I was trying to crystallize my thoughts on Jack and the Island and was having no luck when I came across this. It crystallized my thoughts perfectly.
Quote:
The island obviously wants Jack back. Like Rose pointed out, it's no coincidence that Jack came down with crippling appendicitis when rescue was on the way. It didn't want him to leave, and the instant he did leave, it haunted him with visions of his dead father. It eventually broke Jack down until he got to the point that we saw him at in the season 3 finale.
The island also seems to want Hurley back, which explains why Charlie is haunting him. But what about the rest of the Oceanic 6? Sayid, Kate, Aaron and Sun have their problems, but they don't appear to have dead people following them around everywhere. What makes them different? Why did the island let them go?
