Thank you. Tonight’s episode was, for so many reasons, the greatest episode of this season and possibly of the entire show. Thank you for giving us answers to a Top Five mystery, thank you for the flashback revelation, thank you for the general sharing/asking of information between 815 survivors, and thank you for the closing frame, which was one of the best .3 seconds of television I’ve ever witnessed. I apologize for my early Season 3 doubt, I rescind all complaints about Island 2 and Jack/Sawyer/Kate focuses, and I submit myself to two more years of eager viewership and rabid fascination.
Thank you, also, for Locke’s performance this episode. After his apparent attitude problem in the previous episode, this week’s turn was a) effing awesome b) totally Locke. Thank you for creating a character we fear, admire, pity, love, and despise, and putting him on the List. Next week’s Locke-centric episode looks like it will be totally oh my god amazing and I will watch it and watch it again.
Also, if you like Lost and you’re not listening to the admittedly nerdy LostCast, you’re missing out on a weekly compilation of the theories, details, philosophical references, research, and general forum-scraping that makes the show twice as fun. I will stop now.


I agree. I was tense almost the whole hour and that’s how I know it was a really good one. Locke finally freaked me out again!
This has nothing to do with Lost, but dude: JA the movie.
a movie!
Wharman, my favorite Locke moment was when they searched his pack and he shrugged it off. It undid all the stupid he seemed to accumulate during Enter 77.
John: That. Is. Bizarre. Could they have picked a more obscure title to film? Maybe it’s supposed to tie into the “success” of the upcoming third one. Good God.
If Jagged Alliance still had a fanbase in the triple digits, one can imagine the casting conversations the forums would have over this one. Sandra Bullock as Buzz, Mark Ruffalo as that Hedge Trimmer guy? As long as the film even HAS Ivan, I will rent and bear it.
