According to Jorge Garcia, many fans thought at one point that John Locke became a cripple because he was one of the people on the balcony that collapsed under Hurley's weight.

Goofs

When Libby and Hurley are in the forest with the food Hurley has stolen, he throws ranch dressing all over the place and over his shirt. In the next shot a second later, his shirt is clean before it goes back to dirty again.

Disappointing Sequel of "Lockdown"

Hurley tells Libby that he has hidden food in the woods stolen from the hatch, and he decides to destroy it to punish himself and prove control of the situation. Later, he sees his former friend Dave (Evan Haendler), from the mental institution where he was interned after a fatal accident, in the island. Meanwhile, Libby tries to help the depressed Hurley to react against his hallucinations. In the end, Henry Gale discloses to the skeptical John Locke what happened with the computer.

After a sensational episode with a tense conclusion, "Dave" is very disappointing and predictable sequel. The selfish attitude of Hurley, destroying the food he stole from the hatch instead of giving it to the other survivors, is very nasty. The best part of this episode is when Henry tells John what happened in the computer room when John was hold below the door. But then the episode finished. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): Not Available
