Stupid Jack
Thinking there was nothing special about the island, despite seeing a smoke monster, the sky turning purple, his dad in ghost form (or maybe the MiB in Christian form), etc., etc., Then after all that, he gets back home, and decides it’s best to go back…Sheesh.

So much for being a man of faith.
Follow me on Twitter: @brandonrifkin
He wasn't on a mission though
The man in black/Locke told Richard that Locke would be appearing in a few minutes through the brush, and Richard needed to tell him he had to leave the island and die. It was the only way the MiB/Locke could keep that form.

Hmm, maybe my memory's a little hazy.
Wasn’t that actually Locke that talked to Alpert in the jungle? I thought Locke was time traveling at that point (before he turned the wheel and ended up in Tunisia with a compound fracture). MIB couldn’t be Locke until Locke was dead.
Where am I off?
Follow me on Twitter: @brandonrifkin
you're not, and this is correct.
mib didnt take lockes form until they were BACK on the island and Locke was in the coffin, people just assumed he’d come back to life.

I think Kate is just stupid, and is trying to shack up with Sawyer

Some people are into lost for the mystic aspects, some are in it for the story/characters. I’m more with the latter. I expect some legitimate closure for the LOSTies. And I’ll be perfectly happy with it. Any SciFi elements explained along the way are just gravy.

We have about four catchers
in the system that are close to being MLB backups now. From Robinson, Chirinos, Castillo, and Clevinger, all float between almost acceptable bats to reasonably acceptable gloves. Clevinger is the better defender.
Castillo the best bat?
He’s got some pop, right?

they all are kinda close. And Brenly is similar, if that makes it any more confusing.

Thanks for the info
