Continuity’s error: Jack’s back


1) French fan here (but no, I’m not the French woman from the transceiver!).

2) Completely in love with the show! Creators, directors, cast and crew, you are all amazing!

3) But…allways a little disturbed by the continuity’s errors… I’m not going to list them here, we all know they are often inevitable, but one really disappointed me: I love Jack’s character (and Matthew Fox’s interpretation…), so I can’t believe NO ONE, the make-up department, or even the actors implicated in that plot (MF and Evangeline Lilly), has thought of the cut in Jack’s back! ?!

It was the subject of an essential scene in the Pilot: Kate and Jack’s first meeting, “counting to five” mantra, etc., so WHY??? In “White Rabbit”, Jack has a swimming scene, in “The House…”, we see his naked back again… and NO WOUND stitched with a “standard black” thread??? Only five or six days have passed, and the wound is completely healed? Is that a mini-miracle à la Locke??? If so, why Jack (a doctor!) hasn’t noticed that “magic power” of the island?

And by the way, in the little “flirting scene about the tattoos” between Jack and Kate in the beginning of “The House…”, many of us were waiting for “oh, indeed, the number five relates to the “counting to five” you teached me when we met”!

Each episode is supposed taking place the day after the precedent episode, which is a great idea ; but therefore it is necessary (more than in any other show) to maintain the story’s continuity. You should engage a fan to verify that, I’m sure many would work for free!

End of rant, I love you all anyway… but I’m patiently waiting some sort of explanation!


PS: 4) I apologize for my bad English, and I’m ready to speak in French with Evangeline Lilly any day!

Re: Continuity’s error: Jack’s back

As far as I knew, the cut was there. If it didn't show up on camera... Well... sorry.

Besides, don't people seem to heal quickly in this place.

Re: Continuity’s error: Jack’s back

Many thanks for answering… but:

As far as I knew, the cut was there.* If it didn't show up on camera... Well... sorry.

I’m pretty sure that none of us, viewers, has seen that cut… So what’s the point to have a fake wound if it don’t show up (twice) on camera?


Besides, don't people seem to heal quickly in this place.

The BIG wounds heal quickly (that’s an understatement for Locke’s physical disability!... but there is also Jack’s cut, Michael’s wound…), and the LITTLE cuts on their face last forever! Clue or incoherence?

In fact, the problem here is that the Lost lovers want to be sure that ALL the details are intentional and not the product of some continuity’s error… We want that show to be perfect!

So, it’s your collective fault if we have so high expectations,* ;D!
