RE-CAP: Flashback: Jack gets tattoo from girlfriend in

The "Others":
Okay, this has been something I've been trying to work on for a while... What do we know about the others?
- The live on the main
- They have a true society of a sort. Not only that but they appear to be a society with a high degree of shared purpose.

QUESTION: Who is your favourite "Other"? Leave a comment to let me know.
