    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      When Pierre Chang accuses Hurley of being from the future, he asks "Who is the president in 1977?". This is the exact question Hurley feared he would be asked when joining the Dharma Initiative in Namaste (2009).
    • Goofs
      Radzinsky and Phil hit Sawyer and Juliet to get them to speak, giving up after a short time. They completely ignore that Oldham could simply give them his "truth serum", as he did with Sayid.
    • Quotes

      Dr. Pierre Chang: Your friend Faraday said that you were from the future. I need to know if he was telling the truth.

      Hugo 'Hurley' Reyes: Dude, that's ridiculous.

      Dr. Pierre Chang: What year were you born? What year?

      Hugo 'Hurley' Reyes: Uh, 1931?

      Dr. Pierre Chang: You're 46?

      Hugo 'Hurley' Reyes: Yeah. Yes, I am.

      Dr. Pierre Chang: So you fought in the Korean War?

      Hugo 'Hurley' Reyes: There's no such thing.

      Dr. Pierre Chang: Who's the president of the United States?

      Hugo 'Hurley' Reyes: All right, dude. We're from the future. Sorry.

    The Return of the Leader
    Kate and Jack are captured by Charles Widmore but Eloise decides to listen to Jack and take them to the place where the hydrogen bomb is hidden. Jack, Sayid, Richard and Eloise swim beneath the camping and reach the bomb. Meanwhile Sawyer and Juliet are interrogated by the violent Radzinsky and Sawyer tells that they should stop drilling the Swan and leave the island. Hurley, Jin and Miles are found by Chang and they disclose that they are from the future. Locke, Richard, Sun and Ben go to the camp of The Others and Locke tells that he will meet Jacob and invite The Others to join him in his quest.

    "Follow the Leader" is another confused episode of "Lost", with the return of the leader Locke that surprisingly wants to kill Jacob. Jack wants to explode the bomb to reset the lives of the passengers of the Oceanic flight as if each one of them had a perfect life before crashing on the island. It is very difficult to understand the motivation of these characters. My vote is six.

    Title (Brazil): "Follow the Leader"
