However, i was watching a Season 4 deleted scene with Miles, Sayid and Kate. Kate was trying to turn off the pylons and Miles (whether told by a ghost or whatever) just walked straight through them showing that they were already off. So im guessing that nobody bothered to switch them back on, which is why Lapidus and Sun walked straight into Dharmaville. This is a very good thought and a good catch.

I've been under the assumption that the area contained within the pylons is the area that the Hositles have allowed the DI to use. There always seems to be a concern about some one from DI being found near or beyond the pylons.

Something interesting is happening on the island. think we’ll find out it’s something like that because the losties camp is still there which doesn’t make any sense with the different dharmaville.

The question is 'When it comes to two timelines, just how special is the island?". Could both timelines exist together, a co-mingling which could help explain the whispers.

The Dharmaville where Frank and Sun turn up is definately the same place that the others live, the buildings are the same, just different. They have been set decorated in the exact same way as in 1977 when the DI are there, just made to look abandoned (very different to how it is set decorated in others' times). I used to be very anti 2 timeline unitl I noticed these details, and have since gone back and compared all the times we've been shown dharmaville. If you use the rec room as an example - we saw it in 2004 when Kate was held by the others, then in 1977 when Kate, Jack and Hurley arrived in DV, it was the same room they got their jumpsuits, we then see it in 2007 with Frank and Sun. In 1977 there are DI photos on the wall and an inoculation sign, in 2007 the photos and sign are still there, just old and abandoned. In 2004, the photos and sign aren't there! The others took down the DI decorations, so how did they get back up on the walls? There are heaps of other details that tend to say that when we see Sun and Frank, the past hasn't happended in the same way we've already seen. Even the Risk board is very specifically shown and is different to when Sawyer etc.. were playing (supposedly the last time people were there). I think we are going to be shown two timelines, one where the bomb blast in 1977 had some quite far reaching consequences for everyone, not just the 815 crash, this needs to course correct and merge with the timeline we've already seen for everyone to get back on the same page to fight whatever war is coming. 'They're coming' could refer to those in an alternate timeline.

You have a keen eye. I agree that the pylons are only around the back side (the jungle side) of Dharmaville - and not the beach side (the dubbed "reception" area). The shoreline creates a natural fence. Wow. You have a keen eye.

Near the dock is a reception center. The main Dharmaville is a few miles away and had to be travelled to by bus. Or its just a big continuity error. Or maybe they are trying to slip it by us and there is a reason for this. I think part of Dharmaville is on the coast, so maybe that overhead shot is the continuity error. Maybe this is the answer.
