Lost 4.05, The Constant

Yes, this is a little late but since I now have both a full-time job and a part-time job, it really couldn't be helped. *sigh*

I didn't find the "Do you love the defendant?" question out of the blue. Perhaps it's all the law & order I grew up on, but it's actually a very pertinent question regarding the bias and honesty of his testimony. If I were a lawyer, I would've asked the same question; it's clear that sometime since their return word's either gotten around or the attorney has gotten wind of the relationship between the two and is using it to her advantage. It makes Jack's word appear untrustworthy, like he's saying these things because of emotional involvement. I don't quite understand why everyone was so bzuh? about that one - is it just the attorney knowing there's been romantic feelings between them that seems out of the blue, or the question itself? :\

oh, and i like your jack-is-time-jumping theory. that's a good one. :)

You do make a good point. I watch a lot of law shows as well and it seemed a little out-of-the-blue to me. It seems that she should have led up to the "love" question to keep him from being able to lie so easily. I don't know, maybe it was just bad writing or a time constraint issue but you would think that she would have latched onto his testimony that Kate saved him and nursed him back to health. Then asked if they spent a lot of time together, if they grew close, etc., etc. And then ask if he has feelings for her not just blurt out "Do you love her?" I mean, you could very well be right and their relationship could have been in the media but WHY? I mean, with the rescue and all of that, why would the media focus on Jack/Kate having a romantic relationship? I guess I'm going to have to see it play out but it seems to me that something will have to go down to cause that kind of focus PLUS the "love" question. Maybe they have a relationship post-island but as private as Jack/Kate are, I can't imagine that information being put out ( ... )
