He hasn't been ...God, my heart aches for Locke. He hasn't been the most valiant or heroic character for a while now (Maybe since mid season 2), but I can't help but root for the guy whenever I see him. A recurrent theme in his character is his refusal of being told what he can't do. I don't really like fakeouts, but I really do hope that Locke's death is not real. (On another note, his Motif is my absolute favorite, and "Locke'd out again" is my favorite piece from the soundtrack). <br /><br />Could Faraday be Charlotte's father? It would make sense considering his absolute devotion to her. Faraday does not really strike as a "Love at first sight" kind of guy. Also, he has to be an other, right? He looks as old as he was in that Dharma flashback a few episodes back.

It was the episode where Mr. Ecko started having dreams and was helping John Locke (I apologize for not knowing the exact episode name). He then goes to visit a family of a young woman who drowned but then came back to life a day later. The reason I bring this up is watching it now I took notice that the girls name was Charlotte.... <BR/><BR/>Was she traveling in time when they thought she drowned?? She later then goes on to tell Mr. Ecko about his brother Yemi.<BR/><BR/>Has anyone else noticed this?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-23662299706360566712009-02-16T20:53:00.000-05:002009-02-16T20:53:00.000-05:00Ah ha!

And wondering how the french mans arm stayed in exactly the same place when Jin moved through time. Wouldn't weather conditions or animals cause it to move somewhere ? Or it get buried or something.<BR/><BR/>I felt sad for Charlotte but I wasn't emotionally invested in her story enough to get really upset. Although I am now wondering if Richard is her father. <BR/><BR/>My favourite part of this episode was Sawyer and Jin hugging. Very cute.

The producers of Lost have asserted that Geronimo Jackson was a genuine, but obscure, 1970s rock band, which released one album entitled Magna Carta. Aside from sources relating to Lost, there is no evidence for the existence of this band.<BR/><BR/>In "The Hunting Party", a Geronimo Jackson album is found by Charlie and Hurley while they are going through all of the gramophone records in The Swan. The band is also referenced in the episodes "The Whole Truth","Further Instructions", "This Place is Death", a poster in John Locke's locker in "Cabin Fever" and at the Hugo birthday party in "There's No Place Like Home".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-31485786385270737142009-02-13T20:47:00.000-05:002009-02-13T20:47:00.000-05:00I didn't like it as much as you did Billie, since ...I didn't like it as much as you did Billie, since the episode was so choppy. On one hand, it was plotted like a Jin/Sun episode, and then the latter half suddenly devolved into a Charlotte episode. I think it could have been better for being two seperate episodes; One with Jin/Rousseau and the Oceanic Six, and the second a classic flashback episode centering around Charlotte ending with her death.<BR/><BR/>But I guess I just wanted more Charlotte...<BR/><BR/>And Meredith, if I may? Geronimo Jackson was a singer from the 70's -- though I might be thinking of Jethro Tull. And Rousseau mentioned Montand's arm in the second last episode of the Season One Finale, when they entered the "Dark territory".<BR/><BR/>Also Billie, did you notice that Nadine disappeared like Cindy the Flight attendant did in The Other 48 Days, as the Tallie's approached the camp? Maybe she might turn up again, like Cindy did, intergrated into the Other's camp.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-86889436415279532092009-02-13T20:02:00.000-05:002009-02-13T20:02:00.000-05:00Great review, Billie.
