I believe that nobody else went out to help because they thought that there was only 1 person drowning and Jack was already there to help. It's only when he gets back and he tells them that there's a second person drowning that the group becomes aware. So everyone's actions make sense given the context.

The conversation between Lock and Jack about the white rabbit gets more beautiful each time I watch it.

1:24 There is a shot at the very beginning of episode 1, right after Jack wakes up in the bamboo forest, where there is a white shoe hanging in a tree as Jack runs past.

Knowing how to swim and rushing into the open ocean to save someone are 2 different things 😅

Matthew Fox (Jack) is just so good when his character is hurting, makes you feel all the feelings! Loved this one, and the character discussion after 💕

- I agree what you've said about what Jack's father told him in the flashback when he got into a fight as a kid BUT a parents reaction to that specific situation might change if that keeps happening repetitively. Considering he told Jack "You can't be a hero. You can't save EVERYONE" in his speech hints that Jack frequently finds himself in similar situations trying to save people and maybe hurt himself in the process either physically or emotionally. If that keeps happening you could probably tend to stop encouraging his "helpful" nature and try to lean him towards staying away and protecting himself. - Knowing how to swim and being confident enough to jump into the ocean to save someone is very very different. Even in a pool it's not easy to save another person from drowning and in the ocean it's something much much more difficult. - There could be thousands of reasons why Jack's mother didn't go herself to Australia to bring her husband back. Maybe they weren't getting along at the time and she thought he wouldn't listen to her, maybe she wasn't confortable with searching him at bars, night clubs and stuff (probably slightly risky places) in a foreign country, maybe she had things to do in her own town and couldn't leave them, maybe she had a health condition preventing her from travelling overseas, maybe she thought because Jack doing something caused/triggered him to go Australia and he'll have a higher chance to agree coming back if they talk it out with Jack. You're keeping your attention to details, I like that, and sharing your thoughts is absolutely ok but I'm beginning to think you seem to judge people or situations (in the show, of course) too quickly wthout thinking much. If they're 100% natural reactions, I'm sorry, and of course you're free to share what's on your mind. However, if "feeling obligated to keep saying something in almost every scene for the sake of a better reaction" causing those quick judgemental comments, I'm respectfully warning you that it's not necessary. You don't need to decide your thoughts immediatetly on what you see/hear on the show, especially moral situations or character decisions. You can be "ooh" and keep your silence and share your thought at the end of the episode which are more grounded and well-digested. Plus those quick comments while still the dialogue/scene going on, can make you miss important lines.

The episode had some extremely heavy hints about what Jack's dad's issue was.

This is why I loved the old style of weekly episodes. The theorising and conversations were what made being part of the OG Lost weekly network drops so special...and reactions like this bring me back there.

If you're caught in a riptide, it's best not to try to swim against it because you'll just tire yourself out. A riptide will not pull you under, but if you tire yourself out, you may not have the energy to stay afloat. But you shouldn't just allow it to take you out further from the shore. It's best to swim parallel to the shore. That way, you will be able to swim out of the riptide. Then follow the breaking waves back into shore at an angle. This is advice from NOAA.

This episode explains why Jack was a bit harsh with the memorial thing they did in the last episode. He didn't have the chance to bury his father, so he couldn't move on from everything that happened. And a lot happened between them as in any backstory of any character you will see on the show. I'm not spoiling you, but keep in mind that Lost will give you a tiny piece of information within those flashbacks so you can later put them all in chronological order. It's like a puzzle.

His dad was actually trying to tell Jack that he doesn't have what it takes to let go. His dad let's go by drinking. Jack and us, as well, misinterpret what his dad says.

Locke: I'm not a big believer in... magic. But this place is different. It's special. The others don't wanna talk about it because it scares them, but we all know it, we all feel it. Locke's best line in this series.

I love how you got emotional at "live together, die alone" it becomes a huge theme.

Jack's father definitely gave him a complex, but he was also right. He didn't want his kid to be destroyed by every failure, which he clearly does. But I disagree that he thought jack failed because he cared. I don't think that was his point. Jack doesn't have what it takes to fail and keep going, and that's noble but what father would want his son to endure that kind of pain? Also hope you remember that Charlie says he doesn't swim, not that he can't. A lot of people remember that line wrong, and there's a major difference between those two sentences. I don't think anybody on the beach even realized Boone had already gone out after Johann. Some of them surely didn't even know what was happening, they just saw a crowd and gathered to find out. It would also be unsafe for a bunch of people to swim out near a riptide to save one person or two people, it's so easy to get swept up it'd be putting more and more people in danger. And a group will always defer to the assumed leaders of the pack in those situations. Otherwise chaos ensues.

anyway we can bum this up to 2 a week?

"A leader can't lead, until he knows where he's going". Always loved that line. Live together or die alone! "I hate dolls" she says...sitting in front of a bookshelf FULL of dolls 😂 I know, I know. Not the same. It just cracked me up.

Yes, Rose's husband is Bernard. Good ear this time :)

Uploaded 2 minutes ago? Great timing. Lol. Well, we got the answer to who the mysterious man Jack is seeing is. But we also get more questions.

So happy you are reacting to this series ❤

her about Jack's dad: „hopefully he knows he isn't really there” me: oh sweet summer child. btw good reaction!

I like how WIDE your mouth opens when your reacting to some huge revelation. Its the face you wear when Samara Morgan comes out of the TV to kill you!!! LOL 😂😱

More about the mystery monster ( still not specific info )... The info will appear in bits, one episode here, another there The whole story spans a few seasons

So excited for this!!

His dad gave the best advice in a witst possible way or probably with wrong example..

Thanks, great reaction. Enjoy your outro thoughts/commentary. 🌴😎

So excited for your LOST reactions :)

The producers of the show paid a company to create a show intro like a regular one; fancy music, visuals from the show and actors, along with the acting credits. They didn't really like the results; the company was paid for their work, then the producers went with the flying logo and 5 seconds of dramatic music.

Carmen, are you sure it was Sasha Belov aka Neil Jackson of "Make It or Break It" that youve seen as a background character on "Lost" ? Went looking through IMDb & Wikipedia and in his bios they don't have hi. being in "Lost" and no one fitting the blonde guy description is listed on the Lost Wikia / Lostpedia site under passengers. Sasha Belov ( Neil Jackson )

The passenger we know so far are ...... Jack Kate Sawyer Locke Charlie Claire Hurley Sayid Jin Sun Boone Shannon Michael Walt Rose Bernard Joanna Edward Mars ( Marshall ) Pilot Co Pilot Flight Attendant

'how his dad told him, if he cares, he's failing'. That's not what his dad told him, and it's not what his dad meant. He told him, when you fail, you just don't have what it takes. He didn't tell his son he didn't have what it takes to be successful, he was telling him he doesn't know how to handle failure, and we will all fail. Usually multiple times. As we saw in this very episode, Jack does not handle failure well, at all. And, how do you know his dad is a hallucination?

Lost has a perfectly good reason for Jack to do what he did to his Father. It's just not ready to tell you yet.

I've never clicked so fast

“When you fail, you just don’t have what it takes”. As in to cope with failure. To accept it’s not going to go your way every time. I really don’t get why just about everyone struggles with this. It’s pretty clear. Plus, you can see in just 5 episodes Jack has this complex of “I’ll do it.. me!” Dunno.. people surprise me every day, even after 36 years. I was 17 when this came out and I understood it 😬

23:30 I look at the shelves behind you. 😉
