"the Man From Tallahassee"

Ben offers to give Locke some of the island's secrets if he calls off his destructive plan; Kate discovers that Jack has made a deal with the Others.

Our local paper (Tallahassee Democrat) had a small thing on it. Mostly that everytime this city is mentioned, it's in a negative light... (and most of the FSU students find it funny and true (Waffle houses and STDs ftw!))

So that means one of you Tallahassee-ers were responsible for Locke's accident? :p

Haha yup. Locke was crippled by a scientist from the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory down the street from me ;). I honestly wouldn't doubt that they chose this city based on that facility, considering the shows fixation on magnetic fields.

Can't wait! This episode was written by Jeff Pinkner and Drew Goddard, who seem second in the pecking order behind Damon and Carlton. Drew Goddard co-wrote "Flashes Before Your Eyes", so here's hoping it's another LOST classic.

An interesting thing to note is that the promos for this one haven't really been overblown, and there haven't been any promo pics released ... sounds like Damon and Carton have requested this low-key promotion from ABC. The last time they did this was when they requested that the twist ending for "Two For The Road" be kept from any promotions.

I don't even know why but I've become very interested again in Lost lately. Ever since it started back up after the break I think I've liked every single episode. And that was after HATING the show from the beginning of season 2 on.

Let's just say there is rumored to be a MAJOR LOST question answered tonight.

Here are your spoilers:

No quotes from last weeks haters?? :(

Trelach24, I don't blame you. Even though people have been dogging Lost pretty badly lately I think it's been better every week since it's return from haitus with the exception of the tattoo episode which I thought was one of the worst episodes of the entire run. :)

Can't wait for tonight. I've been waiting for locke's story since season 1

Nah, there were promo pics in the most recent EW (or was it TV guide, I forget). Anyway, the pics and the article made it very clear which Lost "question" will be answered tonight.

Also the comment about the strip malls is so true it seems they are adding them(and Wal Marts) all over the place recently. I wonder what they will make fun of tonight regarding Tallahassee.

I can't wait!

And I'm really don't have an idea about the MAJOR Lost question that is going to be answered tonight. I mean besides why Locke is in wheelchair, but I don't consider that a major question. :p

Looking forward to this one. I am almost enjoying the return of LOST almost as well as I enjoyed season 1. :D

Seems that things could be ready to really change loyalties of the survivors and send the stories in a whole other direction.

Glad that I am actually looking forward to this episode. That hasn't happened in a long time.

Booooo! I say I can't wait each week, and then afterwards I say I enjoyed it. We need to make Lost threads a poll each week: "Can you wait?" Yes or no answer, with public results. Then those that vote Yes can be chastised if they complain about it afterwards. :D

The last 3 episodes have been excellent, but the 2 before that were pretty lame. Good to see its going up and not down (so far.)

"Stranger In A Strange Land" was pretty lame ... but I don't see how anyone could call the mind-bending "Flashes Before Your Eyes" anything less than at least decent. I thoght it was one of the best episodes of the show's entire run.

Wow, that's some subtle spoilering you've employed there. Other likely verbs: embarrassed, head-butted, goosed, ...

So this is the week we finally find out the answer to the great Locke mystery everyone has been asking...

"How did Locke lose his hair?"

(This one is right up there with the great mystery of "Where did Jack get those cool tattoos?")

;)

Surprised there are no early postings from people that have seen the show. It ended about half hour ago here, and here are some quick spoilers:

The show is one big madlib anyway.

Jack sporting a new tattoo on his forearm?

I noticed that too... who knows. I can't speak for the overall episode yet, but so far this episode has been very well directed/acted, nice change considering the ups and downs lately.
