It very much seems like alternate universes. At first I thought the bomb may have split them off into a different time-line, but it seems to be more than that. E.g., Hurley now considers himself to be "the luckiest guy in the world [universe?]." That's a huge change in personality. And Desmond was on the plane? He should have already been on the island entering the code every 108 minutes.

Locke is dead. I don't think there's any question about that. Man In Black/Smokey is definitely masquerading as Locke and I don't think he's hiding that fact now.

No, when was that? The opening when they were "flying" underwater at the beginning, showing the sunken island or when Sayid was being "drowned"?

Then Desmond disappeared. Did he move seats or is he time traveling again?

When they were showing the sunken island. It was shortly before they showed the statue foot.

Yes, I am quoting myself:

Or was it to keep Smoky in the cabin. We learned that Ben can control Smoky and it looked like Smoky lived in a cave in the Others' village but now it seems that isn't the case.

I think it was to keep Smoky/UnLocke in. And I think that Ben only thinks he can control the smoke monster. He's got to be not so sure now...

If the bomb worked, though, there would be no reason for Desmond to be pushing the button every 108 minutes.
