The Lost running diary: 1.03 - 1.04
Tabula Rasa
Jack looks in shrapnel guy's pocket to find out Kate is the criminal. DUN DUN DUN!!!
Jack, man of science, tells Hurley that the thing in the forest is not a dinosaur because dinosaurs are extinct. Hurley, man of the obvious, says shrapnel guy is dying. High comedy once again.
"That's [the medicine] is inside the plane. That's where the bodies are. They're all, like, dead." Ah, Hurley.
Charlie first really interacts with Claire with Locke's wheelchair and says "Whoever had this is better off than we are." He's probably right, Locke is all crazy faithful now and thinks this is the best thing that ever happened to him.
It's raining again. Kate went into shrapnel guy's tent and got choked by him, but no one has died yet. Though Kate asked if Jack could put him out of his misery.
Quick answer to yesterday's question of what Locke said to Walt: Walt says Locke said a miracle happened to him.
Ah yes, Michael says he's getting the dog back when the rain stops. So of course, the rain stopped. No one died, but shrapnel guy comes close and I believe dies later in the episode.
I've noticed a rather liberal use of the term "the others" in these first few episodes in reference to the other people who were on the plane. I know it means nothing, but common, you can't do that to all us hardcore fans who look for everything.
Remember in season 1 where they could run concurrent plot lines at the same time in the same episode? Like when Locke could find Walt's dog and have that relationship develop between Locke and Michael while Jack tried to save shrapnel guy? When not everything that Jack or someone else did happened in a vacuum they call "The Hatch?" Those were good times.
In the final scene, we see Charlie change his letters on his hands from FATE to LATE. We also see Locke look rEdiculously creepy, more creepy than anyone one man should ever look.
Walkabout
I remember really liking this episode; it's about Locke if you forgot. I think it's cool how Locke's cut over his right eye, which makes him look extra creepy, slowly disappears over the show as Locke gets less creepy (though not that less creepy does not always mean less weird).
Locke gives a speech to the entire island about hunting, opens up the creepy suitcase of pyscho knives, then flashes back to his box company cubicle where someone calls him up and calls him colonel. Seriously, we never know what's going on with this show.
I wish I had a friend who spoke Korean to translate all the things Sun says while everyone thinks she doesn't speak English. I bet when Michael hand gestures to her if she'll watch Walt she replies "You have really funny hair, I'll like it better next season until you kill a few of the tallies."
Locke is evidently with one Helen before he goes on the Walkabout. I don't think we know who that is.
Oh I remember who Helen is now. He's on the phone with her in this scene that just came on. He pays to talk to her. He asks her to go with him and she says no, because, well, he's a customer. Wow, he pays $90 an hour.
I forgot that in this episode Locke sees the beastly mechanical thing that tears down trees. We never really hear much about that thing in the second season.
Jack sees his father for the first time in this episode. Creepy...
The final scene in this episode is when the burn the fuselage and Claire reads off a bunch of the names. I was listening specifically for Gary Troupe, author of the book Bad Twin. His name was not read.
