Charlie's date Lucy mentions that her dad is out of town looking to buy a paper company in Slough. This is a reference to the British show "The Office" (2001) which took place at a paper company in Slough. more

"Audience, let's repeat a couple of points: Charlie is very addicted to heroin, and Ethan's people are mean.", 17 July 2008
Author: AdnanZ from thecinemajournal.blogspot.com

"Homecoming" is two unrelated episodes in one. Damon Lindelof, normally capable of writing scripts with real flow, penned "Homecoming", an episode with a hopelessly boring and completely pointless Charlie flashback, and an involving if flawed mythology-centric island story involving Ethan and Scott (or is that Steve?).

"Homecoming" is one of the episodes I tend to avoid watching too many times. It has several iconic scenes that one remembers so well, but virtually everything outside those iconic scenes is mediocre. Charlie's flashback does nothing but reiterate that he's struggling with addiction, and it is horrifically poorly-written by Lindelof, easily the worst work I've seen from him on this show.

The on-island events with Ethan's threats and Claire's return are fairly enjoyable, but hugely inconsistent, with some of the dialogue frankly making me cringe. The episode is directed terribly by Kevin Hooks, continuing the severe lack of visual quality in the first season of "Lost", where three out of the fifteen episodes thus far have been notably well-directed.

6/10
