Had to seriously edit the TV.com synopsis which seems to be practically giving a description of the episode scene by scene! :mad:

Also found no point in a discussion thread for "The Journey". If anyone thinks for some reason that there should be one.. let me know here and i'll post one up ASAP. Never actually saw "The Journey" (**gasp**) but heard there was nothing of interest in it really!

Anyways.. quite a good episode. Nice mix of action, humour and drama. Sayid's backstory was interesting but not thrilling!

Will say more after the episode's aired!

Good episode, Sayid's backstory was alright, nothing special.

Stompbox

Yeah I liked this episode. Thought it was good

Pacifico

shuushh

Locke is by far the most interesting character in the series, I enjoyed Said's back story aswell


I was dying for someone to slap Shannon in the face at some point

Poor Episode
Revealed nothing
The back story was interesting but the overall story was NOT developed at all.

Disappointing episode plotwise, but enjoyable enjoy enough with the baby subplot and all. Locke seems pretty invincible at this stage. I thought tonights was supposed to be the last one? When is the last one on then?

It had the feel of a bit of a filler episode. Nothing outstanding, but not the worst either.

Yeah, nothing special. Bit disappointing actually after last weeks fantastic stuff.

I thought it was fairly entertaining, nothing too shocking or surprising though.. Sayid's back story was good enough... also noticed his fundamentalist buddies were playing Half-Life....

Tonights episode was good. Locke's character is becoming more and more sinister with each episode. He has gone from being enlightened and wise and genuine to being alienated and deceptive. Why is he so intent on hiding his knowledge about the hatch from everyone?

How terrible was The Journey? Apparantly that was Brian Cox doing the voiceover,the guy is a legend,but it sounded so terrible!

This ep was good, when Locke got shot,it looked like it hit his chest,but it grazed his head...

Very Terrible! I was looking forward to a brand new episode to follow last weeks events when I noticed the recap was a little long! I know some of my friends who hadn't seen Lost from the start probably appreciated it but I wish RTE had told us they were gonna be showing it.

Anyway the new episode was OK but no revelations really. Looked a lot better in the RTE promotional ad.

... initially, it depends what's in the hatch and what kind of person you are. i myself would not tell anyone just in case it was terrible, instead laying the burden on myself. whereas some would come running, blabbing about what they had found like an obidient dog trying to get browny points. maybe you're interpretation of locke is backwards and it is in fact the other survivors tha are changing... or i could just like locke... you must look at the whole picture from every angle.

Locke said it himself - crazy people think they're getting saner. The man's convinced he's the only person who understands the Island, and maybe that's true, but one way or the other, his arrogance cost a life. A whiny, sister-obsessed pretty boy's life, but a life nonetheless.

Laying the burden on himself my ass. He just likes that he's the Island's chosen one, and if he shared his speshul secret with the others, they might try and inject some rational thought into the equation. Can't have that.

Still love Sawyer's glasses.

One thing about "The Journey" was that I saw Charlie throw (drop?) his heroin into the toilet, presumably to flush it out. I don't remember that happening first time round.

I thought last night's episode was really good. The scenes between Locke and Sayid played out well, partly thanks to some top notch dialogue, but also because they're two of the best actors in the show.

I enjoyed last nights show (although 'The Journey' was a bit pointless and boring for those who have folloewed the series). There was some good humour in the ep., especially surrounding Claire's baby (btw I like Turnip-Head as a name for the kid). Sayid's backstory showed a bit more of his character and there were quite strong scenes between him and Locke.

Locke seems a bit lonely and isolated now, even Walt wouldn't talk to him. If it was "The Island" that took away the use of his legs which meant Boone climbed into the plane and got killed, is this a new test for Locke. Everyone is suspicious of him and he has lost a lot of trust among the survivors, especially since he has not been getting more boar for them.

The end should be interesting, 3 episodes to explain about a dozen storylines.

I noticed on The Journey that Shannon translates "Il les a tué" as "It killed them all." But this could also mean "He killed them all." - Ethan maybe?
