Fixed.

I love how Locke is turning into a complete psychopath.

The grenade scene was great.

"Enjoy your breakfast!"

No short-term memory, maybe? His comment about "it's only 3 cards," made him sound frustrated not being able to remember what 3 cards were. He clearly has a screw loose somewhere.

Yeah. What was up with that? My first thought was that he was trying to remember the sequence after being shown the cards (we didn't see the start of that experiment, did we?) Maybe the island affects short term memory.

I guess it makes more sense that he was trying to predict. Either way, it was an interesting scene.

Yeah, they really telegraphed that one, which is unusual for Lost. Also telegraphed was how Sawyer's "betrayal" of Kate was secretly part of her plan. Still, the plot kept things moving forward, so all in all it wasn't a bad episode.

Yeah, I felt bad for Locke not being able to pick up on that one. I mean, did he really think that Sawyer would betray Kate like that?

I think Locke is losing his edge.

My wife and I both enjoyed Sawyer and Kate in bed.

He put a knife in a chick's back and stuck a grenade in someone's mouth with the pin pulled. I don't think he is losing his edge.

That scene made me think he is probably the guy in the coffin.

He is moving further and further away from redemption this guy...

Another Great Ep!

John Locke has been my favorite character since the first episode. Add the grenade bit to his list of Badass Deeds.

Kate "scoobydooed" Hurley. Montezuma walked right into that.

I think it's a problem with Daniel's short term memory. He's a pretty strange dude.

I think the trial happened in 2008. Jack said 2004 and then her mother said it had been four years. So that's why Aaron is about four (and looked it). Why the trial took place four years later I don't know. And that would mean that the season finale took place in like 2010 or beyond. The time warp theory may be in play. On Island it's 2004, but off it is 2008. That would make more sense for the trial, but not for Aaron's growth.

This would also explain the helicopter. When they land, I think the crew will say "where have you been, it's been days". And Lapadis will say, it's been like 20 minutes since we took off.

What's interesting is Kate must stay in California, so she really can't go back to the island or shes screwed.

Maybe so. But it seems to smack of desperation to me.

Thanks ... I was mixing them up based on Hurley's "You Scooby Doo'd me" comment

So would Miles asked for the money have anything to do with "the box" that Ben was telling locke about, i think last season. Remember ben said that it would grant anything you wanted and then brought forth lockes dad.

No, he was just using the "box' as a metaphore.

Why was the episode called "eggtown"? The only egg reference I heard was when Locke said "those are last 2 eggs"

I'm really liking this season. Each episode is getting more enjoyable. Sounds like not everyone is liking it as much, but it's working for me.

No way was the kid at the end 4 years old. 2 at the max.

I also heard "Eric" at the end, and it sounded clear enough to me that I didn't bother replaying it. Obviously, I went to bed thinking "what the hell? that sucked".

What's with Jack and company not demanding answers from Daniel and Charlotte? They find out Sayid/Des never made it there (yet), they wouldn't answer except for the emergency line, etc. If I'm Jack, I put a gun to their heads and demand to know more info from them, and I tell the woman on the freighter if she doesn't start talking to me about who they are, their mission, etc I'll kill both of em. But that's just me. They make the characters' thirst for knowledge from anyone who might know something (Ben, the Others, freighter people, etc) way too low for my liking.

Agree. No way is he older than 2. If it really has been 4 years... it must be Sawyer's kid rather than Claire's... unless we are dealing with a time warp.

[ot] I haven't seen her since she played the two Leah Brahms on TNG! Does she still have the mole?

Here's a question: Why did Jack testify for the defense before the prosecution presented its case? Doesn't the prosecution usually go first? Can you call a character witness early? (Actually three questions)

Locke's lost his mnd and is desperate. Reminds me of these qoutes from White Rabbit:

Was just reading the episode recap and notes at http://www.lostpedia.com/wiki/Eggtown , and it says:

"The Easter Egg Escapade: this children’s book, by John Michael Williams, was published in 1991. It tells the story of Eggtown, a peaceful village where rabbits and chickens live together in harmony until a band of thieving roosters conspire to steal all of Eggtown’s Easter Eggs. In order to retrieve the eggs, an unlikely group of heroes volunteers to go on the perilous journey. The ending features the redemption of Terrible Timothy Take-It, the leader of the thieving roosters."

EDIT: Must just have been a book on the shelf. And after reading the notes further:

"Egg-town is a pejorative term that refers to the days of bartering, during the Great Depression. A traveling salesman would have to barter his candy or tobacco or shoelaces for different commodities. A poor exchange would be for eggs, a relatively common item that is also highly perishable. Nobody wants to trade for eggs from a traveling salesman because they have their own, so the salesman who accepted an egg in exchange was forced to accept a bad deal. Salesmen would use the term like "If I were you I would stay away from Bogart. That's an egg-town." Of course, the lack of trust among salesman was also high, and it was likely that one salesman would lie to another about the quality of a town's customers to keep them for himself. Invariably, the second salesman ventures into Bogart only to find it is truly an egg-town. He is either persuaded to not visit a town that has good customers or is tricked into visiting a town that can only offer eggs. The term "egg-town" represents a deal with undesirable outcomes in either case."
