Flash-forward clues


Hey guys, just though that I'd post a blog explaining the several flash-forward clues that we were treated to, before the big reveal, of course. And believe me, there were many of them.

*As Nick stated earlier, an anagram for "Hoffs/Drawlar" is "flash-forward".'

*The show referenced the Grand Avenue Project, announced in 2007.

*The phone that Jack was using is a Motorola KRZR, released in the fourth quarter of 2006.

*The headline on the LA Times that Jack picks up is from April 5, 2007.

If there are anymore, please let us know, and we'll add them.

  1. i thought it was clear that naomi is/was dharma and that their arrival was triggered by the enter77 loke entered into the central communication computer before he blew up the flame??

  2. My husband has made a valid point to me that for some reason I overlooked

    "You know what was bothering me about Jack's "flashback" story last night on lost? In the end it turns out it was a glimpse of the future but twice in his story he mentioned his Father…he said that his father prescribed the drugs (wouldn’t the pharmacist know that his dad was dead instead of wanting to call his office?) and also when he was drunk he said get my father down here and if I'm drunker than him you can fire me…"

    I think that has changed everything for me now and makes 8 months of waiting horrible!

  3. Re: Jack's father, the pharmacist wasn't necessarily in the hospital or working for the hospital. Why would they know every dead doctor's name? And I took his talking about asking his father to be a sign of his mental instability. Just my two cents.

  4. One annoying continuity problem: Jack's beard is coming in grey when he's on the island yet his future beard is fully brown.

  6. To anonymous:

    I didn't go back and rewatch it, but Jacks beard in the "flash forward" WAS gray in parts. I noticed it the first time I watched it.

  9. At the end of the episode, when jack calls kate, the camera pans out to see the whole room, and there is a map above him with the pacific coast and giant red triangle on it, which is the same exact triangle ben was drawing in the beginning of the episode

  10. Just got done watching the final a second time and noticed that when the chief surgeon from flash forward that he greeted Jack as Hero "twice over." I assume the one time as current saving women/child from car accident. I wonder if other time was getting off island??? Any thoughts?

  11. Who was the woman & little child in the car accident? The little boy seemed to know Jack. Could it be Juliette's sister & son??

  12. Is there anyone who know what's the date of crash ?

    We know there is approximatively 90 days after the crash, so if the news is april 5 2007 in the flash foward, we can know if they left using the call Jack made in episode 23 or another moment.

  13. Did anyone notice when Ben was drawing a line on his map from his location to the location of the tower that the shap under the tower was of a plane.

  14. Was the plane a symbol for the runway ("for aliens") that Juliet alleged was being built?

  15. The Woman in the alley way that Charlie saved was she the woman that Sayed was supposed to kill? Answer to anon do you realy think it has any thing to do with aliens I actualy think it was an identifiable signal only seen by air?
    I agree with rsl that Jack is loosing the plot a bit and who would be wondering where Kate was, is she finaly with Sawyer? to many unanswered Questions but its great.

  16. I was inspired by some posts to ad this.
    Friend or family was question from funeral parlor guy. The answer was from jack was Either , Not to be mistaken with Neither.
    So does this mean either friend or family...both apply?
    Is it possible that someone in the casket could turn out to be related to jack from somewhere. As , if you watch scene again he seems to give it some thought when replying either. In english either means either one. Unless this is an american phrase which replace neither in your lingo.
    anyone else spot this?
