can someone please tell me what 'live together die alone' means cos i don't get the quote! (im really stupid lol!)

Hey, it's never stupid to ask a question when you don't know something.

Jack said that line in one of the early season 1 eps (which I'm sure somebody knows which ep it was, right? ). He was giving a pep talk to the bunch, telling them basically that they needed to stick together if they wanted to live, otherwise they would die if they were out there alone. Then it got condensed down into a sort of catch-phrase: "live together, die alone."

And Kate repeated it in Man of Science/Man of Faith. I totally remembered that from the start of the season and not because ABC repeated that episode last week, honest.

It's also sort of sinister in that episode's context:

Quote:

KATE: I'm going to the hatch. I understand why you can't go. They need you here. I get it. I do. But Locke's going into that thing whether you like it or not. And if he falls and breaks his neck? Live together, die alone, right? JACK: Right.

... which is not exactly Aislynn's interpretation, to say the very least. Heh.

I'm gonna have to re-open this just to say Jack first said it at the end of Episode 5 of season 1, White Rabbit.
