You mean the obit that you could only read if you froze and blew up a frame?
You mean the obit that Jack read and was the reason HE was about to jump off a bridge? Jack knew Locke killed himself. That was all really confusing.
This must be what going mad feels like.

You two are awful snippy this morning. What gives?

Good point! Of course Jack read it!
I didn't think I was being snippy, Cindy (and I didn't take P-C's post as such). Sorry if it came across that way.

I too was not intending to be snippy, just responding in turn.

And then there was the whole thing Richard said to Locke: "You're going to have to die, John." He was going to have to die in order convince the rest to come back. Which also implied that he would have to kill himself. So the fact that John killed himself shouldn't have been a huge surprise to the audience, but I am really baffled as to why it was to Jack, who read the damn obituary (a prop that even that long ago had the name Jeremy Bentham on it). The Lost producers KNOW the fandom screencaps the shit out of everything—hell, they COUNT on it—so I'm really surprised they fucked this up. Maybe Jack didn't believe the obit, but even then, it shouldn't have come as such a big shock since the seed had already been planted.

We have no heat, our furnace guy is in Puerto Rico, and the guy that's covering for him has informed me that we're third on his list. Plus? The kids are home on vacation (but we can't do anything, because we're waiting for the furnace tech), so I probably read in the snippy. I'm sorry about that.
Shouldn't Locke's corpse have looked worse if he died by hanging?

Are we really sure that they came back to the "real world"?
I mean, I don't even think I like that theory, but I just thought about it, and...

Compassionately intolerant
I know I am a quibbler that quibbles but, Jack dives into an unkonwn pool, not knowing the depth, then tells Hurley they can stand in the water. A doctor...unless they've never seen the inside of an ER..is unlikely to risk breaking his neck that way!

Hasn't he been in that pool before? I'm pretty sure that's the pool where all the corpses and wreckage ended up.
