LOST the Final season: discussion thread

[MC]

oh and i a new theory now about the sunken island and believe it or not its sort of SIMPLE..

in the alternate reality they never crashed and thus they never went back in time to 77' to detonate the bomb.... the bomb acted as the original failsafe key and stopped ( or atleast controled) the electromagnetic energy from destroying the island that dharma was about to release from drilling too deep.... my proof is the failsafe key... dharma learned from the jughead incident that as a last resort they can use a small nuclear blast to contain it.. so the alternate reality is what if the island never existed past the point of the incident... which could some how account for all the differences weve seen in a butterfly effect sort of wat and that could mean alot of people dont exist in this new reality

basically they crashed on the island in 2004 because they detonated the bomb in 77 so there would be an island to crash on in 2004.. think of it as an endless loop like richard giving the compass to locke in 2007 and locke giving it back to richard in 1954 so he could give it back to locke in 2007... the compass doesnt exist outside of that loop..
