Trigirl, I knew you and I would feel the same way seeing as we're about the only Jack fans on this board. Went to bed last night pretty stunned. I guess I'm slow (and I do not read spoilers) but up until Kate showed up at the airport I did not know this was the future and not a flashback. His comments about calling his father threw me off. Those wacky producers!
I hated seeing him like that. Really hope this isn't the actual future. Maybe the first scene of next season will be him waking up from a bad dream a la "the year Bobby wasn't really dead on Dallas" Pam dream. Or maybe it's Kate's bad dream. Or just my bad dream. Poor future Jack.
One nation, under Romber...
