Is it us or does it seem like everybody on the island is ready to call it a day at this point?
Let's start with Jack:
Dr. Shepard wants to pick up where Daniel Faraday (R.I.P Twitchy) left off, undoing the last three years of all of their lives by detonating a hydrogen bomb. Obviously, we don't think Jack will be successful. There are too many forces working against him: The Dharma Intiative, The Basic Laws of Time Travel (as set forth by the Lost writers), and Kate.
Jack seems surpised when Kate doesn't want to retroactively nix all the island drama. Does he not remember that little Miss Daddy Killer was on her way to county lock-up when the plane crashed way back when? She also would never have met the child she now calls her son. So without the island, Kate would've been babyless on a chain gang. I'd stay on the isle too. Eat a mango. Kick it on the beach. Hang with the polar bears. At least the bears don't care if you drop the soap. Shit, there is no soap. Sounds like a good, if stinky, life.
But, Jack's not into it. And he's not the only one who wants to bail on the island vacay. Sawyer and Juliet want to jump ship too. Since Hugo, Kate, Sayid, and Jack showed up in 1977, the happy couple has been involved in some shady dealings. When they're finally caught by the Dharma people, Sawyer is pistol-whipped into a bloody pulp. He tells the rag-tag Dharma interrogation team that he'll tell all if he and Juliet can leave the island. So Sawyer and Juliet board the submarine and for one sweet moment it seems as though they might sail away to a normal life without Dharma, without the island. Then who should happen to pop in on their little reverie?
Kate. Of course. And of course she'll ruin it. She'll make them go back to the island and stop Jack. She'll woo Sawyer back into her homicidal arms. Dammit Kate! Pick a man and stick with him. (Team Juliet For Life!)
While Kate is busy homewrecking in 1977, John "Crazy Eyes" Locke is up to his old tricks in the present day. Locke is on his way to pull back the island's curtain and kill the man behind it. Jacob! Yes. We can't wait to meet the wizard . . . But, we're confused. Doesn't John love Jacob? Doesn't he want to obey all of Jacob's wishes, orders, and whims so that he and the island can be together forever and ever until the end of time?
Why is everybody trying to change the game?
