😆
you know what's actually funny?
Cuse and Lindelof, after Jack's Tattoo aired, decided to put an end date to the show.... before they do anymore crap like that... 😂
Honestly, it was bad, It's written in chinese, and in the episode, he was in Thailand 🤨 . Its meaning it's not the one given in the show and it was based on an actual tattoo that Matthew Fox has...
"Matthew has a cool tattoo, let's make an episode about it!" 🙄
EDIT: here's the quote (The interview is quite good actually):

: Well, we were very excited in the writer’s room and then obviously proceeded with the idea of doing a flashback about how Jack got his tattoos, but that was not an episode that, when we looked at it, was a high water mark of the show. That was the episode where we were more convinced than ever that we must negotiate an end date, so we didn’t have to find out how Jack got his athlete’s foot. That was the point in the series where we were feeling like…it was at the point where we negotiated the end date where we were able to sort of deploy ourselves deeper into the mythological timeline, and that was enormously helpful. The realization was that those flashbacks were finite. The first ones, where you find out that Hurley’s a lottery winner or Kate’s a fugitive or that Locke was in a wheelchair, those were really exciting, but when you get down to the fifth or sixth one, they become exponentially less compelling. So for us, the Season 3 flashbacks…that was sort of the turning point for us, that particular story.
they also say we won't know why Libby was in the same mental institution as Hurley 🙁

😂There had better be a GENIUS bit of ret-conning that redeems that episode, retroactively.. cause man what a stinker that was.
one good thing about it: It gave the show focus by negotiating the end date 😄
