Jack and kate alone once defeated Smokey(Locke was there too but was kinda on Smokeys side) in a tug of war for Locke....not a big stretch to imagine 5 well trained mercs couldn't survive his fury.

I'm guessing yes. They confirmed that Jack's dad was Claire's dad. I wonder if the reason Jack didn't want to see Aaron is because he reminds him of his sister. I thought Clarie was going to be found dead at the end. But we don't even know if she died. But we do know Sawyer choose to stay behind. I wonder if Jin did too.

Excellent! We know that Jack mentioned during the trial that there were originaly 8 members of Oceanic that survived the crash.....Since we know that Sawyer chose to stay that means he could have come home. Ok, what do all of the people who we know had a choice in whether they stayed or left the Island have in common? Sayid, Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Hurley, and Sun(Aaron most likely did not choose to leave the Island since he's just a baby).

Give up?

Every one of them was far away from the Swan Hatch when it imploded and turned the sky purple

The only other Lostie who was far from the Hatch at this time was Jin...whether or not he had a choice in leaving or not remains to be seen....but if my theory here is correct he was the only other person who had a choice.

Now wait a sec you might be saying. "Aaron wasn't far away when it blew"

Precisely.....I don't think they were supposed to take Aaron away from the Island and I also think Jack knows this and That is probably the reason he is freaking out...imho

Especially when it is followed by a Jack centered episode.....a little of him goes a long way and I wish the writers would realize that.

I did enjoy it, though I thought it was a bit all over the place. Mostly I had a strong feeling my old man crush was going to show up in this episode, and he did, so that made me happy. Yay, Jack's Dad, who may or may not be Jacob. (Or, maybe Jacob is able to make himself look like anyone he pleases....)

Maybe he's smokey....after all, the smoke detector was sure acting up
