Spoilers from Season 5 ahead… I warned you!
Something’s been bothering me, and I wonder if it has been bothering anyone else.
Say that the blast Juliet set off did reset everything, and flight 815 didn’t crash on the island. Kate, Jack, Hurley, Sawyer…. They all did whatever they were going to do if it hadn’t crashed.
What happened to all the other people? Not people like Rose and Bernard. I mean, all the dead people!
In thinking about this, I’m pretty sure that what will end up happening is that there WILL be a crash. Just not on the island. A lot of people will die, but the “815-ers” will survive and be rescued.
Any thoughts about this?
Well, from OUTSIDE the show, they’ve confirmed that Oceanic has never crashed. I’m referring to that commercial from the ComicCon panel (found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfoqYmGS6Xw ).
That commercial is “current day” (reference the statements to 30 years of perfect service record since they started in 1979). This would imply that they have never crashed. I doubt that they all would have been on a separate airline that crashed, so I don’t think that this will be accurate, unless the crash takes place on or after late 2009.
