My current theory is that the bomb "worked" in that it changed the timeline, but eveyone will still end up back on the island in the new altered timeline anyway With Jack's dad disappearing, John's knives getting lost, Charlie getting arrested, Kate back on the run with Claire as unintentional hostage, they aren't exactly living happily ever after in the alternate timeline

Yep, that's what I said. I guess we'll see if we're right.

I'm really sad about Locke. The only one who loved the island is dead and being usedby smokey/man in black to destroy it. I also just love his backstory. I wonder if his body willl end up in the temple. It would be fitting.

Me, too. :(

I enjoyed the show but seeing him, in the plane in the 'after' shots, his conversations, made me sad.

Good point scaeagles, thank you. Do you think he and Desmond still met at the stadium years before?

Differences between flashsideways timeline and original timeline from Lostpedia

When Sayid was looking at his passport, the blurb in English on the right said if it's found in IRAN it should be returned to the nearest police officer. Wasn't old Sayid from Iraq?

I loved seeing all the characters come back, even briefly. Charlie, Claire...the actor playing Boone aged too much, despite the ton of makeup they put on him (not HD friendly).

I especially loved that moment when Bernard made it back to his seat. A tailie no more. :)

I don't he did, although Jack did recognize him so who knows. The thing is, Desmond was there training for a race organized by Charles Widmore(who wanted to find the Island)....does Charles still want to find this Island even though it's at the bottom of the Ocean???

What if the "nuke blast" wasn't actually a bomb blast and instead was everyone jumping time. We *think* they stopped time jumping but maybe they didn't.

Interesting idea, but then how is there a different timeline when the plane didn't crash, and the island is under water?

Could Jacob and the man in black be Greek gods, and the Island be Mt. Olympus or Atlantis?

Why not? We're making assumptions based upon what we know which are leading our line of thinking down a path that may be completely incorrect.

We know that when Juliet pounded on the bomb the screen turned white. We also know that the screen turned white whenever they would jump time.

We know that there have been time jumps already. Why couldn't there be a completely alternate universe where the plane never crashes? We 'think' we know that Jack recognizes people on the plane. But is it a can't place them look or a I know for sure I know them from somewhere, why don't they recognize me look.

Was the red mark on Jack's neck from the turbulence (somehow) or the explosion/time jump?

Was Desmond really on the plane or was he jumping through time and ended up on the planet for a few moments.
