Apparently the promo people were under the impression that the audience had been clamouring for an answer to the question "Where did Jack get those rad tattoos?"
Yeah. He's my hero.

[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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I think that they wrote a bunch of random things on slips of paper, put them in a hat and drew out the one that said "tattoos" and then wrote this episode.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I was waiting for Isabel to start spouting Vogon poetry at Jack and Ford Juliet.

They've been talking about "revealing the secret behind Jack's tattoos" since season one, if I remember correctly.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
That was the most confusing jerky episode ever. I'm thinking of just telling Mr. Jane it didn't record. Ugh. It's like trying to convince a girlfriend to leave a bad boyfriend with him and this show.

You know, to me, it's not so much that the episode was bad - as that it seems completely unnecessary.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I erased my season pass early last week, but have still been skimming this thread.
This ep's comments are hilarious with absolutely no knowledge of what aired.

I gotta say I enjoyed Jack getting the shit beaten out of him more than I probably should have. Once upon a time, I might have been interested in why (beyond "there are consequences"), but now, nsm.
Also, does this mean we'll get episodes to explain the rest of Jack's tatoos? Dare I dream?
And yet, like with STUDIO 60, I can't seem to stop watching. Luckily, that particular affliction may have just been cured (if the hiatus is permanent as rumored - STUDIO 60, not LOST).

I always thought they were kidding! I mean, did they honestly think anyone cared? (And did they honestly think "Bai Ling did them in Phuket this one time, for some reason" was a good enough answer to be worth framing an hour of television around?)
I think the producers aren't actually letting the promos department see the eps before they have to write the ads.

Our wings are not tired.
Oh my. I haven't watched last week yet so now I have 2 sitting waiting. But my Lost watching and loving GF has asked me a bunch of times if I knew what the tattoos were about. She is going to be so very happy. Will have to watch with her now.
