6x01 and 6x02 "LA X" Alternate 2004

As this episode seems to suggest that there are two realities/timelines running side by side, I'm referring to all off Island scenes in this episode as taking place in an alternate 2004, whereas the on Island scenes take place in 2008.

On Flight 815

1. Right off the bat things are not the same as in the pilot. Cindy only gives Jack one extra bottle of liquor, and Jack spilled his drink.

2. Another difference, Rose is calm and Jack is nervous during the turbulence.

3. How did Jack get the cut on his neck, and does he remember anything that occured in the original timeline?

4. Another MAJOR difference, Desmond is on the plane. It seems like he finished that race around the world. Why don't either of them seem to realize they've met before?

5. How did the Island get submerged underwater? Is that one result of the bomb blast?

6. Kate stole Jack's pen after leaving the bathroom.

7. Another difference from the original timeline, Hurley isn't burdened as a result of having won the lottery. "I'm the luckiest guy alive," is not something our Hurley would say. Why was this Hurley in Australia?

8. One thing that is not different: Sun and Jin's marriage is still strained.

9. Another difference: Shannon is NOT on the plane. According to Boone, Shannon didn't even want to leave Australia.

10. Was Charlie trying to kill himself in the bathroom? That's another difference right there considering that Charlie had a tour to look forward to in LA.

11. Where did Desmond disappear to?

12. One thing I was hoping would be different is Locke's paralysis. With his detailed story about the walkabout, I was hoping to see him walk off of the plane under his own power.

At the airport

1. Kate makes yet another daring escape from the the Marshall. The whole thing is kinda unrealistic. Wouldn't Mars have arranged for a team of people to be waiting at LAX for their arrival?

2. Did Sawyer see Kate's handcuffs in the elevator?

3. Okay, how the hell does an airline lose track of a coffin? It's a giant coffin! On a more serious note, did Christian Shepherd get reanimated off the Island and leave the coffin in Sydney?

4. Why is Sun being referred to by her maiden name, of Paik, instead of Kwon? Are she and Jin not married.

5. Does Sun even speak english in this alternate timeline?

6. Of all the cabs for Kate to get into, she gets into one with Claire.

7. Locke's assessment of Jack's situation is fairly accurate. The airline lost Christian Shepherd's body, but they didn't actually lose Christian Shepherd.

8. Locke's knives got lost too? How come nobody else lost baggage.

9. Seems that Jack and Locke will be meeting again.
