6x12 "Everybody Loves Hugo" Alternate 2004

1. Hurley's spent so much money, his name is synonymous with Donald Trump.

2. Hurley's mother is exactly the same with Hurley and women in this reality.

3. Hurley actually mistook Libby for Rosalita in the restaurant.

4. She's at the same mental hospital that she and Hurley were at in the original reality.

5. Desmond's trying to get Hurley and Libby together. It would seem that Desmond's goal is to unite the 815 passengers. I guess that would make him this reality's Jacob.

6. All it took for Libby to remember Hurley in her other life was to see him on TV. She must have had the same feelings for him that Daniel had for Charlotte. However, seeing Libby didn't trigger Hurley's memories of the Island. Different people have different triggers, it would seem.

7. So Hurley in spite of Libby's outrageous story (outrageous to Hurley anyway), he takes her out on a date. Great move! Date the crazy girl who digs you.

8. But all joking aside, Hurley did make sure to bring a blanket for the beach picnic this time.

9. Is it possible that the original reality's Libby is experiencing flashes of the alternate reality? Is that why she was watching Hurley at the end of "Dave?"

10. The kiss on the beach triggered Hurley's memories of his other life.

11. And Desmond is watching with interest. What does he plan to do after he unites everybody?

12. Haha, Ben suspected Desmond of being a pedophile.

13. The next stage in Desmond's plan, run over John Locke. Locke is left with the same facial injuries as when he fell from Anthony Cooper's hotel room. Desmond must be hoping that Locke will be brought to Jack's hospital.

6x12 "Everybody Loves Hugo" Island

1. So in all the time Hurley's talked to the dead, Libby's never come to visit him.

2. Hurley's latest visit is from Michael. Given that we hear the famous whispers before his appearance, I'd say the whispers are from people who died on the Island.

3. Ilana just died in the same fashion as Arzt. Why isn't there any on Hurley's shoulder?

4. So Desmond seems to have no idea that Locke is not actually Locke. Is he confused from his trip to the alternate reality.

5. Ben has a spiteful way of thinking about the Island in light of Ilana's death. He once thought the Island was done with him too.

6. Does Miles really not realize that Hurley actually sees ghosts?

7. This is the second time Locke has saw a child who shouldn't be there. Are those boys actually a young Jacob and Smoke Monster?

8. Why does Hurley believe he needs to talk to Locke? What could he say that could impact the situation?

9. Well Jack's finally learning to let go and let people fix themselves. If only he could have done that sooner, he'd be a lot happier.

10. "If you ever do see Libby again, tell her I'm sorry." - Michael. But Ana Lucia seemed to be able to talk to Libby from beyond the grave. Does that mean that the ghosts of people off the Island are those of people who moved on, and those Hurley sees on the Island are only people who haven't?

11. The well that Locke takes Desmond to is similar to the on that would later become the Orchid. Was there one at the site of the Swan?

12. The wells were dug to investigate the electromagnetism on the Island. Who else had done that before the DHARMA Initiative. Could the people Jacob brought to the Island have done it?

13. So Desmond is thrown down the well, in a sense, right back where he started when we first met him on the Island.

14. Just because Locke gave Hurley his word that he wouldn't attack the people in Hurley's camp, does that mean he would keep it? He's not Jacob after all.

6x11 - "Happily Ever After" Alternate 2004

1. The large amount of electromagnetism transferred Desmond's consciousness into the alternate reality.

2. Hurley noticed Desmond on the 815. That means that he wasn't popping in and out of this reality. There is in fact an alternate Desmond Hume.

3. George Minkowski is Desmond's driver. That's meant to be an homage to the revival of the Prisoner.

4. In this reality, Desmond is heavily invested in his work, to the point where it has earned him a place as Charles Widmore's "right hand man."

5. So Charlie was on the plane to perform with Daniel Widmore (NOT Faraday) at an event run by Eloise Widmore.

6. Widmore shares his valuable whiskey with Desmond. This is the same whiskey that he wouldn't even let Desmond touch in "Flashes Before Your Eyes."

7. This reality's Charlie remembered the original reality on a more conscious level (primarily Claire) as a result of his near death experience on the plane. It's a shame that he didn't see her on the plane.

8. In Charlie's second suicide attempt, he presses his hand up against the car window in the same fashion as he did in "Through the Looking Glass." This action trigger's Desmond's memory of his other life, as he recalls Charlie having written "Not Penny's Boat" on his hand at the end of that episode.

9. The MRI also triggers memories of Desmond's relationship with Penelope Widmore in his other life.

10. Why is Charlie running out of the hospital? What does he believe he's looking for?

11. Eloise Widmore is very ambiguous. On the one hand she seems to have the same universal knowledge that she had in the original reality. It seems like she knew that Driveshaft wasn't going to perform to begin with (even though she flipped out at a caterer for not knowing how to set a table), and then she blocks Desmond from looking at a list almost as though she's trying to block him from finding Penelope Widmore.

12. Daniel Widmore awakened his memories of his other life with his random encounter with Charlotte. It caused him to remember his love for her on a more conscious level. That event also triggered his knowledge of quantum mechanics as well. I wonder if Daniel could remember his death on the Island.

13. Penny seems to have a habit of running in the same stadium where Desmond and Jack first met.

14. Touching Penny's hand seems to have brought Desmond's memory of the Island entirely to the surface. Now he believes that he must unite the passengers of Oceanic 815.

6x11 - "Happily Ever After" Island

1. How did Charles Widmore get anywhere near Desmond in the hospital? I wonder if Penny is looking for him off the Island.

2. I hate to call the writers out, but the "generator room" they put Desmond in, is inspired by Dr. Manhattan's origin story (Watchmen).

3. Why did the DHARMA Initative have a high powered Electro-Magnet on Hydra Island?

4. Touching Penny in the alternate reality brought Desmond back to this world.

5. What does Desmond think he has to do?

6x10 - "The Package" Alternate 2004

1. In this reality, Jin and Sun aren't married. Jin, however, still works for Mr. Paik.

2. They are still in a relationship, and very much in love.

3. Sun seems to have no idea that her father is a shady businessman with dealings all over the world.

4. Sun still wants to run away to America, and she wants to take Jin with her.

5. So Keamy came to get Sun and Jin at their hotel. I guess that's what happens when you stand up a gangster.

6. Did Mr. Paik close Sun's bank account because of her relationship with Jin? I guess she's on the outs with him.

7. Oh wow. Jin was coned into paying Keamy to kill him. Mr. Paik is a cruel bastard.

8. Following the bloodbath from "Sundown" all Sayid leaves Jin with is a box-cutter to free himself.

9. Jin shot Mikhail in his bad eye.

10. Sun is pregnant, and she got shot? Wasn't she drinking champaign earlier?

6x10 - "The Package" Island

In UnLocke's camp

1. So UnLocke needs all of the surviving candidates at the time of Jacob's death to leave the Island with him in order to leave.

2. Sayid claims to not feel anything. Is that the result of being infected?

3. Widmore's people capturing Jin is like watching the Others capture 815 survivors in "The Other 48 Days."

4. So Locke plans to allow Claire to kill Kate if she so chooses.

Ilana's camp.

1. Ah Sun's garden. It takes me back to season two.

2. UnLocke is determined to unite both Jin and Sun. Although according to a recent podcast, the cave with the names may have been meant to be a dummy list for UnLocke. That could very well mean that both Jin and Sun are candidates to replace Jacob.

3. In her flight from UnLocke, Sun hit her head and trauma caused her to lose the ability to speak English, although she can still understand it.

4. So Alpert has confirmed that the plane is the only way off the Island for UnLocke.

Hydra Island

1. Jin wakes up in Room 23. The same room that Karl was trapped inside back in "Not In Portland."

2. So Jin helped the DHARMA Initiative map out the Island for electromagnetism pockets. I assume the spot where the Swan Hatch was to be built is where it is the strongest.

3. UnLocke and Sayid both left for Hydra Island but only UnLocke can be seen. Where is Sayid?

4. So UnLocke is really there to get Jin back. He must be a candidate.

5. Sun brought a camera containing pictures of Ji Yeon. Jin's seen her for the very first time.

6. And the final twist, Widmore's package is Desmond David Hume.
