First of all this was an amazing episode we learnt so many things about when Locke was off the island.
Spoiler Alert!!!
We started with an opening scene which forced us to be confronted by a whole host of new characters. First thing to note was we met Locke again, loved the camera work. It’s now time for the lost writers to try and piece some things together from previous episodes.
We find out that Locke was met by Charles Widmore who told his story about being banished from the island by Ben, should Locke believe him. Once Locke is in a fit state to travel he is assigned a driver who Locke recognizes from his past as he was the man who led him to boarding Oceanic flight 815.
Locke meets with Sayid who couldn’t care less about Locke predicament. John then seeks of Walt (bloody hell he’s grown up, making me feel old) who says he’s been having dreams about Locke in a suit being attacked, Ben sees Locke talking to him. He then visits Kate who again refuses to go back to the island giving a reason for John to mention his only love Helen. This brings us nicely to Locke insisting his drive take him to her, he take Locke to the cemetery where we are supposed to believe is dead, my lost senses are tingling, I expect her to be very much alive but Widmore knows this would stop him going back to the island. Locke’s driver is then shot and he drives away and crashes at an intersection. Obviously we find him being treated at Jack’s hospital who doesn’t want to hear about John’s stories, especially when it came with saying his dad was alive, very good acting here.
Ok now Locke is really down and goes to hang himself which we have been led to believe is how he died, the suicide note was written and a very sturdy looking noose made. All is in place when Ben comes in and stops him, Ben needs a bit more information out of Locke. Locke tells him everything and then Ben strangles him to death, Ben cleans the room and leaves.
At this point we are back at the island with John asking to talk to their leader Caesar, ‘someone shout irony’. Anyway John asks to view the planes log book but is told it was taken by pilot and a girl, hmm I wonder who they are? We end the show by Caesar showing Locke the wounded passengers, shock horror one of them is Ben and Locke ends the episode with a classic one liner after being asked if he knows the man, “Yes, that’s the man who killed me.”
Amazing episode 4.5/5
