Marc B. Wrote:It was a rather weak episode. I'm just hoping it's a hiccup since we're in the middle of the season. Next weeks looks rather good.
And, maybe I'm starting to show my 27 years, but do women really ask questions like, "You hitting that?"
Anyway my theory on why they wrote this episode: Claire's baby is going to be taken which will push Claire back to Charlie because he knew it was coming. And I can see a line delivered such as "You said they'd take him! How did you KNOW?!"
That's my theory at least.
Scott Hajek Wrote:I was more bothered by Locke's extreme violence toward Charlie. Why did he need to beat him like that?
Marc B. Wrote:Now that didn't bother me at all. Locke has been a very patient friend to Charlie, given him numerous chances, and yet Charlie messed up. Charlie has started to look a little more insane towards the Claire and the baby lately and I think starting the fire to take the baby (endangering the entire camp in the process) was the final straw.
Haven't you ever had a friend that messed up several times and you wished you could beat some sense into that person? Well, Locke did.
Scott Hajek Wrote:One good smack would have done it. Not three. And the stitches? That looked more painful than the beating.
I do agree that he needed a good smacking, especially after putting the entire camp in danger. But, it just makes Locke more dangerous in actuality rather than perception.

And Hurley weighs three hundred pounds. The signs are there, folks. Look for them, especially when you've nothing better to do during a boring episode.

P.S. My vhs recorder cut off when Locke was placing the Mary statuettes on the shelf. Did I miss anything of significance after this scene other than the previews for next week? Thanks ahead of time.
Scott Hajek Wrote:I didn't see that before. And, YOU used three examples. The signs are even here!
The only thing of significance is that Locke changed the combination again and put the statues on the shelf. If he was so concerned about Charlie that he needed to make a decision for him, why did he keep the heroin? Is Locke a junkie, too?
