The falling 5 stories bit was great, previously I thought that paralysis occurred after he was hit by a car in a previous flashback ep.

After dragging along for sometime Season 3 is really starting to pick up (Like the one where Jack is fucking around in Thailand with Bai Ling, how fucking redundant was that?), the first great episode of the season was prolly the Desmond time travel one.

Hey guys... am I imagining something or is Locke's dad not meant to be dead? I thought in Season 1 or 2, Locke's flashback had him going to a funeral? Or was that another scam. Mem's a little fuzzy.

Great episode like.

Haha, your memory is a little fuzzy, Bisc. His dad faked his own death to avoid those two men who were after him due to a retirement con. They then visited Locke to see if he had seen his father since his 'death' and checked his bag to see if he had the money. Remember now?

Nah it wasn't Locke. The guy that fell down there was screaming, and stomach first.

Anyone seen S03E14?

As far as filler eps go, I thought this was a masterpiece. Targic love story, almost Shakespearean. It would make a great opera IMHO. :D

I didn't like it. In the official podcast, the producers said the monster's back in the next episode :D

Yep, I'd have to say that "Expose" was a completely fun filler episode that did nothing to move the plot forward. Still, I loved every minute of it. If only all of their filler eps were as fun and nasty as this one. :mrgreen:

Oh, and on a sidenote, for any viewers who are interested in seeing a "wider range" of the actor who plays Tom, there's a pic of him in the DVDMystery thread that I posted. ;)

Well, I'll've seen this episode in a little over an hour and fifteen minutes. Until then, use spoiler tags if you have to talk about it! :evil:

It was beautiful wasn't it? Especially the ending... paralysed!.

Cruel but they got what they deserved.

Billy Dee!
Actually, I'm not surprised he turned up in an episode, as he's recently worked with Josh Holloway on the newest Command & Conquer game.

Good ep, though. I did enjoy the gap filling even down to little things, like a visit to a bathroom. :)

Careful, Kurgan, someone might not have seen that episode but for some bizarre reason decides to view this topic which is used to talk about the latest episodes of Lost :roll: :D

I'm the only one who does that, so everyone can relax. I can't spoil something for myself. Or can I? :D

But overall, I thought it was a very lame episode. :(

Any reasons that you thought it lame/crap? (You can be as spoiler-tastic as you like; I've seen it :D)

Slightly above average but disappointing flashback, mediocre progession of the plot. The Hurley/Sawyer scenes were nice though. Didn't think much of the smoke monster - nothing we haven't seen before (apart from it can't get through the barrier).

Smoke monster scenes are NEVER boring. And actually it was something we hadn't seen before - it came out of the ground in THREE snakes, which then joined together into one mass. We did not know it could do that.

Ep 16, "One of Us" was rather good, I thought. A shame it's taken so long to get back to the type of episodes and writing that made us love LOST in the first place. I'm quite eager to see what happens next, but wonder how much of its viewership LOST has lost.

Oh, but one comment about Juliet:

I think she's playing both Ben & Others, as well as the Losties. It was a line she said to Ben in the episode, something about "I've always been on my own," or something like that.

One more little bit of speculation: I wonder how she felt about Ana Lucia offing Goodman? Was he more than just some side action to her? From her faraway look while she was eating in bed, I'd say he didn't really matter to her, but that's just me guessing.
