xadrian! +2 for making a D&D reference. lol

With the Dharma station named the lamp post, it really made me think about the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. where the character’s in Narnia are on a different time than people in the real world. (i.e 1 day in the real world = a few months in the fantasy world). And the Lamp post was a weird symbol of something brought over from the real world, and placed into the Fantasy one. cept this would all be reversed.
does that make sense? just a thought.

Even if you were to get rid of all the island mythology and genre elements, episodes like this make Lost stands head and shoulders above any other network drama in terms of character stuff. The moment when Jack reads the words “I wish you had believed me” WOW! so poignant. I think when Lost is all finished it will be remembered for episodes like tonight’s not stuff like The Constant.

Jack: How can you read?

Ben: My mother taught me.

Ben rolls a natural 20 for SNAP!

I was totally bored by this episode, and I like Jack.

The ratings for Lost have been steadily sliding down but they actually leapt up for this one. I’ll talk about why I think they did on the podcast tonight.

alex, i agree with you. i loved it for the reasons jeff didn’t. the sadness with jack and locke’s body were overwhelming to me… the tension of the pendulum room. the defeat of getting on that plane to go back and not have a life. i don’t know. i love this ep.

You know Jeff, it’s funny. Some of the reasons you criticized are the reasons I loved this one. It felt so different. The dialogue was great (nice to see Damon and Carlton writing two in a row) and I was really into every scene. I didn’t even mind Kate drama because she’s so miserable (take that you tree climbing drama queen). I found this episode delightful to watch and am really looking forward to TLaDoJB next week.

PS. Did anyone else want to see that pendulum flatted Desmond as he was walking back and forth.
