Flashforward Timeline

Posted 4 months ago, 931 Views, 7 Comments

Does anyone have any ideas on the arrangement of events we've seen (and will see, in future episodes) in flash-forwards? 

So far we know that Jack and Hurley's conversation in the mental institution's gymnasium takes place before beardJack's meltdown with Kate at LAX. Thoughts on where Sayid's action occurs in the future contiuum?

I believe all the flash forwards are supposed to lead into to Jack/Kate at LAX fast forward. My guess is we will somehow see that again before they push any new FF past that time. They said in the interview today that they would show who was in the coffin by the end of the season so maybe that is how they will get back to it. Not sure if Sayid's is before Hurley's or vice versa.

I have a theory:
The flashbacks were always assumed to be memories. Everything was from a specific character's point of view.
What if what we are seeing in the current episodes and that we believe to be flashfowards, are not really flashforwards at all but fantasies that Kate, Sayid, Hurley & Jack are having about what could happen IF they were to get off the island?

What could be worse for them:
Kate captured and on trial.
Sayid an assassin working for Ben.
Hurley committed again.
Jack a junkie.
These are their worst nightmares!!!

There, I said it!

While they are valid theories HellBLZER, Amy is correct, in that they did say in the interview today that all of the flash forwards are leading up to Kate and Jack at LAX. Now, as far as how much time has passed between each FF, that is another question. Because clearly, some **** must hit the fan in between Jack and Kate's FF, b/c Jack goes from caring friend, to crazy junkie....

The thing that is getting me the most is Aaron's age. He looks 2. And he looked only 3 mths maybe 6. And how does Kate claim him as her son. Is she up front on him not really being her but adopting him or is she saying something different. But the age is the thing thats really nagging me.

I definitely agree with Amy, and just to guess, here's what I think the timeline is:

1. Hurley gets committed
2. Kate gets acquitted (ok not really, but it rhymed and I couldn't resist)
3. Sayid acts out an Alias-meets-Lost fun time
4. WE HAVE TO GO BACK!!!!!!!
