Jack did NOT survive the Oceanic 815 crash, here's why:

I've come to the conclusion that JACK DIDN'T SURVIVE THE CRASH!

OK, before you all come at me for being an idiot here's why - and I admit it's probably not thought out brilliantly but it came to me when I was pottering about with the hens at the weekend.

The powers that be have always told us that there is a big, nay, massive clue in the opening scene in the Pilot, most notably regarding Jack's eye. "Christian" sends Vincent to wake up his son. If Jack is just unconscious, why can't he just wake up in his own time? “Christian” who we know has supernatural in some way – I’m using that term very loosely – has to go to some special effort to wake him up. Also, “Christian” says “He (Jack) has work to do”. Now this is something that is said about at least 2 people (John Locke in the hole when stabbed by Ben and Michael when he is trying to commit suicide on the main land) who aren’t supposed to die yet but still have endured situations that would ordinarily kill them. Jack didn’t land with the aeroplane, he crashed to Earth metres away from it – the man should be dead, but he isn’t because he “has work to do”. Also when John Locke wakes up after being touched by Jacob after dying from his fall out of the window, and Juliet wakes up from falling many yards down the shaft, they both look wide eyed and have a sharp intake of breath. This is exactly what Jack does after he awakes in the Pilot.

Now with the trailer for Season Six showing his eye (see comparison picture in previous blog post) I think it must be very significant. There, Jack didn’t survive the crash and was brought back because “he has work to do”. That’s my theory and I’m sticking to it.
