So let me picture the writer’s meeting that led to this show. “OK, we are in the 5th of 6 seasons, we have over 50 characters all with loose ends we need to tie up. What should we do? Hey, how about we introduce some NEW characters!” “And let’s have those characters act just like all the other ones, you know, hide things from each other, don’t answer questions, hell, we can even get them to cock a gun!”
The whole Locke thing was pretty anticlimatic being that:
a) We already knew Locke would die.
b) We already knew Locke would live.
I guess my biggest problem with the whole episode is that it wasn’t even the first time. Ben already killed Locke! Furthermore, it didn’t work the first time. So now we have Ben killing Locke again, and once again it didn’t work. What’s the point? Ah screw it!

Jack said it best to sum up this episode, “This is ridiculous”. At which point all of America shook their heads in agreement. They start and end the show with the same scene which makes the whole middle pretty much irrelevant. It’s not even worth recaping.
There is something I have been meaning to address. The biggest problem I have with the show now, in fact it should be placed on the original top 10 list, is that no one ever answers a question. If there is ever a chance to advance the plot by one character explaining something to another, they pass. Then the other person never even has a problem with it. Need some examples?
Jack: “Hey where’s Aaron?”
Kate: “Never ask me that again!”
Jack: “Okie dokie”
Jack: “Hey hurley, why are you on the plane?”
Hurley: “It doesn’t matter”
Jack: “Ok, I’m fine with that”
There are at least 5 of those per episode, and they seem to be growing in frequency. So now we have the sucky plot element that will heretofore be called “the non-answer”. These can easily be counted and tallied each episode, much like “the gun cocking” is presently. Actually that would make a good drinking game.

Say what you want about tonite’s episode, but at least we got sweet Smokey back in all his CGI glory! I could watch that little guy all day. In fact, I think a Smokey spin off series should happen.
What else? Lots of quantum leap jumps, nosebleeds, and for those keeping track at home, I think I counted no less than 5 gun cockings in the first 30 minutes alone. Woohoo, that’s a new record! Loved seeing the donkey wheel again too. I am really enjoying the show again, now that I accepted the absurdity of it all see it as a fun comedy romp each week!

All of could think of when watching tonite’s episode was enough already! Enough of the Penny boat flashbacks, we get it – you decided to lie. It’s not important. Enough with the birth scenes – it’s almost every episode now. Enough of the quantum leap moments. Enough with yet another jungle trek – seriously! Enough with Sun’s little revenge plot – its boring and we all know she won’t shoot Ben so what’s the point?
Now brace yourself for an actual positive comment: I like Sayid’s storyline and his ass kicking ways, however unlike they may be. Other than that, a fairly forgettable episode, don’t you think?
