I don't think Sayid is going to be reunited with Nadia at all. Nadia didn't die in his arms, Shannon did. It will be Shannon that returns.

Are you sure Nadia didn't die in his arms? She got hit by the car and then Sayid ran over there as Jacob walked away.

I'd rather choose to forget about that awful relationship between Shannon and Sayid.

Wouldn't it make for a pretty creepy scene to have all of the dead characters come back and appear in the "final battle" between the light and dark sides?

That would be creepy. I just have a feeling when we do see the "final battle" that Jin & Sun will be in opposite sides.

That's why I'd lolz if Sayid is expecting Nadia and gets Shannon instead. Ugh.

Spoiler

Maggie Grace is scheduled to return to Lost this season. Either that's who is coming back to Sayid or she'll be in the flash-sideways

Maggie Grace's appearance off the Island would be rather ho-hum, no?

Much like Boone, Shannon isn't entirely important to the series. She was in Australia when Flight 815 landed safely in LAX in the flash side-ways. I fear that getting her into a side-ways appearance would be filler.

Also, I don't really see the connection she has to the Island unless it's with Sayid.

After having her character dead for so long, it would seem rather deux-ex-machina to have her return and do something of significance.

Interesting you said that since JJ abrams is helming the Dark Tower series movies

As of last year, they both said they have no interest.

Abrams - slated to direct and produce - said he doesn't have the time to commit to such a long project (estimated at 7 years of someone's life) and Lindelof - slated to write - said he fears taking on another massive project after spending six years on Lost. Lindelof also worries that he wouldn't be a fair writer of a series of books he loves too much. He would prefer someone else took on the task.

Re: *** Lost: Season 6 (Final Season) ***

I hope Jacob was right when he said someone else was coming to the island, and it wasn't just part of the whole ruse to get Hurley to bring Jack to the Lighthouse. If someone is indeed coming, I really hope it's Desmond. They can't just leave him out of this after how involved he's been. If they do leave him out, my only reasoning would be that his story was considedered "complete" by reuniting with Penny.

A Desmond centric episode is on the way near the end of the season so somethings going on either way.

"There's a lot of little questions that unfortunately we just don't have time to answer in the amount of time that we have left," co-creator Cuse told the uber-fans.

What with trying to keep all the intertwining story lines straight, it's probably slipped his mind that the "time we lave left" was determined years ago by Cuse and Lindelof themselves, which would seem to suggest that running out of time was something they had, um, planned.

Back in May of 2007, ABC and the creative team behind the weedy tangle of a series announced the show would end in the spring of 2010. Nearly three years later, at the Paleyfest, Cuse said of any unresolved plot issues: "Ultimately, the way we look at it is that if the characters don't care about that question, then we as storytellers don't care about that question."

Re: *** Lost: Season 6 (Final Season) ***

The thing that I keep thinking about regarding the flash-sideways is that the timing is off. For example, when the plane crashed in 2004, Jack did not have a son (we would have known that by now if he did - he clearly would have mentioned a son). In the flash-sideways, Jack has a son that is a young teen. This makes me think the flash-sideways isn't taking place shortly after the plane didn't crash and landed safely at LAX. But then Jack and his mother were talking about Christian's lost body and looking for Christian's will. So the flash-sideways does appear to be taking place shortly after the plane landed at LAX. So how do we reconcile Jack's son and the timing? Same analysis applies for Sayid and Nadia (Nadia wasn't with Sayid's brother when the plane crashed). It doesn't add up. I think the things that happened in 1977 (Jughead) affected the flash-sideways universe somehow.

My head hurts

I think the Flash Sideways are what their lives would have been like if Jacob never touched them and "guided" them to the Island.

Edit - But I guess that doesn't really make sense because Jacob didn't come to Jack until much later in Jack's life. Far after Jack would have had the kid - so really who the hell knows?!

The enhanced version of that episode said that Jack doesn't have a son in the present reality but has one in the flash-sideways.

Things are different. This is one of those things I wondered how long it would take before people started to really notice. Things did not change because they did not land on the Island. It's semantics, I guess, from the writers, but things changed a long time before that.

Another example is Jack's appendix. He had his removed by Juliet in Season 4(?). Yet, in the flash-sideways, his appendix was removed as a child.

How old do we think Jack is in 2003? I think we can safely assume that he is between 30 and 40 years-of-age. In 1977, he should have been, at the youngest, 4-years-old.

So, using that knowledge, it's safe to assume that things changed the minute they caused the explosion. The Losties didn't just change the outcome of their crash landing, they changed the outcome of their entire lives and the lives of people around them.

Yet, through their actions, LOST is somehow trying to show us that no matter how you change the course of someone's life, they will always make the same life-altering decisions. ie: Kate on the run, Locke paralyzed.

The confusing aspect of it is that Jack is not a hard core drinker. So where do the similarities lie? Why do some people follow certain predisposed paths, while others find a way to break from the mold? And is it only Jack that is moving in an opposite direction?

But he didn't believe his mom when she said that. That scar looked completely new to him when he looked at it in the mirror. He has looked in a mirror TWICE in the flash sideways and both times he seems to have this sense of not remembering how something got on him (the scar on his stomach, the cut on his neck).

Pretty weird about the mirrors considering that is how Jacob was watching them the whole time. I think there was a mirror in front of Kate when she opened Claire's bag and noticed the whale, too.

there were 3 mirrors also, 3 realities?

Is it possible Jack's dad changed which changed Jack's Drinking.

Also the big thing with Jack was saving the lady who was paralyzed and marrying her, then divorcing her. This life altering event may have never happened.

Re: *** Lost: Season 6 (Final Season) ***

So the alternate timeline began a long time ago, not when the plane didn't crash. I think most folks, including myself, was assuming the alternate realities split off when the plane failed to crash. Thanks for the heads up.
