HOW WAS HE CHRISTIAN SHEPHARD WHEN HE APPEARED ON THE KAHANA?

HOW WAS HE CHRISTIAN SHEPHARD WHEN THERE WERE TWO PEEPS IN THE CABIN (CHRISTIAN IN THE ROCKING CHAIR AND WHAT I BELIEVED TO BE ESAU PUTTING HIS EYE UP TO THE WINDOW)

HOW WAS HE CHRISTIAN SHEPHARD IN THE DONKEY WHEEL ROOM WHEN CHRISTIAN SHEPHARD DIDN'T EXIST BEFORE THE WELLS (AND HE COULDN'T BE TIME TRAVELLING BECAUSE HE WAS WITH SUN AND FRANK IN THE PRESENT)?

IFKR, THERE IS NO WAY THAT SMOKEY COULD JUST HAVE BEEN CHRISTIAN ALL THOSE TIMES. I REFUSE TO BELIEVE IT.

BUT WAIT, HE WASN'T WITH FRANK & SUN DURING THE DONKEY WHEEL PART, I DON'T THINK. THAT PART HAPPENED WHEN FRANK & SUN WERE OFF THE ISLAND WITH THE REST OF THE O6... RIGHT? i am confused. BUT HE STILL SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN IN THAT WELL IDEK. I THINK IT WAS A GHOST AND THAT'S WHY HE COULDN'T HELP HIM UP? BUT THEN I GUESS THAT MEANS THE GHOSTS CAN TIME TRAVEL, BUT THE OTHERS (LIKE RICHARD) CAN'T... LMFAO WHAT?

YES, THOSE HAPPENED AT DIFFERENT TIMES BUT...
WHAT I MEAN IS IF HE COULD TIME TRAVEL HE WOULD AMONG SAWYER'S GROUP-- WHICH WOULD ENABLE HIM TO SPEAK WITH LOCKE IN THE DONKEY WHEEL CHAMBER, WHATEVS. AND IT WOULD MAKE SENSE FOR HIM TO BE CHRISTIAN IF THAT WERE THE CASE BECAUSE HE'D KNOW WHO CHRISTIAN IS.

HOWEVER, HE WAS MOST ACTIVE WITH SUN, FRANK, AND BEN-- THE PEEPS THAT DIDN'T TIME TRAVEL. GRANTED, SMOKEY PROBABLY EXISTED BEFORE THE WELLS WERE BUILT BUT HE WOULD HAVE NO REFERENCE OF CHRISTIAN TO TAKE ON HIS FORM BECAUSE CHRISTIAN DIDN'T EXIST HUNDREDS, THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO.

THIS IS REALLY HARD TO ARTICULATE BUT YEAH...

He can probably use his mind to project himself. Remember when Locke asked him to help him up in the wheel room? Smokey wasn't really there, so he couldn't.

YEAH, THAT WHOLE BIT WHERE CHRISTIAN'S LIKE "I CAN'T HELP YOU UP" MADE ME THINK OK, CHRISTIAN'S A GHOST, NOT SMOKEY BUT AGAIN THAT MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE FOR A GHOST TO BE AROUND IN A TIME BEFORE ITS CARNATE SELF EXISTED.

I GUESS THAT MAKES SENSE BUT IF THAT ENDS UP BEING THE CASE I AM GOING TO PUT A FLAMING BAG OF POOP OUTSIDE OF DARLTON'S OFFICES.
STUPID JEDI SHIT... FFS.

We saw that stuff concurrently but the time travel stuff happened 3 years prior to Sun and Frank coming back to the island.

As far as why he'd be time- traveling, I've only got that he was with Claire when the wheel became unstuck and thus they traveled together. But that's just me trying to make sense of all this weirdness. It might make more sense if/when we find out how exactly he became Smokey, maybe it afforded him some unique property to travel along to whenever the island flashed.

WELL THERE'S REALLY NOTHING I CAN REFERENCE TO ANYTHING HAPPENING ON-ISLAND DURING THOSE THREE YEARS WHEN THE O6 WEREN'T THERE BECAUSE... THERE WEREN'T ANY DEFINITE SCENES THAT TOOK PLACE DURING THAT TIME...

OH, SHIT, GOOD POINT. HE WAS WITH CLAIRE AND CLAIRE DIDN'T TRAVEL IN TIME BECAUSE SHE WAS BEING HARASSED BY THE TEMPLE OTHERS FOR THREE YEARS AND THE OTHERS DIDN'T JUMP WITH SAWYER AND THEM.

Yeah, I think lostwithme is right and he was able to ~project his image as Christian and talk to the time travelers. Maybe?

IMO it's important that Flocke said that he was ONLY Christian when leading Jack to the caves. Jack asked if he was Christian on the third day (oooh okay I am just now getting that reference), and Flocke said yes, that time he was.

I'm sure he wearing the Papa Shep Meatsuit a few other times, but Flocke is REALLY particular about his choice of words. Those times you mentioned might have actually been Dead Christian or something, and other times were probably Flocke.

That's my theory and I'm sticking to it.
