So...I keep finding myself wondering about two things over and over again...
First off, the 'Flash Sideways' was a sort of 'purgatory'. All of its (spiritual) inhabitants either died on the island, spent substantial time on the island, or were directly connected to somebody in one of those catagories. It is clear from Jacks dads comment (and a few other hints here and there in retrospect) that the dead lostaways and other dead folks of the island (with a few others) effectively created the Flash Sideways realm.
Exactly. If you watched Jimmy Kimmel afterward, he brought up an interesting clip, something I'd been thinking about for a while as the season progressed.
It was the clip from the first episode of the season in the first "flash-sideways" scene, where they hit the turbulence and then nothing happens, and Rose says "you can let go now".
It really makes me wonder if they were giving hints way back then, on the theme of "letting go", and using this "flash sideways" to do so for the characters.
Kimmel also made the comment that he thought that the turbulence there was Jack dying in the real world, and entering this timeless "side reality" where he went through everything that led to him in the church, letting go.
Actually makes a bit of sense when you think about it.
