The poster on Lost-Media.com clearly shows that it says Occupational Therapists Month 2000, in the scene with Michael in the wheelchair...it's mentioned that Walt is almost 2 years old at this time...since he's 10 y.o. in the show's present-time that would make it 2008 (not 2004).
So if it is 2008, what would be the significance of this if any?
I find it hard to believe that the show's creators just felt like setting the show 4 years in the future unless it meant something...or is that their way dropping another "4" clue to the viewers?
Well, there's been much speculation about a 4 year time period.
On these boards people talk about things that happend 4 years ago to the characters. And apparently JJ uses 4 a lot in other shows (don't watch 'em so...).
You could definately have a good point, cause the show taped in '04 and add 4 years gets you '08.

I asked Fury (the writer of the Special episode) this very question yesterday in the ask the VIP section. Crossing fingers that he'll answer. I also found it very interesting. BTW, OT month is April. This could also be a clue as to when Walt was born. April, 1998? Wondering what significance there might be to that.
I just assumed the 2000 thing was a flub-up. Then again, the producers know we look at everything, so...
They have mentioned a few things, the Patriot Act for one, which led me to believe it was in fact 2004. Since a big chunk of the Patriot Act has already been invalidated by the Supreme Court, I doubt people would be mentioning it much four years from now. Okay, maybe now I'm getting a little too detailed. ..

April, you say? Hmmm....you mean the 4th month of the calendar year If OT month is truly April (btw, may I ask how you know that), than the poster was definitely not a prop flub.
So is it possible that the plane crash hasn't happened yet and this is Walt's first full vision? These are the people that are waiting in the airport around him and he is seeing their past and what the future will be if the plane crashes? Locke, for some reason, knows that Walt is the only one who can change their destiny by fulling believing in his powers? It's kind of mind twisting and you have too let go of the present and think of it as the future and the 4 years ago is now...Oh I'm so confused.
