I don't think most people hated Jack at the beginning.
Doesn't matter that we took him off that boat, Shepherd, it's the place he's going to live from now on.

[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the show and ancillary materials such as web comics! 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. Chuffa, Chuffa!

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.)

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
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!

Liked Jack the first season, until the writers broke their promise to answer questions, and I took it much harder than I should have and stopped watching altogether. It's kind of nice, because my Jack like never moved to Jack hate, and I can enjoy the pretty in promos.
