Highly confused about the hydrogen bomb explosion

Finished the series and too many questions around this:

\- Did the bomb explode?

\- If it exploded why didn't everyone die?

\- If it exploded and Jack, Kate and etc were transported to the future instead of dying, what about the dharma workers and Miles' father father who appeared on the dharma tapes?

How could they survive a hydrogen bomb explosion since miles' father obviously lives to talk the "incident" on the dharma tapes?

\- If the bomb exploded, then what happened to the incident? Was it diverted since the electromagnetic field could no longer be released due to the explosion? If so, why does the plane crash still occur?

\- Did Daniels mother have the memory that she is the killer of her own son?

Say something genuinely nice about the episode Stranger in a Strange Land

I've rewatched about 7 or 8 times, and there's not a single episode I dislike. The criticisms for this episode are well documented, so let's say something we genuinely think the episode did well, or scenes we liked.


For instance, I liked seeing Sawyer be nice (nice for Sawyer) to Karl.

Does anyone else feel like the back story of the others kind of ruins the show and sends it off track? 1. I think the beginning of the show is so much better when it’s just about survival and getting to know the characters. The others also work much better for me when there mysterious and creepy, like the discovery of Ethan, or the first meeting with the torches. I would have kept the show purely about survival with the mystery aspects never fully explained and have the others be a former crash trying to claim the island, living in isolation and building their own civilization (which they essentially do) but more in the sense of a new nation rather then a science experiment.

The island doesn't seem to give people free will then why does it also want people to confront their past?

\- The island deliberately puts people in positions where they fight off their traumatic past. For eg, Jack needs to let go of always wanting to be in control and "fixing" things, etc.

\- However, it doesn't appear that the people had the free will to choose their actions. Jack for example, HAD to blow the bomb. It was literally the incident, so him blowing the bomb set things for everything to be in motion.

\- Imagine a hypothetical version of Jack who genuinely lets go of his need for control before deciding to detonate the bomb.

If he truly had free will, he would say “I’m not going to do this. I don’t need to fix everything.”

But then the Incident wouldn never happen, and everything falls apart.

So it seems like the Island doesn’t actually allow Jack to make that choice which defeats the purpose of the characters trying to confront their past.

What do you think?
