Depilation and Time Travel: The Great Mysteries of Lost

Jack

Apologies to those of you who don't watch Lost...

As I watched last night's episode, I wondered the same thing that Defamer does — where oh where has Jack's body hair gone? Like the black smoke, the giant foot, or, hell, just about everything in the show, count it as just another of Lost's great mysteries to be answered in future episodes.

One more note [and possible SPOILER], AFTER THE JUMP...

Shave

Jack's hair has apparently vanished even before he gets off the island. Here, Juliet shaves an abdomen with no hair on it.

  1. Smooth or no, he's a hunk. I'd let him fist fuck me on Christmas morning.

  2. Even more mysterious -- how does he maintain that buzz cut with no electric clippers?

  3. Whatever the reason, he looks a lot better with the hair on his body. Without it he looks like the Pillsbury Dough Boy.

  4. LOL@all!

    Okay, except the fisting part. YIKES! I'm on Voet's bandwagon though. Save the fur!

  5. Team Body Hair - waaaaay better.

  6. And what about the scar Jack would have after the appendectomy out there in the wilds of Lost's island, that seems to be missing in the future too?

  7. His scar from his appendix removal pretty big and messy and now gone. Wonder if that's important.

  8. Shaved bodies are the best! Hairless rules! Hair-free is the ultimate! Totally hairless from the neck down.

  9. Coutn me with Team Body hair

    That said, who actualy watches this show? The writers have no clue what their story is about. They just toss out weird stuff and go from there with no clear plot or ending.

  10. PS

    For the waxers/ shavers, just imagine living bnack in ancient rome. They considered body hair a sign of being a barbarian and would go to great lengths to have EACH and every piece of body hair plucked out with tweezer like instruments. Even under arm hair was plucked out one at a time.

    YIKES

  11. praying for the end of this hairless/shaved trend in body fashion

    yuck

  12. Looking like Yogi bear is out, but some decent body hair is what men are made for. Hairless is unnatural and some guys look like that ugly hairless dog.
    If I wanted smooth hairless bed partners I would have stuck with women.

    Posted by: Joshua | May 2, 2008 8:58:33 PM


  13. Easy answer - Matthew Fox had to shave his bod in order to wear those skintight lycra costumes for SPEED RACER. Plain and simple...

    Posted by: steven | May 2, 2008 9:16:53 PM


  14. i'm in the body hair fan club, too. but not too much.

    total hairlessness makes guys look like little children. no thanks.

    Posted by: humanist | May 2, 2008 9:25:51 PM


  15. Hair,oh yes.Chest,pubs and buns.Shave around the hole only.Hair is the one think men have (in the face and body) that women do not have.I like men,I like hair.Shave the pubs or not,the size is the same nor matter what.Shave puns doesn't make it bigger,is only andoptical illusion.Anyway,hair or not, Josh is hot.

  16. Better with hair. Still good without it, but not as good.

    Posted by: John In Texas | May 2, 2008 11:26:55 PM


  17. Wonder if the whole "Where's the scar" thing has anything to do with the island's supposed healing powers? Or are Lost fans like me obsessed over every detail (because we basically have to be) that when something unexpected or meaningless like this happens, it sets us into a frenzy?
    And yes please to Foxy...

  18. I guess some of you are blind, or didn't watch it in high-def. You can clearly see the appendectomy scar during the flash-forward, in particular as Jack's holding the razor right before he hands Kate a towel.

    He was shaved so that the audience would see the scar.

    You can also see it here, on his right, below the navel:

  19. LOL @ Oscar...

    Women actually do have body hair, though most North American women remove most of all of it. And I dunno... but I generally think that a penis and testacles are another thing than men have (in the face and body) that women don't have... lol

    As for shaved/not shaved... I think some manscaping is good... but an overall bald body is a bit weird... trimmed hair is nice... so you don't feel like you're flossing when you blow a guy... and yes, the illusion of a bigger dick is true. :)

  20. It's DEFINITELY something in the L'Oreal he's been using...definitely.
    I guess his follicles just weren't worth it ;)

  21. JIMMYBOYO, you continue to amaze me. the romans also scraped off gladiator sweat to use as a beauty enhancemnent for women (facials, i think).

    this is only my opinion, but ordinary, natural hair on a man is good. back hair, not so good. maybe it's my mexican heritage that informs my bias on this topic, but i like my men hairy in the right places.

    Posted by: nic | May 3, 2008 2:48:04 PM


  22. I prefer my men with fur. Not a wooly mammoth, but mostly natural. I so much agree with NIC and VOET. The shaved, plucked, waxed and buffed to a high gloss polish is just a real turn off. I like to feel I'm with another man, not a smooth, soft woman.

    Posted by: Bob R | May 3, 2008 5:45:26 PM


  23. what about naturally smooth men? Not talking pubes and underarms, of course, but chests and certainly backs.

    Posted by: Jason | May 4, 2008 3:27:34 PM


  24. The Romans also considered Portuguese urine to be the finest quality mouthwash.

    Seriously.

  25. keep the body hair, i like my men like men :)

  26. Not counting the disturbing manscaping trend of the past several years, there's probably one "untold" reason why Matt decided to rid himself of the fur: GRAY. He probably decided that going hairless was better than sporting a mat of graying chest hair. It's happened before: Mark Harmon and Chuck Norris come to mind ...

    Posted by: Chuck | May 5, 2008 5:56:17 AM


  27. That hair was yummy!

    If I wanted a woman (i.e. hairless) I would fuck one. Men have hair.

  28. Dumbasses. Not all men are naturally hairy. Some don't need to shave, they're just smooth.
