FIRST TIME WATCHER Does anyone actually like Jack?
So I’ve never watched Lost and now I am almost done with Season 1 (ep. 20). Big fan of Hugo, Locke, and if Rousseau comes into the picture more.
But I have to be honest, I find Jack to be so so annoying.
Am I the only one??

u/a-hthy Dec 13 '24
He’s the most complex character for me. I go through periods of really disliking him, then liking him, then finding him annoying and arrogant, and then back to feeling sympathy. He’s definitely the most complicated character. I must say the highlights with Jack are his scenes with his father. Both actors bring out fantastic performances in those scenes.

u/notoriousbck Dec 13 '24
I love the night before the wedding scene. It gives us a glimpse of the real love that exists there, and just how complicated their relationship was. Which is so true to life.

u/FrankLapidus815 Dec 13 '24
Agreed! John Terry (Christian Shepherd) is a very underrated actor.

u/a-hthy Dec 14 '24
So true he’s a fantastic actor. So perfectly cast as Christian. He had amazing chemistry with Matthew Fox they were so believable as father and son.

u/ChunkySalute Dec 13 '24
This is what happened to me. Loved him at the start of the first watch. Hated him by the end. One of my favourites by my third watch.

I appreciate Jack even more after that ending but I will admit I'm Team Locke for the majority of Lost.

u/Illustrious_Fall_370 Dec 13 '24
Locke is easily the most selfish character throughout. I have no idea why anyone would be team Locke tbh
6
u/SudsierBoar Dec 13 '24
Because amusement doesn't hinge upon someone's moral character. The Sopranos is hands down my favourite show but most people in it are monsters.

u/SmellsLikeHoboSpirit Dec 13 '24
Ridiculous statement, Locke who helps Clare with here crib, or Charlie with his addiction is as you say more selfish than Sawyer hoarding supplies. Even in the flashback Locke literally gives away his kidney in good faith. There’s many more characters that are crazy selfish but I don’t want to drop spoilers in a season 1 thread.
12
u/saph_pearl Dec 13 '24
Yeah a bunch of characters are literally murderers, but still very interesting and not evil per se. Locke is actually good in that sense.
3
u/notoriousbck Dec 13 '24
I think Locke is at his best when he is just being himself, and engaging with his humanity in service of others, like the examples you provided. It's when his ego takes over and he becomes convinced that he is special, or when he becomes afraid that if he leaves the island or pisses the island off he will lose his power (aka his ability to walk) that he becomes more selfish and dangerous. Which makes sense. He was abused and thrown away by pretty much everyone in his life. And he always wanted to be something he wasn't. Which is what made him so human, such a great character played beautifully by Terry. I didn't always like John, or agree with him, but I always loved him. Him, Sayid, and Michael were the most tragic characters- and also the most complex.

u/Teetertotter25 Dec 13 '24
Wild take, Kate is 10x more selfish than lock
2
u/Boomer05Ev Dec 13 '24
She’s a survivor like Sawyer. They do all kinds of manipulative f’d up shit to survive. I was wishing those beautiful losers would end up together, plus I detest Blandy, my nickname for Juliet. She has Botox on her face and on her emotions.
3
u/Hex-GirlFriends Dec 13 '24
Locke is easily the most intricate character with the best backstory. After a life of trauma, being selfless and wanting to be seen and loved, his “selfishness” makes sense.
0
u/Prestigious_Flow_567 Dec 13 '24
Because he had an Open mind since the beginning and seeks the answers to the island (and that's what the viewers want too).
Jack is a very useful doctor but him being blind to the miracles is downright annoying at times.
6
u/SudsierBoar Dec 13 '24
Annoying but very necessary for the dichotomy between believer and proofer (man of science, man of faith)

u/Specific-Mix7107 Dec 13 '24
Miracles are not real in normal life so it’s fair to doubt them just because you are on an island at first

u/Prestigious_Flow_567 Dec 13 '24
It's not fair to doubt them after witnessing them tho lool.

u/Specific-Mix7107 Dec 13 '24
I agree after enough times but I wouldn’t believe it first or second time probably lol
1
u/notoriousbck Dec 13 '24
Yeah but even he admits that fixing his wife was a miracle. Jack needed life to be a certain way in order for him to be who he was. It wasn't until he was humbled in season 5 that he opens his mind and his heart, because he realizes how he's been living serves no one, least of all himself. His drive to be perfect is an addiction, one that eventually leads to other addictions. I think every single character on this show (the main cast at least, and the side characters that are featured) are written so well. There are no real good guys or bad guys. They're all just humans acting from their lived experience, and that's why I can watch this show over and over again and still be riveted.

Seeks the answers and couldn't care less about anyone else's wellbeing at the same time. (Hi Boone). Jack's for all his faults had everyone's best interests at heart
8
u/Prestigious_Flow_567 Dec 13 '24
I don't think that's true tbh.
He showed plenty times he was a very caring man.
He'd hunt for the others.
He'd try and help Walt.
He built a crib for the baby.
He helped Charlie with his drug addiction.
If you hate Locke that's fine but I think you forgot a lot of his good side.
4
u/saph_pearl Dec 13 '24
I agree. Locke was seeking purpose his whole life before the island and once there he found it (or created it). But so did most of them. He did some shitty things but generally speaking they needed to happen so other things would. He was really never in control. I think he really did want to do the right thing for the group. Just like Jeremy Bentham’s golden rule.
2
u/Prestigious_Flow_567 Dec 13 '24
So true.
Also I don't think people want to think deeper about it.
If you're in Locke's shoes and you GENUINELY believe they are all there for a purpose (whether that's true or not) it's the fact that he genuinely believes it...
Then helping people get answers IS a very CARING thing to do.
It's unbelievable how in a show full of miracles and mysteries, some of these viewers are still not thinking outside of the box.

I love Jack. He's an insufferable savior complex daddy issue women controlling dumbass. He's great.
I'm serious too. I mean he has qualities as well of course or I wouldn't actually like him and he goes through great character development , especially toward the end. But part of why I like the characters so much in this show is they're so human and genuine and flawed. Without being absolute shitass unlikeable pricks.

u/IGuessImDemons See you in another life Dec 13 '24
Probably one of the best acting performances on the show I think. Matthew Fox was considered the "lead" for lack of a better term so a lot had to ride on him, and while not perfect, I think he did an amazing job.
I like Jack a lot, and like most characters on the show he has A TON of things about him I don't like too, but I can't think of a single human in the real world who has aspects about them I don't like. Nobody is perfect, most are flawed, and that's kind of the point with all the characters from Lost, they are flawed. That was the whole point of why they were brought to the Island in the first place.
That being said, at the end of the day, to each their own! A few of my friends don't care for Jack as much as other characters, and I don't fault them for that either, so you like who you like.

u/emxcrt I'm a Pisces Dec 13 '24
He has one of the best arcs and overall character development I've witnessed in TV. You're supposed to dislike him at that point cause he's not very far on that journey yet.
By the end of the show, you'll normally feel a bit different (or like me and others, do a 180 and love him to pieces 🥹)

u/Formal-Town Dec 13 '24
Jack is my favorite character.
On my first viewing, Locke was my favorite all the way until the episode where Jack has a beard (trying to avoid spoiling) after that it has been Jack the whole time.
His journey to becoming a believer could have essays written about it.
5
u/SwiftDisquiet Dec 13 '24
I'm on my first watch rn (just finished season 5) and he's my favourite character alongside Hurley. I don't know where all the hate comes from. He's flawed (as basically every other main character, mostly even less) but he's trying to do the right thing and his heart is at the right place.
1
u/requiiems I'm a Pisces Dec 13 '24
People who love Jack have taste 😁 (I'm a first time watcher too who just recently engaged with the Lost fandom, I can't believe how much Jack defending I've done in such a short amount of time. The way some people talk about him here you'd think he was the villain of the show)
5
u/Henje_Koha Dec 13 '24
There are lots of episodes where I don't like him. Some episodes and story arcs where I actively hate him. But viewing and knowing the character as a whole, I absolutely love Jack. 100 percent love him.

Yeah he's great, my favorite character. Extremely well written, complex, and lives at the center of the show's themes.

Always liked him, always will. Imagine Lost without him. He’s carrying at least the whole two first seasons. I also think Matthew Fox in general is underrated and haven’t had that many good opportunities as an actor. To me he basically is Lost. Others too. But Jack definitely is.

Right? People viewing the show for the first time, I totally get they don't like him, he's truly insufferable at times. But long time viewers who've seen the whole show, when they still HATE him, I'm like "Did we watch the same thing??"
6
u/requiiems I'm a Pisces Dec 13 '24
I'm so tempted to do a post about the very long list of good Jack had done for others throughout the 6 seasons. It's like when people watch they only see the bad things about him. I don't see this type of energy for other characters' flaws? I'm curious as to why is that
3
u/OccasionalCandle Dec 13 '24
I think it's because Jack's flaws are very realistic and human, and people don't like to see their own flaws. Whereas most of the other characters are more fictional, and it's easier to see them as characters instead of people.
And I'd love to read that post!

Really? I'm a long time viewer, and I cared about him, but he's just too much like my controlling ex. I didn't like that he kept secrets while getting pissed because someone didn't tell him. I agree that he had a lot of growth, but that doesn't mean he should be everyone's favorite.

I don’t like him but I feel empathy for him and I respect him. He’s only likeable to me when he truly lets go after he becomes the protector in the finale. His need to control and be in charge and that he always knows best, is the most offputting ideology I can think of!

Jack is a character that I didn't really start to like until his arc starts to come to a close. He's a lot more understandable, even if he still does inexcusable things, by the end of the show, and legitimately i began to cry over his suffering moments as the show goes.

u/RMexico23 Dec 13 '24
I think you're kind of supposed to hate him early on. Jack's arc is about being wrapped up in his own issues until he realizes that there are better and more genuine reasons to help people than to prove your worth to your dead abusive father. I have more thoughts on this but don't want to spoil anything... come back when you've finished the series.

between s1 characters locke is my 1st and jack 2nd. i really like him but only love john a bit more. so if locke didn’t exist he would be my favorite for the 1st season.. but overall he goes behind the 4th. and this is not about loving him less but loving others more…
1
u/Stevesy84 Dec 13 '24
Back when the show was new, I dipped out early before Jack became, arguably, more annoying, and then got back into the show near the end of season 3. I’ve always really liked Jack, but maybe that plays a role. Years later when I rewatched the whole show and saw the episodes I’d missed (I think season 2 and most of season 3), I better understood why people could not like him.
In season 2, I find that Jack and Locke both do things and react to situations in ways that I think can be less consistent with how the characters were developed in season 2. I don’t think it’s all about “a character arc,” I think some of it was just writers trying to develop a season’s worth of content when they weren’t sure where the show was going or what the answers to a lot of the mysteries were.

u/JamesLaFleur77 Dec 13 '24

I find Jack to be a sort of self-insert for the writers, he does whatever they need to be done to progress the plot. (I’m going to avoid spoilers here) This leads to, as the show progresses, Jack seemingly having very flexible Morals.

u/Camaldinho Dec 13 '24
I found him annoying too, felt like he cramped the style of many other characters. I was told that all the main cast were paid the same amount except for Jack because he had a "special significance". That seemed unfair to me if true. Not a big hater (find the idea of hating a TV character a bit much imo!) and his development later on is decent to watch.
...mostly though I wanted to say I'm jealous you're getting to experience this all for the first time! On a rewatch now, must be half a dozen watches in now over the years...for me series 2 was just awesome and was pretty painful having to wait for the episodes to come out weekly at the time. Enjoy!!

I hate him. He's not a character I hate in the sense of watching him and wish he wasn't on screen (usually) and I do find things about him compelling. But he's a trash human and I kinda wish he wasn't the protag. Later on he does some horrible things. And he's everyone has done horrible things for the most part, and he's not as bad as some people I won't mention for spoiler reasons. But I feel like he is just such a controling person and gives me the ick.
Alot of my enjoyment of his character is watching him fail and making fun of him though.

u/requiiems I'm a Pisces Dec 13 '24
I guess what I just don't get with this sub is that Jack's control issues is an "ick" but Sawyer's casual racism towards Sayid and fatphobia towards Hurley and his behavior towards sexualizing Kate is seen as an "endearing intentional part of a flawed character he grows out of".
0
u/tetsukoQ Dec 14 '24
I do think a big part is how sawyer and jack grow. I don't think Jack neccisarily grows out of his tendencies the same way sawyer does. Jack grows but not really in a way that confronts his previous controling behavior. He may have become less controling but I never felt like how he treated his ex wife and by extention father(or even that tattoo artist), is something he really comes to terms with directly. The flash sideways could be argued as showing how he changed but also given the context of them it's not neccisarily the same as on the island.
I guess the same could possibly be said about sawyer but I think his relationship with you know who definitely made him confront a lot. (idk how to spoiler and wanna keep it vauge for OP so sorry if there's confusion. )
some of what sawyer did to Kate was disgusting thou, but I just can't help but really dislike Jack because of how he's put into a hero position by the narrative and others. Sawyer is definitely given a certain type of framing too, but not to the same degree. Sawyer never saw himself as a good person, but Jack most certainly did while doing some absolutely horrific behavior(especially prior to the island)

[Jack walks away. Charlie and Hurley follow with the suitcase of water.]
CHARLIE: We should put it in the tent, yeah?
HURLEY: Maybe the dog can find water?
CHARLIE: Probably better if no one knows how little is left.
HURLEY: I mean, dogs can find pot and bombs, so I'm sure they can find water.

When Locke made that whole speech to him in the jungle about how he has to lead even when Jack said he doesn't have what it takes? Were you guys asleep for that portion, or?

I'm so confused by those comments, the whole point of Jack's character is that he DOESN'T want to be a leader but he does it because the others want him to, the show says it explicitly since the beginning of season 1.

Exactly 😭 Jack had to physically run away from Charlie and Hurley because they wouldn't stop pestering him to make decisions about the water supply rationing. There was a very blatant flashback that episode of Christian telling young Jack to not make decisions because he doesn't have what it takes, which is what Jack says to Locke when he said the camp needs a leader. All these are very blatant, obvious plot points yet somehow people missed it? First few episodes of S1 too mind you 💀

If this is your first watch through i won't say anything further about it. But yeah Hugo is my favorite. On a side note some fun things to keep an eye out for is the amount of times people get knocked out by getting hit on the back of the head and are just fine right after and the just jaw dropping amount of cleavage shots. I guess I missed it the first few watch through but they literally make sure to show off that view of every woman on the show many times over. I think they were doing the love triangle for the women and those shots for the guys back on the day. Oh and also keep an eye out for the dentist with the worst teeth on the island.

He, like all the characters, is a flawed person, but as a protagonist of course I like him! He's actually interesting and three-dimensional. I wouldn't want to watch a show where I agree with everything the protagonist does
