Buongiorno Silvia...ho trovato un video che mi ha lasciato cn le lacrime agli occhi...te lo metto,guardalo

Tiziano Ferro nn mi piace tanto,ma questa canzone la adoro e penso che calzi a pennello per la nostra coppiettina!In più ti lascio un commento di una Skater che cm noi nn è particolarmente soddisfatta dall'episodio,ma ha ha fatto un'analisi generale su Kate e Sawyer che veramente è perfetta!Se nn capisci qualcosa...te la traduco poi!

Among other things, I think there are a ton of forces in play that want Kate to have Sawyer's baby: Sawyer, Kate, the Man Behind the Curtain, the Island itself, mythology and the PTB. Let's look at these in reverse order.

The PTB

Evangeline Lilly and Josh Holloway are lightning in a bottle, and are in many ways the face of the show. Everyone involved understands that the chemistry, charisma and sheer attractiveness of the Sawyer and Kate pairing is valuable to the show and should be featured, center stage, as long as humanly possible. The minutes devoted to Sawyer and Kate love stories they've told must outnumber by a factor of 10 the number of minutes devoted to whole other characters and subplots. With so much investment in this story, I would argue that the PTB have no other choice, and would make no other choice, than to "go all the way" with these two.

This story started out as a thrilling moment between two strangers and has exploded into an elaborately wrought, beautifully drawn epic love story. They've given it a beginning and a middle, and I would argue they will give it an end, and I think the end will be happier than we ever expected. After all they've been through, and after having served the show "heroically" for so long, I think they're getting rewarded with the full shebang.

Mythology

Few shows in the history of television have been so conscious of the power of myth, of the hero's journey, of the quest for the Grail, whatever your personal Grail may be. Joseph Campbell cast the connection in these terms: "Myths are public dreams, dreams are private myths."

The truth of the matter is that we are meant to meet, mate and make more of ourselves. That's biology, and as such that is mythology, which retells our individual dreams so they apply to the whole community. It's summed up in the phrase "happily ever after," and it's infinitely more complicated than that in real life, but each of us inevitably find ourselves swept up in a momentum of maturity that drives us back to the same place where we all started: the heart of a family.

Stories about barren wastelands are stories of redemption, where life and fruit is brought back into the land. And yet paradise is a place where everyone flourishes in a land of eternal idyll, but even paradise has a cost: Such perfection can only exist in a state of stasis, it must remain asexual and pristine, hidden away from the world, like a virgin in a tower. The Island is Paradise, and thus it cannot perpetuate itself. There is no evolution in fairyland for the same reason there is no sex in Eden. Perfection has been achieved, to change it by adding or subtracting is to destroy it. In these places, there is no real death, but there is also no real life.

There's a reason children are imported from the real world into magical places, be they Eden, Oz, Neverland, Narnia, Wonderland or what have you—the people that live on the other side have magic, but they are persistent and unchanging, and they do not grow up or die, so they also do not and can not create new, better versions of themselves.

So, if you are in one of these magical realms, you can decide to stay, and continue as you are, forever and ever and ever. But if you want to grow up, you have to go back to the real world and take the lessons of your adventures with you, and live your real life, with all its troubles, and then, when the time comes, pass along a little fairy wisdom, if you can, to your own children.

In short, Sawyer and Kate are the story. He is a knight, she is a princess, they're gonna have adventures in mystical realms together, save each other from the dragons, and then they're going to grow up, settle down in a nice castle in suburbia somewhere, have a bunch of babies, and look pretty. Them's the rules—to break them is to fail the tale.

The Man Behind the Curtain

I've always believed Ben was hoping to squeeze one or more pregnancies out of the Oceanic 815 survivors. I've never understood why Steve and Tracy weren't up for the gig, but let's just assume it's because it's a TV show and they're not main characters. Ben, our puppetmaster, would have been fine with Kate and Jack breeding, which is what he expected, but Kate wasn't interested in mating with Jack, and she did want to be paired up with Sawyer, so if that's what makes her cooperative, fine, says Ben, go for it. To my eyes, the Triangle-napping was useful for the Others for three reasons: Spinal surgery on Ben by Jack, runway building by Kate and Sawyer, and breeding by Sawyer and Kate.

Let's get gross now, and talk about what you would do if you were a farmer whose success, or perhaps even very survival, depends on your herd of cows. (In case you miss my point, Ben is the farmer in this metaphor, and his spread is the Island, and all the people that are not Ben are the cows.) You would milk some, you would send some old ones off to slaughter as the hides and meat are now more valuable than the milk, and you would save a few select specimens for breeding. It's all a matter of resource management...

To look a little closer at what I believe Ben was up to with his Triangle-napping, I refer you now to UC Davis' circular on "Dairy Care Practices" and Vermont Extension's circular called "Beef Management Tips." Let's look at some excerpts, shall we...

Bulls are large, powerful animals and handlers should always be cautious.

So you might put one in a cage, and the other in an aquarium, yes, so they can't get out and gore the handlers, rape perfectly nice cows who are minding their own cow business, and/or knock down your split-rail fences.

Many pens are constructed of pipe, although wood also is used. The pipe must be stronger than pipe used for the lactating cows.

All things being equal, boys cause more damage then girls. Girl cows escaping, by, say, shimmying through the roof, is not disastrous and can be permitted.

As a safety factor, the bull facility design should allow attendants to feed and water the animal without entering the pen.

Two words for you: Fish. Biscuits.

The surface of the pen may be dirt or concrete. Dirt pens often provide better footing, but concrete pens are also suitable if adequate bedding is provided.

Tee-hee.

Prior to the breeding season, cows and heifers that are to be bred should be vaccinated annually against IBR, PI3, BVD, 5 Strain of Lepto and Vibriosis.

Remember those needle marks that the triangle all had when they woke up in Other captivity? Remember the Sickness? Hmm...
Before bulls are turned out to breed cows, they should be evaluated to be sure that they can breed and settle cows in a rapid fashion.

According to the file, Sawyer's a proven breeder, cf. Clementine. Jack, not so much.

It is always a good practice to have your veterinarian go over these bulls and pull a semen sample to be sure bulls are fertile and ready to go.

Ah, finally an explanation for the incident with Ana-Lucia...I kid, but then again, I wouldn't put it past Ben...

Remember, when breeding on standing heat, regardless of the program, inseminate 12 hours after heifers are observed in standing heat.

If Kate wasn't in heat after that kiss in "The Glass Ballerina," she will never ever be in heat. I'm just saying.

Put two attractive healthy animals in cages opposite each other.

Make sure they bond with each other instead of with any handlers.

Give the recalcitrant bull a little encouragement in the form of folksy Steinbeck homilies.

Put the cow in something pretty and revealing.

Keep them working so they're extra sweaty and the pheromones are wafting between the two cages.

Look the other way when the girl cow makes her way into the bull's pen.

Tada! Offspring. If it weren't for the psychotic handlers and the haunted Island and all the freaky sci-fi crap, it'd be the most natural thing in the world...

The Island

The Island loves these two. Or, at least, it protects them.

The Island is not as intimate with Kate and Sawyer as it is with John Locke, but just the same, it's sustained and even nourished Sawyer and Kate. It's brought them together over and over again, dropping romantic waterfalls in their path, sending boars and pretty horsies to bring them together, and when they've drifted away, offered favorable currents to bring them home, be it on raft wreckage or canoe.

Most of all, it's kept them alive when the Island has allowed others to be savaged. Perhaps the Island is just code for the god in the machine, the writers who make it all happen, but, for example, Mr. Eko is one of the two Losties we've met who could take Sawyer in a fight. Sawyer was already wounded during their one encounter, but had he been fully healthy, it still would have been a battle royale, something you can't say for Sawyer versus almost anyone else short of Sayid. (Sawyer would kick Jack's sorry ass, so don't even try, Jaters.) (Also, when are we going to get our Sawyer and Jack fight? Poker doesn't count at all...) Just the same, the Island defeated Eko as few Losties have been defeated before. If Eko was so powerless, what chance would sinner Sawyer have? But yet, our friend smokey has never been in sight of Sawyer. Sawyer, in fact, has been stunningly immune to the weird ways of the Island. Perhaps it's his endless cool that keeps him from being haunted by the Island's mysteries, but the strange magic of the Island seems to go around Sawyer instead of through him...Sawyer's many misfortunes are not a consequence of the Island's manipulations or of wicked fate. Sawyer's troubles are all his own.

Kate, meanwhile, seems to have the nine lives of Mikhail's cat. Short of Sun and Jin, no other Lostie is as immune to the various threats and punishments of the Island, no other Lostie can walk so freely upon it and survive. She runs blindly through a jungle that killed Nikki and Shannon, and she falls into the hands of the Others only when in close proximity to her hero—yes, I said it—Sawyer, who keeps her safe from all their threats and nonsense...She takes risk upon risk, practically throwing herself into danger's path, and still her beautiful face remains unmarred. Never once sick nor wounded, Kate seems to have the Island's special protection.

Does this all add up to the Island wanting Kate to have a million of Sawyer's babies? Maybe, maybe not, but it doesn't want her to have a million of Jack's babies, that's for sure...

Kate

Ah, Kate. Taco night caught up with you, didn't it? Silly Kate, running for so long. Didn't you know it was only a matter of time before they caught you? Funny thing though, it wasn't the ones who were chasing you that caught you in the end. At some point, in your endless sprint away from yourself, you weren't looking where you were going and you slammed right into the big, broad chest of James Ford. He caught you so wouldn't fall, and you tried to go around him, to the right, but he stepped in front of you, and then you tried to go left, and he went the same way at the exact same moment. You've been dancing ever since.

The best argument for Kate wants Sawyer's babies is, well, why wouldn't she? Enumerate his flaws all day long if you want, but somewhere around twilight you're going to come around to the fact that he's everything you ever wanted, you're perfect for each other, you're madly in love, and you're actually very, very tired of making lists of what's wrong.

The happiness builds on itself. First one smile, then the next one comes a little easier, and before you know it, you feel good a lot of the time, and you want to share that. Is this confidence? Is this joy? Is this...trust?

Kate has never had a reason to not run. She loves it. She's born to it. Nothing else has ever seemed so right. Until now.

She's not there yet, but a time is coming when her love and gratitude for the gifts she has been given, her love of her own life, will win out over that impulse to flee. She'll always have that instinct. She'll always want to avoid instead of confront, but before too long, what she loses if she runs greatly outweighs what she wins if she takes off. The balance is changing...When will the scales tip? I'd guess about nine months after that night in the cages...

Sawyer

They say that courage is not the absence of fear, but being scared and doing it anyway.

Sawyer's such a wonderful paradox. The brave coward. The cowardly hero. Jack once told us he was fearless, but sometimes it seems that it's Sawyer who will plunge into any fray. And yet...he is afraid of living. Who wouldn't be? Why would you want a heart if yours was ripped out before your eyes one terrible night when you were eight? The instinct to survive wins out, most days, but there is a counterpull of destruction. What in this life is worth living for? Why bother? Some primal reptile brain guides him through life, he seeks out resources and release, he is a bundle of autonomic impulses, running on instinct and unconscious desire alone, but the fearlessness is false. He has nothing, and nothing to lose, so why not risk it all? Conscious thought, a conscience, dreams, desire, hope...these were all too expensive in the cheap, easy life of James Ford. The best he hoped for was to not be dead at the end of the day. Everything else was a luxury.

Until Kate. Dammit, Kate. Kate gets damned a lot, and maybe she is damnable. A femme fatale if ever there was one, she is lethal and cruel, careless and wild, and in many ways, genuinely deranged. Her head doesn't work right. She's never made sense. Inconsistent, inconstant, unfaithful, Kate is a storm cloud wrapped in a silver lining.

So, truly, what greater pleasure, what greater challenge, could there be than controlling the storm? It's Sawyer's most deeply embedded habit, really, controlling troubled women. And yet...there must have been a moment when he realized he was really in trouble. Was in that first kiss? Earlier? Later? We may never know, but in Kate, Sawyer must have realized pretty early on that Kate would become the struggle of his life. She would not be controlled. She would fight harder than anyone he'd ever known. But it wasn't just that she was a superior opponent, it was that somewhere along the line, the definition of victory changed.

She would never be broken, not by him. He could try, but at some point along the line, the thought of breaking her became impossible. Not because it couldn't be done, but because it shouldn't be done. There was no fight here, battles maybe, skirmishes, but Sawyer found himself engaged with his soulmate. Yes, I said it. He couldn't destroy her without destroying himself.

The heart that he thought he no longer had was returned to him wrapped in that silver lining. Kate was the rest of him he thought didn't exist anymore. She was all the better angels he'd tried to suffocate for so long. And all he had to do to have them back was love her. Not so easy, but worthwhile...

Kate seems like the mist, sometimes. Reach for her, and there is nothing to grab onto. Sawyer doesn't know how to keep her and all the rewards that come with her. Sawyer doesn't know what would calm the storm, and settle the riot inside her. How could he? She's a force of nature and cannot be controlled, attempts to do so are foolish and only make matters worse. But like air and water and weather and the atmosphere, she is essential to him. She must remain.

Can he have the whole of her? Never. It's not there to be had. Can he have part of her? Yes, it's called a baby, and it would be his as much as hers. Ours, as Jin said. The heart, the better angels, and Kate, all in one.

If you ask me, Sawyer doth protest too much. If Kate were pregnant with his baby, that would the victory that's impossible to win. That's him in her. There's nothing he would want more than that foothold, that access, that presence inside her. She'll let him in that way. She has let him in that way, over and over. These are not shallow physical gestures. These are the living representations of their love and their union, as mortal wine represents immortal blood. There is meaning and mysticism in the mundane, if we believe it to be so...Their baby would be a living representation of their love. There's nothing either of them could want more.

Kate is so having a million of Sawyer's babies.

Aaron è l'Aaron di Claire,ok spero che questa storia venga scritta bene perchè nn mi piace l'idea che mamma e bambino si separino,nn mi piace l'idea che Claire possa morire e nel caso invece sia viva nn mi piace il fatto che Kate dovrà restituirle il bambino,se tornano sull'isola,cosa che penso succederà;e qui prevedo un grosso trauma per tutti,in primis per KAte ed Aaron!Un bambino futuro per Kate e Sawyer penso sia ancora possibile,penso che sia un qualcosa che in un futuro potranno provare,ad essere padre e madre!Kate nn sta vivendo una realtà,io sn più che certa che lei adori questo bambino e che le voglia proteggere da tutto,sicuramente è una brava mamma,ma è una bugia,una finzione,la verità,le cose vere e reali sn rimaste sull'isola...;-)

Ecco un altro capolavoro,che conferma ulteriormente che l'amore vero supera tutto...
