Bump. For those who are interested in tracking this stuff.

hahaha yeah I guess that is what the theory is implying but I just think it’s too complicated a theory to explain to the audience. I hope season 6 isn’t as hard to follow as season 5 was (however I watched the episodes after they premiered back to back so had I had a week to discuss and think about each episode it probably would’ve been easier to comprehend). It’s a really cool idea and who knows, it could be partially correct but I think the Oceanic camp pretty much dismisses the theory.

What I do believe is that an alt-timeline will be in some form and that the characters will have recollection of everything that happened in the alt-timeline.

Yeah, reading the thread you’re responding to normally does help.

and also lol I only scanned the theory so if this is what the theory is suggesting then please forgive me for that too lol.

I’m a big Lost fan but I haven’t thought about it as much as you guys and I still have many questions about the show that I’m sure have already been answered so forgive me for my ignorance and newbishness (word? lol) but…

Is it possible that the flash created a new timeline and that the present (time with Sun and Ben) changed? Like say there are two timelines where the plane crashes and the plane never crashes. The timeline where the plane crashes is the one where Jack and the others never go back to the 70s to detonate Jughead. The timeline where the plane doesn’t crash is when Jack and the others DO go back to the 70s and detonate Jughead. And that at the time of the flash Sun, Ben group were teleported into the new timeline where Jack and the others were successful in detonating Jughead and thus the plane never crashed in 04. If that’s the case could that be a part of the loophole (be it MiB’s loophole or Jacob if he has one)

I’m sure I’m wrong and I’m sure there are a billion plot holes and flaws in that suggestion so forgive me.

Looking forward to it.

Yeah Achalli, that’s right – it is.

However, this thread has become a bit of a mess of misunderstanding what I’m trying to articulate re Ajira, so I’m going to start a new one from a different angle.

(Feel free to continue to discuss the other aspects of the theory here if you want of course!)

Yojimbo, although I agree with your concept of alternate timelines playing out at the same time, I still disagree with it all starting with Ajira. I still think that the two events most likely to have caused the scenario you describe is the destruction of the Swan in season 2 when the button was not pushed. I believe this to be the cause due to the amount of energy released.

The other canidate is the FDW, itself. From what we have been shown, part of the FDW’s function causes time displacement. As Elsewhere mentioned, a time flash happened at the moment that Ajira was near the Island. But the flash did not necassarily happen because of Ajira. Ajira just happen to be in the right place at the right time.

But, I think you are on the right track with the idea of the alt. timelines and realities playing out side by side. IMO this is the nitty gritty of the theory.

Hm, I guess I forgot about Jacob’s potential ability to foresee things. Ok, so perhaps it wasn’t Jack & Co that got the Others to build the runway. It was just Jacob trying to help his people to be able to land safely and show up outside the statue at the right point in time, namely as a cliffhanger for the next season.

I just took it as a given that when Juliette says they are building a runway “for the aliens” or whatever smart-arsed comment that she was being relatively truthful, and this is the runway. I would figure it’s just another “Jacob thing” to add to the list…
