Good point.

Still, I dunno if there’s enough time to go into all that. Definitely possible though.

We don’t actually know that Sun was “pretending” not to know English. What if, in the sideways reality, she never had a motivation to learn it in the first place?

Related to that, many have commented on how she was called “Ms. Paik” and that neither she nor Jin had wedding bands on. It’s likely that they aren’t married in the sideways reality, which means she hasn’t had an opportunity to become deeply unhappy, seek out Jae Lee, have an affair, and learn English…

I don’t think we have actually had proof that the sideways plane trip in LA X was on September 22, 2004. What if it was on another date?

He’s obviously still on good terms with Locke, but whether or not he’s a “good guy” remains to be seen. He may well still be conning him, even if the rest of their backstory is different.

I like the idea of Sawyer running a long con on Flocke that reflects a parallel layered con in the sideways universe, and it was absolutely priceless (couldn’t resist the pun) hearing her call him “Dimples”! I am so looking forward to this episode!

more thoughts …
If Ben’s turning the wheel made the Island sink (the people on the raft thought that it disappeared after the explosion)then how could those who were left behind, like Juliet and Sawyer still live while being under water (does the Island have a waterproof force field?)

And if the FS is a shot at redemption, why does Jack have a teenage son in the FS but not have one in the first timeline nor in the scenes when they get off the island in Season 4, while all the other Candidates in the FS thus far are interacting with other characters that were already introduced in the earlier seasons?

And could there be any connection with/allusion to Jacob=founder of Israel and David= founder of Jerusalem?

It’s a nice thought, but isn’t Cooper a good guy in the Flash-Sideways? I can’t imagine Locke wanting to invite him to his wedding if he was still the man we knew from the original timeline.

I think it’s obvious “Jimmy” is some kind of law enforcement, and I won’t be suprised if Miles is working with him (like in Dharma Days).

Also, I think “Recon” is a title that is suppose to make you think about Sawyer being a con man (just like “Sundown” made me think I was gonna see a Sun and Jin episode), but it will become more literal (much like “Sundown” was reference to the sun going down)…”Recon” is going to be about Sawyer (and prolly Kate) infiltrating (or doing recon on) FLocke’s camp. I don’t think “Dimples” (or “Freckles”) have any intention of of joining forces with the bad guys.

You are on the list of worst LOST reviewers– in style and content. It’s like listening to a protracted fart.

I don’t think he’s either a cop or a conman: I think he’s telling the truth. The twist is going to be that he really is on his way to make a business deal with someone who wants to see the money upfront, and the case did accidentally fly open.

What if the Sideways is the life that they lead as a result of their resolution of their problems or their redemption. SW Jack finally realized that what he didn’t have with his father could be had by he and his son – a good relationship where each accepted the other with no strings. This gave Jack his redemption on the Island. SW Sayid understands that his fate is to be a killer no matter how much he tries to be a good man by virtue of Nadia never being his. Island Sayid accepts his role as killer. They will all get this oppourtunity to chose and eventually the SW will meld into the Island as the Losties meet thier fate.

might it be that she is actually bounty hunter… or maybe she’s trying to out-con the con? should be interesting…

Except she’s got a gun on him. I’m not sure he’d be calling someone holding a gun on him stupid if she wasn’t wrong. And we’re talking about the sideways reality where Ben is a history professor caring for his ailing dad (who he killed in the island timeline). I don’t think it’s farfetched. Especially as a poster above mentioned – Sawyer’s already held a law-enforcement role before (during his Dharma days).

A cop or Narc wouldn’t have just got done bone-ing the girl. He’s a conman, but was expecting her reaction and this scene is justthe beginning of a larger con.

Now thats a vaild theory you got there. That would more follow the lines of Sawyers character and the whole general theme of LOST… Good Idea…

By: lostsurvivor

lostsurvivor — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 15:49:43 +0000

I dont know, I am thinking not, he probably just said that she is stupid because she is probably stupid. Remember now, sawyer is all in all a bad boy. Having him become a cop is a little farfetched. And even if, what was the set-up, he had the money, and was trying to con her…

Yeah that was definatley a play on the “Nicknames”, he gave to all the losties. Something fishey, not sure if they would make him a cop though. I bet his mom was never conned, and both his parents are still alive…

By: lostsurvivor

lostsurvivor — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 15:43:58 +0000

Interesting theory you got, there is definately something fishey about the whole timeline aspect. You know, How would a nuke sink a Island anyway? Is that even a realistic outcome of a nuke going off. I dont think so. If you dropped a A-Bomb on Hawaii, it would not sink….

Sawyer seems to be a bad con man right? He keeps getting caught red handed. Maybe that it actually part of his con right?

I probably didn’t write well. But Im not saying they happen after. I was suggesting they might be happening in the same timeline during the gap between 2004 and 2007. Cool idea in my head but way too many discrepancies for it to be true.

Gretchen! Funny how she’s in basically the same role as in Prison Break.
