Also, last season when Sun asked Richard if he remembered seeing Jack, Jin and the rest in 1977 he said yes, because he saw them died. He didn't say disappear, like he said of Locke in the 50's, so I assume he actually saw them die.

Is that something that is going to be related to these two time lines?

Free will is the key here. You can express to someone what you think they should do but they ultimately have to make and follow through with that decision by themselves. That is the rule they're working with here. Neither of the participants can directly affect the existence of the other.

I think it was revealed that was Jin's plan after he delivered the watch. Remember the english speaking guy in the bathroom after Sun spilled something on Jin at the Sydney airport? He started speaking Korean and basically said he knew what Jin was going to do, but there was nowhere he could hide that Mr. Paik could find him.

That does ring a bell. That would have been season 2 or 3? I'd have to go back and watch. All I remember for sure was that Sun was planning on ditching Jin.

When Kate was in the tree and the sound was 'off', it sounded like she was underwater...

That was true as well. Jin went to visit his father in the village and he told him that to save his marriage, they should get away from Sun's father (don't remember if he specifically said to go to America).

-The stewardess handing Jack only 1 bottle of vodka instead of 2
-No Charlie walking briskly down the aisle pre-turbulence
-Rose\Jack dialogue reversal
-Kate's Marshall guy Edward getting the exact same cut on his head from Kate as he did when the plane crashed and his briefcase hit him
-Kate getting some sort of coy interactions with both Jack and Sawyer
-Kate ending up in an intense situation with Claire
-Sun not speaking English when prompted with perfect scenario to do so
-Jack\Locke meeting on good terms
We automatically assume that Locke was lying to Boone, but perhaps in the NC reality, Locke actually went on his walkabout.

Another thought about Esau playing Ben, it would have been Esau who Ben summoned when he put his hand in the drain and called for help with the boat crew.

Or she had just been within mere feet of a very very very very very loud explosion.

Much more logical.

Or a Time Flash like Miles (I think) commented on the symptoms being similar. As far as I know neither Kate, Jack, Hurley, or Sayid experienced those.

kind of hard to do in his current physical condition. Locke went on a walkabout as much as i walked on the moon.

Yeah, I was thinking there were going to show him get up and walk off the plane. No walkabout, just telling a lie to feel better about himself.

Maybe jacob used his body for a while. Just a tidbit, but how is his body lost but the others make it to LAX....

Interesting thought that the Hydrogen bomb may not have actually gone off, but they just traveled back to 2007 again. Very plausible theory.

Other than the obvious longer hair, it's interesting to see how Matthew Fox has aged since the Pilot. They did a really good job recreating that scene in the Plane.

It would seem that Widmore was only being an asshole to Desmond in order to keep him away from Penny and get him on the island to push the button. Notice how his attitude toward Desmond changes after he makes it back from the island.

Without the button to press, Widmore wouldn't need to try to drive a wedge between Penny and Desmond. Desmond doesn't need a big stunt to impress Widmore.
And then he never trains for that big stunt and never meets Jack and Jack can't recognize him. Fail.

An interesting thing I read was that Damon & Carlton consider us far too deep into the show for anything to be "throwaway". They don't refer to the timelines as "alternate" timelines because, they do not want to reach a point in the sixth season of the show where there's a "gotcha!" moment and one timeline is true, while the other is false. The audience is too invested for anything presented this season to be regarded as taking any time away from "the story", so: everything being presented on the show is essential to the storytelling of Season 6. With this in mind I'm really interested in seeing how these come together. I also remember reading vague interviews months ago where Matthew Fox mentions [semi-spoiler]
Spoiler:
That while the show presented a new narrative device for "about the first third" of the season, eventually it becomes purely linear in the leadup to the finale

But if Esau was playing Locke , why did Jacob appear in the flashback where he's crippled? Or was that Esau pretending to be Jacob?

Maybe Jacob is playing Esau to play Ben to play Locke so that Esau will kill Jacob thereby lowering his guard so Jacob can deal with Esau once and for all?

So then poor Locke is just a pawn in a battle between two demi-gods who are both just a pair of dicks?

If Locke had went on the walkabout then he wouldn't be on the plane. He would be somewhere in the outback. The only reason he was on flight 815 was because he didn't go on the walkabout and flew home early.
