The fact that they decided to do a time change that sent the current star trek film into an alternate universe - makes me wonder me wonder if your distrust may not be on target. Also Alias in the final seasons did...let's just say, jump off target to fit crazy plot twists as opposed to theme. It's hard to trust Abrahams. I trust Whedon to stick to theme far more.
But...it doesn't fit the pattern of the story or the plot to date - which has consistently shown us that no matter what the characters do they are doomed to end up where they currently are. Also - the title is "lost", so unless they can do the reset in such a way that the stories would still center on that theme, and the island would still factor in...
Plus we got what is happening in the future that they went out of their way to create. To unravel that..
Sigh. I think if they did, then it would be huge mistake, a jump the shark moment - which they already did in I think Season 2 or 3, and went to the network begging and pleading for an end date so they could write a story that had a conclusion, was well plotted, and thematically cohesive, without the jump the shark moments.
So, I'm thinking...that if they do do the reset, it may not be what we think - it may be option three, a few things changed, but not the central one - the plane crash still happens, just..a few events have changed?
