There was probably more than one pair of tennis shoes on the plane when it crashed.
Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I hope at least Seska skims the last few pages. I included a non-religious analogy that I hope will help quell your disappointment.
Heh. I have been busy, but will read it today. I'm delighted you appealed to my inner closeted skeptic.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I have not yet read the review.
I do wish that sideways world wold have been an offshoot of real world, and everyone would have just remembered, and gathered anyway.
Except Rose would still be cured.
Yes, I am Pollyanna.

Finally read all 36 pages, Cindy. You made me hate the finale a little bit less, not to mention remembering the bits I loved. All except the last fifteen minutes - religious and secular metaphors notwithstanding. (I'm going to miss your Lost recaps!)

Unanswered questions continue to plague me. Specifically, do we know that the island-based infertility problem was the result of the Incident?
My biggest consolation is that I said, at the end of season five, that I was sure they had caused their own entire situation by setting off the bomb. That seems to have turned out to be right - although they side-stepped the point entirely, by focusing on the 'sideways reality'. (I'd have much preferred a season six where we saw the results of the Incident in more detail. But there you go.)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Seska,
Jacob mentioned that he brought them to the island (because they were unfulfilled), so I'm not sure they really "caused" their own situation.

He did. But they also set off the Bomb that caused the Incident that led to the Button that crashed the Plane (that lived in the house that Jack built. But not that Jack). Faraday thought the digging at the Swan would cause that, but it was actually their attempt to stop it that did.
Hmm. Maybe it's a free will/determinism puzzle.

What is even happening?
I don't think the bomb either went off or caused the incident. The drilling caused the Incident which was was already happening when the Lostaways brought the bomb to the site. I think *it* is what flashed the Lostaways from 1977 back to 2007. The bomb was the fail safe mechanism that Des set off in 2004.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Oooh, I like that theory, Cindy! Not sure about your last sentence, though. Wouldn't a nuclear explosion have done more physical damage? Maybe the fail safe was just a recreation of the incident.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Agree that it's what pushed them back into the present. Interesting thought about the bomb not going off and Desmond setting it off in the failsafe.
OK, so if the bomb doesn't go off/expel its energy until Desmond, what's the cause of the failed pregnancies on the island?
(& damn. I was enjoying thinking I was right.)
