And I get they needed to have her not know about Claire being pregnant so she would have no reason to suspect that Aaron was actually her grandson. And of course the flashbacks tie into the on-island plot in showing Claire's optimism in the face of adversity and her refusal to give up despite how bad things may seem (not giving up even though Charlie tells her he doesn't think the plan about the birds is going to work, Claire telling Charlie she won't give up on him regarding Desmond's visions). But I feel like they still could have accomplished both if they just made it so the car accident happened a few months before flight 815 crashed. It could have happened when Claire told her mother about being pregnant: as she predicted, her mom freaks out, they get into a fight about it, then crash because they are angry/emotional/not paying attention. Her mom could still be in a coma when Claire gets on flight 815, but it would only have been a few months, not years. And then when her mom wakes up, she can just have had like short term memory loss and not remember things that happened just prior to the accident and thus not remember that Claire was pregnant. Then her being recovered enough to be capable of going to LA for Christian's funeral would also seem more plausible if she had only been in a coma for like. five months instead of five years lmao.

yeah hi this is Desmond. we found this weird bunker on the deserted island and cracked it open and found the nice guy Jack met on a run several years ago inside. he's not really normal any more but you wouldn't be either after three years in the OCD Simulator. he's a very pleasant Scottish man who just wants to live his life and love his Penny but unfortunately Situations keep happening. he runs off wildeyed into the jungle and turns back up on his weird little sailboat. he blows up the OCD Simulator and promptly gets a new form of OCD that has him following the strange little former rockstar around, wringing his hands in angst and giving him apologetic looks, and immediately darting in front of him all like "no let me" and doing anything dangerous for him. once that whole saga reaches its tragic conclusion he immediately contracts Really Bad Jet Lag™️ and nearly dies. meanwhile, for him Personally there's this whole subplot throughline about how fear of losing what we love can drive it away faster than the things we're afraid of and how loving and knowing we're loved in return is sometimes all we need to keep going and how love bears all things believes all things hopes all things endures all things love never ends. and how that love just might end up being what gets them rescued in the end. also he has just the most INSANE dad lore. just casually dropping into conversations the time he was a monk or when he did bomb squad for a few months before getting kicked out of the army or sailing around the world. also he has a special interest in the works of Charles Dickens. and his favorite song is Make Your Own Kind Of Music by Cass Elliott.
