It's certainly a possibility. As you said, jack was not intended to survive the pilot, or at the least, long after. It was originally going to be Kate who became leader on the island. However, I think that Jack remains important. It looks like he will be the main, misguided character in the 'flashforwards' for the forseeable future, as his pitiful story comes out. Its my opinion that Jacks flashbacks, are likely originated from a different character, one who was going to suurvive and become important, thats all. Ok so a few professions changed here and there, but thats it really. Its easy enough.
So Yea, I think, whilst he wasnt originally, Jack is defiantely a key character now. |
