The only good thing I can say about this epi was that it made me go and listen to the U2 track of the same name which I hadn't listened to for ages. U2 song excellent, lost epi DULL.
My point was that I was hoping to see a darker side of Jack, that he had something that would truly shake this image of Jack on a pedastool that the writers like to create. This shiney, squeaky clean image of jack gets on my nerves and I can't sympathise with his past, sorry if that makes me an unsympathetic person, but I don;t see jack having daddy issues and going through a divorce as nearly half as bad as what a lot of the other characters have gone through in their pasts. I was hoping to see osmething that would change my perspective of his character, because like I've said in previous posts, I don;t enjoy disliking Jack's character, but until something fundamentally changes with his character I can't see how that's going to happen.
I didn't love the part where the villagers beat Jack to a pulp because of the tattoo. It makes no sense to me now & I doubt it will be explained before the end of the show.
It wasn't a favorite of mine either, but I understand, or think I do, jack getting beat up by the natives. He's an outsider. Their customs and secret ways of life are not meant for everyone. They're not written down in a book or advertised along the beach. It's like waltzing into someone else's country and treating them like tourists.
Another way: You can go to mexico, you can move to mexico, you can even get citizenship, but you're still not mexican. Or canadien. Or English. Pick a country.
Des' boat was a sailboat, this was definitely a motor boat. Des' boat looked to be around 30 feet, at most... the boat on the horizon was at least 40 feet.
The boat on the horizon looked something like this:
On rewatching, that boat being there sums up LOST. Shouldn't have been there, was sheer carelessness and one more warning sign if it were needed that yes indeedy do it was made up on the fly.
