LOST
Further Instructions
I'm loving Lost this season! This episode is my favorite so far. Of course there have only been three so it's not hard to be the favorite. This was a Locke-centric episode so all the flash backs were about him. As usual I will give you a brief summary of the opening scene then I will break it down into characters. This week we will deal with "Locke's flashback", "Lock/Charlie's wacky island adventures", "meanwhile back at camp" and the" Desmond/Hurley equation". As usual, click pix for lager view!
Opening Scene
We open on a close up of Locke's eye. This scene is very reminiscent of Jack's introduction in the pilot episode. When Locke looks to the side instead of seeing Vincent the dog he sees a naked Desmond running through the brush. Locke realizes he has lost his voice.
Then Eko's Jesus stick falls from the sky and almost hits Locke smack in the face. Eko is in trouble and Locke knows it!
Locke/Charlie/Eko's Wacky Island Adventures
Locke freaks the Hell out and decides to rip the tarp off a shelter (I hope it was his). Charlie and Claire sees him do this and Charlie decides to find out where he has been. Apparently Locke has been missing for a day. I'm assuming this is the second day after the hatch was destroyed.
Locke tries to mime his way through a conversation with Charlie. I don't know what was more annoying: (A) Locke's miming being about as vague as he could make it or (B) Charlie's really dumb guesses about what Locke was talking about (C) no one is acknowledging that Charlie has a full-on mullet. In the end Charlie figured out that Locke needed to build a sweat lodge so he could "speak to the island."
Locke asks Charlie to "stand guard" after he finally gets a piece of paper and a sharpie to communicate. DUH. Locke eats that nasty crap he gave to Boone way back in the first season and has a cool hallucination. I'm going to try to make this as specific as I can:
First we see Boone in the sweat lodge next to Locke. He tells Locke he will need his wheelchair where they are going.
The next thing we know Locke is in the wheelchair and Boone is pushing him through the Sydney International Airport. Boone tells Locke that he needs to clean up the mess he made and that someone needs his help.
He points to Claire, Charlie and baby Aaron. They are acting like a happy little family standing in line at the ticket counter. Boone says they are safe...for now. Then Locke points to Sun and Jin (they seem to be annoying each other and Sayid (who is in line behind them) touches Jin on the shoulder and points off in the distance. Boone says that Sayid is taking care of them.
Locke notices that Hurley is behind the counter taking tickets and pressing the infamous numbers into the computer.
Locke sees Desmond riding the escalator with two cute flight attendants. Boone tells him that Desmond is helping himself.
Locke and Boone survey the rest of the airport. Locke sees Kate and Sawyer in the security line (Jack is close by but separated from them).
Jack is being frisked by a security person with a metal detector. It is Other: Ben. Boone tells Locke that he can't help them until he cleans up his mess.
Next we see Boone at the top of these really tall escalators. Locke is at the bottom in the wheelchair. He crawls to the steps and rides them up. He crawls off and ends up in a puddle of blood. When he looks up Boone is tore up and covered in blood. Locke finds the Jesus stick and realizes he needs to help Eko. Well DUH! The Jesus stick almost knocked your head off when you woke up in the jungle. Did you really have to have your little acid trip to figure out Eko was the one that needed help. This sort of thing is exactly why Locke infuriates me!
When he realized it is Eko that needs help a polar bear attacks him. He snaps out of it and tells Charlie (now he has his voice back) that he is going to go save Eko from a polar bear. Charlie tells him that he will go too even though he hates him. Locke tells him to stay because people that hang out with him end up getting hurt (amen to that). Charlie tags along anyway and they go in search of the polar bear.
They find the spot where the hatch used to be. It is now a huge crater. It appears that the hatch "imploded" when Desmond through the fail safe. They find a jacked up boar and Locke says that it means the bear is close by. Then the bear chases them. They end up in a quiet clearing and they hear the bear again. Locke acts too quickly (again) and throws a knife in the direction of the noise. It hits metal and we see the metal was Hurley's canteen. Yay! Hurley's back from Othersville!!! Hurley tells them the Kate/Jack/Sawyer/Others story and they send him toward the camp(warning him about the Polar bear at the last minute).
They finally find a creepy cave and Locke goes in by himself. He finds a toy truck and a bunch of bones (there is also a Dharma T-shirt there). Further in he finds Eko all jacked up and bloody! The bear grabs Eko and tries to drag him deeper in the cave but Locke takes a can of hairspray and a lighter and makes a homemade flame thrower. He burns the bears face really bad and takes Eko to Charlie.
Later Charlie goes to find water and Locke apologizes to an unconscious
Eko for being a dick wad last season. Eko wakes up and tells him he can still save Jack/Kate/Sawyer from the Others. He tells Locke, "you are a hunter" and passes out. Locke and Charlie take him back to camp.
We meet two new cast members who help Locke with Eko. I have a feeling we will be seeing more of them! This will sum up in the Back at camp and Hurley sections.
Locke's Flashback
Locke picks up a young hitchhiker (Eddie) on a old highway. It is raining and they ride off in Locke's pick up. It stops raining suddenly. They get pulled over by a police officer who makes Locke show him what is in the bed of the truck. There are tons of guns but Locke has papers for all of them. They are perfectly legal.
Locke takes Eddie home for dinner and we find out Locke has been living on a commune. Everyone seems nice (in that Others kind of way) and Eddie chooses to join "the family" . Some time later Eddie starts asking about this guarded green house where they keep delivering fertilizer. He tells Locke he knows it is a bomb they are building in there and he wants in on it. Locke laughs and says he will ask the leaders about it.
He goes to the greenhouse later and the guard lets him in. It is a little chaotic in there. The leaders are trying to pack up the weed that they are growing! They chastise Locke for bringing that boy to them and they show him a file (turns out Eddie is a cop). Locke had been played yet again. He promises to "take care of it."
The next time we see Locke, he and Eddie are hunting. When Eddie turns his back to Locke, Locke takes aim on him. Eddie freaks for a second and then starts answering Locke's questions. Yes. The feds targeted Locke because they knew he would be the easiest to fool (basically). Locke gets ready to shoot Eddie and Eddie starts to say the exact same things to Locke that Colleen said to Sun last week. It was sort of creepy. "You're not a killer Locke." He tells Locke that he is a farmer not a hunter and then walks away. I don't think Locke shoots him but it was sort of left open to interpretation.
The Hurley/Desmond Equation
Hurley has been left by Locke/Charlie and is freaking out about the Others and the bear. He hears noise and starts to freak. It isn't the bear...it's naked Desmond! He gives Desmond a t-shirt to wear and leads him back to camp. When he mentions Locke/Charlie Desmond says that they are ok because they are going to find Jack/Sawyer/Kate. Hurley tells him that they aren't and that they are going for Eko. Desmond asks, "...what about his big speech?" Hurley thinks the guy is a nutty naked freak!
Meanwhile, back at camp...
Locke/Charlie deliver Eko. Hurley delivers Desmond and the news that the Others have kidnapped Jack/Kate/Sawyer. Then Locke gives a big speech about going to save their people from the Others. Hurley looks a little shocked and then sees Desmond throwing rocks into the ocean.
(whew!)
Questions for you to think about this week:
1) Eddie had on a Geronimo Jackson t-shirt. The only time we have seen Geronimo Jackson mentioned has been in relation to the hatch and on the Hanso Foundation website. Is Eddie an Other or somehow related to Dharma?
2) What exactly happened to Locke/Eko/Desmond between the time the hatch imploded and them waking in the jungle a day later?
3) If the hatch imploded then how the Hell did Desmond (who was underneath it) survive at all? And why is he the only naked one? And what's up with his new found psychic abilities?
4) Who the Hell are these new people? Don't you love it when they introduce new people like they have always been on our minds!?! I feel sorry for Nikki (the girl)! She has on a red/orange shirt and that never goes well on Lost. She's also blond. My advice to her is to stay away from guns! She may bite the big one soon!
5) Does the polar bear have anything to do with the "incident" that happened on the island mentioned in the training movies? There were an awful lot of bones in that cave. Not to mention the toy truck and Dharma t-shirt.
Ok that's it for now! See ya next week!
