Responding to this recent theory reminded me of a question that always comes to my mind whenever I’m reminded of the fact that the producers had originally planned to have Jack die at the end of the very first episode.
Since they clearly had a series-spanning plot outline from the very beginning (not details, but major points), I wonder which character(s) they originally had planned to play some of the parts that Jack’s character now does.
Obviously they also evolve the show and the characters as it progresses, so much of the Jack stuff might not have been a part of the original concept at all, but he’s such a prominent figure that I can’t help but assume that some parts of his story must have been a part of that up front design, and they must (I’m assuming) have had an idea of which character(s) would fit those parts since Jack wasn’t originally supposed to be around.
I am re-watching the first season to search for clues. Noticed that Jack was not with the others on the beach when he awoke from the crash. He was not on the beach but somewhere in the forest. It’s almost as if he wasn’t with them and was somehow transported to that moment from another time and place. Also, Kate just kinda showed up, too, when Jack was trying to sew himself up from a wound in the first episode. I dunno what this means, but it has something to do with Jack saying that he needed to go back to the island in the season finale.
Also, in season one, we see a memory of Sayid’s in which there is a love interest– the girl who was in the Iraqi prison. She is the SAME GIRL in season three who called Charlie a hero when he helped her fend off a thief. I couldn’t believe it, but I’m almost positive it’s the same girl! I’m sure we’ll see more of her in season four.
