Ah, the storyline moves on.
Kinda. Sorta...
It's obvious now that the secondary timeline has it's origins WAY before flight 815, possibly before the Incident. Basically, it's "what would things be like if Jacob had never influenced anyone's life". However, I am bucking the trend, and stating that the secondary timeline will NOT merge with the primary one...it's simply there to study the nuances of the characters. We're seeing parts of them blossom that we only say hints of on the Island.
Second, this season is pissing me off. They've walked away from the great storytelling to answer "questions"...and the answers are almost invariably exactly what everyone already figured out. Thanks guys. Oh, big surprise, Richard was on the Black Rock, oh wow!
There is very little time left, and they are driving this thing squarely into a Milton-esque view of the world, all while setting up what will be a annoying "war" because there's no time to watch it play out properly.
The only fun thing is watching Jacob state over and over that he's not the Devil, then flipping over to supernatural and watching him play...the Devil
