Heck, considering Jack is already seeing ghosts, we might not have to wait that long. If one of the exec producers is a big Japanese horror fan, we might have our very own Sadako/Samara this season.
Buffy: You tossed that vamp like he was a... little teeny vamp. Riley: You wanna go again? C'mon. I bet this place is just teeming with aerodynamic vampires.

I was fine when existence had no meaning. Meaninglessness in a universe that has no meaning -- that I get. But meaninglessness in a universe with
meaning? What does that mean?
Wow, that is cool, le nubian. I'm getting a little bit of a "Hey, the shirts all have numbers!" Buffy S6 vibe from it, though.
A friend and I were discussing the name thing last week (someone posted a similar analysis at TWoP), and we decided it's probably just a coincidence, as most names derive from religion or nature or mean "power" in some way. Both of us (Amy, "beloved" and Tina, "river") would fit right in on the island. So would Gus ("great"), Sean ("God's gracious gift"), Daniel ("God is my judge") and Beverly ("meadow of beavers" -- hee!). That's not to say I'd rule it out, though -- JJ likes for things to have deeper meanings, and the names probably mean something. I do find it interesting that there are so many J and S names. I hadn't noticed that before.

I wonder if all the Jack/Johns have something to do with the English trickster/traveling hero tradition, where the protagonist is always a Jack. Makes me think of Fables where all Jacks are one Jack.

Pretty much what he said, lib. At the beginning of S6 all the characters were wearing shirts with numbers on them. It was apparently a Random Fashion Statement by the costumers, though it caused a lot of wasted speculation in fandom.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
English trickster/traveling hero tradition, where the protagonist is always a Jack.
I knew a guy who wrote a Jack book along these lines, set in contemporary society, titled Jack Acid.

Deena! Did I know you read Fables ? You are awesome.
I don't think our Jack seems like the Jack the Giant Killer type. Charlie, however, could grow into that role of reluctant adventurer.
