I think it was just a device used by the writers to make the viewer think it was a flash back and not a flash forward. I assume it will be easily covered up by Jack's apparent raging alcoholism and addiction to Oxycodone.
It was a good episode, but I feel they cheated with Charlie's death. There would have been more than enough time for him to leave the door open and both of them to swim for safety. I guess he wanted things to happen according to Desmond's visions, accepted his fate and drowned, but I still feel cheated. They should have made that a more "no other choice" situation.
I guess the next few seasons will be set in present time with flash backs to the island. Should be interesting!
They had better tie up all of the questions that they posed in the first few seasons though...just because they get rescued does not mean the writers can just shut the door.

Am I reading too much into it? or was Jack just being his new weird self? |
