Dback Jon said:I loved last night's episode. I liked seeing Rose and Bernard's backstory, and giving names to a few of the extras. And I did get a little verklempt when Rose revealed she was dying, and when she revealed that the Island is what healed her, not the faith healer. However, it was a relief to see Rose back as her calm and sage self to Locke at the end.
While the story was a little slow, it revealed a number of things that I believe will be very important in the future - i.e. a group of the Losties that do NOT WANT to be rescued. This will lead to conflict in the group. Clearly, Rose/Bernard and Locke will be in the stay camp.
Kate is probably in that camp too since in the real world she's a fugitive from justice.
I had always assumed that was one reason Locke was the way he was, he knew getting off the island means he's back in a wheelchair. My guess is when he had his bout of weakness in his legs(prior to Boone dying) it was sort of a message being sent by the island or something reminding him, if you leave, you can't walk.
I'm wondering if Michael is for real or if he's somehow been brainwashed or something into suckering them into a trap, maybe the trap not Henry suggested before?
Lot of letdown for me last night the previews seem to promise more than they're delivering, but I'm still watching and still entertained.
