Put them into another govt run program that is being mismanaged.

...Close to the definition of insanity.

How about making Shia admit that he has a penis with a serious face?

I think PG13 didn't exist at the time the first movie was rated.

So the three phases we've seen so far of Jack, off island, in order:

Lying for Kate in Court Jack

Happy Uncle Owen Jack

Drunken mostly suicidal Jack in 'We've gotta get back' mode.

Is his dad's visit what pushes it over? It seems like a key factor in his drinking.

Also, does anybody else get the feeling we'll see the doctor that wrote his prescription again? Something weird there.

But it's probably just going to be parallel events that happened during the attack. Like how his girl's building toppled and what happened there.
Also cool (I guess).

It starts to make sense if Widmore is his 'constant' and that's why he couldn't kill him.

Yeah, I don't like hearing it either. But I dislike even more that we lean on the government to handle it for us.
Its slightly analogous to having the air marshal arrest the guy next to you because his screensaver is a picture of Obama/Bush (you choose).
Is your neighbor on the plane a dickhead? Probably. But deal with it by asking nicely or demanding angerly, not sitting back and having big brother bust him up.

Don't like an airline that allows it? Fly one that doesn't.

Here's a news flash: People are already having conversations on planes. Sometimes tor the length of the flight. Its just with each other.

Who cares if the guy in front of you is on the phone? There are far more annoying things on planes (kids).
