First of all I'm not buying that Miles and the whole world would know who Kate is because she killed her step dad. Is she so arrogant to think she is the most wanted in the world. I still don't know the guy's name who shot up Northern Illinois last week so why would people remember her for wacking some neck. I also think the publicity they are receiving is crazy, people would not remember these people because they survived a plane crash I don't care if they were gone for 20 years. We are self absorbed people in a society that is self absorbed and they are mentioning it in every flash forward like their the freakin Beatles. Sorry had to vent
Miles only discovered the details about Kate after the Freighties researched 815's manifest.
Perhaps it was arrogance, but Kate was testing the waters, to see how infamous she was back home. She wanted to know if it was worth her while to go home.
What Kate didn't count on, apparently, was how famous she'd be once she returned -- for the simple fact that she survived the crash.
Miles et al know everything because they were sent there to do... whatever. I have had the same thots about their notariety in the FF tho. Maybe a 15 min of fame thing but to the degree that seems to be happening? Hard to believe
She was a fugitive that died in a plane crash. That's newsworthy. The plane crash was apparently fairly big news so that might have amped up her fame as a criminal.
What I want to know is why all those people think the baby could be hers? If that's true then she would've been SUPER pregnant when she was arrested. Wouldn't the marshall report back that she was 8 months pregnant. that's my nitpicky remark.

I understand that Miles would know because he studied the manifest, but why would she think she was big news back home. Does anyone here know who Stephen Grant is? Probably not he was a nut job who killed his wife and dismember her and just got sentence to 90 years in jail yesterday here in Michigan. His fifteen minutes are expired and he is just another criminal. Besides baby Jessica no one here can come close to remotely naming me a survivor of any recent plane crashes so this fame they are receicving will never be believeable.
Within 24 hours not only did I know the name of the gunman from the Northern Illinois shooting, but I knew about his most prominent thesis project, that he worked in a prison, that he entered the army shortly after 9/11 but was quickly discharged and that his father has diabetes. And I got all that from reading a single Associated Press article. We live in the age of the 24 hour news cycle and while there are plenty of people out there who don't want to know every detail of every murder in the country, there's certainly enough other people who want to consume as much news as possible because the cycle allows for so much of it to be out there.
And it's believable in my opinion the way the Oceanic 6 and Kate Austen have been presented. To be completely honest in real life Kate Austen would be considered the most attractive plane crash survivor/deserter island hero in modern times and the press (especially the internet like TMZ) would be all over her for years just because showing her pretty face would generate sales, ratings and page views.

I agree with you there, but when Miles & Kate talked, Kate was not yet a survivor or a hero. She was just one of 324 confirmed dead.
What I don't understand is why whoever is keeping the Oceanic 6 quiet, and apparently paid off all of them although that isn't really clear, didn't do a better job with arranging Kate's return. Whoever it was must have gotten to the 6 before there was any publicity about their survival. Why not just whisk Kate off to somewhere other than the US or Australia and give her the name of one of the other passengers and at least avoid all of the interest surrounding her. And in n the real world, her acquittal would be the subject of even more publicity.

this is pretty easy to explain away - the whole world knows the baby's not claire's; the mother died, they saved the baby, Kate adopted him after they were found. Which would make his presence in the courtroom as a show of her character enev MORE powerful than if it was her baby.
