Awesome job as always, Bao! The two things that struck me the most in your post:

a) Young Kate steals a lunch box. Jacob gets her out of it, preventing real punishment.
b) Young Sawyer is encouraged by Jacob to write his revenge note. Thus encouraging/ promoting Sawyer's life of crime.
c) Jacob holds Sayid back at the intersection, but allows Nadia to get hit by the car.
d) Jacob tricks Hurley to come back to the island, telling him what he wants to hear. That he is not cursed, that he is not crazy.
e) Anti-Jacob is actually the good guy, and the loophole is that he figured out how to kill the evil one.
f) Anti-Jacob, representing good or a God-like figure, uses Locke to lead his people to kill Jacob, subsequently setting them free. Ben even referred to as "Moses" at the end of the episode. In the Old Testament what did Moses do? Set his people free.
g) Remember when Karl was being brainwashed in Room 23? One of the statements was "God loves you as He loved Jacob". Why does it say "loved?" Is Jacob like a fallen angel???

I actually do think that Jacob might be the "bad guy" in that duo. Haven't puzzled it all out yet, but it's nagging me.

If a hydrogen bomb goes off, this is exactly how this will be solved for the show continuity - It will not involve a reset, but the Oceanic 6 will carry their memories with them as Faraday's mice experiments proved could happen. We have already seen an example of how a historical change in time suddenly appears in the future of those impacted as sudden memories - When Faraday bangs on the Swan Hatch door and Desmond comes out, suddenly the next scene Desmond awakes in 2007 with a NEW memory - Not a dream but a memory. Thus the events in 1977 will suddenly be in the heads of the Oceanic 6 as memories.

Excellent, I completely forgot about the janitor at Oxford.
If what he says is true, then it resolves a big question I had about how the Losties will view the past few seasons' worth of memories, or whether they will at all.
I still don't have a handle on Jack's rationale or desire for resetting time. He obviously wants a better life, maybe even the better life that he had for a while with Kate--does he think that he has a better shot at that if they all go back to their pre-crash state? He wouldn't know Kate at all, though--not without these memories from the island. He doesn't have Desmond's knowledge, so I can't figure that one out...
