Jack is getting “flashes.”

I can’t help but think Jack is beginning to get flashes, and that is why he’s sick.

Daniel makes some excuse as to why the sat phone isn’t working, Bernard insists they can still use it as a telegraph, then Daniel begins to explain what he’ll need to fix the phone. Jack then looks as though he’s remembering something he heard before when Daniel speaks (a kind of flash before Jack’s eyes, ala Desmond), it is something beyond mere suspiscion; it is more like recognition—he remembers this! And that’s when he says to Bernard “got a second, Bernard.”

Whatever Jack says to Bernard is off-screen, but I’m sure Bernard’s mention of “telegraphing” a message made Jack think Bernard WOULD know Morse code (and, in addition, if I recall, Rose said something about Bernard a) being a dentist and b) playing with his radios when he’s not causing people pain’ as a dentist)

So I’m also sure he told Bernard to listen carefully to any message they received in case they managed to turn the phone into a telegrapher of Morse code (and I believe Jack KNEW it would get to working again).

When Bernard translates the message saying the (freighter) doctor is fine, revealing Daniel to be a liar, I don’t think Jack is ONLY angry about Daniel lying to them, I think he understood that his “flash” was not just some weird daydream, but a real picture of “the future” (which, I believe, he THINKS is the future because he’s lived it before).

Jack then pukes at little at the end of the episode (just like Ben does when he wakes up in Tunisia).

That’s all I got. Thanks for reading.
