“See you in another life, yeah?”- Desmond to Jack (“Man of Science, Man of Faith”)

— shoegirl927

Maybe we’ve never seen what happened the first time…during the flashbacks(which I think some are people going back to that moment in their lives like Desmond did). And Maybe we have never seen what happened on the island the first time around. Is it possible that flashbacks are actually the “conscious” traveling back to that time? I know the argument would be “ Well why didn’t they change things?” Maybe they did IN FACT change something. Maybe what we see IS that person trying to change things for the better. Is it possible that we never saw what originally happened to not know that what we are seeing is different than before. When Desmond sees Jack at the stadium during a flashback it seems to me that Desmond knows him , knows about his life and knows they will meet on the island. Maybe the first time Desmond saw Jack he didn’t speak to him at all for all we know. Desmond even says to Jack “See you in another life, yeah?” How Desmond traveled in the episode “The Constant” made me believe that maybe everyone has the ability to go back in time but because Desmond was so close to the explosion it affected him more. The rest of them could have the ability by simply being on the island.

This could also be said of “on-island” time also. All we ever hear John Locke saying to Jack is something along the lines of “You’re not supposed to do this” or when Jack said he dosen’t believe in fate Locke says something like “You don’t now but you will”. All this would at least lead me to believe that Locke is in a loop somehow. Basically I am saying that just because WE are seeing things for the first time dosen’t mean that the way we are seeing it now is the way it has always been. Jack could have done a million things differently his first time there. He could have died within his first few days on the island(like the producers said) or DID he die his first time there? That means that Kate would have probably been the leader. Maybe she brought Jack back at some point who knows? Any theory along this line is very cool to me even if I don’t understand it completely.
