That was a Fury ep? Well done, Mr. Fury.
These are the kinds of episodes I love, where the flashbacks make the character interactions we've witnessed over the course of the season make so much more sense. Michael is definitely one of my favorite characters. He's torn between having given up on getting Walt back and now having him forced upon him, and having wanted to be his dad so strongly before and now getting the chance to do it. It's great and complex.
And yeah, Walt. Why hasn't he wished them all off the island? He must not want it enough. With the rain, the dice, and the bird, he
really
wanted it. Not sure how he summoned the polar bears, though. He didn't really ask for them.
Charlie and the diary was indeed good stuff.
Boone is totally Locke's bitch, yes. Man.
And Claire at the end was not an HSQ for me since I saw Emilie de Ravin's name in the credits and was waiting for her the whole time. And while that doesn't always ruin the surprise, it did here because of the amount of times someone said the word "Claire" and reminded me.
Unless the monks Walt summoned have altered the very fabric of reality and inserted the "past" with polar bears.
Liked this episode better, dislike Locke even more, but tonight it was in a good way.
Boone kept reminding me of someone everytime I saw him with Locke and I finally figured it out --- Boone and Locke remind me of Wormtongue and Saramun, but that's probably because I was watching RoTK EE the other night.
I really like Charlie and I liked Charlie during most of this episode except when he was conflicted about reading Claire's diary and kept messing with it. The scene just felt kind of...fake.
Walt's mother is a bitch. Total bitch. And I'm wondering if somehow Walt caused her death..
I was spoiled for Walt's "special-ness" so when Locke kept talking about Walt living up to his potential I wondered if Locke was trying to harness Walt's power, or at least keep him close.
There wasn't enough Sawyer or Sayid (or Sayid n Shannon) in this episode.
No new episodes to February?? That really really sucks.

yes, two weeks of reruns seems odd right now. Wonder if they are doing it to end the season with a bang?

It's really no different than the way Buffy or Angel were scheduled. If anything, we usually got only one episode of those in January. The networks love to hold the new episodes for sweeps months. We'll get reruns in March and April, too.
There's only 8 or 10 episodes left this season.
Susan is the bitchiest bitch that ever bitched.
She's a bigger bitch than SHANNON.
Bryan is also kind of a bitch.
Michael's "Bryan said you could have [Vincent]" was fucking awesome.
I can picture Bryan at home, watching the news. "The plane's disappeared? MY FUCKING DOG!! Oh yeah, and that kid."
That guy from Point Pleasant?
Faux Alan Yorke.
Point Pleasant was a waste of time.
Walt's mother is a bitch. Total bitch. And I'm wondering if somehow Walt caused her death..
Yep, that occured to me too. It seems like too much of a coincidence that she died of a sudden "mystery illness" and then he seems to have these strange "talents." Perhaps Walt felt some sort of subconscious rage towards her b/c of her treatment of his father (assuming that he had some vague memory of his father from when he was a baby) and this manifested as the blood disease. I also got the sense that Bryan suspected this, and that's why he was so eager to be rid of Walt.
Anyways, not a bad episode and not a bad show, I should try to catch it more often; has anyone read Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian? At times Locke reminds me of Judge Holden.
