I love reading the theories between the Happened Happened'ers and the Multipal Time Liners since both sides have VERY VALID arguments. Personally I am leaning towards possibly Parallel timelines. Everyone is duplicated but in the wrong worlds. This makes me believe that no one planted the plane at the bottom of the trench. Our Losties are dead in that world. (we all remember the two rabbits). I believe some know about these parallel worlds and are gatekeepers to protect crossovers to the flip side of the records being played if you will. Mrs. Hawking said two interesting things. One was God Help us all if they do not succeed. She also said that if all of the O-6 were not on the plane the results would be unpredictable. I believe we are seeing the flip side of the record which of course is not skipping anymore (in our storyline). Each set of losties have settled in the parallel worlds to run the end gam! es on other peoples records & perhaps some are still skipping. If something goes seriously wrong then both sides of the record may start to play together in all worlds on all of the record players. Which would sound like mayhem to me. God help us all if this happens. This is my first theory and I expect to be blasted. Theory by I.M.godhere
