LOST: Jack Kills Everybody!

I was reading a new (published after the premiere) interview, and the producers brought up a point that bothered me a lot during the finale - how arrogant are the group that decided to set off the bomb? They really only thought of how things might work out for them, but not of all the other people and events that might be affected. Apparently that idea will be explored. Cindy




Well, that's Jack's thing isn't it? Nemesis tells us that Locke is the only one he respects because Locke is the only one who knew enough to want to stay on fantasy island (I guess he never met Rose and Bernard). Jack did everything he could to screw Locke. The Island turned Locke from a shlubby pathetic cripple (hate that word, but its what Locke would call himself), into a baddass, boar hunting, tarzanesque leader of men. But it don't work for Jack so he has to get everybody off the island. So Jack drags the six off the island and everybody has to deal, but then Jack changes his mind and decides we all have to go back. Problem is, Locke has to sacrifice himself to make it work, first by giving up paradise and leaving the island, then by, as Richard warns him, taking his own life -- which was a totally noble thing until Ben showed up. Jack manages to drag everybody back to the island and then decides he's still not happy. Dude, we totally gotta blow up the island. I'm with Sawyer, stfu Jack. But Jack plays on Juliet's weakness (perhaps unwittingly), she stops Sawyer from stopping Jack, she even bangs on the nuclear weapon (eight times, geeze), and blows Jack out to an alternate reality while she gets to die twice. Now Jack is probably going to decide he's not happy again and fuck something else up (god damn yuppy asshole, go buy yourself a porsche, find an empty-headed nineteen year old to blow you in it, and leave everybody else alone!).

Lets see how things work out for people after Jack "saves" them by exploding them in a mushroom cloud:

Rose -- gonna die of cancer
Bernard -- widower
Kate -- going to jail
Sawyer -- conman, unredeemed asshole
Claire -- loses her baby to adoption (I think he's supposed to be the antichrist or )
Charlie -- slap those junkie chains back on brother, no heroic redemption for you either
Boone -- still freakin after his sister, tortured by his own perversion
Sayid -- vicious thug, torturer for hire, I hear Abu Graib needs somebody
Eko -- drug dealer, warlord, hand-chopper
Jin -- jail best case -- worst case gangster
Sun -- cheatin on her husband, who my baby daddy?
Richard -- prob fish food
Juliet -- dead, and then dead again
Shannon -- confidence playing whore (Boone was lying!)
Ben -- good question
Adam -- fish good
Aldo -- fish food
Ameilia -- fish food
Greta -- fish food
Goodwin -- fish food
Matthew -- fish food
Mattingly -- fish food
Mikhail -- fish food
Tom -- fish food
Locke -- dood!

some folks died on the island, but they were noble, redemptive deaths -- which for a character in a story is about as good as it gets.


If you're doing something in your self-interest, it's difficult for me to reconcile it if you won't have any memories or awareness of what had transpired. Worse yet: if you're doing it for someone in some alternate universe that isn't even you. What would be the point? DarthCorleone

This is the best part -- Jack the Saviour doesn't even know he saved anybody, so he's just as annoyingly unsatisfied as ever, probably drinking and still ignoring the hot mom from Modern Family. Everybody else suffers while he tries to work out his shit.
