alliecat8First, about last night's episode, I'll say non-spoilerishly that I was happy to see that they're FINALLY getting things going this season, and I loved the beginning. I have plenty of good things to say later, I do, and some bad, but mainly this morning I just have a couple of questions for my dear Jack.
Jack, baby, you know I love you. I'd HAVE to love you to be able to put up with you for all these years. But I've just gotta know:
1) You're Aaron's uncle. You know that Kate is a murdering fugitive. And yet she tells you not to ask what she's done with the littlesnack kid (ok, that was tacky, eep) and offers you some bootie as a reward, and you totally forget about him? Oh yeah, you were the one who forgot about his Mum when she went missing, too. Oh Jack. *thumps him*
2) UM. I'm awfully glad that HURLEY worried about the fates of at least some of the passengers on that plane, because you, Dr. First-Harm-None, didn't give them a thought. But I've gotta let you off the hook for that, Jack, because that was SO OOC that I've gotta blame the writers, not you. *thumps them* But really. Dude.
ETA1: 2b) Yes, I know Jack rode around on planes in S3 hoping to crash, but there's a difference between hoping for an accident that'd be in no way his fault, and getting on a plane with good intel that it'd crash because he and the other O6 were on it. Oh, dude.
ETA2: 3) This isn't exactly about Jack, but at this point I'm ready to give Michael the Parent-of-the-Year award. Because at least he went around hollering "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAALT!!!" for something like eight seasons. He didn't up and forget about him like Claire, Kate, and Jack seem to have up-and-forgot-about Aaron as they went off on their various suicide missions, Sun forgot about Ji Yeon (same reason), and damn-near-everyone has either killed or been almost-killed-by their own fathers.
I haven't read my flist yet, so sorry if I stole your questions. I just now signed on and they wouldn't quit clamoring around my head so I had to get 'em out. Stay tuned for a real review when I'm done being befuddled.

Date: 2009-02-20 12:28 am (UTC)I believe this to be true. He has zero self-awareness of the consequences of his actions on others. The only thing that matters to him is what he thinks he wants. He's like Locke in that respect. How else can I rationalize Jack condoning torture, or withholding meds from Sawyer, or sticking a gun in his face demanding the guns back. Flying around in plane trip after plane trip hoping it would crash on the island again, or sticking a gun in Locke's face and actually pulling the trigger? It's all about Jack. And only Jack. You'd think after 4 and a half seasons his character would start to grow and realize his mistakes, but it only seems to be getting worse.
