    Storyline

    Edit
    The U.S. marshal's assignment is revealed. Later, there is a difference of opinion between Jack and Sawyer as to how to help the critically injured marshal. Flashback to what Kate was doing in Australia. Scenes of the crash from Kate's POV. A small group sets off with a transceiver in an effort to send a mayday signal. Michael forbids Walt to speak to Locke. Locke later extends an act of kindness toward Michael that may help the father-son relationship. Sayid makes a bid to organize some island committees. —IMTammyP

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      In the flashback, Kate apologizes to the Australian rancher and pronounces "sorry" with a Canadian accent (rhyming with "gory"). Kate later lies to the rancher and claims to be Canadian, which is actually true for actress Evangeline Lilly.
    • Goofs
      When Kate is in the car with the Australian farmer, the image was horizontally flipped to appear how Australian cars have right-side drivers and left-lane driving. As the U.S. Marshall's GMC truck pulls alongside, the "C" from the grill logo is visible in the farmer's rear view mirror when its reflection should be horizontally flipped.
    • Quotes

      Hurley: Was it a dinosaur?

      Jack: It wasn't a dinosaur.

      Hurley: You say you didn't see it.

      Jack: I didn't.

      Hurley: So how do you know it wasn't a dinosaur?

      Jack: Because dinosaurs are extinct.

      Hurley: Oh, yeah.

    Disclosing Kate Austen
    The mysterious past of Kate Austen is partially disclosed through flashbacks, when she was betrayed in Australia and delivered to Marshal Edward Mars (Fredric Lane). However, what she did to be chased is not presented. Meanwhile, Michael Dawson (Harold Perrineau) is preoccupied with the friendship of his son Walt Lloyd (Malcolm David Kelley) and the weird John Locke (Terry O'Quinn) and promises to find his dog Vincent to get his attention.

    "Tabula Rasa" is a good episode of "Lost", where the intriguing past of Kate is partially disclosed. The story is more dramatic than the pilot, and the lead characters are being very well developed. My vote is eight.

    Title (Brazil): "Tabula Rasa"

    Note: On 18 March 2013, I saw this episode again.
