Heh, I've been on the Natter diet for a while. I'm not convinced that Jack's not a doctor, but I'm certainly intrigued.
Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.

[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

After skimming yesterday's Natter, I'd tend to believe you're on the right diet.

Apparently, it's British (and probably Australian, then) to refer to doctors as Mr.
only and specifically hospital consultants in a hospital. if you meet someone with an MD otherwise you'd call them Dr X. If their surname was X. Nation of Islam doctors.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Hey, is our rule for the topic here that Things Said In Interviews Etc. By Lost TPTB are fair game for non-spoilerhood? That's the impression I'm getting, but I want to confirm.

Jack just seems so, I don't know, honest. And he had a surgery story and everything.

Haven't even done that yet. Now you've piqued me.

I thought the default was aired stuff and promos are fair game. Everything else is a spoiler.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I think Jack has had medical training, and probably has an MD, but I think maybe something happened after that point that made him quit/and/or got his medical license taken away.

okay, I'll bite. Why does the notion that they may be in purgatory or something make you react so negatively?
It's a narrative cheat. Like a reset of a show -- the season of Dallas that never happened as soon as Bobby stepped out of the shower.
It's a cheat because it doesn't force the writers to deal with the complexities.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
(No problem, Lee. I edited to hopefully remove any seeming spoilerishness.)
It hadn't occurred to me that Jack might not be a real doctor. A bad one, perhaps. I can't imagine what he could have done that was so bad it sent his dad off on a suicidal road trip to Australia. That looked like a lot of medicine in his hotel room - dad must be either really sick or psychotic.
What if Jack is the surgeon who worked on Locke four years ago and couldn't fix his spine? Okay, long shot, but still. Jack's a spinal surgeon, Locke had a spinal injury.
