Episode 6x16 / Re: Unnecessary Escape...

And Jack basically wanting to commit suicide because of the guilt of leaving those people behind. Now Hurley is expendable? Nope, sorry, doesn't sit well with me.
What? How did you come to the conclusion that Jack was wanting to "commit suicide" due to guilt of the people left behind? Seriously, I have ZERO idea where you got that from.
I think the reference was to when bearded, strung-out Jack was going to jump off the bridge, before he got distracted by having to rescue the people who were in the car crash.Again, the idea that the "entire point of season 5" was to get everyone off the island is false.
Not entirely false -- your examples show that Kate went back to get Claire to bring her back to Aaron, and Sun went back to get Jin and bring him back. I think Jack started out by thinking he had to go back to "rescue" everyone and at that point he thought it probably meant he had to bring them back with him, not that he'd have to do what he ended up doing. Hurley, Sayid, Lapidus, Ben... yeah, not coming back for a rescue so much, I agree.
