Careful where you stick that tongue, sweetie.

They were always meant to take actions so they wouldnt crash and have that non crash experience and they were always meant to eventually course correct it back to where they didnt.

So therefore, you cant call it a reset :p Its a brief alternate reality experience that they were always supposed to have!

Gotta love the old "it happened 'cuz it was supposed to happen, except where it's an exception and then it's only temporary" argument. At least give Phantom credit for being consistent.

Here's some questions to ponder: What if their time on the island was actually the brief alternate reality experience, caused by Desmond's mistake (you know, the Desmond who is Phantom's exception to the general rule), and the non-crash experience or "reset" is the course correction to get them back to their original intended destiny off of the island? What if the Oceanic Six failed miserably off the island because all of the original castaways weren't with them, so therefore they needed to return to the alternate universe island and find a way to get everyone back home? What if Jack and Kate were never intended to be together (as evidenced by their inability to make it work both on and off-island, so that the appropriate course correction is to wipe the slate clean and have them go their different ways? What if all of the Losties are supposed to figure out that redemption is available without some mysterious island to force it to the surface by way of death, confusion, ghosts, guns, flaming arrows or some heavy handed smoke monster? What if Eleanor Roosevelt could fly?

I don't believe any of the above, because it's too close to a Hollywood ending where everyone lives happily ever after . . . I'm 'jes sayin' it's not clear cut. When you turn the alternate reality hourglass upside down, it's hard to tell which universe is real.
