Time

[Monkey-Hands]

I know this has been discussed before a lot but I was wondering what time it is now that the island has moved. I know many people said, including myself, that it has to be around the DI time in the 70's. But after I've seen the new sneak peeks I don't think so anymore.

Cause the thing that got me thinking about it was Yemi's plane that Locke saw crashing. But that can't be in the 70's. Eko would have been a little boy at that time, also Yemi.
But since things keep appearing and disappearing now on the island it could be a "mix" of different times.
Like one minute we're in 1998 f.e. and the next we're in the 70's.

Just a thought.

Desmond looks for a woman who might be the key to helping Faraday stop the island’s unpredictable movements through time; Locke finds out who has been attacking the survivors

This is from XmasDVD from awhile ago, it's a quick write up from the episode 3 Jughead.

From the sounds of that the island might be hopping around to multiple times (ie. The Black Rock, Rousseau arriving). Faraday's conscience may be bouncing back and forth like Desmond's. If that where true he'd have to seek out Desmond, because Desmond is his constant. Then maybe when they stop the "island's unpredictable movements" it will settle down into the 70's.

That's how I see it at least

..according to some of the sneak peek information I had been hearing, the island is 'time hopping' so it's possible to be in severla differnt times

There are some who believe that the Islands are now "unstuck" in time, that they are moving between times, sort of like Desmond did. Others, related to this "unstuck" idea, believe that the Islands are unstuck but are now swinging back and forth between times as like a pendulum, and that as "time passes" the pendulum swings get shorter and shorter until Island-time is once again stabilized (actually, that interpretation is my somewhat tinkering with the "pendulum" theory).

The problem I have with these "unstuck" theories is that I don't see how the returning of the O-6 is going to be able to help with that. Plus, it would seem to make returning that much more problematic.

Of course, I also have serious problems with the "moved to another time" theories, because I think that it creates a paradox in that... weren't the Islands already there at this other time that they have been moved to? Wouldn't that then create "two" sets of Islands at that time?

I think we are going to see a bunch of different times. I'm thinking almost "Christmas Carol-ish." Where the survivors go back to significant events/themes in the past... the plane crash of Eko's brother, the gassing of the Dharma, the Black Rock, even the "ancient" civilization.

Maybe they will even see 815 crash... all from slightly different angles?:o
