No basis for fountain of youth
May 28 2007, 6:09 AM EDT
Ben grew up on the island, he's aged normally as has Alex who was born on the island. Our losties haven't aged because they've only been there a few months in the show's timeline, although we've been watching for 3 years. And after watching the season finale, it's very obvious that walt has aged 3 years, and probably why he was written out of the show. Arron has probably been played by several babies over the past 3 years, in order to show his aging and growth at a normal rate in accordance to the timeline of the show. The crash happened in 2004 and the losties have only been on the island a few months, so it's still 2004. Fountain of youth doesn't work. Obviously there are healing properties associated with the island, but that doesn't have anything to do with youth. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

Do you watch this show??? Ben may have aged normally, but Richard showed no sign of aging from the time that Ben was a child up until the present, when Ben looks middle-aged. If anything, Richard looks younger now! Considering that Richard was one of the original "others" on the island, it might be that the fountain of youth theory only pertains to those who are most in tune with the island (probably Jacob too). Also, consider how Richard gave John Locke information in order to have his father killed by Sawyer. Perhaps Richard's disloyalty to Ben is because John Locke is more attuned to the island (which we have good reason to believe). There's probably more to this theory than you think. Do you find this valuable?
