The repeated knock against the chest is actually called "precordial thump". It's an accepted medical procedure for kick-starting the heart when a defibrillator is not available. Jack went on longer than others may have in the circumstances and was definitely not giving up.
Dude, I knew what he was doing, but I felt there was a moment there before the last thump where he stopped, and we all felt it was finally over, than Jack thumped him again, and Charlie revived.
I'll rewatch, but I'm certain he actually stopped for a breath or a beat, or something I can't define without rewatching the scene.
Also when Kate was condescending to console Shannon and she goes, "If there's anyone your brother is safe with, it's Locke", I totally expected Shannon to say, "He's not my brother".
Whereas I replied, "Unless he's evil and has a knife."
Speaking of Dude, I want Hurley's (Hugo!) backstory, dammit.
move along...nothing to see.
just me totally screwing up my post.
doh!
Here we go....
Nice opening. Echoes of The Two Towers.
Ha! You just wait, Sean. You just wait.

Okay, rewatched. he let Kate draw him away, then totally refused to stop and said "No!" and went back and started thumping a few more times and Charlie revived.
Heh. Not idly do the leaves of Lorien fall....
SHIT! I was distracted when Kate was confessing "something real." Did she say what it was that she did?
I can't rewind until after West Wing.
