Webisode

[Roshi]

Wasn't there a webisode where Dr Marvin Candle (or whatever his name may be!) was holding a white rabbit which happened to be the replica of another rabbit?
Didn't he say that the two rabbits were not to touch each other? How does that play out?

It's here: http://www.lostpedia.com/wiki/The_Orchid it was released at a convention and was on the S3 DVD set.

^Ok. So it's possible to have doubles in Lost.

Speaking of webisodes, when Sun told Michael that she was pregnant, I think it directly referenced the webisode they were in.

And it's apparently physical time travel, not the Quantum Leap jumping-into-your-own-body time travel we've already seen. Which is apparently the kind of time travel Ben used to get to the Sahara - or at least he had a reason to believe he might have travelled in time, even if he didn't.

Interesting that there was such a panic about not letting them get close to each other. Matter and anti-matter?

The writers are probably going to avoid doing anything funny with this like have characters meet each other. For us to realize there are theoretically 12 Jacks running around would destroy the dramatic tension of worrying whether Jack is going to die at any given time.

But they might do small, teasing things like have the doctor's body wash up on the island again.
