And tonight's episode is worth writing about. Locke's killing the guy with the eye-patch was a nice, early, unexpected twist. And, in general, excellent progress was made - meaning, moving a little closer to answers - on both fronts, out on the island with the Locke-Kate-Sayid party, and back in camp with Claire, Charlie, and Desmond.
Locke was the most interesting of the people out in the field - revealing a killing-instinct I didn't quite see before. Next week's show promises some answers, including what put him in the wheelchair.
And Claire and Charlie have made some progress - Desmond has told Claire at least a little about his future visions regarding Charlie. Rumors on the Web say that he actually is time travelling - not just having visions - and, well, as the author of The Plot to Save Socrates, that would be fine with me.
Claire's backstory was also excellent. Jack's father is hers. And this raises the question - how on Earth, why then, did they both end up on the doomed plane? I'm convinced that these kinds of coincidences hold the key to what's really going on in Lost (see my essay, Lost: Keys to What's Really Going On).
For the first times in weeks, I'm really looking forward to next Wednesday night...
Sometimes it pays to have a little illogical faith in a television show...
PS - Wow, what a great last scene with Jack! How could he have become so friendly with his captors so quickly ... He didn't look like he was pretending...
