creative and just a beautiful vid. As a bonus, I loved the Jate.
Honestly I had never even though about Jate being "the couple in LA" until Macaela mentioned it here on LVI a few months ago. But it makes sense and you showed that really well.
Great vid!! Excellent storytelling.
Woah! I loved that, Jemma, it was really cleverly done. Great use of audio, and I loved the atmosphere you created. It was captivating!
Thanks Becca!
Wow, that was so eerie and heartbreaking and really clever! Well done hon!
I'm so happy you enjoyed it, Macaila! I'm glad you liked the layers to the theory and you totally got what I was going for! Yeah the Malkin speech was perfect for Jack/Kate! I have no idea if that's what he really meant, but it made so much sense especially when he says they're not strangers! I'm glad you liked that, I knew it was a favourite theory of yours
What a cool answer! I never would have equated the island trying to kill Charlie over and over to Aaron's future and who he was to be raised by. It was very unexpected, but it worked brilliantly. Loved the music, it really added to the suspense. I liked the editing, the way you built the mystery. I liked the way the answer built through the vid, it made it feel like watching a mini-mystery. At first I thought Charlie was bad for Aaron, then I started to see Claire wasn't meant for him either. I liked that there were layers to the answer.
You brought so many of my Lost theories to life in your vid and I absolutely loved seeing it!
I had noticed since the Pilot when the wing almost fell on Charlie that the island seemed to have it out on him. It was great to see a vid giving an answer as to why. 2:14 was my favorite. I have had the theory that Malkin was talking about Jack and Kate as the "couple in Los Angelas" for so long. It was awesome to see that play out. Christian's line at 2:45, that Aaron was where he was meant to be, I loved that you used that. I always thought that line was important since Sawyer had the baby taking him to Kate in the series when Christian said that. I really liked the way you used that line with Kate having Aaron when she left as O6. The manip of Charlie and Aaron in the Oceanic 6 was really cool.The ending was so sad and beautiful. It made me quite happy to see Kate and Jack get to raise Aaron in this version, but it was also heartbreaking that Claire and Charlie weren't meant to raise him. I loved the visual of the "happy family" over the ocean. This was a fantastic vid, Jemma!
