The Tomato

Great moment with Jack and Sun on the beach. The one thing that stuck with me in that scene was Jack revealing that the tomato there was still a tomato growing in the garden. "That's one stubborn tomato. I guess no one told 'it' was supposed to die". Swear I hear Jack say "her" instead of it.

Is that foreshadowing Sun's baby in the Alt timeline? Sun's garden is still bearing fruit. Just wondering.

Re: The Tomato

I just took it as another comment to the question if they are dead or not.

Re: The Tomato

The timing of that scene seemed to hint at something more.

I thought it did as well and wondered if it's something that Sun will remember in the future if she's threatened.

Interesting!
I was surprised to see that in the alt Sun didn't need to gain her freedom, she didn't need to go to the island...
I think Sun is a symbol of liberty in LOST....so i don't know for the child but i hope she didn't die!
Who will try to save her at the hospital? Jack? Ethan? Someone else?

About tomato:
Quote:
Many historians believe that the Spanish explorer Cortez may have been the first to transfer the small yellow tomato to Europe after he captured the Aztec city of Tenochtítlan, now Mexico City, in 1521. Others believe Christopher Columbus, an Italian working for the Spanish monarchy, was the first European to take back the tomato, as early as 1493. The earliest discussion of the tomato in European literature appeared in a herbal written in 1544 by Pietro Andrea Mattioli, an Italian physician and botanist, who named it pomo d’oro, golden apple.
Cortez is Anna Lucia name...

Quote:
Aztecs and other peoples in the region used the fruit in their cooking; it was being cultivated in southern Mexico and probably other areas by 500 BC. It is thought that the Pueblo people believed that those who witnessed the ingestion of tomato seeds were blessed with powers of divination

Re: The Tomato

Where the heck did Sun ever get a tomato seed to plant in the first place in S1?

Re: The Tomato

LOL, indeed. I thought she found wild herbs and transplanted them.
Tomato plants don't live more than one season, not even in Hawai'i. They can grow new plants from seeds in fallen fruit, but that's just tomatoes going wild. It's not one tomato enduring neglect.

Re: The Tomato

I thought the tomato was Sun, who was supposed to die (and will die in the flash-sideways).

Yes, but only in the main timeline. In the sideways timeline, she is still supposed to die.
