What a great, great opening line for a Lost episode, delivered as only John Locke can do! Kind of sums up the whole show, I think.
And... wow. This show just keeps getting better and better this season! My reaction, after watching the season three premiere way back in October, was that so much information was being provided, I could barely take it in. And I think that's been the theme of the whole season so far. It's going to be a fantastic season to re-watch, when the DVDs come out in the Fall.
I'm looking forward to finding out just what this "box" really is, that has the ability to serve up whatever you want... including Locke's scummy father. Do the Others have hostages for each of the Losties, for occasions just like the one we watched?
I also loved the twist at the beginning of this week's flashbacks, where we naturally assume that the disability Locke's receiving support for is his physical one.
Vicki pointed out that Locke's gaining quite a reputation for blowing things up. He was responsible for the hatch imploding, and then the listening station going up... and now a submarine!
Making it so that we only have a week between episodes? Amazingly good idea!

Luke shared with me this humorous theory he read on a message board:
I think the whole show is a coma dream by Claire's mom. She's imaging a perfect life for her daughter, Gothy Teen --> Fashionista on a remote island with access to makeup and the latest fashion trends. Claire gets an older brother doctor, a healthy baby and a rock star boyfriend. Plus all the other attractive women are being killed off one by one, leaving Claire as the alpha female.
I thought last night's episode was absolutely amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed the Locke back story, and yes, when we realized that his disability was for depression (we only knew this when he stood up to leave!) I thought it was a pretty good twist.
And Jack giving Locke the Evil Eye at the end (upon the sub blowing up) made wish for a time machine to head off to next Wednesday night!
Re: the coma dream theory: yeah, that's a good 'un! Probably a little too close to the series finale of St. Elsewhere, but fun nonetheless. Shows someone was able to step outside the box and see things from a different perspective (not sure Charlie's much of a catch, though...)
Re: Jack and the evil eye to Locke: I thought this was a really good Jack episode, even though he wasn't the central character in it. When he told Kate that, if he got off the island, he was going to get help and come back for them, I said to Vicki, "He's the sort of guy who, if that happened, he'd spend the rest of his life trying to get back to that island..." Each of his scene's with Kate last night were edge-of-your-seat charged, for me. Hard to believe she'd waste her time with a zero like Sawyer, but at least Jack's still got Juliet.
Bad boy Sawyer for bad girl Kate...works for me. Jack will just have to settle for less, er..Juliet
