BTW, vis a vis the timelines, maybe I'm wrong but so far it is starting to seem as if Earth 2 is, in fact, an arguably happier place for most of the major characters (Jack, [maybe] Kate, Hurley, Locke, Claire, Sayid).
So this begs the question: Does that mean that the problems in their lives were caused in one form or another, by Jacob's tampering? And, if so, maybe Smoke-Locke is right about Jacob not being the good guy?
