Re: Bad things happen on the island?
Is it Jack's fault , or Jack's responsibility ? I can't help but think that if Christian is the Island's right-hand-man (we see him more than Jacob, eh?) then Jack is most certainly the heir to the throne, no? I guess this could mean that Locke isn't the true leader and, as per all his flashbacks, h...
