Jack's Flashbacks

[sledgeweb]

1x5:

• The hotel manager tells Jack that Christian's room hadn't been used the past THREE DAYS.
• Jacks tells his mother that his father hasn't spoken with him in TWO MONTHS.

1x20:

• Sarah says her car accident was a LITTLE OVER TWO YEARS before her marriage to Jack.

1x23:

• Sawyer tells Jack he met his father in a bar about a WEEK before they got on the plane.

2x3:

• Desmond says he was on his solo race around the world THREE YEARS AGO when he crashed on the island. Since Desmond met Jack at the time of Sarah's accident, this means the accident was at least THREE YEARS BEFORE THE PLANE CRASH. Desmond was training for the solo race when he met Jack, if we assume he was at MOST training a year in advance, that would placed the crash 3-4 years BPC, and place Jack and Sarah's wedding 1-2 years BPC.

2x21:

• Christian asks Ana to come with him for protection after four days in Sydney.
• Waiting for transcript for more details

Putting it all together:

• 3-4 Years BPC: Sarah is involved in a car accident with Adam Rutherford and operated on by Jack
• 1-2 Years BPC: Sarah and Jack marry
• 2 Months -2 Years BPC: Jack operates on Angelo
• 2 Months -2 Years BPC: Sarah leaves Jack
• 2 Months BPC: Christian operates while intoxicated and loses his medical license when Jack reports him
• ~12 Days BPC: Christian and Ana arrive in Sydney
• ~8 Days BPC: Christian and Ana visit house in the suburbs where Christian demands to see his daughter
• ~1 Week BPC: Christian and Sawyer drink at a bar
• ~4 Days BPC: Chrisitian last uses the hotel room

Just something I noticed in regards to the Adam/Sarah crash being 3-4 yrs pre-Lost....maybe this clarifies the time?

As you noted in the site's page on Shannon, she was born in '83. Since I believe it's been said that the crash was in 2004, she was 21 at the time of the crash (assuming her birthday fell at some point prior to September). Her flashback to her dad's funeral showed her saying to Boone "I'm 18"--this would've made Adam and Sarah's crash about three years pre-crash.

Does that make sense?

[sledgeweb]

The problem is, we don't know how far into each year she is. So, there are three extreme cases:

1) In the flashback, Shannon JUST turned 18, and on the island, she is ALMOST 22. This would make it about 4 years between events.

2) In the flashback, Shannon JUST turned 18, and on the island, she has JUST turned 21. This would make it about 3 years between events.

3) In the flashback, Shannon is ALMOST 19, and on the island, she has JUST TURNED 21. This would make it about 2 years between events.

This is always the problem when trying to use someone's age to figure out a timeline.

~8 Days BPC: Christian and Ana visit house in the suburbs where Christian demands to see his father

Don't you mean his Daughter?

[sledgeweb]

In a future flashback, we are given an interesting character connection and learn that Jack's daughter IS his father.

2x3:

• Desmond says he was on his solo race around the world THREE YEARS AGO when he crashed on the island. Since Desmond met Jack at the time of Sarah's accident, this means the accident was at least THREE YEARS BEFORE THE PLANE CRASH. Desmond was training for the solo race when he met Jack, if we assume he was at MOST training a year in advance, that would placed the crash 3-4 years BPC, and place Jack and Sarah's wedding 1-2 years BPC.

Just curious: recently there was a point made that time may be distorted on the island. Therefore, if Des said he was on a solo race three years ago while on the island, it might not actually be three years.

Time line distortion on the island would not affect Des's time lien for the race,how long he was gone.
the three years on island yes could change that part.

So basically we have to throw out that part of the timeline! Argh.

My guess is that the actual timeline in itself is not that important because the producers aren't even keeping up with it.

That's right. I personally love the timeline because I can see exactly (or close to it) when things happen.

 still say it was 63 days have to find that exact quote for sledge

Can the events of 3x1 be placed in here anywhere? 
Christian obviously still working at hospital, trying to get clean, during events with Jack/Sarah.  So before losing his license.

Was there a date on the crossword by any chance??

[Foxyschic]

Somewhere between 1 year and 2 months BPC?
Sarah has obviously left Jack, they are talking about divorce specifics.
And Christian is still talking to Jack.

I would put it much longer than that.As he was not talking to his dad at all for a long time when asked to go get him in Australia.
