We learned quite a bit about the "lost family tree" so to speak, unless I just missed the whole charlie being whidmore's son, eloise being his wife, and daniel being his son as well. I wonder who penny's mom is or have we met her already at some point and she's just not important?
So it seems that this alternate time line started after the nuke was set off which presents a fairly obvious question: is the fight on the island with Locke et al happening after Desmonde goes and tells everyone that they're living a lie or is it happening simultaneously and the two realities will converge with even more parallelism into either a single existence, the destruction of both, or the death of one.

The alternate time-line couldn't have started after the nuke went off as everybody, especially int his episode, is completely different and both Daniel and Charlie were dead prior to the nuke. One of the recurring themes is that dead is dead so my guess for now is that the alternate time-line was always there, the events on the island somehow bridge the gap between multiple dimensions.
