THE INCIDENT

I watched the enhanced version last night and afterward came to one major conclusion.

The white out at the end of the Incident was not the bomb going off. Juliet was hitting the device with less impact force than the fall down the shaft. The sequence made the viewer think that is what happened.

I believe the white flash at the end of the episode represents Eloise (possibly through Richard) turning the Frozen Donkey Wheel.

It was when Richard said that he was protecting his leader, Eloise, when he knocked her out to protect her and her baby that I thought the only way for Richard to protect her was to get her off the island by turning the FDW. This would explain how Eloise got off the island. It would also explain why it took her a long time to find the island because it moved when she left it.

And with the bomb not exploding makes case that WHH. The bomb was sealed in the concrete tomb that Sayid said reminded him of Chernobyl when Jack and Sayid were investigating the Swan Station. Dharma buried the bomb in concrete, and made the Hatch station next to it with the word Quarantine on the door. The bomb not exploding gets the elements back into place before the 815 crash.

Turning the FDW at the end of the episode probably moved the island like a pendulum back toward a flash forward reset. My guess, based on the ABC promo of the timer clock resetting to 109.11 to September 11, 2004. This date is significant because it is around the time the major characters had to make choices on whether to go to Australia and/or get on Flight 815 13 days later.

The enhanced version also made reference to heavy Egyptian mythology concepts, or variations on those elements. It also made constant references to Jacob's touches to 815 survivors, as we have discussed for months on the fan boards. If there is going to be a mid-September 2004 reset, Flight 815 will not land at LAX but it will crash again on the Island.
