Mirror on the wall...

Ok, so I think that I agree with Walead in that the parallel reality is what is going to happen, if and when the characters do something on the island.

I think that latest episode is really playing with the multi-verse theory... And suspect that if the characters on the island can find resolutions to their issues, their consciousness might be catapulted to the other reality. It's like all those theories that say that time isn't linear, that any possibility that could happen, may one day happen, or is happening all exist in one moment, and that what we focus on becomes our linear experience because our minds need to process things linearly.

So the characters are living one linear experience, BUT SOMEHOW are also tapped into a different universe or linear experience. Parallel Jack was once island jack and this is why he keeps seeing scars that seem unfamiliar. All he needs to do to become Parallel Jack is get over his daddy issues. Once he decides to get over it, he will be catapulted to a reality where his issues are resolved and his life if better. (HA! Talk of the the law of attraction. The lost writers ♥ the secret) Maybe it was Jacobs touch that allows his mind to straddle 2 universes at the same time. Which why the keep showing us mirrors, in the airplane bathroom, in Jack's apt and finally in the lighthouse... Hmm...

Jack has a son!!! I think he needed a son, in order to really get over his daddy issues, to truly understand that although his father inflicted damage on him, he came from a place of good intention. I think Jack doesn't really believe that his father loved him. Just think that when Jack finds out that his wife if cheating on him, his first suspect is his father. I don't think Jack put down his son, the way Christian Shepard did him (You don't have what it takes) but his convo with his son did illustrate something important for him about the father/son relationship. Jack was really into his son's music, and because of it his son hid it, because he didn't want to disappoint. Jack always felt like a disappointment to his father, and Christian's "you don't have what it takes", was less of a put down and more of him saying "don't try that, because I don't want you to get hurt". For the first time Jack got how a father could make his son feel like a disappointment (unintentionally) , but still have the up most love and respect for him. It's really another mirror image...
I think he never expressed anything about the son because island Jack doesn't have a son, only parallel Jack does... I wonder who the BM is! I think they purposely didn't show her, so it won't be as simple as the ex-wife. Things are really different in the parallel world, I mean Locke has a relationship with his Anthony Cooper, since Helen, mentioned inviting him to the wedding. I don't care how forgiving you are, someone throws you out a 20 story window, they don't get a wedding invite. Ain't enough I'm sorry in the world! Locke got paralyzed some other way.

They brought back the Adam and eve skeletons? I forgot about those... What are they about?
