  1:03 TABULA RASA : 
• This screencap of Kate at the farm in Australia shows homemade canned pears dated 2003. This is not inconsistent with present time being 2004,

• Kate hid out at Farmer Ray's farm for 3 months.

• Jack and his school friend Marc Silverman were beat up at a playground yard. Jack's dad does mention that,"I had a boy on my table today.

  Liam (his brother) tells him,"We've just been signed. A recording contract. You're going to be a rock god." Not long after Liam steals
  the show one night, they seperated for a unknown time. Then Charlie goes to visit Liam in Sydney to tell him that they have a new gig
  in L.A. Liam tries to get Charlie to enter rehab when he notices he is still using. Charlie storms off to catch his flight.

  1:09 SOLITARY: 
• Sayid told Danielle he's been holding on to hope of Nadia for 7 years, so she must have disappeared in 1997. Sayid left Iraq shortly
  thereafter, as revealed in TGG.
  
• Assuming that the wreck occurred shortly before Danielle's original transmission, it happened 16 years and 7 months before the plane crash.
  Two months later, her team became "sick" returning from the Black Rock.
  
• Danielle told Hurley that her distress transmission originally included the Cursed Numbers sent 16 years and 7 months before the crash,
  but she changed it two months later to remove the numbers (revealed in NUM). Around that time, Danielle gave birth to her daughter Alex,
  who was taken by the Others one week later (revealed in EX1).
  
  
  1:10 RAISED BY ANOTHER: 
• Brisbane Broncos poster in the apartment of Claire's boyfriend Thomas commemorates years 1992 - 2000. She was about 6 weeks pregnant
  when she took the test, so the flashback took place sometime in February or March 2004. She visited the psychic Richard Malkin two days later,
  and moved in with Thomas that Tuesday.
  
• Thomas broke up with Claire after they'd lived together for 3 months so she was about four and a half months pregnant.

  1:14 SPECIAL:
• Poster shows Michael talking to Susan, while recovering in hospital. In the background is a poster for Occupational Therapy Month, April 2000.
  That date does not give with the time during which Michael should have been in the hospital according to Walt's current age of 10. The poster
  should read 1996, as Michael's accident occured 8 years before the crash. Note: this poster was not seen in the actual episode.
  
• Walt's mother Susan Porter died 2 weeks before the crash. Michael flew to Australia to retrieve Walt just days before they got on the plane together.
