"LOST" Retrospect: "Who Ordered the Dharma Initiative Purge?"

Years ago, I had a written an article that speculated on which character from the ABC series, "LOST", was responsible for an incident called "the Dharma Purge". After a few re-watches of the series, I wrote this revision of the ARTICLE.

"LOST" RETROSPECTIVE: "WHO ORDERED THE DHARMA INITIATIVE PURGE?"

Seven years ago, I had written this article about a major incident on the ABC television series, "LOST". This incident happened to focus on the murders or "Purge" of the scientific research organization known as the Dharma Initiative. It happened on December 19, 1992; nearly twelve years before the series began and before the crash of Oceanic Airlines 815 flight.

In the Season Five episode, (5.10) "He's Our You", Oceanic Flight 815 survivor and later, time traveler Sayid Jarrah tried to murder young Ben Linus in 1977. In the following episode, another Oceanic time traveler, Dr. Jack Shephard, refused to treat the badly wounded Ben, who was near death. Eventually, two other time traveling castaways, James "Sawyer" Ford and Kate Austen, had taken Ben to the Others aka the Hostiles aka the Natives, a group of island inhabitants who served as its protectors on the behalf of the main protector Jacob, for treatment via Dr. Juliet Burke's instructions. Within a decade-and-a-half, Ben ended up ousting future billionaire Charles Widmore as leader of the Others.

Ever since the series had first aired, many fans had been uncertain of when Ben's tenure as the Others' leader had began - before or after the Purge. As I had stated earlier, the Purge occurred in December 1992, on the same day as Ben's birthday and during the same month as the Others' rejection of Widmore as their leader. Many fans and television critics had automatically assumed Ben had ordered the Purge. I have heard comments that compared Ben to Adolf Hitler. I have also heard comments that compared Ben’s younger self to a "young Hitler". Many people have claimed that it was Ben who had ordered the deaths of the Dharma Initiative members. However, I have my doubts.

During Seasons Three and Four, Ben had offered contradicting comments on whether or not he had ordered the Dharma Initiative Purge. In (3.23) "Through the Looking Glass", he had claimed responsibility of the Purge to Jack:

"Not so long ago, Jack. I made a decision that took the lives of over forty people in a single day"

Unfortunately, Ben had contradicted this claim in two other episodes. In the Season Three episode, (3.20) "The Man Behind the Curtain", he had said this to Oceanic survivor John Locke, while he displayed the remains of Dharma members at a mass grave:

"This is where I came from, John. These are my people. The Dharma Initiative. They came here seeking harmony, but they couldn't even co-exist with the Island's original inhabitants. And when it became clear that one side had to go, one side had to be purged, I did what I had to do. I was one of the people that was smart enough to make sure that I didn't end up in that ditch. Which makes me considerably smarter than you, John."

Ben never claimed responsibility for ordering the Purge to Locke. He had confessed to participating in the Purge. That same episode made it clear that his participation involved killing his abusive father, Dharma Initiative worker, Roger Linus. In fact, Ben also made the same thing clear in the Season Four episode, (4.11) "Cabin Fever", when he had the following conversation with another Oceanic castaway, Hugo "Hurley" Reyes:

HURLEY: So... This is where you shot Locke and left him for dead, huh? BEN: Yes, Hugo, I was standing right where you are now when I pulled the trigger. Should have realized at the time that it was pointless, but... I really wasn't thinking clearly. [Hurley steps back a little] HURLEY: Is that why you killed all these people, too? BEN: I didn't kill them. HURLEY: Well, if the Others didn't wipe out the Dharma Initiative -- BEN: They did wipe them out, Hugo, but it wasn't my decision. HURLEY: Then whose was it? BEN: Their leader's. HURLEY: But I thought you were their leader. BEN: Not always.

Interesting. He had admitted to trying to kill Locke in "The Man Behind the Curtain". But he denied being the one who had ordered the Purge. Also, Ben had been truthful when he told Hurley that he had not always been the Others' leader. The series had featured three other leaders - the ageless Richard Alpert (who eventually became the future leaders' advisor), Eloise Hawking and Widmore. Although some fans remain convinced that Ben had ordered the Purge, there are a good number of fans who hold Widmore responsible.

Thanks to a flashback in the Season Five episode called (5.12) "Dead Is Dead" - viewers learned that Widmore had definitely been the leader of the Others back in 1988. And in another Season Four episode called (4.09) "The Shape of Things to Come", viewers learned in a flash forward scene set in London that Ben had taken the leadership of the Others away from Widmore:

WIDMORE: I know who you are, boy. What you are. I know that everything you have you took from me. So... Once again I ask you: Why are you here? BEN: I'm here, Charles, to tell you that I'm going to kill your daughter. Penelope, is it? And once she's gone... once she's dead... then you'll understand how I feel. And you'll wish you hadn't changed the rules. [Widmore shifts in his bed.] WIDMORE: You'll never find her. [Ben turns to leave.] WIDMORE: That island's mine, Benjamin. It always was. It will be again.

I found it interesting that Widmore had regarded the island as "his". And there were other aspects of Widmore that I found interesting. The Season Five episode, (5.03) "Jughead", had revealed Widmore as a member of the Others, as far back as 1954 (when he was seventeen years-old). As one of the Others, Widmore (along with Richard and Hawking) had participated in a previous purge - that of U.S. Army personnel, who had brought a hydrogen bomb nicknamed "Jughead" with them to the island. On other occasions, Widmore had this inclination to kill anyone he deemed a threat to the island's secrecy. He killed a fellow Other to prevent the latter from leading Locke, Sawyer and Juliet to Richard's location in 1954. The 1988 flashback from "Dead Is Dead" revealed Ben's refusal to kill Danielle Rousseau and her baby, Alex. Instead, he claimed Alex as his child and threatened Danielle to stay away. This decision had angered Widmore, who had expected Ben to kill both. Why were Danielle and Alex's deaths that important to Widmore? Ironically, Widmore finally got his way regarding Danielle and Alex, thanks to Martin Keamy, the mercenary he had sent to the island to snatch Ben in Season Four.

So, when did Ben Linus replace Charles Widmore as leader of the Others? Before December 19, 1992? Or after? The photograph below from "The Man Behind the Curtain" hints that Ben had remained a worker for the DHARMA Initiative during that period, despite joining the Others sometime in the 1980s:

But had Ben assumed leadership of the Others by then? If not, does that mean Charles Widmore was still leading the Others in December 1992? Both the LOSTPEDIA and the WIKIPEDIA sites claimed that Richard Alpert had led the Others' purge against the Dharma Initiative in 1992. But neither site made it clear who had ordered the Purge. And "Dead Is Dead" never gave a clear date on Widmore's exile.

One would assume my choice for the man responsible for ordering the Purge would be Widmore. And you would be right. There seemed a good deal of evidence making him responsible. He had already participated in an earlier purge back in 1954. Ben had revealed time and again his willingness to use violence - even kill those he deemed a threat to himself or for emotional reasons. But the series had also revealed Widmore's willingness to do the same and especially kill in the name of protecting the island. And that included ordering Ben to kill an emotionally unstable Danielle Rousseau and her infant child. Widmore had also sent the murderous Martin Keamy to the island in late Season Three-Season Four to snatch Ben. He had claimed to Locke in (5.07) "The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham" that he had done so to give Locke the opportunity to become the Others' new leader. Yet, his words to Locke contradicted his words to Ben in London, when he had claimed the island as "his". This scene had occurred nearly a year or more after the events of Season Four.

There is also the matter of whether Keamy had another agenda - namely to kill any of the Oceanic survivors that remained. In "Cabin Fever" he had demanded Sayid reveal the number of other Oceanic survivors and their location. Fortunately, the latter had refused. In a confrontation with the freighter's Captain Gault, Keamy revealed his intentions to "torch" the island. Some claimed that this had been Keamy's angry reaction to his men being attacked by the Smoke Monster. Yet, in (4.08) "Meet Kevin Johnson", Ben had accused the freighter crew of plans to snatch him and kill the island's inhabitants. The only freighter personnel in the room - spiritualist Miles Straume - had remained unusually silent. In the following episode, (4.09) "The Shape of Things to Come", Miles claimed that Keamy and his men were around to serve as security guards for a captured Ben. But there was the revelation that Widmore had set up a false location for the missing Oceanic 815 plane - with a plane wreck and dead bodies included. This is merely an assumption of mine, but I believe Widmore had sent Keamy to not only snatch Ben, but kill the remaining Oceanic survivors as well to maintain the narrative. I found a good deal of clues that led me to suspect Widmore had ordered the Dharma Purge.

After watching the series more than once, I find it increasingly difficult to hold Ben responsible for the Purge. His actions against the Oceanic castaways had featured spying, kidnapping, harassment, threats and manipulation. He rarely resorted to murder - aside from his attempt to kill Locke and his order to kill Sayid, Jin Kwon and Bernard Nader during the events in the Season Three finale, (3.23) "Through the Looking Glass, Part 2". If Ben was truly capable of ordering the Purge, he would have wiped out (or tried) the Oceanic survivors after getting Jack to remove the tumor from his spine. The man had proved incapable of following Widmore's orders to kill Danielle and Alex.

In the end, viewers know that Charles Widmore had been the leader of the Others in 1988-89, when he had ordered Ben Linus to kill Danielle Rosseau and her infant daughter. Viewers know that Ben had refused. Viewers also know that Richard Alpert had led a group of Others in the Purge against the U.S. Army in 1954. He also led the Others' purge against the Dharma Initiative on December 19, 1992. On that same date, Ben killed his father, Roger Linus, in a similar manner – by toxic gas. And viewers know that Ben had eventually replaced Widmore and exiled the latter off the island. Personally, I suspect Widmore had ordered the Purge against Dharma. But I suspect it was an order he had not issued lightly, given the number of years the Others had been in conflict with the Dharma Initiative.

But I cannot say with any authority that Widmore had ordered the Dharma Initiative Purge. If we only knew exactly when Widmore had been exiled, perhaps this mystery of the Purge will finally be cleared.

Top 5 fictional characters who make the WORST decisions? You can pick a specific medium (video games, books, TV shows etc) if the list is too long!

Oh, man, I love so many characters who make bad decisions! This is going to be tricky.

I'm not sure whether your question was 'who are your five favourite characters who make terrible decisions?' or 'of your favourite characters, which five make the worst decisions?', so I'll give you two lists.

Five terrible decision-makers who I love, emphasis on 'who I love':

Sean Diaz from Life Is Strange 2. Look, I cannot blame this kid for going on the run with his nine-year-old brother. He was panicking, the police were coming, and a police officer had just ruined his entire life, so naturally he was unwilling to stick around and encounter more of them. It was a deeply understandable decision, but it was nonetheless a decision that fucked a lot of things up.

Ellie from The Last of Us. I started loving Ellie in the first game, which was before she started making really terrible decisions. But I still love her after her desperate 'if I kill enough people, I'll feel better, right? right???' quest of the second game, and that definitely means she qualifies for this list.

Jack Shephard from Lost. Jack is a grieving, angry, unstable mess who's been thrown into a leadership position when he's barely clinging onto any form of reason with his fingernails. He has a lot of intense feelings, a gigantic saviour complex, poor self-control and no ability to delegate. Everything he does is a) guaranteed to blow up in his face and b) absolutely fascinating to me.

James Sunderland from Silent Hill 2. Look, if your dead wife tells you to come to a town, and then the town is full of monsters, you turn around and leave. I feel like there was another big terrible decision he made too, but I can't - I can't quite remember. That's weird. I wish I had a recording or something to jog my memory.

Light Yagami from Death Note. Light is very smart, but he's also very proud, and he loves using his own intelligence to convince himself that the correct course of action coincidentally happens to be the thing he really wants to do. Yes, if he kills these people in this way, it'll make him look suspicious. But that's what he wants! It's all part of his ingenious plan to catch L, and totally not just because he wants to send L a personal 'fuck you' message. The 'fuck you' is coincidental. This is a very smart move.

Five terrible decision-makers who I love, emphasis on 'terrible decision-makers':

Seifer Almasy from Final Fantasy VIII. One of the first terrible decision-makers I ever developed a fondness for! Seifer, you can't assist an evil sorceress in taking over the world just because you think it's cool and romantic and you really want to show up your rival at school.

WD Gaster from @zarla-s's Undertale fancomic Handplates. Gaster is an expert in doing terrible things while convincing himself that there's definitely, definitely no other course of action. He's awful and I love him.

Chloe Price from Life Is Strange. Chloe is an absolute disaster in a way I find refreshing from a female character. Playing Life Is Strange is a struggle because I want Chloe to like me, but everything she wants me to do is terrible. I don't want to steal money or shoot people or hang up on my distraught friend, Chloe!

Aaaaand Jack Shephard and Light Yagami again. Fascinating characters. I could watch them making ill-advised decisions all day.

Honourable mentions to the other characters who crossed my mind while I was working on these lists:

Mike Munroe from Until Dawn

Lightning 'look, I don't expect punching a god in the face to go well, but I reeeeeally want to punch this god in the face' Farron from Final Fantasy XIII

Jeff Winger from Community

Mondo Owada from Danganronpa

Dr Cox from Scrubs

Keiichi Maebara from Higurashi. I realise there are extenuating circumstances, but murder isn't going to solve your problems! Stop murdering people!

The instant I post this, I'm going to think of twenty other characters I should have mentioned.

"LOST" Retrospect: Issues with (6.12) "Everybody Loves Hugo"

"LOST" RETROSPECT: ISSUES WITH (6.12) "EVERYBODY LOVES HUGO" I just finished a re-watch of the "LOST" Season Six episode, (6.12) "Everybody Loves Hugh". Needless to say . . . I found myself feeling pissed.

There were a few aspects of "Everybody Loves Hugo" that left me scratching my head or feeling slightly annoyed. One, the episode had Jack Shephard claiming responsibility for Juliet Burke’s death. As I had explained in another article, I do not accept this. I believe three people were mainly responsible - Juliet herself, Sayid Jarrah (because he had failed to ensure that the bomb would automatically go off) and especially DHARMA scientist Dr. Stuart Radzinsky. Mind you, I like Season Six. But one of my main frustrations was this narrative that Jack was responsible for Juliet’s death. James "Sawyer" Ford had initially accused Jack. Yet, fans had failed to pay attention to what really happened in the last few Season Five episodes. Come to think of it, so did the Season Six writers and showrunners Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof. No one one had seemed to realize that Sawyer had wrongly accused Jack, because he had needed a scapegoat for his pain. Another aspect of "Everybody Loves Hugo" was Hugo "Hurley" Reyes' decision to use the dynamite from the stranded Black Rock slave ship and destroy the Ajira 316 plane on Hydra Island. Why? To prevent the show's main antagonist, the Man in Black, from leaving the island and endangering the world. Fortunately, the ghost of the late Oceanic survivor Michael Dawson managed to convince Hurley to drop this plan, claiming this act would cause the deaths of many on the island. Unfortunately, former members of the Others - Richard Alpert and Ben Linus, along with Miles Straume and Ilana Verdansky had all insisted upon going ahead with Hurley's original plan. And in the process, Illana accidentally killed herself by mishandling the dynamite. However, instead of using dynamite to destroy the Ajira plane, Hurley decided to lead other Losties - including Jack Shephard and Sun Kwon - to the Man in Black or "fake Locke". Why? Thirteen years have passed since this episode first aired. And to this day, I have no idea why Hurley had made this decision. The episodes writers, along with Lindelof and Cuse have never explained this decision. Or have they? Another aspect of this episode that annoyed me was this second attempt to build up Hurley’s potential romance with the late Oceanic survivor, Libby Smith. How can I put this? I had failed to buy their Season Two romance before Michael had killed her and Ana-Lucia Cortez in (2.20) "Two for the Road". After watching their interactions in this episode's flash forwards, I still cannot see the magic between the pair. What can I say? Jorge Garcia and Cynthia Watros had lacked any screen chemistry whatsoever. Garcia had better chemistry with an actress Marguerite Moreau, who had portrayed Starla, a young woman Hurley had been interested in before leaving Los Angeles in 2004. Also, Hurley and Libby's "romance" barely had a chance to start before her death. I simply could never buy it. But the one incident that really pissed me off in "Everybody Loves Hugo". As I had pointed out earlier, Michael's ghost appeared before Hurley to prevent him from continuing with the plan to blow up the Ajira plan in order to prevent the Man in Black from escaping the island. Michael also informed Hurley that he was a Whisperer - one of the island's ghosts, incapable of moving on. In Michael's case, he was incapable of moving on, because of his killing of Libby and Ana-Lucia. What really annoyed me was Michael’s fate, thanks to the series' showrunners. Why did Michael turn out to be the only one of the Oceanic 815 passengers who became a ghost on that damn island? Why him? Because he had killed Ana-Lucia and Libby? Michael was not the only Oceanic castaway who had committed murder or attempted murder. Nor was he the only castaway who had wronged another castaway. For example: *John Locke had committed a series of acts to prevent his fellow castaways from leaving the island - knocking out Sayid in order to prevent the latter from using a transmitter to get help; blowing up the Others' submarine and most importantly, killing Naomi Dorrit by throwing a machete into her back in order to prevent her from contacting her fellow passengers aboard the Kahuna freighter. Locke had also lied about the circumstances around the doomed Boone Carlyle's injuries, leading Jack to utilize the wrong treatment. *Kate Austen had murdered her biological father, Wayne Jensen, in cold blood after discovering that he was her real father. Kate had claimed she killed him to protect her mother from his abusive behavior and many fans still believe her to this day. But Kate had admitted in the Season Two episode, (2.09) "What Kate Did" that she had murdered him because she could not stand the idea of being related to him. She was having an identity crisis. She had planned a bank robbery that endangered the lives of some people in order to obtain a toy that once belonged to her first love. Kate had BETRAYED Claire Littleon and the Littleton family by pretending to be Aaron Littleton’s mother for selfish reasons. She kept Aaron from his grandmother Carole Littleton for nearly three years. Kate was a child KIDNAPPER. Other castaways who had escaped from the island in the Season Four finale - Jack, Hurley, Sun, Sayid, Frank Lapidus and Desmond Hume had either supported her lies or kept silent. *Jack had tried to murder Locke in the Season Four premiere. He was pissed at the latter for killing Naomi and possibly sabotaging their chances of getting off the island. He had never apologized for the murder attempt. Jack had also supported Sayid's torture of Sawyer in the Season One episode, (1.08) "Confidence Man". Both had erroneously believed that Sawyer had stolen Shannon Rutherford's inhaler without any real evidence to back them. For me, Jack's worst act was supporting Kate's lie about being Aaron Littleton's mother. During the three years off island, he had flipped flopped between keeping his distance from her out of guilt and supporting her lie. But Jack never really made a strong stance on the issue. I take that back. He did. In the end, he tried to help Kate keep Aaron and ensure she would not pay any legal price for the lie. *Sayid Jarrah had murdered a fellow Iraqi soldier in order to help the woman he had recently fallen in love with, Nadia Jazeem, escape from prison and possible execution. He had tortured Sawyer for Shannon's inhalers. But his real reason for torturing Sawyer was that he believed the latter was responsible for knocking him out and destroying the plane's transmitter. He tried to kill Ana-Lucia, who had accidently killed Shannon, believing the latter was an Other. While questioning a captured Ben in (2.14) "One of Them", he nearly killed the latter. Following Nadia's death in Los Angeles, Sayid had agreed to help Ben kill of many of Charles Widmore's men, because he believed the latter was responsible for Nadia's death. Many claimed Ben had manipulated Sayid into becoming his hitman, but Sayid was eager to do so anyway. While in 1977, Sayid tried to murder the twelve-to-thirteen-year-old Ben in order to change history. *Shannon Rutherford tried to murder John Locke for his lies regarding her stepbrother Boone Carlyle’s injuries in late Season One. She had never apologized for her murder attempt. Locke had initially apologized for lying about Boone’s injuries. However, he changed his mind and claimed that the island had demanded Boone’s death as a sacrifice . . . as if that was an excuse. *James "Sawyer" Ford had murdered three people in the space of three months, due to his penchant for resorting to violence to satisfy his anger. He murdered Frank Duckett because he thought the latter was the con man who had cheated his parents out of their money. When he finally met the actual con man, Anthony Cooper (who was Locke’s dad) on the island, Sawyer strangled him to death. Cooper was never really responsible for his parents’ deaths. Sawyer’s father had murdered his mother for her adultery and committed suicide rather than deal with rebuilding his life. Sawyer had murdered one of the Others, Tom Friendly in the Season Three finale, (3.23) "Through the Looking Glass, Part II", claiming he did it in retaliation for Walt Lloyd's kidnapping. But Sawyer had stopped caring about Walt by early Season Two. His real reason for murdering Tom was in retaliation for getting shot on Michael's raft, when the Others took Walt. But Tom had never shot Saywer. One of the Others with Tom had beat Sawyer to the draw and shot the latter in the shoulder, when Sawyer reached for his gun. However, Sawyer solely blamed Tom for what happened on the raft . . . even after he had learned that Ben Linus was Tom’s leader and had ordered Walt Lloyd’s kidnapping. Other castaways and island occupants like Charlie Pace, Ben Linus, Juliet Burke and Ana-Lucia had committed crimes or attempted to commit crimes. Yet, Michael was the only one fated to become a Whisperer on the island because "he could not move on". He could not forgive himself for his actions. Many other major characters had no problems with forgiving themselves or avoiding any kind of remorse. Yet, Michael was the only major character to suffer, despite his remorse. What a fucking joke! I suspect that racism was the real reason why Michael became doomed to be a ghost on that island. I believe that racism had negatively affected the series fans' attitude toward Michael. After learning about Maureen Ryan's book, "Burn It Down: Power, Complicity and a Call For Change in Hollywood", I wonder if Lindelof and Cuse had planned this for Michael after Season Two. Even to this day, many fans - including a lot of YOU TUBE influencers - made excuse after excuse for the crimes of characters like Sawyer and Kate. None of them have ever even bothered to discuss the crimes of the show's other characters - including Jack, Locke and Sayid. But many fans were not only quick to condemn Michael for his crimes in late Season Two, but also condemn him for not being a "perfect father" to Walt. I found the latter condemnation ridiculous, considering that Michael had very little experience as a father around the time of Oceanic 815’s crash. Like many other characters on "LOST", Michael Dawson was very complicated. And I suspect that was a big problem for a lot of the show's fans. Michael was never comic relief like Hurley. Nor was he a bad ass like Mr. Eko or Sayid. He was a complex, ordinary man with his own set of problems. Nor did he automatically turn to Jack or Locke to lead him. He certainly did not turn to them to help him rescue Walt from the Others. Considering that the Oceanic survivors never made any real effort to help him find Walt, except for one irrelevant move by Jack in (2.19) "S.O.S.", I am not surprised. In the end, Michael’s real crime was that he had failed to live up the fans’ expectations on what a non-white male character (especially an African-American) should have been. This disappointment of Michael not adhering to the expected trope of a non-white male character may have led to many fans disliking him. Either Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse had dumped this shitty fate on Michael Dawson in "Everybody Loves Hugo" in attempt to kiss the fandom's collective asses. Or they had allowed their own feelings about the character, actor Harold Perrineau or any alleged racism on their parts to do so.

During my last re-watch of "LOST", I came to the conclusion that many survivors of the Oceanic 815 flight proved to be a murderous bunch:

*Dr. Jack Shephard tried to murder John Locke. Jack refused to treat a badly wounded 12 year-old Ben Linus.

*Kate Austen murdered her father, Wayne Janssen.

*John Locke had lied about Boone Carlyle's injuries, which may have led to the latter's death. Locke tried to murder Other Mikhail Bakunin. Locke murdered Naomi Dorrit.

*Sayid Jarrah murdered his fellow soldier Omar. Sayid tried to murder Ana-Lucia Cortez. Sayid murdered several members of Charles Widmore's organization. Sayid tried to murder a 12 year-old Ben Linus. Sayid murdered Dogen inside the Temple. Sayid murdered Lennon inside the Temple.

*Shannon Rutherford tried to murder Locke.

*Charlie Pace murdered Ethan Rom.

*James "Sawyer" Ford murdered Frank Duckett in Australia. James murdered Anthony Cooper. James murdered Tom Friendly.

*Michael Dawson murdered Ana-Lucia Cortez. Michael murdered Libby Smith.

*Claire Littleton murdered Justin. Claire tried to murder Kate Austen.

*Ana-Lucia Cortez murdered Jason McCormack. Ana-Lucia murdered Goodwin Stanhope, after she started the fight between them. Ana-Lucia nearly attempted to murder Ben Linus.

*Mr. Eko murdered an elderly village man as a child. Eko murdered two drug smugglers.

When one think of the number of murders and attempted murders committed by other major characters like Ben Linus, Juliet Burke, Richard Alpert and Charles Widmore; one might as well label that island Murder, Inc.

@nightwhispcrs (jack shephard)

"Need another coffee, Jack?" Carlisle asked as he filled a paper cup for himself. Not that he was intending on drinking it, but he had to keep up appearances, and no human would be getting through a night shift without a cup of coffee or several. "How have you been finding Dr Goodwin?"

"Lie to them, Jack" (A real short read)

“Lie to them, Jack. If you do it half as well as you lie to yourself, they’ll believe you.” Bam.  John Locke (played by Terry O’Quinn) delivers this line to Matthew Fox’s character, spinal surgeon and perpetual hero and soul-tortured martyr Jack Shephard. Didn’t take me long to tire of Jack, and yet he was one that endured while others I liked more got killed off on LOST. Dr. Responsible seemed…
