I started to watch "Flashes Before Your Eyes" again from Lost, the episode that Ms. Hawking first appeared, because I felt it holds a lot of relevance to this season. And within the first few minutes I realized something really interesting.
Desmond saved Claire first.
Of course, we all remember quite well "ya gonna die, Charlie." We remember story after story of Desmond trying to save Charlie, but ultimately undone by "fate." The show drew us to Charlie being saved.
But Desmond saved Claire first.
At the beginning of "Flashed Before Your Eyes," Claire is drowning in the ocean and Desmond's intuition draws him to the water to save her. Now think of the other times Claire seemingly was in a situation that faced certain death when she was saved. It happened A LOT.
So if we go with the theory that time must unfold a certain way, that you can't beat fate, then Claire has been supposed to die for quite sometime. Her disappearance still remains a mystery. But maybe she's already been dead for quite sometime, like the other "dead" on the island. Perhaps she only came to terms with that fact when she saw Christian Shepherd, her dad.
I think Claire is dead. The question remains: when did she die?
