You believe that Jack Shephard was a one-dimensional character? Really? Hmmm. I guess you're entitled to your opinion. I guess I just can't agree with this assessment. “The very worst were flashbacks involving Jack, easily the most one-dimensional character at the center of any critically adored drama.”

I disagree. I would say that O'Quinn was one of a handful of actors on that show capable of turning any material into a work of art. I would also include Matthew Fox, Daniel Dae Kim, Yunjin Kim, Harold Perrineau, Elizabeth Mitchell, Michael Emerson and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje. I feel they were the best performers in the series. “Terry O’Quinn as Locke was the only actor capable of turning any material into a work of art, while episodes focused on Kate, Hurley, Claire, Michael, and Charlie were at the whims of their episodes’ writing and mythologizing.”
