Locke is not a practical guy. I mean, despite the practical skills. He's a believer, and he needed to get John to drink the Kool Aid. I think he'd rather have died than have things go wrong. And by wrong, I mean against destiny.
My brain keeps trying to map this to
Serenity.
It hurts.
Did anyone else get the impression that Jack had his moment of faith (and believing in the impossible) with his wife's recovery, and for some reason lost it, probably when she left him?
Kathy, that's possible. I definitely want to know more now about their story. But I think that Desmond bringing her up is what made Jack change his mind and go back to the hatch.
Speaking of which, I got interrupted by a phone call just as Jack caught up with Desmond. Can somebody recap their conversation for me? I missed the whole thing?
We don't know for sure if Jack's wife left him or died, correct? Or that maybe
he
left
her?
I'm also dying to know if anyone spotted anything or anyone familiar in that training film.

Eh. I'll bet she was pregnant and died because of another car wreck. Possibly due to a mistake by a surgeon. Or a glowy red ball.

J: What are you running from?
D: Hey, I remember you. What happened to the girl?
J: It doesn't matter.
(repeat)
J: I married her.
D: But you're not married anymore.
There was more, but really nothing new.
D: But you're not married anymore.
Unspoken: Let's make out!

Desmond: OMG you're the guy I met running that one time!
Jack: ...
Desmond: So how'd things work out with that girl? You know, the one you failed?
Jack: ...
Desmond: Because for some reason I remember every detail of the conversation we had several years ago. The suspense has been KILLING ME.
Jack: I MARRIED HER!!!
t almost cries
Desmond: Oh. And now...you're NOT married to her?
Jack:
t is stoic and unresponsive
That's why it had to be unspoken.
