Since D&C said that Lost is a mosic and the pieces are made up of who the losties were before the crash, on the island and in the future..
That I think is a big clue after last nights episode to put together, and since we have 9 months until new Lost what is it going to hurt.. hehe

Jack before the crash was strong, he did the right thing but had made his mistakes as well. He doubted himself too much.. On the Island he was made the leader of the Losties and stepped up to the plate.. In last nights episode if those are infact the forward flashes then he becomes a depressed, drug abusing alcoholic who can't let go of the past.. What would his future be on the island if they are not rescued????

I think Jack was a mess before he crashed. He couldn't move past an unsuccessful relationship, couldn't deal with his daddy issues. Yes, he was strong, and compassionate as a doctor but his flaws were undoing his potential. The island removed all that baggage, his strengths were allowed to grow stronger. He flourished in the rebirth that the island offered. All the losties had the same opportunity, just as Locke once told Charlie I think.....this is our chance to start over clean. Once Jack goes back to the real world, he mourns the loss of his island family and the best part of himself.......then he becomes his own father.

To answer the question about Jacks future staying on the island.... I think he would have opportunity to grow and change for the positive. (redemption, getting rid of baggage) He has a strong functioning family that gives him what he needs. He is fulfilled as a person.

Beautifuly put Frogmeister!

this is so true. It's kind of like going to a different school. or going to college... no one there knows who you are. You can re-invent yourself. But I think Jack lives with too much guilt.

The Flashbacks were the events on the island. and the present was Bearded Jack after the island. We all thought it was the other way around until KATE...

they flipped the switch on us at the end.
