<p>All Jack’s dream, like “Dallas” :)</p>

<p>m&sdad,</p>

<p>I disagree, only because Jack was supposed to die halfway through the pilot. I don’t think that Abrams and crew would have considered killing him off if the setting was supposed to be his dream.</p>

<p>Who else noticed that the show actually takes place around a decade in the future?</p>

<p>I don’t think it’s his dream at all. Actually, I don’t think that there truly was a plane crash - just the illusion of one.
A decade in the future? What haven’t I noticed?</p>

<p>Okay, notice how nobody actually overtly mentions the date, but there are some clues.</p>

<p>By the way, I was wrong about a decade. More like 6 years.</p>

<p>Here’s the thing- When Michael was in the hospital, he made a drawing for Walt. That drawing was dated 2002. When he was in the lawyer’s office, the Twin Towers were still standing, so it had to be on or before September 10th, 2001. At that time, Walt was 2 or so. By the time of the crash, he’s around 10 or 11. That means that AT MINIMUM, the show probably takes place 4 years in the future, if not more.</p>

<p>Woah … I did not notice the Twin Towers standing. Any other references?</p>

<p>Hmm… The Walt one is the biggest. Also, apparently the washer and drier in the hatch are stamped with something like 2005 on them, and show some wear. I think that was another one.</p>

<p>And expiration dates on food have been used as evidence for the future date.</p>

<p>Well, it seems like there are no coincidences on the show … interesting!</p>
