I think it's great to get a mix -- quick answers to some things, as well as some things to ponder. From what I'm hearing, this season we'll be getting a lot of the quick-type, which will be a refreshing change! :)

As for Jack, the show would end up being SOOOOO unsatisfying if, after they've shown us Jack's journey into madness (is that too strong? I wanna say I don't think it is!), they didn't show us his journey back. So yeah, I agree with you -- we'll see a stronger and wiser Jack by series' end, however it comes about.

I've been sworn to silence about the O6, but it could probably be tickled out of me if anybody wanted to try. *hides*
