The only possible thing I can currently come up with is - does this mean Desmond somehow become Jack's constant? Later in the season/time? That he... BARRING ABSOLUTELY NO EXPLANATION HERETO appear just briefly enough in this alternate timeline to... tie it to the old one? Which then forces all the connections we see happen after the fact? Think about it - Jack and Rose, that makes sense. They were talking just before the plane lands. Eeeeeeeeverything else unfolds after Desmond randomly appears (then disappears) from Jack's aisle. I - that makes sense to me?
(I still go back to my original theory two [three?] years ago. About the island becoming ~untethered~ from time.)
After the end of the first hour, I was talking to my dad, and he was all like "So, what happened?" and I was like "They killed my favorite character. *beat* AGAIN." and he looked at me funny, but mostly I am focusing on the SPLIT TIMELINES SO EVERYONE'S TECHNICALLY ALIVE part. (And then they're going to rejoin the timelines, and she's going to die AGAIN, I am calling it right the fuck now.)
Did Jack cry during every scene or was it just me?
Oh, I have missed this show and its EPIC FUCKING LUNACY. WHERE THE FUCK DID THAT TEMPLE EVEN COME FROM? DID NO ONE NOTICE THE GREAT BIG FUCK-OFF TEMPLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ISLAND?
I'm sort of enjoying the fact that this show has finally 100% embraced GOD WE REALLY HATE JACK AND HIS STUPID IDEAS SOMETIMES finally. I say this, um, still liking Jack? Sort of?
THE ISLAND IS UNDER WATER IN THE ALTERNATE TIMELINE. WHAT DOES IT MEAN. IS THE ANSWER: THIS WHOLE BUSINESS IS THE LOST CITY OF ATLANTIS? Um. Actually? ...shit.
(TWO. TIMELINES. It's like my brain wrote the most perfect time travel story ever!)
I don't hate Jack! I say this while acknowledging that I was totally rooting for one of the Temple Others to shoot his ass during that "conversation" at the end. On the other hand, I finally like Kate again.
IS THE ANSWER: THIS WHOLE BUSINESS IS THE LOST CITY OF ATLANTIS? Um. Actually? ...shit.
...fucking hell.
(I'm going to be expecting people in the alt!timeline to start vanishing now, thanks to that fic of yours.)
Also, goddamn, I am still loling over the fact that there is yet another set of people chilling out in the island in a massive temple and no one noticed them until now. The lead guy is amazing, I called him Genghis Khan and his associate? John Lennon because of the glasses.
Except - maybe it's not that they were just randomly chilling for six seasons - what if The Genghis Khan Beatles (THIS IS WHAT I SHALL CALL THEM NOW, THANK YOU) are actually the original Others? The ones the Dharma Initiative had loads of trouble with? Richard's original people? And they took a hippie grad student hostage? I knoooooooow there's loads of spec that Richard was on that slave ship (Black Rock?) that crashed on the island, and I always got the sense that his involvement with Widmore et al was more along the lines of tour guide rather than, you know, member.
SAYID IS JACOB 2.0. LOST: WE'VE TOTALLY GOT CYLONS TOO EXCEPT OURS DON'T SUCK BECAUSE THEY CAN TURN INTO SMOKE? THAT'S GREAT.

A group of us just had a crazy number of posts on my journal during this episode, and that right there is one of them.
And the baptism thing, too. We're with you.
