Usually Desmonds jumps thru time have only been to places he has been to in the past.....so he either was:

1) On the plane all the way from Sydney to LA
2) Never on the plane.
3) On the plane in Jack's mind only.
4) We(and Jack) witnessed more than one alternate flight 815....one with Desmond and one without(perhaps this has something to do with Charlie)

or

5) Desmond now has a new skill


Speaking of Desmond.....last we heard of him he swore off the whole Island affair but was warned by Hawking that his part wasn't finished.

Since then we have not seen Desmond but Hawking's plan to explode the H bomb was carried out; which leads me to believe that her plan extends beyond the H-bomb and that Desmond does indeed have a part to play

We assume we did, but you know what happens when we assume.

How do we really know the bomb went off? What proof do we have?

After 5 years of LOST I don't consider the alternate timelines, alternate universes or Juliet saying "it worked" confirmation.

Good point....perhaps it didn't go off(but what proof do we have that it didn't)

Perhaps what we are witnessing is what happens if the bomb denonates(plane?) and what happens if it does not??? Kind of a Schrodingers Cat exercise.....maybe the whole point of LOST is to answer the age old question, once and for all, "if a tree falls in the forest..."

So to sum up, so far the season of Answers is really just more questions.

In the enhanced series recap before the season premiere the captioning states clearly "bomb detonation".

fwiw
