Storyline

The fates of Locke, Eko and Desmond are revealed after the implosion of the hatch, while Hurley returns to the beach camp to tell the tale of what happened when he, Jack, Kate and Sawyer encountered "The Others". A mute Locke makes a sweat-lodge and talks to the spirit of Boone who persuades him to rescue Mr. Eko from a polar bear cave with Charlie's help. Desmond also survived the implosion, but not quite the same. More of Locke's background is revealed how his life took a turn when he, living with a group of "farmers" picked up a lonely youth who was not who he appeared to be. Meanwhile, Claire is shocked to find fellow survivors, Nikki and Paulo, in Jack's tent. Written by Anonymous

Trivia

Goofs

When Locke awakes in the middle of the grassy field at the beginning of the episode, his shirt is filthy front and back. A moment later, at the beach, that same shirt is rid of the large stain in the middle of his back. See more »

Locke is back
19 October 2006 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

It was great to see the old Locke back! After last season and his obsession with pushing the button then losing his faith in the island, it was good to see him back in his hunter mode. Season 2 lost a lot of the thrill and sense of danger. Now with Locke regaining his passion, we are bound to be in for a great ride.

Episode 3 gave us so many clues as to where this season will be going. The vision in the sweat lodge was fantastic with loads of foreshadowing. Locke's flashbacks added another dimension to his personality. He came off as a self-pitying whiner last season, but we see a whole new side of him in this episode. And what is up with Desmond knowing about Locke's speech before the speech was made? Now all we need is an update on Michael and Walt.

If the first three episodes are any indication, it looks like Lost is recovering nicely from their "Sophomore Swoon".
