Question for you all everybody. What should we be calling the two realities depicted on the show? I've been using the "LA X reality" and the "Season 1-5 reality" to distinguish them, but both names are frankly awkward. "LA X" feels like it should have a hyphen, and "Season 1-5" is both cumbersome and a bit misleading because it implies that Season 6 is a separate reality.
So what are the alternatives? I'm not a fan of the obvious "Alt" reality because Team Darlton have been adamant that the flashes sideways are not to an alternate reality. I suppose we could call it the "Sideways" reality, though the wine country connotations are overwhelming. Another one I prefer is the "X" reality, which has a nice Marvel comics connection. In a nod to Star Trek, there's also the "Mirror" universe.
Renaming the "Season 1-5" reality strikes me as even tougher. We could refer to it as the "Island" reality, though that's a little misleading because we know the Island exists both universes. Another possibility is the "Season 6" reality, though that, too, misleadingly implies a third separate reality. I have to admit I'm stumped. So what do you all everybody think?
