It's fun to jibber jabber about what may or may not be real or unreal on LOST. It's an insane show. It has its own internal logic, but none of us is privy to the workings of that internal logic. So from the outside, we are just guessing. That's all we can do.
However, if you study the show over and over as I have, you can pick up an awful lot that isn't apparent on just one or two viewings. And that's what I love. This show is so deep and rich that it can be watched over and over. At least, I can watch it over and over.
I hadn't realized that Kate took Jack's pen in the Flash Sideways, which is what ABC is calling the second time line in 2004 where the plane does not crash. Kate came out of the potty on the plane and bumped into Jack and while she smiled and smiled and Jack smiled and smiled, she was actually pickpocketing his pen, which she would use the airport potty to try to unlock her handcuffs. Took me a couple of viewings to catch that. That's just a tiny detail, but I like catching things that I hadn't discerned the first time.
I have no guesses as to where this season is heading. Previously, I swore up and down that the volcano on which the Island sits was going to be play a big part in the final season. I suppose it still could, but I'm not so sure. However, what I've noticed in this show is that whatever the writers choose to highlight in previous episodes eventually comes into play. It may take years, but they usually do. And then again, some don't, like the tagged seagull to which Claire attached a poignant message in Season 3. The seagull may have landed somewhere, but now, with this whole new twist and double time lines and alternate realities, who the hell knows.
