Could it be that the incident at the swan was actually the bomb exploding and not the electromagnetic build-up? That way Faraday was actually fulfilling his destiny to get the plane on the island and complete the circle.

I think the biggest thing holding the 2004 and 1974 timelines together, though, is the "Adam and Eve" they found in Season 1. Surely, it will be 2 of the main characters - 1 male, 1 female. But that would mean that in 1974 they changed nothing, and ultimately died on the island so that in 2004 they could find their own dead bodies from the past.

I highly doubt they will go all Back to the Future on it and alter their present (in the past), so the crash never happened. I think Hurley's joke about "disappearing" a few episodes ago was the writer's way of telling us that.

I thought they were in 1977..

There's a distinct lack of Disco Balls. I'm calling Shens on the whole 1977 thing!!

It is 1977 or 1978. One of the two.
