Uncharted Island

That was quite the trippy dream sequence Locke had in the sweat tent. It was good to see Boone again. I must’ve blinked, because I didn’t see the polar bear; my husband had to point it out to me. I think I’ll need to watch it again on ABC.com because that was done well.

I was getting rather irritated with Locke being unable to speak. Luckily, that didn’t last too long.

I didn’t really get too much out of this episode. There are more polar bears, but that’s not a huge reveal. Sawyer and Kate are in bear cages, so it makes sense. We now know for sure that everyone in the hatch survived… although that doesn’t make much sense, considering the giant crater left when the hatch imploded.

Desmond, however… naked Desmond “remembered” a speech Locke would give in the future. Does he have ESP now? I’m sure this will be explored later on.

Locke was part of a cult. That helps explain how he got his Nature Lore +3. I thought the guns might’ve been for some sort of Waco type thing, but they were just cultivating drugs. It looks like John didn’t shoot the narc, but the scene cut off at a point where he just might’ve pulled the trigger. He did say something about people who get close to him getting hurt. So did he kill the kid, or did someone else do it for him? That cult was, after all, the only family he ever really knew. Hmm.

What got me the most was the preview for next week. They can’t kill Sawyer, but it sure looks like they’re going to. I’ll need to find out from people with TiVo… Was it Jack with the needle in his hand when Sawyer was strapped down? Time to go check what the rest of the ‘Net thinks.
