LOST - First Few Episodes

Jack:

Jack can seem to be too bossy in his role as a leader. He orders people around which soon (inevitably) evolves into conflict to carry the story forward. From a flashback, we find that Jack's father discouraged Jack from his seemingly natural leadership qualities, by putting him down. Jack soon starts striking out as he cannot handle the pressure the other crash victims put on him. They want him to guide them most of the time, but when a situation is inconveniant for them, they don't want Jack to lead them.

We also find that Jack and his father had a very difficult relationship which resulted in them not speaking to each other in months, and the death of Jack's father from alcohol poisoning.

Jack allows Sayid to toture Sawyer, which Jack is both for and against. This and the things listed above show that Jack is not the all round good guy that the LOST pilot had seemingly been building up to.
