I don't usually download Lost (I wait till connorbeast does it) and even this week, with me at my parents' and him far, far away, I would normally have thought "well, I'll see it whenever"> But then I heard it was a Locke episode and it became obligatory to download it right away.


I couldn't love Locke more. Even if he was a werewolf. Well, I might love him slightly more if he was a werewolf, but it'd be a close thing. He's not somebody I expected to become my favourite character, but the actor - Terry Quinn? O'Quinn? - is amazing. I watched this completely spoiled and still cried when he realized his dad had used him.

And he so loves Boone! Yeah, all right, as a son, let me have my OTP. His nightmare is Boone leaving him! I loved him banging on the hatch, broken and sobbing and demanding to know why the island would do this to him. And then the light came on. Eek.

Double eek: "there were no survivors of flight 815". And the person sounded so certain - they didn't think that the flight was lost, but that there were no survivors. Is a month long enough for everybody to be declared dead? I guess a plane just vanishing would be big news, enough for the person to recognise the number, but still...

Other stuff:
- the jump-cutting dream sequence scared the crap out of me. "Theresa falls down the stairs. Theresa falls up the stairs." Could just be my crackpot theory, but I had to wonder if Boone was a 'special' kid like Walt and he caused Theresa's accident.
- plane full of heroin? Excellent. Point Charlie that way. I'm bad for wanting something awful to happen to Charlie. I quite like him, in small doses (love Dom and all, just 'meh' on Charlie). Mind you, I haven't see the last couple of episodes. connorbeast says he's mean to Hurley, and that means he is as dead in our sight.
- speaking of, not nearly enough Hurley or Sayid this week. Sadness.
- god, Sun's beautiful. So is Jin. Those two actors are never allowed to reproduce together in real life, okay? The child of such a union would be too pretty to exist.
- the JackKate&Sawyer Triad of Whiny Uselessness didn't irk me as much as usual, probably because there was mocking of Sawyer. And I found him almost hot in his glasses. I was very frightened.
- I love the scene with the detective (?) and Locke. "He may not even know you exist. This stuff isn't meant to be. It may feel that way, but this won't have a happy ending." Ooh. Talking about Locke's father, but also about the island (Locke's faith in the island - he sees it as God? His father has that line about being God...)
- two leaps in logic I made: another car hit Locke as he sat at the side of the road, costing him his legs. And the little boy at the start was Boone. (I had to retract this, since the little boy has dark eyes and Boone's are light grey. But I still like it, and it explains why there was no cameo from another castaway in his flashback.)

I think this was my favourite episode so far. Really need to watch it again, maybe skipping the flashbacks since they broke my heart. Lots of Locke is always a good thing.

And OOOOOH, now that you've said it, I will be deeply disappointed if somebody on this show isn't a werewolf :D

While Locke is my favourite candidate, I would settle for Sayid being a werewolf *g*
