A filming update from Ryan at HawaiiBlog has the spoiler world bopping today. Apparently actor John Terry, who plays Jack's father Christian, was present for filming of flash forward scenes.
Ever since Jack eluded, albeit under the influence, to his fathers corporealness in "Through the Looking Glass," a great debate has raged over whether or not Jack was just losing it, or if Christian is in fact alive. The answer, apparently, is about to be revealed:
"The scene was set inside St. Sebastian Neurology Clinic, bustling with doctors and nurses in scrubs and white smocks. Matthew Fox was there, of course. But so was John Terry. One scene took place at the hospital's front desk, and another inside Dr. Jack Shepherd's office. More than a few minds were blown when Sam Anderson showed up... but he was apparently just visiting with his wife and kids. It's good to know he's back in town, though!"

Couldn't this just be the same way Charlie was visiting Hurley though?
My thoughts exactly, DV,
I agree as well.
I'm voting for a "your work is not done" sort of vision from Christian that is part of what sends Jack into bearded hysteria.
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one
part of the script:
Christian Shephard: Jack - you can see me and Vincent the dog can see me!
Jack: Vincent can see you too?
Christian Shephard: Yes - it was one of the LOST Missing Pieces episodes!
I'm with DV and Evan on this one. I'm thinking that Jack seeing his dead father is what brings him to become Uncle Drinks-a-lot. He needs to get back to the island and the only way is through Ben. But Ben dies and he decides to kill himself. But he can't, because the island isn't done with him yet. The book says, "We might be through with the past, but the past ain't through with us."
Did I mention that I think it's Ben in the coffin?
Yup, Ben.
Yep, probably just a vision like Charlie, Libby...and Christian many times before on the island.
Did I mention that I think it's Ben in the coffin? Yup, Ben.
No, I don't think so. It's obviously Michael, I mean: the obit Jack tore out of the paper mentioned an artist hanging himself (using a non-Michael Dawson name), that he left behind a teenaged son, the funeral home is in a black part of Los Angeles and nobody showed up. Even my dad, who's kinda slow about making connections with stuff that happened in previous seasons said "Oh yeah, the guy in the coffin is Michael" after 0408.
As for Christian, Charlie said it best: "I am dead, but I'm also here". I wish they would have killed off Jack in the pilot like they had originally planned and kept Pops Shepherd, he's a much better character IMO.
