This is a story about the descent into madness, and overcoming it. This is all shown through the point of view of Dr. Jack Shepard who according to the story has recently lost his father before boarding on the plane that led to the accident. His desperation led to him being "lost" in the middle of the jungle, and then John Locke conveniently finds him. I say conveniently because while he did find Jack, he served as a paternal figure by basically telling him to find himself, because the group of survivors can't have someone to lead them who hasn't found himself. This leads to Jack finding remains of the airplane from the accident, and finding the coffin that carried his father. This was explained through a flashback leading up to this scene that found Jack trying to get the coffin to Los Angeles on the flight. After realizing his father is not in the coffin, he starts destroying the coffin and at this point, Jack has overcome the adversity of his father getting in the way through mysterious appearances on the island throughout this episode. The episode ends with Jack telling the group of survivors to basically man up, and to start putting things into perspective, and basically saying that they can't do things by themselves and that they are all in this together. Overall, I think this is a very underrated episode considering how low rated the episode is compared to others. This was a story of overcoming adversity and I couldn't have been less dissapointed.
