Open the blast doors 3PO!

This week’s episode, apparently entitled “Lockdown” featured heavy elements of reason numbers 1, 3, 5 and 7 of why the show sucks.  It was hugely #1 type show; nothing happening.  We thought oh boy, these hatch doors are closing and there is a secret map.  Also the three intrepid explorers were hinted to be ambushed in the previous episode, but alas, by the end of the show nothing really happened with all this.  We were left back where we started; a bunch of people in the hatch yelling at the balloon dude. 

We also got to learn that Locke, other than having his kidney stolen by his father, now had his father fake his own death in order to avoid some bad gents who he stole money from.  Then he proceeded to foil Locke’s attempt to propose to his girlfriend and Locke ends up losing her too.   That all goes along with #5, in that it really didn’t add much to his character.  Ya, the guy had a messed up life, we got that much already.  We still don’t know how he got paralyzed, but we are now safe in the knowledge that he was one heck of a good home inspector.

Lastly, we were treated to the World Poker Tour of coconuts.  There was staring a-plenty (#3) during this tension filled match.  Especially Sawyers patented crooked head, half eyebrow raised, smirking pissed off stare.  It made for some riveting TV. 

We can only hope that next week’s episode lives up to the previews and someone is actually shot, but my guess is no one will be.
