LOST - Oceanic Six?

Who are the six exactly?


Kate, Jack, Hugo, and Sun have all been identified on the show by other people as part of the "Oceanic Six". Said identified himself as one of them, but you'd think that he'd then be hugely recognizable as the others are, and that would make his assassin job tough. Ben too is obviously not one of the six, yet there are more than six people who got off the island. Is Kate's (adopted) son considered one of the six?

I'm assuming Jin's B plot part in the latest episode was a flashback, while Sun's was a flashforward. But maybe he was one of the six, got rescued, and then died immediately after?

It's possible there are still two out of six left to reveal...

I think Aaron defintiely counts as one of the six. I assumed Sayid was...but maybe you're right about his assassin job. Either way, I am LOVING lost right now. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

If you really are loving LOST, you may want to try these other works by Brian Vaughn, all available as graphic novel collections:

Y: The Last Man
Pride of Baghdad
Runaways

(The most current issues of Runaways have actually been written by Joss Whedon...)

aaron and sayid make 6.

... unless, *someone else* was revealed in that episode that we oh so conveniently missed. i dont think aaron *should* be one of the 6, which is why i think i may have missed someone in the background. shrug. havent had the time to rewatch. lol.

and jin couldn't have died off the island, because the DoD on his tombstone was sept 22 (day of crash). that would be a tough one to explain. part of me thinks he and others are still alive on the island...

Ben's clearly off the island, but isn't one of the six.

Jin and the others are probably still on the island in the future, maybe totally "lost in time" or something.

I wonder if Hugo's "luck power" is a variation on Desmond's time travel ability. Like, Hugo hates himself, so he subconsciously remembers when bad things are going to happen and then puts himself in bad situations? And when he feels good about life, good things happen to him because he remembers when good things will happen.
