    Hate. He just bugs me, the way he takes charge over everyone...everyone feels they have to report to him. And he's just plain annoying. Him and Kate, agh!!

    Ah they dont feel like they have to report to him, they just do it on their own bat. I mean when Kate ran to Jack to tell him about Naomi i nearly threw the remote at the screen.

    Don't tell me you didn't like that moment??!!

    You just don't like a hero, that's it! Or else you wanted someone else to be the hero but Jack was instead and now you're jealous!! :D
    You're spot on actually, I don't like heroes. No wonder I could never really warm to the show of the same name I suppose.

    Now in season 3 everyone just forgets all that he's done because of a few crap flashbacks and cos he's smug? If you were one of the survivors there'd be a name for you - selfish ungrateful bitch!

    Why ungrateful????? What has he done for anyone?

    True. :p

    I still think he'll turn around back into the old Jack that he was....hopefully! And if he does that yis have no reason to complain!

    The old jack was probably more annoying!!!!!

    Eh, you don't have to like someone just because they're good leadership material. Jack is like the Roy Keane or the Chairman Mao of Lost

    Heh. Roy Keane, Chairman Mao, and Jack Shepard all compared in one sentence. Interesting!

    Anyway, I thought that Jack was excellent in Season 1. Things went somewhat awry in Season 2 where I think we were given too many mediocre back-story episodes featuring him. Nevertheless, I think it was clear that they were meant to demonstrate a different side of Jack - one that is uncompromising, and very often wrong. In some ways, I think the above comparison is very good. Being a good leader doesn't necessarily mean that you're a likable person, and it doesn't necessarily mean that you're a good person. Has it occured to some of the people here that maybe you're meant to dislike Jack at this point?

    Hmm this is interesting. If you look at Ben as the leader of the Others, then we see that there is the possibility that he is not a likable person from the view of the people he orders around and we have seen that he is not completely a good person the way he manipulates people and lies. As said above, maybe we are meant to dislike Jack at this stage in the show.
