    Storyline

    Edit
    Claire Littleton and Charlie Pace are abducted by the mysterious Ethan Rom, and Dr. Jack Shephard, Kate Austen, John Locke and Boone Carlyle go after them. When the leads divide, the group split in two. Jack follows with Kate and recalls his sad past with his father. He struggles against Ethan who reveals himself not an ordinary man revealing to have super speed, agility, and near-superhuman strength. Kate and Jack later they find a near-death Charlie hanged in a tree. Things take another mysterious turn when Locke and Boone find a mysterious hatch in the jungle. Meanwhile, the nasty Sawyer confronts Sayid about torturing him, and is skeptic to Sayid's claim about other people hiding on the island. —Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Pounding on a chest, like Jack does to Charlie, is only found in cinema. As it does absolutely nothing, a doctor would not do that. This was an attempt to depict a precordial thump, which is used during v-fib or v-tach.
    • Goofs
      While Jack is speaking with his dad, you hear the pen his dad hands him click, yet it is clearly a pen that needs to be twisted and you then see Jack twist it to sign the document.
    • Quotes

      Boone: It's about fifteen minutes since we've seen any sign. What are we following?

      Locke: My gut.

    Enthralling
    When 'Lost' was in its prime, it was must-watch television. Remember first watching it, found it remarkably easy to get into, was hooked from the start and was on Season 3 by the end of one week. The general consensus is that the final season is a disappointment and cannot disagree.

    All the episodes for me up to this point in 'Lost' were very good to outstanding. "All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues" is one of Season 1's best and among my personal favourite early episodes. It has a story that consistently enthrals with the mystery and suspense levels raised even more than in the previous episode "Raised By Another". As intriguing as everything with Locke and Boone (an important development) and the flashback is, there are two scenes that are particularly memorable.

    One is the scene with Ethan and Jack, one of the most chilling scenes ever on 'Lost'. The other is Jack with Charlie, a thrilling scene that leaves one on the edge of their seat with tension and also leaves them welling up. The acting is great all round, but Matthew Fox (giving some of his best acting of the series) and William Mapother induces goose-bumps.

    Visually, "All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues" is well made with the island as beautiful and mysterious as ever. The music is understated and chilling, even beautiful at times. Michael Giacchino never disappointed with his work on 'Lost', his work in this episode is some of his most inspired.

    The writing still provokes thought, and is the smart and taut writing of 'Lost' at its best.

    In conclusion, enthralling and a must see for die-hard 'Lost' fans or anybody getting into the show. 10/10 Bethany Cox
