I love this show, and although I've never been a fan of either Jack or Kate, I still can't believe that everyone agreed that it was worth it to blow up an entire island -- one with incredible, scientifically and anthropologically unique characteristics, not to mention PEOPLE living on it -- just because things didn't work out between Kate and him! What does Jack know about the effects of igniting a hydrogen bomb in a highly electromagnetically-charged field (and/or giant time machine) anyway? He didn't even know how the bomb worked until Sayid explained it to him. He's a doctor, not a quantum physicist, darn it!
Why did Sawyer even let Jack get away with it? Like Sawyer said, the past is in the past. Did Sawyer really want to get rid of blondie after all? Jack wasn't going to undo anything that already happened in the past or in the future. Furthermore, SOME good things did result from the Oceanic crash: Rose's cancer is gone, John can walk again, Sawyer was a productive member of society, that Aisan guy got to meet his father and find out why he really sent his mother and him away, Mr. Eco made peace with his brother, Jack got to meet the sister and nephew he never knew, the rocker kicked his heroin addiction, Hurley almost lost some weight, and the list goes on... Jack gets on my nerves with his self-righteous whining. What's so great about Kate's little sneaky behind anyway? How much therapy do you need to know that a nuclear strike is not the answer to a bad break-up? I just had to get that off my chest. (And Jacob, darling, the island's been vaporized, so I don't think anybody's coming.) Angela
