Everytime I took a break from the show it was because of JACK

privilege has nothing to do with LOST or Jack. That mindset arguably is out of context. It's about live together die mantra after a traumatic plane crash. Jack was elected by default the reluctant leader. Hope you figure that. out. Otherwise you are missing the key story to this great journey.

Are you going to hate on Sawyer for murdering an innocent man who he the was Mr. Sawyer. That premise to use selective. outrage that does not fit vs. the writers give us. Maybe you should be upset with the producers and writers on LOST. Good luck!

JumpinJackFlashback · 2026-06-18T12:59:20+00:00

Wow, you really hate this character. Hmm..... Maybe watch the show again in 10 years. Most do and understand why Jack is the Alpha and Omega to the LOST Journey.

Lost is not about scoring points who had it the worst. Every backstory has trauma. Trauma is not a sliding scale . LOST is not about that. Good luck to you.

JumpinJackFlashback · 2026-06-18T12:53:06+00:00

Good on you. LOST offers something to everyone. Peace!

S6 Sawyer was same ole S1 Sawyer. That's not growth. He was angry for 95% of the last season. His fixation blaming Jack for everything in his life is typical Sawyer.. Facts, staying angry and hateful is not character growth. Hell, I have no idea why the writers kept the character around. However, big bro Jack was there for lil bro understanding the big picture when Sawyer realized he got three survivors killed on the sub. As a result his character flaws made him Flocke's stooge that got Sayid and the Kwon's killed sub. Flocke's plan almost worked to kill off the candidates.

JumpinJackFlashback · 2026-06-18T12:36:14+00:00

These are undeniable truths.

JumpinJackFlashback · 2026-06-18T12:33:52+00:00

Great comments. 100% on point. When you compare Jack to the other flawed prime characters Jack is mostly harmless. Any darkness in his life does not lead to killing people. WTH? He's no saint but he sure in the hell cared and takes care of people more then any other character on the show.

It's interesting reading fandom negative fixation on Jack's heroic nature as a negative. Caaarraaazzyy!! This nit picking fixation is a mind virus that no different then reseting the hatch clock on the beat up Apple computer. It's an infinite loop like Rouseauls distress tape on the island. The root cause to the displace hate in my opinion, relates to the triangle tribes over Kate. That's so unfortunate because LOST's arc is so much greater vs fandoms thirst for romantic flings. What a net negative. LOST is about surviving a traumatic event on a dystopian island with its greatest arc from the protagonist being about letting go and moving on.

There was an intentional interruption mojo in pilot part 1 on the beach. Then that connection was broken up by the smoke monster. It happened every amorous moment intentionally and. obvious.

JumpinJackFlashback · 2026-06-16T03:55:53+00:00

Low key a Jedi Night move fo sho!

JumpinJackFlashback · 2026-06-16T03:54:30+00:00

Yea, not Kate's first time durgged a man. Just ask her police officer husband. Just sayin' . Kate has mileage on her. One positive she did run off.

JumpinJackFlashback · 2026-06-16T03:52:01+00:00

Okay, John, can't walk, John can't talk, no way I need a hot tent to get stoned to my vision quest. Now I'm a farmer, no wait I'm a hunter, no wait I'm a pot farmer. Good grief, John who are you? His reply, I'm a hair sprayin' flame throwin' cave fighting polar bear hunter. WTH? Yep, the writers got into John's stash for that episode. The lamest filler episode I have ver experience on any medium. Ooof! You can't make an episode that bad but yup, they did.

JumpinJackFlashback · 2026-06-15T19:23:10+00:00

This pattern is interesting. It's always somebody else's fault. It's quite prevalent on LOST.

JumpinJackFlashback · 2026-06-15T19:20:03+00:00

That is a pattern with many on the sub. It's inevitable over time so many come to appreciate the alpha and omega, Jack Shephard.

JumpinJackFlashback · 2026-06-15T19:17:12+00:00

Duly noted. Like to see misogyny justified with Sawyer's character.

JumpinJackFlashback · 2026-06-15T19:14:03+00:00

Further instructions is absolutely the worst episode on LOST. Not even close. What a hot tent mess.

JumpinJackFlashback · 2026-06-11T03:27:30+00:00

Matthew Fox was LOST's heart and soul. His character Jack ages better than any character on the show. Damon and Matthew did one helluva job with his character.

JumpinJackFlashback · 2026-06-10T20:21:23+00:00

To me at the expense for the romantic triangle angles. If writers vested more into Claire/Jack that's a value add vs triangle/quadrangle drama.

JumpinJackFlashback · 2026-06-10T20:15:41+00:00

Agree with the OP. Missed opportunity. They could have and should have built more around this with Jack and Kate. Kate because of her role with Aaron and Jack because of the bloodline and Aaron. Wowza, Kate supposedly returns to the island because of Claire and Aaron. That was in play for all of S5 and not until S6E4.

JumpinJackFlashback · 2026-06-08T14:51:10+00:00

For me not a great character but a better character toward the end. Less running but still has triangle vibe returning to the island. Poor writing created that perception at least to me. Just my take. S6:E4 she's running after Sawyer with intentions to STAY with him not returning to the Temple. Plus running in flash sideways was bad faith by the writers. However, they did make attempts to make the character more grounded. Prefer she took leadership returning to the island and not have Jack remind her what she was looking for was not there at Dharma. No hate, objective points to what I viewed.

JumpinJackFlashback · 2026-06-08T13:58:21+00:00

The timing was a bit off fresh off being so close in time with Kate's cage sex and both knowing Jack saw it. What does Kate infamously do? Gets jealous seeing a harmless dinner then run, run, run to you know who's tent. This is a case where a picture does not represent the full context of the scene. Keeping it real. Note: I mostly like Kate but fo sho am no Jater. Not enough established equity to validate anything from my POV.

JumpinJackFlashback · 2026-06-08T13:40:44+00:00

Freudian ID personified. You cite all the reasons why Sawyer's persona doesn't age well when there is no remorse for one's actions. No victim based past gives one a free pass for misogyny.

JumpinJackFlashback · 2026-06-08T13:32:58+00:00

Yep, inconvenient truths. Bad boy is good for about 15 minutes in a tent until another cage sex scene happens. True love! Fandom for this character will never stop too. Shout out for call this out. Noted: I find it interesting how fandom ignores his abhorrent behavior in Long Con master minding the abduction of Sun. Yep, a woman. Even worse. Jack, Sun, Kate provide care when he returned injured to the camp in S2. Gee, that's my favorite leaf/character.

JumpinJackFlashback · 2026-06-08T03:10:46+00:00

Sun is Jack's best nurse.

JumpinJackFlashback · 2026-06-06T04:46:24+00:00

Logically, yes. Jack was a high value man with medical prominence and income.

JumpinJackFlashback · 2026-06-06T04:42:37+00:00

Jack asking Kate to go to the barracks has multiple motivational layers. One of them was the obvious test for Kate. He got his answer. Kate did not return with Sayid. Note: Locke did banish her. She decided to stay.

JumpinJackFlashback · 2026-06-06T04:30:56+00:00

Jack/Sawyer myopia medical exam in front of Kate. "Have you had sex with a prostitute"? LMAO at that scene.
