That was the same guard. Remember in season 3 sawyer & kate were locked in cage for a bunch of episodes... (they got it on for the cameras and everything..) @Theresafallsupthestairs..

I also strongly believe that these aren't flash sideways, and are instead a retrospective look at what has happened as a result of the detonation of the Jughead in 'The Incident'. To me this would make alot of sense. Don't know if anyone else has picked up on this but when Kate and Jin were with the pair from the Temple, one mentioned that he was one of the guards that Kate knocked down when she escaped from prison 3 years ago. I don't know about anyone else, but I can't remember Kate being imprisoned in the original timeline. Also, in 'The Lighthouse' Jack was unsure of how he got his scar on his torso (later being told by his mother that it was when his appendix was taken out). Could it be possible that those who were responsible for detonating the bomb are living an alternate reality? Unlikely because it seems pretty hard for me to explain with it making any sense at all. Anyway, I'm rambling and sorry for being inaccurate. First time poster, joined today. Watch out for Boone, he will be significant in this season.

I think that Jacob is trying to get Jack to do something (not sure what yet) that will reset everything somehow, so that Jacob isn't killed, and can touch the candidates, etc. Chicken/egg again, right?

Ex. From wheree did David come? Trying to figure out 'why' Rose/Bernard were so danged happy in sideways seemed a fun mental game ... but it makes less and less sense that because Juliet used the bomb the island sunk so ... Locke's dad's mister wonderful!?! Better have a big payoff. Currently, just wastin' time w/boring stories that make no sense (oh boy, Jack's son afraid to mention to his dad he's a piano prodigy ... like Dogan's kid. Oh look, it's Kate, running. Let's waste time getting her cuffs off.) It doesn’t make sense that the plane just landed safely. Ex. From wheree did David come?

The alt is showing us a reality where the losties were never on the island, and in turn didn't do what they did in 'the incident' and this is why the island sunk!!! Man, I gotta write a theory on this one. Man, now this is confusing, but if as

The writers are leading us to believe there is a link between the two timelines, and that there might be a crossover, or merging, or that Jack might be having some de ja vu moments, or that maybe the island isn't so important afterall so we're still unsure of whats gong on, then BOOM!!! We never saw it coming. I'm sure that the characters we love, their counterparts in the ALT are all going to die and we'll see it happen! Could it be the end of the world as we know it in the other reality? If it is the case, i'm really exited to find out how.
