Jack's alcoholism
Posted: Fri Mar 05, 2010 3:06 am
i am re-watching old episodes (season 1). in your podcast, i think claude mentioned that they didn't touch on jacks alcohol "withdrawals" at all in season 1. i just finished the pilot, and in addition to the exchange with cindy, he also, in the scene where kate is stitching him up, gives her an airplane bottle to disinfect, but tells her to save some for him. so, they did, at one point mention it. i'll report back if there is any other reference to it.
alcohol withdrawals, mostly consisting of shaking, irritability, anxiety, depression, etc. are much more minor than those of heroin, at least, as i have found in my experiences as an irish-american, and having watched that scene in trainspotting, and the part where charlie has withdrawals on lost.
ALSO: in the pilot, jack tells kate that he went to pilot school for a while, but it wasn't for him. will this play a role in the flash-sideways?
