nope, he got shot/was in utero in the 70s.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I don't think the bomb going off is the point of divergence. Sadly, I don't remember what gave me that idea, but Eloise and Daniel being alive in the Sideways makes me think it more.

I think it has to be close to that point in history (for example) for Ben to end up the way he has. He wasn't raised on the island. Locke's good relationship with his father?
Faraday ending up as part of the Widmore family? This was years in the making.

I'm thinking it almost has to have been earlier. Though Sawyer's parents are still dead, so maybe not.
But if the whole sideways timeline is more of an illusion than an actual divergent might-have-been, which the wish-fulfillment aspect seems to support, then I just don't know.

When Ilana brought the dynamite back, I was thinking, "Remember Artz? Isn't the dynamite unstable?"

The bleedthrough between the plane crash-y timeline and the non-crashy timeline is weird. And also rather trite, if it's really all about Twoo Wuv.
