But that got dropped as he naturally aged--though seems like with the 3 year jump ahead with the time travel and off island stuff they could have brought him back and explained that plot line as his real age would have matched up pretty well---after all he did pop back briefly when Locke found him.
Anyway, glad you and others like it. I hate religious mumbo jumbo, and love sci-fi/fantasy. So them "ripping off the sci-fi mask" this last season ruined the show for me and I'll never re-watch it.

So you're OK with Hurley and Miles having unexplained powers, but not explaining Walt bugs you?
I'm pretty sure the Others kidnapped Walt because he was a child, not because he had special powers, and I think the explanation for the child kidnappings is there within the show, you just have to piece it together.
As for the 'religious mumbo-jumbo' - it was there, all bright and glaring, all along. I don't understand why anyone was surprised.
