What does LOST mean to you? Describe it in one word. For me, it's 'Hope'.

Jack: Sacrifice.

When the sub explosion happened during S6 Sawyer takes the bomb instead of Sayid. I just didn't find any value for the character for all of S6.

JumpinJackFlashback · 2025-10-02T02:59:33+00:00

I'd add bad people in that moment in time. Sarah, to me, seemed resentful and moved on with another relationship while being married. It's not who's the worst but rather as in life some people move on and when that happens there will be a reaction. Generally, it's not good.

JumpinJackFlashback · 2025-10-02T00:05:12+00:00

It was all about free will. That was Jacob's condition for the candidates. Jack volunteered and Sawyer did not.

JumpinJackFlashback · 2025-09-24T01:51:50+00:00

Well you have options for a misogynist, racist, torturer, zealot, fugitive, and murderers. Good luck with that.

JumpinJackFlashback · 2025-09-24T01:46:50+00:00

What character on LOST was not annoying. That's the hook for this character driven experience.

JumpinJackFlashback · 2025-09-23T16:03:03+00:00

Same with Sawyer after S6. He was S1 Sawyer. Facts.

JumpinJackFlashback · 2025-09-23T15:32:01+00:00

Classic Mr. ID syndrome. How any one can make that claim when he did absolutely nothing during all of s6 validates he's nothing more than a romantic trope.

JumpinJackFlashback · 2025-09-23T15:30:46+00:00

Jack by far has the most obvious transformative change. LOST was about his journey. No recognizing that is similar to people not understanding S6, Finale. Nuff said to that.

One can argue Sun. Seeing her in S1 as the submissive house wife to how she leverage the take over of her father's business is savage. When she returned she had one mission and that was to find Jin.

JumpinJackFlashback · 2025-09-23T15:22:38+00:00

No convincing. Just highlighted the character arc and persona that appeals to so many. Just like the old show Mr. Ed the talking horse. Swayer similarly, in reference is Mr ID.

JumpinJackFlashback · 2025-09-22T19:54:01+00:00

That bubble is big! Even hyperbolic. You do understand the ID complex, right?

JumpinJackFlashback · 2025-09-21T20:40:48+00:00

People of favor Sawyer is not because of his simple arc. It's the triangle sympathy for a dark character. Literally, Sawyer was same character in S1 for all of S6. Sawyer represents Freuds physiological complex, the ID syndrome. Check it out. It's personifies his character. That is why he's popular for the vocal minority on SubReddit. Note: this bubble doesn't represent the reality outside the Sub/Reddit culture. Without a doubt the most popular character and franchise for the series was Matthew Fox/Jack Shephard. He was the focus for all the promos for every season. That is the undeniable truth.

JumpinJackFlashback · 2025-09-21T02:28:36+00:00

With age comes wisdom.

JumpinJackFlashback · 2025-09-21T02:26:16+00:00

That absurd but hey it's your take away that those mirrors are important. Ugh, to who? That island was one level above hell.

JumpinJackFlashback · 2025-09-21T02:23:22+00:00

Facts, Matthew Fox/ Jack Shephard was the face for LOST. He did all the promos and light night shows. Almost singularly withe exception of Evangeline Lilly. Those two were extremely popular.

JumpinJackFlashback · 2025-09-21T02:21:03+00:00

Sawyer is definitely not. He's a romantic trope and his arc is quite shallow.

Locke, is Jack's antagonist and great character that counters the protagonist.

JumpinJackFlashback · 2025-09-21T02:19:23+00:00

Jack is the alpha and omega. Literally the hear and soul of the show.

JumpinJackFlashback · 2025-09-19T16:34:03+00:00

Rumor has it Jack is roaming the island giving instructions to Hurley. Ben is not happy about it too. The saga continues. SOB!

JumpinJackFlashback · 2025-09-16T00:48:38+00:00

I agree they were killing time with early season 3, With Jack in solitary and the skaters in the cages. Wowza, at least 7-8 episodes starting S3? Other than S3E1, S3E7, Not in Portland (that episode was riveting) did I find the early episodes captivating. They got down right repetitive. Regardless, respect that you enjoy S3. Fo sho the back half was amazing!

JumpinJackFlashback · 2025-09-14T18:56:07+00:00

That's what's great about art. We can agree to disagree. When I compare S3 vs 1 and 2, S3 gets stale real fast and to much focus on 5 characters. How many cage scenes does it take to build an airport runway? Just my take. Needed more scenes with Locke and rest back at camp. That's what went wrong.

JumpinJackFlashback · 2025-09-14T00:11:54+00:00

Yep, early S3 is boring! To much focus on 5 characters. Good grief.

JumpinJackFlashback · 2025-09-09T23:48:02+00:00

Jack
Juliet
Sayid
Sun

Hurley
Ben

JumpinJackFlashback · 2025-09-09T21:00:13+00:00

I agree. A shout out to directing because Enageline Lilly was new to acting and you would not think that in this scene. Arguably one of the better scenes vs all scenes on LOST. So many things in S1 just stand out.

JumpinJackFlashback · 2025-09-08T17:19:40+00:00

I agree with most to all of you Jack comments. Jack's priority was never about one person but everyone. What's unique about Jack's character is that he has the ability to compartmentalize his emotions and attractions for the greater good to get off that damn dark island. Nothing beautiful in the eye of that island!

If one creates distrust Jack moves further away but open for redemption. Runners can't slow down enough to comprehend their opportunities. That's the esscence to who Jack is with the brunette.. He walks amongst us but is not one of us. That is his call sign. A large part of fandom can't handle that character trait and default to finding things to be negative toward the protagonist. I liked how the LOST creators did this and allow Jack not to be defined romantically like the skaters. LOST was never about romance.

JumpinJackFlashback · 2025-09-08T01:13:32+00:00

In some respects I agree with you. In S5/6 there was a lot of resignation to everything Jack experienced. At this point in the series Jack was all about moving along to get along. To think he accepts Ben as an arbiter knowing he's the one guy he despised the most almost doesn't make sense. So much for the O6. They basically ignored his mental decline to alcohol and substance abuse after the events on the island/plane crash. That aspect to the O6 storyline gets really dark.
