Yeah, but don't most people hate Jack?
I know they created the part of Hurley just because they liked Jorge Garcia so much. Or at least heavily reworked the character to gear it to him.
Xander: We just saw the zebras mating! Thank you, very exciting... Willow: It was like the Heimlich, with stripes!

I don't think most people hated Jack at the beginning.

I thought he was a somewhat unlikeable character that was very enjoyable to watch back when I was a viewer.

Right. But he wasn't hated at first. I think that by insisting that the show was Jack's show -- Lost made people hate him. (I still don't hate him, as such, but episodes with less Jack tend to be better episodes.)

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I'm in sumi's corner, as nearly always. I can't fault the actor or the way he's acting, they're just not using the character well. Putting all three of Sawyer/Kate/Jack on separate plots and keeping them away from each other for extended periods will keep me watching for a while yet.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Nielsen update: "Heroes" was tenth overall for the week, even with the top three slots being filled by "American Idol."
I don't know what to do with myself when a show I like isn't in constant danger of cancellation.

I know the feeling, Victor. It's weird. It's been years, I think. At least with a show I loved this much. Lost was close with the liking-but-not-in-danger. But VM has worn me out.
And, honestly, it wasn't until recently that I even considered cancellation. I didn't use to follow ratings.

What is even happening?
I like Jack, a lot. I find a lot of people outside of here who like him -- particularly non-interbunny people.

Ever fired your gun in the air and yelled, 'Aaaaaaah?'
I like Jack, too. And I don't like Locke, Sawyer, or Hurley. I feel so alone.

Thank you loyal viewers for watching my show! Still I will not support your AI watching ways. I've never actually watched the show, but clips I see on various news shows make me ill.
I'm fickle about Jack. Liked him, hated him, warming up to him again. I blame the writers.
Wah, I want new Heroes now!
