I have gotten so many questions about Christian Shephard. Here's a condensed version of some of them:

During one of Jack's flash forward scenes, I believe Jack refers to his father being "less drunk than he is" in the present tense when the attending physician is talking to him. Does that mean Jack's father is somehow alive again in the future after they are rescued? --Todd

In the final episode of season 3, Jack is trying to get a scrip filled and says that it was prescribed by his dad. Was he forging his dad's name? Wasn't he escorting his dad's dead body home and that was his reason to be aboard flight 815? --Melanie

In Jack's "future" flashes he mentions his father twice - once when he is accused of being drunk (get my father) and then when he claims his father wrote the prescription for pain pills. Isn't his father supposed to be dead? --Heidi

Shouldn't his father be dead or is he still alive somehow? --Mousa Hajarat
