Thought I'd post this a day early in case any of you wanted to chat about the upcoming episode.

Deux Ex Machina
gs: Swoosie Kurtz (Emily) Kevin Tighe (Cooper) Tyler Burns Laudowicz (Kid) George O'Hanlon (Eddie) Lawrence Mandley (Frainey) Julie Ow (Nurse)

Locke begins to suffer physical difficulties as he and Boone try to find a way into the hatch; Jack is reluctant to offer assistance when Sawyer begins to experience excruciating headaches. In this episode we learn how Locke was paralyzed, interrelating with the events around the hatch.

I haven't watched ANY spoilers for this episode yet

yay! I heard that the preview thing was really really spoilerific, so I'm glad I didn't see it. And nobody try to spoil me either! I haven't GONE through an episode without those yet

well... I DID see a bit of a preview for tomorrow's episode this afternoon, and I saw a certain thing that gave a lot of the plot away... which sucks, but as soon as I recognised it was talking about lost I plugged my ears and closed my eyes for the rest, so at least I don't know TOO much.

I can't WAIT for this one. Locke = ABSOLUTE BEST CHARACTER EVER.

Okay... simply stating that was the best episode ever would be a tarnish on what this thing deserves. Oh my God.... that was.... wow.....

I wouldn't go so far as to call it the best episode ever. But it was pretty damned good.

The nightmare sequence scared the crap out of me. I'm sort of pissed off at Locke. No, a lot pissed off at Locke. He forgot to mention to Boone in his dream that he was blood soaked. What a dick! I'm sorry, but if he believes everything that the GD island shows him, I'm sure he KNEW that Boone would get hurt - and yet he still involved him. And it's not like going after the plane helped him get into the hatch anyway.

Stupid little bald crybaby man!

Edited to add:

Re: Locke. He lies too much. He keeps too many secrets. He speaks in too many riddles. And it speaks volumes of his character that instead of sticking around to help Boone he goes to cry over the hatch - we know what he cares about, and its not the other people on this island. Boone has been his right-hand man and he led him into danger without at least warning him first, and he doesn't even care whether or not he's okay. So if he can't even do right by his closest island pal, then he's not to be trusted at all.

Side note - I loved the Jack/Sawyer interaction and the Michael line about knowing the words, "faster idiot!"

OMG! That was the best episode ever! I love Locke, and I guess we know who dies now. Oh and Sawyer has STD's, wow! I was laughing my butt off during his scene's. "Looks like Harry potter got steam rolled" I love Hurley!

Ahhhhh, I don't think I'm going to be able to wait a week, does anyone know if theres a place where you could download episodes that haven't aired yet? If you do please don't tell me, because that would be bad, and I'd just have to wait even longer for an episode that I haven't seen and.... anyway, I think i'm gonna go now... I love Locke he is one of the bestest characters ever! peace out my homies

Here's my response on another board to someone who didn't like my "angry at Locke" post:

I couldn't agree more, Hobbes. That was the best episode EVER!!!

(for more detailed ep squeeage, go to my LJ (http://www.livejournal.com/users/ringwench/97723.html) I don't feel like retyping everything here)

Locke is AWESOME.

Also, I'm with you on the Boone thing. If anyone has to go, I'm glad it's going to be him. I'm interested in everyone else too much for them to die!

Aside from being an AMAZING ep, I'm so happy that I have SO much more material for my "Clint Eastwood" Locke vid

!

The whole "If anyone has to go" thing bugs me. I really don't want anyone to die. Anyone! So it doesn't matter who it was, I would still be upset about it.

Well no I didn't mean that you couldn't use that phrasing. What bugs me is that it's like we're supposed to be "thankful" that it's not this character or that character or something. I mean yeah, that's true to an extent. But as I said in the BLD thread, I'm still miffed that there has to be a BLD to begin with. Especially with rumors of bringing on new cast members...

Hobbes · Posted: Thu Mar 31, 2005 4:08 am Post subject:

I don't find Locke as being what you are saying he is right now at all... it seems to me that Boone getting hurt hurt LOCKE even more than anything. He lost all hope from it. He was crying as he went back to the hatch. He doesn't feel like he has a choice of whether or not to follow his visions, they're what he thinks is the island telling him what to do. And they're making him obsessed with the hatch as well. It doesn't seem like a regular person would obsess over that hatch that much, so I think there has to be a lot deeper reason for this all. We still haven't had any clue as to what happened with that meeting between Locke and the monster, you know. for all we know, he could have been posessed or something, though I certainly hope not...

And then... if YOU had a vision of someone covered in blood chanting creepy things while other creepy things happened, then wouldn't you be reluctant to tell them that fact....? whether to protect Boone from being scared, or to protect Locke's own interests, I don't think it's very fair for you to just judge his intentions that instantly KC

he might have just been doubting his vision a bit, anyway... I personnally thought the blood was a reference to what happened to Boone once when he was little until the thing came true...
Hopefully you at least enjoyed the backstory of the show

Of course I did Hobbes. Don't be mad cause I think that your favorite character is a f***tard. I heart Locke, I really do. He's just a dumba** that's all.

Don't even get me started on Charlie. Who didn't miss him in this episode? I didn't!

ETA - Just because a show upsets me doesn't mean I didn't love it! This was a GREAT episode. How can you tell? Well let me just check my Upset-o-Meter...
