Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

I'm trying to figure out if a new viewer would be watching his flashbacks with the same "ooh, is this when he gets his legs broken?" attitude that I am.

I am as one with Jess, here. I've earned toasters at work for converting folks to lost, but if you haven't seen any of season one would Locke getting caught by the door have the same tension to a new viewer as it does to us, wondering if it's going to be a parallel to his past story or a metaphor for what cripples him or both. To a new viewer it's just, ooh, his legs gonna get cut off!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

And now that I reread, I see you were talking about folks who never had a chance to see that episode.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

And now that I reread, I see you were talking about folks who never had a chance to see that episode.

Yep -- because that ep colors how I view everything that happens to Locke, both on the island, and in the flashbacks. And I can't remember if they made that part of his backstory clear in S2, or if new viewers are seeing a completely different character.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I don't think S2 has referred to him in the wheelchair at all. None of the flashbacks have been with him post wheelchair.

What is even happening?

Thanks, P-C!

I have a question. The young woman who was one of Locke's home inspection clients (the woman who said she didn't have a husband), was that Sayid's friend?

OMGWTF, she was, according to IMDb.

Oh, good. I was afraid I was seeing the same woman, where it was just a different-ethnic-background-than-I-am woman.

Whoa! Good call, Cindy. Never even occurred to me.

I liked the ep, but I was hoping it would turn out that Locke had made a side deal with the guys looking for his dad as revenge. Now he'll probably just get stomped by them in some later episode.

Me, too, Frank. Either that, or when he came to deliver the money the cops would be waiting when his dad walked out the door. Something!

But, the one thing I'm getting from season two is that we're seeing that "the leopard can't change his spots." We've seen Sawyer become a worse crook, Charlie a worse weasel, Sayid goes torture happy and now Locke. So, not only does Locke trust his father when he shouldn't, he places the same trust in Henry and gets busted. And from the preview for next week, it looks like we get to see Hurley going through his cycle.
