Could the bearded-Jack story line only be a possibility.... not a reality?

Majesty that is the pont of this article.

I read that - that's pretty interesting article cd14. It sounds plausible to me.

So the Spirit of Christmas Future asks Scrooge. This episode is called "Through A Looking Glass"...not THE but A. There have been a number of references to Dickens, and also to Lewis Carroll.

I think it may be only ONE possible future. Perhaps starting next season we will be having flash forwards for each character instead of flashbacks. Or else we see the after the island life of each character and the flashbacks are to their past on the island.

Given Desmond's experience and his interaction with Charlie, perhaps the remaining episodes are about how the final future is shaped by their actions before leaving the island.

what if it wasnt a flash forward at all...Just kidding.....
i believe they are sworn to secrecy about the island in return for pardons etc...i say this cos kate is free and worry free despite the reason she was on th flight in first place.....all that trouble to arrest her, send her home...a plane crash would NOT allow her to walk free afte what she has done..Jack was tagged as hero and the others didnt like this - she wasnt happy to see him i felt

also thats is why she doesnt want to go back and jeopardise her future and the resaon Jack believes they need to go back...well....not a fricking clue i'm afraid...defo noe for lifestyle...maybe to save the island from the real world that are now experimenting onit?????????????

I think you are probably right about the "deal" of secrecy about the island. Jack says he is sick of having to lie all the time. Some intervening events with the "rescue" crew are bound to be involved.

As far as Jack's being a "hero" are concerned, this is strictly related to rescuing the two from the car wreck. The most glaring thing about the whole Jack flash forward is the TOTAL absence of reference to the Oceanic crash, the island, and the rescue--except that Jack says: "Do you have any idea what I have been through."

Apparently none of this is known publicly. It's a MUCH bigger deal than the car rescue, but no one mentions it.

Quoting myself... But I forgot to mention. In reference to the Scrooge reference. Through A Looking Glass takes place on or about Christmas Eve (according to Lostpedia it is Dec. 23 or Christmas eve eve.), though no one explicitly mentions Christmas at all.

Incidentally, the Indian Ocean Tsunami is going to occur in three days on 12/26/2004. I wonder if this will be worked in somehow. Increased number of ships in the Pacific, for example.

I have been informed that I am in error about the "A" in the title. This is the what iTunes has for the title, which is what I watched. Too bad, I think it was a good clue. Anyway, I'll stick with the rest for the moment.
