Oh yeah, so not quite as coincidental.

I don't think it's a literal alternate Universe, but rather just a "Hey, this is what would have happened if they never went to the Island."

Instead of a flashback or flashforward, they're just doing flash sideways'.

Incorrect. It is an alternate reality. Showing you what would have happened for shits and giggles makes no sense narratively, especially since it's the final season.

Blowing up the island with a bomb caused an alternate timeline that stems from that moment onwards. I'm pretty sure the producers confirmed this.

Not to mention that if it was just showing what would've happened, why is everything slightly askew? and why would the characters seem to have weird reactions to Aarons name, jack meeting desmond, etc.

Neat.

I have a feeling that if any of the characters die in this timeline, their consciousness will transfer over to the other, based on that weird stuff that Juliet was saying before she tried to tell Sawyer that it worked. Hopefully their memories will go with them so everything that happens in the show isn't a waste.
