There are other "chicken and egg"ish concepts already - that friggin' compass, maybe the knife, others I can't currently think of. I don't see Sun's character being important beyond the drawn out and uninteresting Sun and Jin reunion. I guess maybe Ji Yeon could be the important part but she's still a baby and not on the island. In the potential ALT/815 lands scenario - it's possible she would have left Jin at the airport in Sydney or would have left him earlier and wouldn't be a part of the ALT story....unless in the ALT she never meets Jin, instead marries that other guy, they go to Los Angeles, ALT Jin arrives there, she's wearing orange one day, they meet, yadda yadda. The only difference would be no Ji Yeon. WTF does that kid have to do with the story?!!!!! BanLinus:

I think it will be explained beyond that. ScrollLocke, your reasoning for Sun not going to 1977 is very ‘which came first the chicken or the egg’ -ish.

It landed in the ALT because of the lack of original 815ers and not enough 815 proxies. Sun and John and adult Ben didn't flash to 1977 simply because they were never in 1977. Time is linear - but appears otherwise because of perspective. Here’s an idea:

Sun dies in the alternate timeline and to course correct she is delivered to the island in 2007. Thus, Jack, Jin, etc(from the alternate time line) will also be delivered to the island 2007.

But it is also a bisarre explanation because it's completely unrealistic. Hmm... It’s an excellent explanation because it fits.

Also, I do believe our losties always went to 1977. I just think sun didn't end up there bc the real john Locke didint ask her. That's what always happened. ;). He also never asked Ben or Flocke so it makes sense. Ok the replication reason is just a theory at this point. Also, I do believe our losties always went to 1977.

If whatever happened, happened, meaning time is linear (regardless of perspective) - then Jack, Kate, Hurley, and Sayid were always in 1977. Sun and John were never in 1977. Therefore - Sun and John (dead or alive) can never be on the island in 1977 - so they didn't flash there via 316. Just to complicate things for fun….

Any thoughts on why Locke didn't go to 1977? Would he have gone to 1977 if he had been alive when he reached the island? And any thoughts on why they went to 1977, of all possible years? Excellent!
