For the past seven weeks we’ve been trying to crack the very point of the Lost flash sideways, the way it related to the Island timeline and all the mess that’s happening there. Or maybe we’ve given up on it. Sure, there will be answers soon, but connecting those two timelines seems quite a task. How exactly do you reconcile all that we knew about the show’s characters over the past five years, with a revisionist take on their back stories? We’ve seen slightly different versions of the same people, doing slightly different things with slightly different versions of those close to them. It doesn’t connect easily.
Nope, I don’t have an idea about that. What I have, though, is some vague idea on what these scenarios are trying to tell us.
