And Ben's dad was alive when the bomb went off. That's why I wondered if the flash sideways was just a universe where the bomb went off, destroyed the power source under the island, and thus everyone's life was different from that point forward.

YT no, maybe some of that is from DVD extras, idk. Ben murdered his dad on the island, we see that happen on the show. Not made up.

As far as what you're wondering, that's exactly what you're supposed to wonder during season 6 but the finale tells us that's not what the flash sideways was. In the finale, we're told explicitly by Christian that everything on the Island happened. We're told the flash sideways occurs "after" (though there's not really time "here") everybody died. We see the ones who were ready move on together to whatever the next phase of the afterlife is that they're entering.

Yeah, but he was alive when the bomb went off.

You said:

Maybe I misunderstood this. I thought you meant returned home as in left the island and went back "home." But you really just meant that they went back to their Dharma houses. Yeah, pretty much. It launched our time travelers back to the future and left the Dharmies there and became known as "The Incident" to them and they built the hatch to prevent another incident.

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Garlin was pretty abusive to a few older people on the crew and I think there were issues with him having a hugging problem. He would give them out whether asked for or not or even asked not to and people got tired of it.

dammit wease this is a Lost thread
