Jack Shephard | Matthew Fox #137: Give the man the Emmy he already deserves!
Welcome to the 137th Appreciation Thread for Matthew Fox & Dr. Jack Shephard! • • • "The beauty of the soul shines out when a man bears, Matthew Chandler Fox Down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean, who is neither tarnished nor afraid... He is the hero, he is everything. He must be a complete man and a common man and yet an unusual man. He must be, to use a rather weathered phrase, a man of honor, by instinct, by inevitability, without thought of it, and certainly without saying it. He must be the best man in his world and a good enough man for any world. • • • True Heroes are not stronger, smarter or more capable than anyone; • • • Greatness comes not when things go good, greatness comes when you are really tested, when disappointments and sadness come. Because only if you have been in the deepest valleys can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain. • • • There are two types of heroic deeds. One is the physical, in which the hero performs a • • • When the will defies fear, when duty throws the gauntlet down to fate when honor scorns to compromise with death - that is heroism. • • • "Whatever we learn to do, we learn by actually doing it. • • • • • • That's what it takes to be a hero, a little gem of innocence inside you • • • A hero commits a courageous action without considering the consequences. He acts for the greater good. He is an ordinary individual who finds strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles. A hero will take charge, he'll act instead of react. A hero is defined by action, not by potential. • • •

Doctor. Leader. Hero. Heart&Soul. • • • "I have a son, he's about your age. He's not like me. He does what's in his heart. He's a good man. Maybe a great one." ~ Christian || The Scenes;; An eye opens. We see a man lying in the jungle. Scared. LOST. Slowly, in pain, he gets up and emerges from the jungle to discover a crash site. He directly goes over and helps as many people as he can. He saves them. He's in control. His name, Jack. Moments later, when things have calmed down, he meets a woman, Kate, who helps him stitch the wound on his back. He tells her a story about fear, and tells her he's a doctor, a spinal surgeon. Jack&Kate continue to grow closer each episode and you can see that he's falling in love with her. In this season we find out who Jack Shephard is and how he gets pushed in the role of a leader without wanting to be there. We discover more about his past and his troubled relationship with his father, Christian Shephard. When he finds the coffin of his father in the caves, Jack starts to see visions of Christian being on the island, and tells Kate that his father died in Sydney and as his story continues we learn that Jack blames himself for that. His father always told him that Jack wouldn't be good enough, that he wasn't strong enough to be a leader, to fix things. And Jack believed him. When Boone is dying Jack gives in everything to save him, he even donates his own blood after hours of surgery, but Boone dies. Jack takes his anger out on Locke who was partly responsible for Boone's death. Locke tells him about the hatch he and Boone found. The season ends with them opening the hatch and looking down in a deep dark hole. ~Liesbeth • • • “The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night.” "Jack, a wonderfully layered and complex character • • • • • • "Jack is definitely my first love." ~ Damon Lindelof "Why do you find it so hard to believe?" a baffled Locke asks Jack in the season opener "Man Of Science, Man of Faith." One can hardly blame him considering he's asked to push a button to "save the world", essentially. That's what happens when he descends into the hatch he wanted to use for shelter to find a man, Desmond, claiming he has been entering numbers in a computer to save the world for three years. What's more is this man actually recognizes him because they've met before the crash with Desmond telling Jack he'll "see him in another life." Is it coincidence or fate? Desmond goes AWOL but not before giving Jack the numbers to enter. Locke wants to keep this number pushing business going and thinks its a two person job. He wants Jack to enter them first and he flat out refuses. But Locke, as well as Jack, knows that a part of him must believe in this or he wouldn't be there in the first place so he stubbornly enters the numbers. Much of season two involved the mysterious Others and Jack at odds with them. From meeting a bearded 'Zeke' who told him this was *their* island and forced him to give up their weapons, to meeting the likes of Henry Gale--an important Other pretending to be someone else when he was captured, Jack was always willing to go to battle. The season ends with a traitorous Michael leading Jack and company to the Others camp in the rouse of going after Walt when he really plans on trading them for Walt. Jack is aware of this but he tells his people "You have to know that I would never bring you out here if I didn't have a plan." Sayid planned to ambush the Others at their camp. Unfortunately, Michael's more devious then they thought and leads them to a clearing where the Others capture Jack, Kate, Hurley and Sawyer. In the flashbacks, we saw how Jack met his future wife, Sarah. Her spine was almost inoperable and she would most likely be paralyzed. While he was very clinical and lacked some compassion, he felt an emotional pull towards her and promised to "fix her." Amazingly, he did so and they would marry but it would always be a strain on their marriage as seen in 'The Hunting Party'. She resented that he was such a committed man to his work telling him that "you will always need something to fix." before leaving him for another man. ~Alesia • • • “Between the idea, and the reality; Between the motion, and the act falls the shadow.” “Jack is an incredibly tense dude. He’s a man that commits to what he • • • • • • “I don’t buy into the notion of pure heroes. I think that is sort of an antiquated idea. Jack has always been a man of action; so when he was held in the Hydra by the Others at the beginning of S3, unable to do anything about it, he refused to be a cooperative prisoner; that is until he thought his friends' happiness and lives were at stake. Rather than turn his back he did something inherent to his heart--he sacrificed everything. He put his life on the line, without a shadow of a doubt in his mind that he would be killed for his actions. He did it out of love. Those two words probably best describe Jack's journey throughout Season 3 – love and sacrifice. Love for his people, love for a woman, sacrifice for his friends, and sacrifice for love. He was willing to give up everything if it meant leading the rest of his people to rescue and safety. His selflessness and leadership led his people to what they all believed was rescue. We found however, that in the future Jack was a mess. Broken. Shattered. Empty. Far from the man we knew on the island, but it’s those moments in between the hurt and the pain he was going through when we see that glimmer of hope; when he’s still saving people, still caring for others, feeling for others, still loving, still trying with all his might to do what he believes is right. It’s that light in his eye that lets us know he's still there, that he’ll be back. In the words of Faulkner, he "will not merely endure. He will prevail." ~Ashlee • • • “I'll do anything for you. I did everything for you.” "I think, way down, he is. He is an instinctual leader and an • • • • • • "The fact that he is suicidal ... I think there are little insinuations Hope. Jack Shephard was full of it. He had just successfully secured his people a ticket off the island. He was, for the first time, completely relieved. He almost seemed carefree. For 100 days, give or take, he had worked so hard on getting them off the island and then for it to finally happen, it was freeing. Stripped. He got off the island. Just not in the way he expected. It wasn’t all 40 of survivors. It was only six. And while the lie they told, the lie they made up to protect those left on the island was successful, it began to slowly eat away at Jack’s already fragile state. In the beginning, all seemed fine. He entered a relationship with Kate and he was happy. Truly happy. And he finally started to believe that leaving the island was a good thing. That it was supposed to happen like this. Yet the signs never left him. The lingering doubt was always present whether it was the form of a three-year-old little boy or a supposed deceased father that maybe, just maybe, he wasn’t supposed to be back in civilization. He was supposed to be on the island. Destiny. Towards the end of this journey, we saw Jack at his lowest he’s ever been. It was the place where the only thing he had left was one he never thought he’d have to rely on – faith. He didn’t know why he was meant to go back to the island. He didn’t know why those he left behind were in danger. All he had was faith. So, in the end, this season we saw Jack experience three things. Hope - when he realized that after 100 days of death, life, love, and heartache, he was finally getting off the island. Stripped – as he began to realize that leaving the island like he did, living this lie back in civilization would not ever sit right in his mind. Destiny – when he accepted that his life, his meaning in this world would be experienced at the very place he was so desperate to leave, the island. ~Carlie • • • “Man performs, engenders so much more than he can or should have to bear. That's how he finds he can bear anything.” "Season four, I would say, was one of the harder seasons, • • • • • • "I think he is really hard on himself, but I think he is desperately fighting The number 5 has been a defining character element in the story of Jack Shephard. It represents a tried and true method he uses to conquer his fear and overcome frightening situations. So it makes sense that Season 5 marks a turning point in Jack’s life. No longer is he the type of man who only believes in what he can actually see and touch; he’s starting to believe in fate; destiny and powers beyond this world that are invisible to those who refuse to see them. He’s not just taking a leap of faith in Locke or the island, but in himself and his companions as well. It’s a completely different Jack than we have ever seen before. After overcoming his addiction and putting that part of his life behind him, he’s now back on the island, ready to see the signs the island is giving him and ready to accept and conquer whatever challenges await him. Jack is officially on his way to learning what it means to rely on faith, because sometimes, that’s all you’ve got and at times, it can be the most powerful force on earth. Jack is now heading down a path that will free him from the bonds of science and the idea that there is no such thing as destiny or powers that are bigger than ourselves, a path that will show him strength and courage inside of him he never knew existed and most importantly, that miracles can and do happen. ~Carrie • • • “He will not merely endure.

|| The LP;; Disc One Disc Two About 'The Balancing Act': This soundtrack could be called a character study of Jack through music. No character on 'Lost' is more complex or layered than that of Jack Shephard. He is not the antiquated hero; he's been broken, tortured, and hurt. He's flawed but, the beauty of this is that he rises above those flaws in order to achieve a greater purpose. Through all the brokenness and the bruises lies a man with a good heart; a strength that sometimes he doesn't even realize he has. He loves, cares, and is willing to sacrifice whatever it takes for his people. He's stubborn, a fighter with a will that is much stronger than the circumstances that have been thrown his way. Even when we find him broken after leaving the island he's still fighting for the concept of good. Jack's journey has constantly been an endeavour to find an equilibrium; between taking control and letting go, between denial and acceptance. It's a search for that balance between his past and the promise of his future; between reason and logic, and the freedom that comes with taking a leap of faith. This soundtrack is a study on Jack and his journey to find his balance. His destiny. This is his balancing act. • • • || The EP;; The EP;; About 'C&CL': 'Through the Looking Glass' is without a doubt one of the best episodes in the entire series of Lost. Jack, on island, at the height of leadership is juxtaposed with Jack in the future who has hit rock bottom. There's a dichotomy present in this episode where we find Jack in a place we hadn't thought we'd see before. Tortured. Suicidal. Broken. Addicted. Empty. This EP is dedicated to the flashforward character of Jack within the episode. Each song is meant to fit within the context of the flashforward with the knowledge that we now have of what happened to drive him to the place he has reached during the episode. While at moments dark, there are those flickers of light for the duration of the soundtrack, much like we see throughout the flashforward in the episode, when even while in pain Jack still has a drive and a will to find what he's meant to be doing; to get back to the island; to rise from the ashes and be an even stronger version of the man he once was; to be redeemed and to ultimately find his purpose. Making this LP & EP was a true labor of love for a character we have such a strong connection to. We hope you enjoy listening to them as much as we loved putting them together. - Ashlee, Carlie, & Carrie - • • • || The Credits;; Fede (Whatsername): OP appreciation banner, reasons, soundtrack header, & 'hobbies' banners Laura ( Laura ): Season banners & top flashbacks/flashforward banners Luka (lulinha_k): 100th icons, animations, & top outfit banners Laura (at atomicapples): Men's Health photoshoot art Jen (rockthecreek): Foxy 'Details' transparents Carrie (LoveyKJ23): S5 writeup, LP & EP covers, backs, and song arts Alesia (tofillupthedays): S2 writeup Lies (Lostbeth): S1 writeup Carlie (Carlie06): soundtrack co-creator & S4 writeup Ha (chase the memories): 100th icons Ashlee (Ash_lost): colored Foxy pics, quotes art, 1st OP headers, soundtrack co-creator, soundcard lyric transparents, Jack Shephard header, quote/header transparents S3 writeup, tv & film banners, soundtrack writeups, 100th art, top scene banners (inspired by poupa), & post concept/layout |
