You know, I think what we're seeing with the 'Earth 2' stuff is what happens after the series ends. By the end, I bet it's up to Jack to reset the timeline, and it creates the new reality we are seeing. I'm probably wrong, though. Also, I maintain that the island might be the Biblical 'Garden of Eden', with the smoke monster being the snake, and Jacob being the angel that guards the gates.
Just LOSTing.
I'm going to miss this show.
