Are we to assume Amy's baby is a known, important character in the show? With a Date of birth sometime in 1977, Hurley is the only one that matches. That's a long shot given that he doesn't look that much like the woman(Amy) that gave birth in this episode..

Personally I liked this episode, I thought it was important to age Sawyer the same number of years as the oceanic six. It puts them all on even footing. If they hadn't done that Kate would have been away from Sawyer for 3 years but Sawyer would remember seeing Kate just days before. They just had to give him to get over her and find someone else before bringing them back together.
