shipperxFive minutes in and bad signs for things to come:
* Jack has said "I" five times in one minute. "I-- " "I--" "I--" Because, you know, Jack is in charge of everything. It's alll up to him. Poor woobie carries the world on his big, broad SuperDoctor shoulders because it's all up to him. Control freak. Does he think he's Greenlee Smythe from All My Children? (I can't stand GreenME-of-eternal-narcissitic egocentrism either).
* Jack in peril. Ooh, I'm skeered... except for the fact that we know nothing will happen to him. Duh!
* It's a Jack flashback episode.
* Worse! Jack/Kate post island flash-forward! Traditionally the only things worse than Jack episodes (remember that crapass episode about his TATTOO?!) are Kate episodes. So a Jack/Kate episode has the potential to be a vortex of suck.
There had better be some smoke monster action, dead redshirts, and time anomalies in the offing to make this worthwhile.
(And now he's doing a Chris from Northern Exposure impression and it's... kinda discombobulating. I loved Chris while Jack makes me kinda nuts with aggravation.)
ETA: Aw, geez. Have my eyes rolled back in my head? Tell me they are not doing super-hero Jack having an appendectomy without anesthesia. Psst! Hey Lost, it would be far more impressive if I hadn't watched John Adams' daughter have a mastectomy without anesthesia last week or watched the Doc explore Al Swearengen's 'taint' searching for a kidney stone on Deadwood. That was hard core. Hell, it was HBO. And those show's took place before anesthesia existed. This is just melodramatic overkill. Jesus, they managed anesthesia for Ben's surgery, but for Jack, nooooooo. Whatever, Lost.
ETA II: And this is why Juliet will always be more interesting than "I desperately need your approval" Kate. Kate can be such a needy spineless wimp around Jack.
ETA III Well, it sounds like Sawyer isn't dead... yet.
ETA IV: So what the hell happened to Claire? (Well, at least one interesting thing happened.)
Conclusion: Worst. Episode. Of. The. Year. Which is still a pretty darn good batting average given the number of great eps they've had thus far. Still, that's an hour of my life that I'll never get back.
