Spike ,'Potential'
[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
You know, it wasn't 'til I read the thread that I even remembered that we had the Crazy!Claire cliffhanger - THAT'S how much I love a good Locke episode.
It is sad that he has such a good life in the alterna-verse because I also think that it's all going to go to hell.
My question is: how did he break his back in this time line?
He couldn't have broken it under the exact same circumstances because he isn't particularly bitter now (and he was before he got on the plane).
You noticed that Locke has a good relationship with his father this time around? I'm thinking Sawyer's parents aren't dead either...

I meant to say that -- when Helen is saying they should elope, and says they'll just get her parents and his father, I assumed that meant that Papa Locke didn't throw his son out a window in this reality, because that usually means you don't get invited to the wedding.
Did I miss it, or was Kate's name not on the wall?

I think the changes in the alterna-line have to come after the island was blown up. Sawyer's parents would have been killed in the mid 70s, right? (...and it just struck me that he should have been rushing home to prevent the murder-suicide from happening instead of living on the island with the Dharma bums.) But maybe I'm off. I'm not sure how old he's supposed to be.
I sure didn't see Kate's name. Maybe Jacob found her annoying, too.

If we assume that Papa Locke didn't throw Locke out a window, maybe Pap Locke is good in this timeline, and he didn't kill Sawyer's parents. (Er, con them and contribute to their deaths. You know what I mean.)
So maybe Sawyer isn't a con man in this timeline, and telling Hurley on the plane to watch out for people trying to take advantage of him was sincere.

I believe last season Sawyer said to Juliet, when they first came across the Dharma Initiative that where they were in the 70s was past the point of his parents dying.
