Dr. Jack Shephard

Dr. Jack Shephard is often seen as the main character of the series. He is a spinal surgeon and the de facto leader of the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815. Jack has control issues and trouble dealing with situations that he cannot fix. However, this attitude of solving problems through reason has given him the ability to function well in crisis. Sometimes, if he feels guilt or pain over a situation he can't fix himself, he will do anything he can to fix it, even borderlining on obsessive. Jack is, most of the time, in control of his life, emotions and situation he is in and is able to keep a cool head in tense situations. Jack is also the half brother of Claire Littleton, although neither of them is aware of this. Jack has formed very strong bonds with Kate and Juliet while he has been on the Island.

Default Many Meanings of LOST

There are many different ways to interpret the meaning of LOST -- many connotations if you will.....

I'm just making observations. I don't know if it has anything to do with anything. I just want to share.

LOST: They are all LOST geographically (that's a "well duh!" statement)

LOST: Many of the Lostaways have lost somebody special/close to them.
Jack: his wife divorced him
Locke: his mom and dad (basically) and "Helen"
Sawyer: mom and dad
Sayid: girlfriend
Anna Lucia: her unborn baby
Eko: his brother
etc. etc. etc.

LOST: Many of the Lostaways are lost emotionally/mentally and/or spiritually
Jack: has to deal with the demons of not living up to high
expectations -- of losing patients, etc.
Locke: getting suckered by is dad
Hurley: thinking the "numbers" are cursed and/or being on the psych
ward
Claire: struggling with what to do with her (then) unborn baby
Charlie: deals with drug problem and has fallen away from church
etc. etc. etc.

I know there are more examples. I had a whole bunch in my brain the other day when I thunk this up and I should have just posted then. But I didn't.

Default meanings

Lost is a great name for the show. There are examples of loss all through it. I think the writers have proven again and again they respect the veiwers I.Q.s and are willing to make this a muti leveled show, full of anagrams, links, duel meanings and connecting themes. That's one reason so many people are hooked.

Wink No meaning to Lost

I think everyone loves this show so, that it has been disected to the point people are seeing things that aren't there (no pun). I think it is just the title of the show.

Hear, hear!! I think there are some underlying meanings and mysteries to
to be solved. But some of these theories - esp. the ones that have Dharma manipulating these passengers lives for the past 30 years and maneuvering
each individual onto the island from thousands of miles away- are just
a little too detailed.

My only hope is that LOST will not refer to a great idea for the shows ending; rather than a slapped together one during its speeded up last season because ABC was to cheap to allow Abrahms to fashion a proper one.

Well, as long as they do not have to use theire Joop the monkey idea. In case of cancellation, use Joop. That is what they said on a podcast.

I like in ROTS, when one of the other Senators gets angry at Jar-Jar. It was pretty.....for a nerd like myself that is.

I think that Joop would be less annoying as Mr.Binks was.
