Timeline explanation on Island
This is how I see all of the timelines on the island and off the island.
I diagramed a picture of all the timelines and how I believe they interact. Both WHH and TCC are preserved is this diagram…I believe this is critical.

Can you explain this a little more. I'm just not getting it
sorry.
I think I get what you wrote at the bottom. But where is the parallel time line? Is it the loop? I'm just not understanding it and I feel like I should.
So do you think that Jacob's death and not the incident/bomb is what brought them to the present? And it is Jacob's death that cancels the time loop?
And what do the two arrows mean? Is the off island arrow the parallel time line and the shorter on island arrow the original time line?Posted 03-08-2010 at 07:09 AM by Gettingafixonlost

Ok, its complicated. The turning of the wheel is what creates the time loops and its the second turning of the wheel that stops them. There are "n" time loops and parallel time lines within the wheel turn periods. Each of the periods the losties were flashing was an individual time iteration....that's what allowed Smokie to put the Compass in place and save John Locke. Its also what allowed him to get into John Lockes body. The final time iteration exits them out to finish the current time loop as well as creates the scenario for the parallel time line of what we are seeing now where they never crashed on the island.

I don't know...its either one or both. Wait...maybe I'm not understanding you...its the turning of the wheel the second time that ends the time loops...

Yes...those are the timelines we are watching now, side-by-side.Posted 03-09-2010 at 01:09 PM by 3d-aholic
