[Show spoiler]There were actually quite a few differences between this flight and the original. I think it's the butterfly effect of detonating the bomb on (and sinking?) the island 30 years ago. Desmond's able to be there because there was never a hatch for him to be in. It's very possible that Charles Widmore and Eloise Hawking (and the unborn Daniel Faraday) all perished when the island sank. That would have drastically altered Desmond's life. But none of that explains WHY he's on the plane. That could be important.
Another odd change was that Shannon did not accompany Boone back from Australia. Seems like a rather odd change. What about this new timeline caused her to not be on that plane? What dominoes fell differently in her life?
And, perhaps most importantly, Sawyer had longer hair on the plane this time. Apparently detonating the bomb back in 1977 caused a series of events to unfold that prevented him from getting a haircut that week.  |
The thread title states not to view this thread if you do not want to see spoilers, not [User spoiler tags]. Also, talking about an already aired episode isn't considered a spoiler imo.
I really enjoyed the season opener. I'm not sure what to think with Sayid. Jack did pronounce him dead and as they've stated numerous times, you cannot bring anyone back from the dead, 'Dead is Dead' when it comes to the island. So I am leaning towards Jacob being in his body.
I thought that the opening scene with the island being underwater was really significant. Notice how its not as if an atomic bomb went off as it was underwater? If it was blown up, then everything on the island wouldn't be there and it'd be close to a craeter or something to that nature, not 10,000 leagues under the sea.
I was also puzzled about Shannon's disappearance from the plane how Boone was unable to convince her from leaving Australia. Though its not because her body isn't still on the island somewhere as Sayid burried her just like Boone. Not to mention how Hurley's money is now GOOD luck.
Also, why isn't Christian's body on the plane? Jack (now) states that he checked in the casket, so therefore, more than likely, it disappearred after they were teleported back to the event. Do you think that the island took his body as a price to send him back and of course because they were sent back their memories are erased as well.
I really do think that their memories are erased and Jack is just remembering Desmond from the sports stadium and not the island. Of course Jack stared at Kate for a long time as clearly he is attracted to her.
I don't know, thats just my two cents for now.
