Lost

[serai]

Just as I suspected, Locke is turning out to be the most interesting character on this thing. It wasn't until that episode when he gave Boone his vision that I realized the position Locke occupies in this little society. He's the priest, the shaman. Quite archetypal. A wounded man who has visions, sees what no one else does, has a special connection to the land and the spirits that dwell there. Very interesting. I bet he elects to stay on the island, maybe with Walt, who looks like a little shaman-in-training to me.

Looking forward to where this is headed.

<3 Locke - this week's episode was way cool. (I think they are going to kill off Boone). Loved seeing Martin Milner and Swoosie Kurtz! I will tell you a secret - fergit Dom/Charlie - Locke is my favorite!

Martin Milner? Where was he?

Yeah, it was a great episode. I love how a throwaway line like Locke's "No, he wasn't cool" in answer to Walt's offhand question about his dad turns into a complex storyline. The writing on this show is excellent.

I flunked uber goober school. You are right!!! The guy that played Locke's Dad was on 'Emergency' not 'One Adam 12'! What is that actor's name???

Kevin Tighe. That was a bit of a shock, too. O_o
