I think Jack was definitely out of his mind at that time - which means there are endless possibilities as to what happened in those flashforwards. I still think they ARE flashforwards, but I'm wondering about the references to his father. Maybe he didn't actually die before? Or Jack was out of his mind again...
I hope the next few seasons do have more flashforwards. Although it'd be lame if everyone was still unhappy. I mean, seriously. They were already more unhappy before getting on that plane with some hope left.

It's not 100% certain that Jack's father is actually dead . . .

that time travel theorie site makes alot of sense... didnt tounch on everything tho... who is jacob and how and why are the others there. the darma people make sense there running and testing time travel but what are the others doing there? are they time travel pirates?
also dont know if anyone watched the show before the final show the one with the writers but at the end they said it wasnt purgatory but it had to do with time space continuum...

ALSO the others dont age.. if you rember when ben was akid and met the other in the woods then you flashed foward to ben as the leader the same guy didnt age so that would support the time travel as well

I don't think they are getting rescued at all.....
or at least not that easily.
What about Penelope and her father and all that?

(May 25 07, 09:41)I was wondering about that too, but I thought it was because they never made Richard look old (which I thought was just a technicality in the makeup department). Or they were trying to suggest that Ben was actually in his teens (even though he looked about 10), which would make Richard in his 20s (maybe) at the time Ben saw him. But Ben looks older than Richard now, it's weird. I can't figure out if that's deliberate or not. With these writers, it's probably on purpose.
I don't know. It's hard to say, but the time theory is a good one.

Amazingly well executed - I have only one beef that hasnt been touched on (and is pretty much just my venting) is ABC's *intensely* obnoxious content:commercial ratio which has gone as far out of control as I think it can (the next step being more commercial than content).
Even with a buffered DVR its really horrid - at some points in the finale they were inserted commercial blocks after only 90 seconds of content.
I know its a fairly useless rant but I really wish the US cable networks could adopt a less intrusive attitude towards advertising
i.e stop boosting the signal gain during commercials and consider large blocks of commercials between programs with one block in the middle of each program as is done in scandinavia.
I lay my hopes at the feet of the impending competition of online content delivery ...

There's a new regulation in Canada now that increases the commercial time each year until like 2010 or something.
It's weird.
Anyway, although I watch episodes the day after (because I watch everything by torrent), there aren't any commercial to worry about.

As I have mentioned before, the only part of the show that I believe actually happened in real life is Hurley winning the lottery:
I believe that the show is entirely based in his imagination - a result of 3 wild sex and drug filled days and nights with four of the best, most exotic and incredible women that money could buy on the face of the earth. They did ecstacy. They did LSD. They did whatever they could get their hands on as Hurley showered them with thousand dollar bills.
Following the inevitable crash after their multi-day festivities, Hurley falls into a deep deep sleep, and this is when he dreams the entire series of events we have seen on the show.
After nearly 37 hours of sleep, Hurley awakens in the morning surrounded by his concubines, their sweaty bodies still exhausted from their activities. Empty buckets of fried chicken litter the room. It is obvious that at least two women had chicken repeatedly pressed into their breasts and devoured by Hurley - no hands, only his mouth was used to feed himself and pleasure the women at the same time.
The camera closes in on his eyes as they open, then pulls back to show Hurley looking left and right at the women. Some of their stir awake and Hurley simply says:
"Wow dude. I just had the craziest dream."
The end.

Even if they had that idea in the beginning (which I doubt they did), they would be changing it as we speak since they know that fans would hunt them down and murder them.

The flashes past/future origin issue:
Jack's been flying with the golden pass they gave'em.
Jack's beard is black though, while on the Island his facial hair is more grey like.
But this is a tiny detail, you could just as well be asking who shaved Kate's armpits while she was in the cage :)

Dunno if its been said but, jack looks up when he asks the doctor to call his dad down, as though he's implying heaven or something of the sort. Also, the hatch wouldn't have flooded to the top either way, it would have only filled to the top of the window in which the water was flowing in. For the exact same reason that it didn't flood from the pool of water in the sub room. The air pressure kept it from flooding.

so...what happened in the end?
Can anyone put it in a nut shell?
