I dont think he's drugged up. I think they sat him down, laid out the whole Otherville initiative which must have sounded so amazing and awesome to Jack that he just couldnt resist to join in on the fun. We have been told by the creators of the show that Others are good ppl, havent we?

One of my co-workers missed the episode and I gave her a summary. Her thought on Jack being all happy was 'oh, I bet they stuck him in the 'reprogramming' room like that kid'.

Heh. Maybe. But I'm still going with he's faking and the Others are buying it 'cause they're really really stupid. :)

Am I the only one thinking Jack's manipulating them by being complacent?

Lol, i heard about Jack and Tom throwing a football around. That scene alone kinda makes me want to see that episode.

I'm not sharp on my Lost history, since i havent seen alot of them this season, but wasnt Cindy and the children happy as well? Maybe they actually do something to them when they enter their official society. Maybe some people fall for it, and others dont. My bet is on Jack pretending he is converted as well. After seeing Cindy and other survivors transformations. Jack's pretty fucking smart, so i wouldnt doubt it. I remember one of those last episodes i saw, when he was playing Juliet, just like Ben played him.

NO WAY! Jack heard showers and pick up football and was all "where do I sign?!?"

or not. ;)

Also my afterthought involved dead baby animals around the perimeter fence, so you totally win. (How would they no not to frolic through? How?)

HA! That explains everything!

I suspect it's been done, but maybe Jack could convince everyone who comes to rescue him to share? He should start with Locke, who seriously needs to chill out. And since everyone'd be all blissed on drugs, they'd never make it back to the beach, so *another* search party could go, and that one could be, like, Sawyer and Desmond and (is there anyone else hot left?) and then the party would really start in Otherville!

Oh, I bet the Others could be fun if they got the party started. Or Ben would be all, "Shut up! Keep it down! All you kids get off my lawn!" Hee.

Locke would totally still be blowing things up. Or off in the corner lighting his farts. (too crass?)

They must have given Jack the same happy drugs they gave Claire!

YES!

I think lots of fans have gotten far too serious about this show. It's becoming disturbing to read reviews anymore. =/

The past few episodes have had a kind of season one vibe to them, which feels weird when compared to the first six of this season... but apart from that, it's feeling a little more FUN again.

And LOL. Grain of salt. Yeah. See icons. Heh. I LOVE your polls, I always get a good chuckle out of answering the questions. ;)

you should write a fic with jack and claire finding out they're brother and sister while on the happy pills! it would be hilarious!

Jack and Sawyer on happy pills would be fun too, even though there's been tons of cracked-out fic with them drunk or high on something else. But now it's canon, baby!

hell yeah! i totally want to read some happy pill crack!fic now. :-)

Hey,good call,lol!!!
Can I have some happy pills too?:D
