"Despite that nice exchange between Jack and Locke and Hurley's incessant good luck, I'm thinking that maybe the alternate future will be going straight to hell. I'm foreseeing things along these lines: a botched surgery for John Locke at Jack's hands, Sawyer swindling Hurley out of his money (don't underestimate that character arc that Sawyer underwent on the island that a lack of crash has now prevented), Kate's being killed in a hail of gunfire (or maybe Claire and unborn Aaron in the crossfire), Jin and Sun's marriage falling apart, etc.
And I'm wondering if Jack won't be experiencing more and more "deja vu." The disappearance of his father's body and the appearance of Desmond (hallucination by Jack?) indicate to me that there will be a tangible link to what could have been. Once everything has gone to hell, will a haunted Jack be the only one left to seek answers? Maybe he'll track down Ellie or Faraday? And then will the lesson ultimately be to leave things as they were, thus bringing us full circle?"

So . . . . the writers were sitting around watching It's a Wonderful Life, and said "What the Hell, I can't think of anything better"?
Jack throws a lasso round the island and drags it up from the bottom of the ocean, then goes running down the beach yelling "Hello Swan Hatch!, Hello Four Toed Statue!, Merry Christmas ya olde Smoke Monster!"
I was thinking the same thing . . .
