Oh, I'm not being sarcastic. This is just a speech impediment.

Frank is the Pilot. He's replacing the guy from Heroes as the first person smokey killed. Someone has to fly off into the sunset at the end.

I lived in The Green Zone
and I thought that since I hadn't come across much commentary on the web about the movie from the perspective of someone who was there, I naturally felt that I wanted to add my two cents.

Yes it totally works for Locke; Locke was murdered by Linus before they exploded the nuke. So once they "fix" things by doing that, Locke does have a future in the sideways flashes since he never gets murdered because he never goes to the island. Then, if they choose to "erase" their sideways lives for some reason,…

Of course, you said it better, but that's why you earn the big bucks.

Theory cred, please
"but I also predict—as many of you already have—that this resolution has already occurred, and that the season-opening scene at the imploded hatch takes place after our gang has given up their other lives and jumped back."

ack!
I'm Dean and Britta's Number Seven fan.

I was sort of thinking right along those lines… but I don't really want to guess exactly where things are going. Never a good idea on this show. I was just thinking what would a neat way be to fit the side flashes in so that they made sense in the overall plot.

it's a trick
I think that in season 6, the "flash sideways" is the present, and the on-island events are a flash forward. I think in the sideways storyline, we're going to see them remember what happened before, and that by nuking the island they allowed evil to sink the island. So they'll get a Jacobian chance to go…

Are you guys talking about the Zeltsman Marimba Festival?
