"There's even a 'start of time' sequence..."

Yes thats true and maybe its the Water Fall Scene where we seem to see a Flying Saucer we see a Humaniod who looks like they are healing from something. This Humaniod looks like the Blue Guys/Engineers and could be the Prometheus Character or it could be a Human the first one created i.e Adam. The other flash backs well there is a young actress playing Shaw and another playing her Father so i would assume these flash backs will be from her childhood and maybe occur during the Cryo sleep. As for the Water Fall/Potential begining of Time Scene it depends when that scene is actually shown.

You reckon the 'flashbacks' are part of Lindelof's scripting? lol ... he loves a flashback doesn't he? ... oh hell no ... please don't ...

there are some references to flashbacks ( regarding the beginning of time and shaw's father ) no one yet about time travel

This isn't a flashback the film is going to start with the beginning of time sequence (the sequence at the start of the trailer with the waterfall)
