ADvertising LOST

     This is about one of my favorite t.v shows LOST that i just finished watching up.
In the story of LOST it's all about an island. An island, yes an island, a green island unlike any other. This particular island is not found on maps, is not found in time, and can disappear at it's own free will. The story of LOST starts out with oceanic flight 815 (airplane to Los Angeles from Australia) crash on the island. The first character shown is Jack, a man who is mentally responsible for the death of his father. Jack's dad is in a coffin and Jack is bringing him back from Australia to L.A to have a funeral. Jack is a surgeon and has a huge sense for rescuing people.
     Ever since Jack was born he had always tried to be a hero by protecting anyone and everyone from anything trying to hurt them. Jack never gives up no matter how hard it may be and he doesn't even care about himself when it comes to saving others. Jack's father despises this way of Jack. He always tells him that he is not "the one," and he should focus on doing what's best for himself. In short, Jack's father says that Jack's weakness is that he is too nice. (Don't get me wrong Jack's dad is in my opinion is nice, but you never find out in the story of LOST, because of his "dead imaginary dad") Jack hates his dad, he absolutely hates him but loves him at the same time. He doesn't understand what his dad tries to for him and goes insane trying to find out. Jack's misunderstanding for his father's love leads his dad to Australia and his death.
     In my opinion Jack's character is the best. I love how he cares about everyone and this makes him a great leader. for example, In the first season of LOST Jack stays up for a week 24/7 without any rest just because he's looking after a patient who had an accident form the plane crash. (He starts to go insane but he refuses to believe it and starts seeing his dad disappearing into the jungle and he follows him. He keeps chasing after his imaginary dad (even though he isn't imaginary but he's dead [watch lost to find out more!!!!!]) until he doesn't see him anymore. He then finds himself standing right in front of his dad's coffin.)
     Jack's character does have some weak points though, but that's to be continued :P
