Did Kate paint the room beige? And where did the pictures go, even the one outside the door? Did Kate redecorate? Is Aaron in a different bedroom? Why?

I think its just a mistake from the design team.

You're right; it looks like a different room--th walls are different, as is the view out the door. Given that they knew they had upcoming scenes to shoot in Aaron's room, it's a pretty huge oversight on their part.

Kate probably has a lot of free time on her hands. She can't leave the state and she probably can't get a job (not that she would need to), so maybe she maybe she has just become obsessive about redecorating. ;)

Is it even the same house?

Is it even the same house?

The house in Something Nice Back Home seemed overly decorated, too much stuff, too much clutter, too much food in the fridge, suburban excess. The first house in Eggtown seemed well like the same house but simplier, brighter, different, a happier room for Aaron in Eggtown & now, beige.

The room in Eggtown looks more "finished" while the one in SNBH looks thrown together as though Kate just moved in. Apparently Jack said something in SNBH about the trial being over (I've seen that posted but don't remember it and haven't gone back to look) leading us to believe that the events in SNBH followed those depicted in Eggtown but I'm not convinced. It makes more sense to me the other way around since that would better account for Jack's aversion to being around Aaron. The change in the room reminds me of the change in the picture frames in Miles' FB, in the "hamster" portrait in Ben's house and in the Swan. I just can't believe that a lack of foresight is the explanation for all of them.

Yeah, the room in Eggtown seemed a little more happy, maybe to depict the mood of Kate, she was off the Island, not on the run anymore and had Aaron, so she was happy. The room now is beige to depict the mood of this episode, a little more ominous.

The room does seem very different, the bed is in a different spot, bedside table with a lamp, a mobile, more furniture and Aaron's room just seems more cluttered, like the rest of Kate's house. Yet this appears to be maybe 3 - 6 months after Eggtown and there seems to be alot of changes for that short of time. There are some constants in the room though, the bed appears to be the same, the dresser looks the same and the painting of the boy on the bike above the dresser is the same. I don't think these changes are prop error though.

In the scene at Santa Rosa, Hurley says "I thought you didn't want anything to do with Aaron" and Jack says "I changed my mind after the trial"......

It's just another room.

It's just another room.

So Kate decided after the trial to move Aaron to another room in the house?:confused:

The room's dimensions look the same, it's the decorations and some of the furniture that looks different.

Maybe the differences in the room have something to do with our having seen it from two different perspectives: first Kate's and then Jack's. In Eggtown, Kate seems centered and sees things through a pleasant and orderly filter. In SNBH Jack is already beginning to unravel even before seeing his Dad and talking to Hurley (I think we see Jack reading to Aaron first) and sees things through a different filter. By the way, do we know whether or not events within a FF or FB are shown chronologically?

I think it's interesting that Hurley knows that Jack didn't want to see Aaron. Did Jack let everyone know about his aversion? It just seems odd that he would tell Hurley that even in response to a direct question from Hurley re Jack and Kate's relationship (or non relationship) because it is such a private and seemingly petty thing to feel.

Finally, although Jack refers to the trial as being over and we assume that he is referring to Kate's trial, maybe it's a reference to someone else's trial ---- ok, grasping at straws.

I see that I missed the post by Toddintexas re seeing the room from the perspective of two different moods. I think that we're talking about the same thing but now I'm wondering if we can trust the appearance of anything we see, particularly in the FFs. Since they are in the future, shouldn't they reflect an objective reality?

LOL, I knew that would be thrown out there, "Are we sure it was Kate's trial Jack mentioned?" No we don't know for sure, and haven't we all grapsed at straws at some point during LOST? :biggrin:

Hi Todd! I agree it's the same room, just rearranged and decor changed a bit. I noticed the bedspread/quilt fron EggTown with all the transportation vehicles is folded up on the shelf/bookcase. It also looks like he went from a "toddler bed" to a "big boy bed". Maybe his interests have changed as time has past and they just changed the theme of the room. As for it being more cluttered...could be on purpose to create a more "ominus" atmosphere or just more stuuf has been accumulated for Aaron. I know with my lil grandsons...their room has now changed since they are in toddlerhood and has become more cluttered...
Or could mean nothing!

Toddintexas, I'm clutching at so many straws that I don't think I have room for even one more!

Addictedfan, the bed is one of the few things that seems the same to me. Maybe that means something (I'm looking for meaning everywhere today).

Yeah addie, I think the bed is one of the few things that is the same in the room, along with the dresser and the boy on the bike painting. But I do agree that the room was set up for a more monious feeling to match the the episode's overall demeanor.

I've actually been having a discussion on another thread with Guinevere, and although I do believe it's the same room, I'm thinking a change could be possible, only because the paintings behind Kate in the hallway are different between Eggtown and SNBH. So when I started thinking that I noticed that in Eggtown, Kate went upstairs to see Aaron, but in the last scene in SNBH, Aaron walks into the Den while Jack and Kate are fighting from the opposite area of where the stairs are, which are by the front door so I thought maybe Aaron's room was different in this episode and was downstairs. So I went back and watched the scene again in the hallway after Jack left Aaron's room and it's definitely upstairs because they have a "gate" blocking the stairs. So why did Aaron come in from the back of the house during the argument? Is there a second set of stairs in the back of the house?

I think the bed was one of those "convertible" toddler to single beds. I may be wrong but I think in Eggtown,Aaron's bed had a "side" up... I'm probably imagining it! LOL!

Nice catch!!! You and your realllly BIG screen TV! LOL!
I bet though the gate being up was just a production mistake. But wouldn't it be cool is we saw Aaron doing a little "astral projecting" ?! ;)

LOL, well the TV does help! I did notice something though, it's doesn't look like a security gate on another viewing, but rather a railing. It looks like it's just an area that overlooks the downstairs, possibly the entryway.
