It'll be interesting to see how this whole "true love" theme figures. With Daniel/Charlotte, Desmond/Penny, Charlie/Claire, Hurley/Libby, and I suppose the married couples (Sun/Jin, Rose/Bernard) it's pretty cut and dry. But Locke? The Kate/Sawyer/Jack/Juliette love parallelogram? Interesting that for Charlie, Daniel, and Desmond, there was a definitive true love tie that seemed to bridge the divide between flash-sidways and Island, but at least some of the others lack that clear-cut tie.

We didn't see Brad and we deleted the episode!!!

It was a great one, though. Going to catch him on ABC.com now.

One interesting tidbit........Desmond was wearing a wedding ring on the plane in LA X.......no wedding ring last night(not even at the airport).

Are these flash-sideways representative of a single alternate reality or multiple alternates?

or representative of continuity errors? ;)

No. Something that significant would not be a continuity error. Everything has a reason in this show.

It was pointed out on Lostpedia that the nurse that refused to give Desmond information on Charlie was the same actress that plaid a nurse at the mental hospital that Hurley was in, with the inference that it might be the same character. Interesting little connection.

Desmond saying "Who's Penny?" Priceless.

The guy who plays Daniel really pulled off the alternate character. Great actor!

You know, if I'm ever having confusing visions and odd encounters with strangers, and I begin trying to follow the clues, and someone says to me "You're not ready yet, turn back now, stop asking questions", I don't think I'd stop. Seriously, is there a good way for someone to stop someone else from continuing on the journey? Because while I was thrilled to hear Eloise confirming that this is something big, I have to say the overused dialogue is hokey and doesn't come across as threatening in the slightest.

Perhaps, but they don't usually go out of their way to point the continuity error out:

lol! :D
Represent LoT on Lost!

Now here's an interesting thing... There was a whole scene that I was in that wasn't shown. The friend who got me on the set said it could be shown on episode 13. So if all goes well and I don't end up on the cutting room floor, I could be in 2 episodes. Woohoo!

So, yeah, I got to meet the Hobbit guy, the Party of Five guy and Desmond. I got to see Desmond with his shirt off. Yay, me! Desmond said I was a "funny guy".

Being on the set was fun. They fed us. I was happy about that.

People on the crew were fascinated by the fact that I don't watch the show and only saw halfway through the first season. They kinda treated me like a visitor from outer space. lol

VVV Me in my doctor costume. The goatee was drawn on by the makeup ladies. VVV

I think that there may be 10 or more iterations of the sideways/alternate reality.

Somehow, Desmond did get married and the reality we are seeing in LA X is one in which he is married....the reality we saw last night was an earlier iteration.

The X in LA X has got to mean something....why not 10th iteration?
