Trivia:
Sayid's electrical map reveals two interesting features of the Others camp: two underground passages that seem to lead far beyond the protected perimeter. more
Goofs:
Continuity: When Claire follows Desmond, and Desmond catches the bird, his right shirt sleeve changes positions between shots (time stamp 33:30). As he reaches out to pick up the bird, his right sleeve is fully extended. When he turns to show the bird to Claire, the sleeve is up above his elbow. more
Quotes:
Kate: So how'd you get here? How'd you get onto this island?
Patchy: I was recruited when I was twenty-four. I was approached by a man...
Kate: I didn't ask you when, I asked you how.
Patchy: They brought me on a submarine.
Kate: So your people can just come and go whenever they want?
Patchy: Go, yes. But two weeks ago our underwater beacon stopped emitting its locator signal. There was an event; an electromagnetic pulse. It would be impossible to come back.
Kate: Why would you want to come back?
Patchy: You would not understand.
Kate: Try me.
Patchy: I misspoke. What I meant to say is, you are not capable of understanding.

Par Avion, 15 December 2008
Author: AdnanZ

"Par Avion" is reminiscent of one of those slightly tiresome season 2 episodes with a lot of walking to places, an irrelevant, time-wasting on-island plot to go with the walking, and a 'what the hell?' moment to cause people to forget the hour gone by and tune in next week. The episode is held afloat by the fact that the walking to places part of things (specifically it's Kate, Sayid, Locke, and Mikhail making their way from the Flame to the Barracks) is quite enjoyable, and by the excellent flashback which features a major revelation. The plot with the birds is unnecessary and entirely pointless, so much so that it has become something the writers themselves joke about and point to as the ultimate example of stalling due to network negotiations. All in all this is merely a linking episode with no real power on its own, but the flashbacks are good and well-acted.
