What, exactly, is Robert Carlyle smoking?
Carlyle, who’s going to be in the Season 7 prequel movie in November playing Jack’s long-lost best bud, claimed that the two-hour prequel would be the first two hours of Day 7.
Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!
I’m quite relieved, as that would have been supremely stupid. I can just see Jack’s plane ride back from Africa, with Congress waiting to hear his testimony.
15:13: Jack settles into coach. The person in front of him reclines and they haven’t even taxied the runway yet. Jack yanks his seat belt off his seat, wraps it around the guy’s neck, yelling, “Dammit! Can’t you even wait for us to take off? Try that again and I’ll shove a towel down your throat and then pull it back up!”
18:28: Jack can’t nap. Asks for an extra pillow. Stewardess tells him she’ll take a look for one. He leaps from his seat, shoves her up against the wall of the galley, holding her by the neck, yelling, “Dammit! I don’t have time for you to look!” She suggests he lay off the caffeinated drinks for the rest of the trip.
00:34: Jack has been drinking in hopes of falling asleep. He’s leaning over his seatmate, slurring, “And then Kim – KIIIIMMMMMM! – stopped talking to me just becaush my partner killed her mommy. TERRRIIIIII!” Breaks down sobbing. Stewardess cuts off the alcohol supply. He slams her up against the wall of the galley, holding her by the neck.
Please add your suggestions in the comments below.
By the way, I compiled a whole lot of bloggy stuff about Jack and Kiefer here, if you care to peruse.
