    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      During Charlotte's ramblings after she collapses in the jungle, she mentions the band Geronimo Jackson - the same band whose album Hurley found when they first got into the Hatch in Season 2, and whose t-shirt Eddie was wearing during one of Locke's flashbacks in Season 3 (ep 13). We also saw a Geronimo Jackson poster in a flashback to John Locke being trapped in his locker at school.
    • Goofs
      At approximately 10 minutes in, Jin tries to stop one of the French group from being taken into the cave by the black smoke and does so by forcing his foot against the cave. In the next camera angle his feet are no where near the cave, and then they are back in place in the following angle.
    • Quotes

      Christian Shephard: I believe in you, John. You can do this.

      John Locke: Richard said I was going to die.

      Christian Shephard: I suppose that's... that's why they call it "sacrifice".

    • Crazy credits
      The Producers gratefully acknowledge the cooperation of the people of Hawaii and their Aloha spirit.

    Yes
    Like in season four, also here in season 5 episode 5 is my favourite (until now). I really liked this one. It had everything a LOST episode needs, and what were some people arguing was missing in the last episode.

    I don't want to tell anything of what is happening here, because I don't want anybody to read spoilers. You have to see it. In my opinion one of the best episodes of LOST. So all I can say is "YES".

    I will have a really hard time waiting for the next episode next week (okay it will not be that hard, because I started watching again LOST from season one)

    10/10
