LOST Pre-Game: “What Kate Does”

In the X timeline, several characters are long dead. If the bomb destroyed the Island in 1977, that means Benry, White Oracle, Widmore, and Richard “Batmanuel” Alpert are dead. Daniel Faraday was never born. Miles and Charlotte most likely survived, depending on whether the evacuation sub got to a safe distance. Penny might never have been conceived – we don’t know her exact age. And get this – if the Island is destroyed in 1977, the only Lostaway who met Jacob is Sawyer. Sawyer’s parents died in 1976 (Remember the Bicentennial stamp on his letter?), but all of the other meetings with Jacob happened after the bomb went off. It seems that the people touched by Jacob are special, and now, Sawyer is the only special one left.
