Maybe he is!
I think if you were an "outsider" to the Island, and still on the island after Ben moved it, then you jumped through time. Maybe it has something to do with the fountain? only people who had bathed/drank from it have a true "link" to the island (the Others) everyone else got skipped through time?
Charolotte's body got "left behind" after a time jump, I assume since she was dead.
I would think Claire also jumped through time, but maybe she didn't know what was happening (like Jin when he was out in the ocean). If she was in the jungle away from everyone and everything, then she might not even know the "flashes" were time jumps. They didn't last for all that long, only a few days, so if she was hiding somewhere she might never have known what was happening.
On the other hand, if she was dead, maybe she didn't move through time (like Charolette's body) and she just stayed in the present.

It's kind of not that noticeable unless you're looking for it. He sounds vaguely British, and has an odd twinge, particularly with hard sounds like T and D. Some people noticed it as soon as he said "What Happened?" after coming back to life.
I watched the Lighthouse scene again and was surprised at how different it actually is. Still don't know if its deliberate or just Naveen Andrews' acting choice though.
Agreed, especially since Jacob seems to almost get some kind of perverse pleasure out of confusing our Losties.
No, Claire didn't timeshift. She's was on the island from 2004 to 2007, setting traps and learning to survive on her own, with a little help from Mr. Smokey. We also know the Others didn't timeshift, because Locke was with them when he disappeared and they didn't go with him. When unLocke finds Richard in 2007, Richard asks him where he's been, saying, "You just disappeared."
I have a feeling this won't be explained. Cuse and Lindelof have already said there was a reason Sun didn't go in the past with Jack, Hurley, Kate, and Sayid, but they will never explain it. They've said viewers may figure it out from the show, but they aren't going to explain it themselves.
Wow, I hadn't heard that. How annoying. That was one of the things from last season that made even less sense than all the other stuff that didn't/doesn't make much sense. Hopefully the candidate stuff will clear it up.
Where did you read/hear this?
If you take out both Charlie episodes, the Boone episode, and the Walt/Michael episode I believe we have the correct number for the season (maybe one less). It would take quite a bit of skill to work that out, though. If it holds, though, the flash sideways would be:
Everyone
Kate
Locke
Jack
Jin/Sun (the episode is called Sundown, fwiw)
Sawyer
Sayid
Claire
Jack
Kate
Sawyer
Jin
Hurley
Locke
Sayid
Kate
Everyone
Having Sayid and Claire back to back could be interesting depending on how things play out. I find it hard to believe that the second to last episode could be a Kate episode. They may or may not try to stick a Desmond or Ben episode in there, I would think.
I don't know. I just don't see his flash sideways being as relevant. I'm sure he'll play an important role, but I just don't see him having the episode focus on him.
There's an episode called "Dr. Linus" in the near future.
Hopefully a Richard episode as well, him on the deck of the black rock. Give us something!

Maybe someone can do the math here, but does anyone know roughly what age Jack would be in 2004 when the plane crashed?
In the Alternate Flash-Sideways Whatever Timeline... it would be interesting to extrapolate from there the year that "kid Jack" had his mysterious appendix surgery that adult Jack doesn't remember. His mom said it was when he was 8 years old, I think?
What i'm getting at is... what if he was 8 years old when Jughead exploded in the middle of the ocean? I'm not sure what that would mean, but it could be a connection as to what all this strangeness in the Flash-Sideways timeline is all about.

^We don't have a birthdate for Jack, so I tend to apply the standard same age as the actor rule - which would have made Jack roughly 38 in 2004.
In the main timeline, Jack did not have his appendix removed until it burst and Juliet was forced to remove it on the Island.
So far, Jack appears to be the only one affected by this "merging" of the timelines.

Bastards. Seriously, that's BS. But I figure it won't be the only thing not explained.
