Locke wanted to get out of there, as he was locked in by blast doors, so he tried to lift up the blast doors, after he got his legs stuck under there, he tells the guy to go through the vents to press the button. What I'm saying is wouldn't it have been easier for Locke to just go through the vents to get out in the first place, instead of trying to lift up a blast door.

It's been suggested he's the man who conned Sawyer's parents.

This has been my theory as well since the first episode with the Anthony Cooper character. It's supported more by this episode, with Cooper specifically using the word "con" when describing why the guys were after him.

Great episode! He-Who-Is-Not-Henry-Gale is fucked. Locke's promise is null and void since he gave it to "Henry Gale." The actor who played him did a fine job.What else has he been in?

Question for those that recorded.Did the plane flying above Locke have a Dharma sign on the tail? Can anyone verify that?

I was half expecting Locke to get shot in the back by mob goon con guys. Maybe the writers don't even have a story for why he was wheelchair-bound.

Well, considering it's one of the last big questions that needs to be answered in a flashback, i'm guessing they're going to hold onto it for a while.

anyone else get a laugh out of how easy it was for Locke to just go into the bank and access the box?

so, all stations lead to the center ... so the island is just one big tootsie roll pop .... How many Lockes does it take to get to the center?

There has to be something that distracts people so that the supply drop can be made. Since it was parachuted in, there wouldn't be any guarantee of where it would land (to some extent).

Yet another black man crashes and dies on the island. There was a black man in every group of crashees, Michael with the first half of 815, Eko with the second half, the nigerians, the baloon man. Shouldn't Eko and Michael have been dead as well? Eko from the first attack where he killed 2 of them and Michael from the raft attack. Maybe it's an island owned by the KK K? Besides Walt have any black people been taken alive?

But if they were supposed to be quarantined, then how would they go out to get the food?

I'm so angry I missed this!! Arrrr!

That's assuming the vents lead to the outside, which I doubt they do.

Great episode.

I loved how Jack conned Sawyer from the moment he walked up to the poker table. Gave Hurley & Kate tips and started to walk away like he was actually leaving, knowing Sawyer would take the bait.

when I want the guns ... I'll get the guns.

great line!

Every time I see Locke with that hair, he reminds me of a grown up Stewie Griffin (in some future scenes, he has very similar hair)

I have a feeling we'll see what happened with 'Henry' and the button at the beginning of the next episode. Locke's gonna have to come clean with all the info he has or that Other is dead.

Great episode !

I noticed Nadia too when Locke inspected her house.
I too thought the 2 thugs were going to shoot Locke in the back.
What happened to the $200,000 in the motel ?

I guess "Henry Gale" didn't expect Sayid to dig up the grave.
It's a good thing Sayid went with AL.
How does he talk his way out of this one ?

Not enough Kate and Hurley lately.
Can't wait until next week.

Are Michael and Walt off the show now or off filming other things or what?

I know Walt is on Earl tonight.


Sayid said he dug up the grave.

When I was watching this I was shocked. An episode of lost where something actually happened and pushed the story along. First time since November I think. Seriously though, sweet episode...I hope this trend continues next week.

Nice. Didn't think about that until you mentioned it, but I have to agree with you.

Ok, so is this a script goof or a comment on how blind Locke is when it comes/came to his "father"?

Pa Locke: "here's a key to my safe deposit box... keep some, bring the rest to me at the hotel... oh and john, if i don't see you again, helen's dead"

One day later

Pa Locke: "hey, john, thanks for the money! who was that woman w/ you at my funeral?"

I thought he said, "if I don't see you again, I'll understand." ???

Yep. that was it.

Great episode. I was starting to second guess myself about Henry Gale there near the end......

I am really beginning to hate the flashbacks. enough already!

He did say "I'll understand"


Great episode!!!

I think it's pretty clear that Anthony Cooper is the "Sawyer" who conned our Sawyer's parents. Great addition to the mythology... and I have a feeling we haven't seen the last of the mobsters or that $200,000. I'm almost sure a future Locke episode will continue this thread and lead to him being paralyzed (savage beating for trying to cross gangsters anyone?). His father really fucked him over...
