ok I'm still thinking about this but just needed to get it out.

What if when they get off the island and Jack starts to lose it telling Kate that they need to go back. What if they Lied to the rest of the people saying the other people are going to meet us and then they left them? I don't know just was thinking See the guy that came and saw Hugo Asked "ARE THEY STILL ALIVE?" why?

All I know is that Jack made a BIGGG mistake!!! I guarantee it, it just seems, Jack's character has changed drastically from the season 1 hero, we remember. I don't know if he just can't wait to get home or what, but I think hes had enough. And he makes a huge mistake getting off the island with out the rest of the gang, I just hope Locke doesn't make the same mistake, personally I think he stays. But a bad decision was made a BAD one!

I agree. right now I'm under the premise that the island affords one who is supposed to die that second chance for redemption, peace, and ability to change your life before you do die. The what if you could do it all over again? question. So although Charlies death may be sad on the surface, in the end he died happy and at peace. I think those who have gotten off the island realize this and hence the desire to get back. That's why Charlie came back and appeared to his good friend Hurley. He wants his good friend to die with peace too.

well that makes sense to me. the characters that have died (most of them at least, if not all- cant remember) have found peace/resolved their problems before they died. so its like the purgatory idea, but doesnt involved death, like the producers are insisting it isnt. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
