I don’t care about plot holes or inconsistencies right now. This is awesome! 😛 ETA: I got a little misty at the Charlie Claire reunion. I really liked how that was handled. ---

## Wow, Ben saved Hurley, and now is trapped by a tree. So, looks like Jack and Smokey were both right. Desmond pulling the cork will sink the island, but it also makes Smokey just a man, and able to be killed. From ALT Desmond’s comments, I think that Des is getting the people together in the ALT world just so that they can remember and be together. But most of them are staying put in sideflashland – especially those who are otherwise dead in Island time. ALT Desmond is coming back, though – to help resolve island events. Makes me wonder if all other island Losties will die (maybe except for Jack – or perhaps even Jack, just not Desmond) – but living on in sideflashland. ---

Ahhhh, now the ALT Jack neck mark is explained. The “I can feel my legs” is very reminiscent of Sarah (Island Jack’s ex-wife) and her miraculous pinkie-toe movements. ---

> [@Mahaloth](#): > > Wait. > > ARE THE FLASH SIDEWAYS THEIR FUTURES? > > Is Smoke-Locke going to sink the Island, but they will institute a plan to revive it and get back to it in the “future”. Them regaining their memories could be part of their plan. I was thinking the exact same thing. The fact that Sun “remembered” her life and death with Jin is very confusing in this regard though, as is Locke’s seeming rebirth(?) as real Locke instead of fake Locke. Very interesting though. ---

So does Smokey being de-powered mean Jack was, too? Is he no longer Jacobized? If so, wow. Worst. Island. Protector. Ever! ---

Lapidus: “Miles, go fix the plane with duct tape!” I think ALT Desmond will come back to put the plug back in the island. Jack, knife to the gut, now walking around “just a flesh wound”. He’s been taking cues from Jack Bauer this season. ---
