Goofs

When Kate goes to confront Jack, she opens the door and we see it's bare on the other side except for a strip metal hinge at the top. In the very next shot when she's entering, there is a shirt hanging on the other side of the door and the strip is gone. Obviously, it's a different location altogether.

User Reviews

Best one yet

This episode was simply exhilarating. It has been a long time since we last had some insight into John Locke's character. We finally learn how he ended up in that wheelchair and we figure out that he and Ben have many connections and similar feelings about the island. In addition, the ending is amazing and it foreshadows more interesting things to come. Also, in this episode, we witness Locke in a mood which we have never seen before. He is frustrated and has a goal to reach. He also feels very frustrated that Ben can guess his thoughts. This improves this episode's plot. I highly recommend any one who has not yet watched this episode to watch it.
