On another note, something that's been bothering me...

We were told (more or less) that Oceanic 815 was brought down because of the magnetic field generated when Desmond was late punching in the numbers at the Swan station, right? BUT, obviously, there was some reason that flight was brought down otherwise, what with all of the people linked together and with the island....So, which is it?

Try using circular logic and the answer will become obvious.

Remember, Daniel has already told us that Time is like a Record player(and we've seen on numerous occasions thru-out this series hints to that as well).

So you see; the reason they are linked together is that they crashed on the Island and the reason they crashed together on the Island is that they are linked together.

Don't try to think in a straight line......you'll end up with a nose bleed

Oooo, the plotus thickenus.

I tend to think that they are approaching time from a string theory or parallel universe perspective. Nonetheless, I hadn't thought about the crash in that way.

I'm beginning to wonder if the island is where all "whens" that exist concurrently collide.

Actually, Iacobi (hence Jacob) is Latin for James.
