Island time line

[navyguy]

Ben said 80 days the survivors have been on the island in s4e1. Oceanic announced its re-opening on December 28th 2007. That still leaves 3 years and some change between the islands date and the "real world's" date. Whether this slowing down of time was done by Dharma or is actually an island property is unknown.

why did oceanic close down? was it as a result of the crash or something else?

ORRRRR,,,,,It could be that this is a TV show!! and they don't film 24/7, and there is no way, they'd be filming for 3 years straight. Just saying, there has to be some line drawn between the REAL world and LOST world, they do a good job making it real, but as far as the timeline match up goes, its almost impossible.

Here's an idea.
Perhaps the reason we keep seeing a 2004 date on the island is because the island isn't the prsent time line but the past being told to us.

The Flash Fwds. These are hard to explain and Im not completly sure how to explain them But here are some options.

A.) We know for a fact they are atleast two yrs after the island and possably five yrs.

B.)could be the present and the future mixed. Here's how. In Jack's flash Fwd we see him using a phone that wasn't made untill 2006 there's the minmum yr range and possible present time line. Then another case we see a lugage tag that dates 2009 there's the possable maxmum yr range and distant future time range.

So Jack's Flash Fwd was either 2 or 5 yrs after the island time or it's a combnation of the present and future in one Flash Fwd.

I think Hurley's Flash Fwd was perhaps 1 yr after the island rescue. Because it was way before Jack grew out his beard and Jack was still working happely at the hospital. Where in his Flash back it seems he has had a mental breack down for quite some time now and is highly disgruntle and depressed and on narcos and alchol.

that almost makes sense Arch, but how can two times be mixed? so Vonnegut like

That would explain how Goodwin could still look so young and yet have a WW2 knife.

Well here is the thing. Ill explain it a little better. It is November of '04 on the island. If you look at the Oceanic Press release they re-open on December 28th 2007. If you play find815 (which has everything to do with the show) you find out that Oceanic closed down due to the 815 dissapearance. They announced their re-opening but Sam Thomas wouldn't have it. He wanted to find 815. Oceanic's re-opening and Sam's discovery of the wreckage in the Indian Ocean. So it is assumed by Sam's storyline that everybody is still missing December of '07

Dude its the dude ^^^^^^^^^^ LOL. Relax man, its just a show, we just come on this site to try to better understand it, u don't have to explode ur feelings all over the place like the hatch LOL. I'm sure the find815 thing is just there to keep the "mysteries" coming and keep viewers interested, but hell I know its working because we're all following this stuff, it makes it way more interesting. Don't hold grudges just because people are having a funner time talking about the show that U are LOL. Anyway if U are so concerned that its just a show, why are u on the forum and not watching the TV LOL. Just kidding RELAX DUDE!
