Re: speculation that might make this episode awesome...
How [censored] hard would it have been to make Jack act more rational? They can't be answering all the questions, but at least have him ask. I'm sure they could have thought of some believable way that involved not telling him.
Also, several more major nuisances, most of them involving Jack:
- 'We had an excellent surgeon. His name was Ethan.' ha HA! There! I bet you feel guilty now don't you! Err.. he was shot by the guy who he hung from a tree by his neck and left for dead. I'd bring that up for sure. Ben is basically forced to give an answer there.
- The overeagerness when getting the tattoo. And then the reaction by the villagers. Whatever the story behind that is, it's bound to suck balls.
- Kate and Sawyer. I don't really see this love story going anywhere. I didn't think that through, but now Sawyer's character becomes a lot less interesting. He's gonna pretend to be a badass and then finally, to Kate's surprise, tr to convince her he really loves her. During all that this uninteresting emotional crap is going to take valuable time off my Lost episodes. I wish they could at least just be a couple and move on, and explore some more interesting character twists that don't involve love.
- Jack and Tom. Tom seemed to open up a bit, introduced himself, showed his human side during the operation etc. If I were Jack I'd take every opportunity to become more friendly with those people. If you think they aren't being honest, you can always keep that in the back of your head, knowing that you'll give them a dose of their own medicine and 'trick' them into treating you better. But of course what does Jack do? Not acknowledge him and show him the nasty tumor on purpose. If I were held captive, I would take every opportunity that I got to interact with them on a more equal basis. It's a lot easier to treat someone like [censored] if he acts the way Jack does.
- Why on Earth didn't Jack talk to Cindy more? I understand how he might get pissed at the mentioning of Ana Lucia, as they = basically Others now and Others = basically responsible for her death. But still, WTF WTF WTF.
Makes me want to reach into my screen and punch people.
