one thing i haven't seen mentioned in this thread...

on the radio with kate, does jack ever say anything about taking sawyer with her? does he intend for sawyer to get away?

[/ QUOTE ]

I really didnt get this either. At first Im thinking "ok hes gonna pull a corney selfless act of kindness move and set free the two love birds." But then he doesnt say anything about her taking sawyer with him. If the writers intended for it to be a package deal, they really screwed up. As the episode aired jack kinda looks like an ass thats being indirectly selfish, if that makes sense.

also, Jack demands tht in return for doing surgery on Ben, they get him off the island. Jut him, not anyone else.

Do you really think Jack thinks they will let him off the island if he asks for it? He doesn't trust them. Jack is playing them all for fools.

Here's my prediction for next episode.

Kate: I can't! There is nowhere to go jack! We aren't on the same island.

Jack: What, what do you mean Kate? Did they put you up to this? Are they holding a gun to your head telling you to say this?

Kate: blah blah blah [cleavage shot] blah blah

Jack: Kate, I know they are putting you up to this so, I'm going to let Ben die. You think this is a game? You think I'm bluffing?

[But then Jack doesn't let Ben die and then they become friends and team up to fight the common enemy.]
