Cast the Lifetime movie based on your life and tell us about it. You can give us a brief synopsis of the major plot points, tell us about the dramatic climax, or even write a scene from it. Remember this is only based loosely on the real events of your life so take as many liberties as you want with it.

I'm not so sure a movie about my life would be all that great. Though my luck someone would license something entirely untrue. The world would see jack Shepard as some hero, the lone doctor on a tropical island who saved the day. They'd leave out how I lost Joanna, the Marshall. They'd make my attempts to save the ones we lost far more heroic than the truth. What movie is about truth though? Honestly, based on a true story means nothing these days. It means that they had this idea but the rest of it was up for grabs.

I'd probably be played by some two-bit actor who's much younger than I am. They'd pair me up with Kate because how much more heroic could someone be if they can look past the 'criminal' element? They'd characterize her wrong; they'd characterize our relationship wrong; making it a romantic tide into the direction of forgiveness and redemption of which Kate needs neither. It would all be contrived and everyone would have a personality that doesn't match who they are. The dynamics of the island would be skewed. Sawyer would probably be pitted as my enemy while Hurley and Charlie provided nothing but comic relief. When all three of them are so much more than what they'd be typed as; screw lifetime and its movies.

They'd make it seem like the islanders were useless unless I was around because that's what they do. They stylize these heroes and make them bigger than what they were, they'd try to show the real man but it wouldn't work. It would be trite and inaccurate and probably piss everyone on the island off.

So I don't want a movie made about my life; I'm not that hero and I never wanted to be. People may need a leader but they are the ones living and surviving. I exist on this island, doing the job that needs to be done and that does not make me any better than anyone else here. I don't want to think anymore about what popular opinion would be because I just don't care. As much as I might want to get away from all this sometimes, I don't like to think about what life will/would be like after rescue.
