Sawyer
- Sawyer's getting laid...again. Sawyer's job is to sleep with suspect's wives? Where do I apply for his job? The police were listening in on him doing it and he still manages to perform admirably, so kudos. (+3)
- Whether you like Charlotte or not, having sex with two girls in one episode is pretty impressive. (+1)
- To apologise to Charlotte for kicking her out and acting like a jerk he shows up with a flower and some beer. After being rejected, he leaves the flower but keeps the beer. Priorities! (+1)
- Just because Locke has a good relationship with Cooper, doesn't mean he isn't still an asshole, as proved by Sawyer still being sans parents. His revenge is still on, just in a different form. (-1)
- Figures out Zoe is a fake after she says she has a boyfriend. Because that is pretty unbelievable. Because she isn't that pretty. Heh. (+1)
- Holds his own against Charles Widmore. "Take me to your leader" made me chuckle too. (+1)
- Is playing a pretty clever game by pitting Flocke and Widmore against eachother. Both think he's on their side and conning the other one. I guess that's why it's called Recon! Or not. (+1)
- They're taking a sub...what? Lamest cliffhanger ever. I must've missed the Sawyer flashback where he's a Naval commander. (-1)
Kate
- It was quite a surprise for poor Kate to see Claire attack her. Good to see them make up in the end though. (+1)
- Turns up in the flashsideways to interrupt Miles and Sawyer's bonding. What a bitch! (-1)
Claire
- Failed to do what half of the audience wanted...kill Kate. (-1)
- They hug it out in the end, though. Daww! (+1)
Flocke
- His bitchslap on Claire was pretty epic. (+1)
- Admits to Sawyer he massacred the temple but somehow makes it seem reasonable. It must be Terry's calm demenour. (+1)
- Not much of a mastermind if Sawyer has to do all the work for him. (-1)
- Got a good heart-to-heart with Kate where he explains that even smoke monsters have mommy issues. It set up his flashback for later, more than anything. (+2)
- Thinks he has Sawyer's loyalty. He's wrong. (-1)
Miles
- Miles and Sawyer as partners was a great idea. Just like when they were both working security in '77. (+1)
- His Top Gun-esque relationship with Sawyer was a little gay, doncha think? Trying to get him to open up, acting offended and throwing a tantrum when he doesn't. And what's with the terrible blind dates he keeps setting him up on? (-1)
- Dispenses sage advice to Sawyer, amidst homosexual undertones. (+1)
Jin
- Is still on crutches, poor guy. This renders him a little useless this ep. (-1)
Sayid
- Did nothing whilst Claire had a knife to Kate's throat. I don't care for apathetic Sayid. (-1)

Character notes: Dr Linus
Ben
- LOST valley high? Um, OK. Ben trying to be evil whilst dressed like a professor just doesn't do it for me. And his sidekick Arzt just adds to the embarrassment. (-1)
- "It's Dr Linus, actually". he sounds like Sidney Poitier from In The Heat OfThe Night. (+1)
- Now, Ben has a good relationship with his father. He gives him his oxygen to breathe, instead of taking it away. Yay for opposite land! (+1)
- Alex isn't Ben's daughter in this timeline, which makes his interest in her a little creepy. (-1)
- As many pointed out, the Principal's ultimatum is a weak one. Ben could simply just wait until after Alex gets into college to execute his plan. But that would negate the point of the episode, which was Ben realising his pursuit of power is meaningless.
- Does the scene where Ben drops his stick and pegs it strongly resemble a looney tunes cartoon or not?
- Ben's apology? Easily the best scene of season six. The previous times they've tried to get sympathy for Ben haven't done it for me, but that monologue is fucking heartbreaking. (+4)
- Ben did the right thing and got Alex her letter. He even sacrificed his parking space to placate that whiner, Arzt. Aww. (+1)
Ilana
- Made it perfectly clear she had no plan whatsoever. Fail. (-1)
- I think people already guessed the fatherly connection, but it was hinted here again.
- "If anyone wants to find your husband, it's me" - awful scene with Sun. And if a character can look awful next to Sun, then buddy you're in real trouble. (-1)
- Crazy Ilana is hilarious, look at some of the faces she comes out with. But I do quite like the badass side to her. (+2)
- Looked quite sexy eating a mango. (+1)
- "I'll have you" - very sweet moment. (+1)
Miles
- "Uh ohh"..Miles doesn't hesistate to taunt Ben after dropping him in the shit. Funny stuff. (+1)
- Not only that, he later comes up to him offering him food on a banana leaf, haha. Ben's last-gasp attempt to get him to save his ass is denied. (+1)
- He found the diamonds and dug them up. Nice callback to Nikki and Paulo. (+1)
Jack
- Jack is one crazy mofo, if he trusts his faith enough to watch a dynamite stick fizzle out right in front of him. His overconfident grin is great too. The non-Ben highlight of the episode. (+3)
Richard
- We've never really seen Richard so defeated. Nestor was great. Dropping hints about his past to set up his later flashback was great. (+1)
- At least he's not Stalin. Wait, what? Oh, stalling. That too. But he should get a point for not being Stalin, as that is most definitely a plus. You wouldn't follow Stalin into the jungle. (+1)
Hurley
- His stalling (sorry, "Stalin") tactics weren't very effective. (-1)
- Asking Richard if he was a cyborg was hilarious. Although Hurley never met Richard in 1977, if I remember correctly. I guess characters only tell eachother stuff when it's convenient. (+1)
- Got to do the classic "tun towards the beach in slow-motion" shot again. (+1)
Sun
- Asks about Jin, for a change. (-1)
- I liked her participation in the group hug scene. Cute shrug of the shoulders. (+1)
Frank
- Recounts how he missed flying Oceanic 815...he overslept. Huh. Other than that, another uneventful day in Frank land.
Flocke
- Has acquired Jedi powers now and breaks Ben free, to give him an offer that Ben doesn't take. (-1)
Locke
- Carries enough weight to encourage Ben to go for the Principal's job. Similarly, I heard Obama was inspired to run for President by a random homeless guy on the street. (+1)

Character notes: Sundown
Sayid
- Nadia is doing his brother? The pussy who can't even kill a chicken? I guess they're really not meant to be together. (-1)
- His fight with the Samurai resembled some cheesy kung-fu movie but I still loved it. (+1)
- This isn't really Sayid's fault, but I'll put it here anyway as he was seen mending the damage...who the fuck throws a boomerang indoors?
- Sayid had an epic fight with Keamy in S4, but didn't get to deliver the final blow. Here he makes up for it. Badass once again. (+1)
- Maybe I wasn't supposed to root for Sayid as he killed Dogen and Lennon, but I did anyway! Lennon is a one-way translator for a guy who speaks perfect English. Dick-flavoured lollipop springs to mind. So, kudos for getting rid of some of the dead wood. (Ha! That's funny, because...never mind) (+2)
- His evil grin as he greets Ben? Badass, once again. I can never use that word enough for this man. In fact, I might just replace the word "badass" with "Sayid" from now on. (+1)
Flocke
- I like how he barely reacted to having a sword plunged into his chest. He practically shakes it off. That was so Sayid! Hmm...doesn't really work. (+1)
- Working his manipulative magic once again. If he can give Sayid Nadia, is he responsible for the alt timeline somehow? (+1)
- Taking down the temple in smoke form. Awesome! (+1)
- Wait, why did killing Dogen mean he could cross the ash circle? That makes little sense to me, and the chances of it being explained are low.
Claire
- Does the bidding of evil Flocke. Ultimatums are more awesome when they come in the form of a sexy chick. (+1)
- Talking with Kate from the hole was great, particularly how she issued her warning. It also allowed us interesting camera angles on her cleavage. (+1)
- Calmly staying put as smokey kicks ass all around her was awesome. (+1)
Kate
- Delivers the supposedly great news of Aaron being in her care to Claire, not realising Claire secretly want to cut her. (-1)
- I LOL'ed when she slammed Lennon up against a wall and tough Kate came out. Lucky guy. (+1)
- Nice manouever to avoid Smokey there, girl. (+1)
- Locke seems surprised to see her following him. But she's just going wherever Claire goes.
Miles
- Wows at Kate's rearrival. Declares Claire "still hot". Is there anyone he doesn't want to get into the pants of? (+1)
- He might stand a better chance if he doesn't run off his own way and leave her to get Claire on his own. This is the part in horror movies where he'd be brutally murdered. Luckily team Ilana save him. (-1)
Ilana
- I thought her entrance to the temple with the rest of her group was very Sayid. OK, I'll stop that now. But it was kind of a wasted journey in retrospect as none of the candidates were there and this supposed safe place was about as safe as a neck within 5 miles of Sayid (yeah, that means not very safe). (+1)
Ben
- It was hilarious seeing him slowly back away from Sayid as he relaised he was in the presence of a madman. Also had an awfully hilarious face close-up when he says "I'll go get him!". Look out for that next time. (+1)
Frank
- Tells Miles to move his ass in his only line of the episode. But Miles listens, and the collective awesomeness of team Ilana gives points to all. All except Sun, anyway. Fuck Sun. (+1)
Sun
- Wasn't even shown until the second time we saw team Ilana. Is she that much of embarrassment to the screen? Found out Jin was alive but had no time to do anything about it. Lame. (-1)

Character notes: Lighthouse
I said I'd do the next one quicker, but it actually took longer. Opposite day psych! I knocked this one out from scratch pretty quick, so lets see if I can do a few.
Jack
- The shot of Jack looking into the water was the second best shot of the episode. Just thought I'd say it.
- I betcha anything the reason Jack doesn't remember his appendix being taken out when he was 10 is because it never happened. That scar is from when Juliet did it in season 4. Somehow! Good lostigating, if I do say so myself.
- His hideous mother is right, his son ignores him. Jack is in need of some parenting 101. (-1)
- Then again, he didn't exactly have the best role model, did he? Island Jack even awknowledges he wouldn't be a good dad. I'm giving that point back. (+1)
- Re: cave conversation, wanting the Island to fix him...Jack appears to have lost his faith once again. Bloody hell, that didn't take long. (-1)
- Awww, I like how he bonds with his son after a slightly rocky start. (+2)
- Smashing the magic mirror. Douche move, Jack. (-1)
- I hate how the promo spoiled the mirror smash, too. Wait, can I really take points off for something the promo did? Don't be stupid.
- A ponderous, reflective Jack stares out at the ocean (best shot of the epsiode by the way) and finally begins to rediscover his true purpose. And this time, for real. (+1)
Hurley
- Hurley was the true hero of this episode. Standing up to Dogen in particular was awesome. "I'm a candidate and I can do what I want." (+1)
- Jacob "just appears whenever he wants like Obi-Wan Kenobi". Hurley has a real knack for saying it like it is in real person terms. And the closet Star Wars nerd in me dug the reference. (+1)
- Considering he's the only one who can talk to Jacob, I'd say he's a pretty key character right now. (+1)
Kate
- Other than Jack telling her about Claire it was a rather superfluous appearance, but sexy Kate holding a gun gets me hot. (+1)
Sayid
- Also superfluous, but it set up a future confrontation with Dogen.
Miles
- Reduced to the endless monotony of Os and Xs, (they don't call it tic tac toe where I'm from) a game where you'd have to be a moron or 3 years old to lose. Poor Miles.
Claire
- I like crazy Claire. She turns real badass when she smacks Justin in the leg. Back in S1, Claire would have been the least likely person ever to be a badass/villainess character. (+2)
- So Claire was abducted and escaped? I don't think I should give points for that because it seems pretty damn easy to escape those temple guys. I wouldn't be surprised if their security is an unguarded door that says "No escaping, please".
- Who the hell does she think she is threatening Kate? She walked off in the middle of the jungle, so you ain't got no right to threaten the girl who actually took care of your kid, honey! Wow, that sounded like a sassy Jerry Springer audience member. I am sorry. (+1)
Jin
- Jin basically sits immobilised and lies his ass off, going through the fucking scare of his life as someone he used to call friend liberally swings an axe around. (-1)
Flocke
- His ending cameo was less of a "ZOMG!" reveal and more of a "Oh, yeah? I kind of figured that out anyway". I suggest they rename the "dramatic horn" (we know what it's really called) the "horn of indifference" if there are more reveals of this calibre. (-1)

Character notes: The Substitute
Wow, this is so so late. Luckily it was short on account of few characters appearing. I’ll do the next one much quicker.
Locke
-Locke’s alt-life has still been a series of fails:
Getting out of car fail.
Opening ramp fail
Keeping job fail
But it’s endearing, so it’s worth + points. (+1)
- Hey he’s marrying Helen. Always great to see Katey Segal on LOST. (+1)
- Personal growth success for Locke, as he decides he doesn’t need fixing. *sob* (+1)
- Heh, teacher Locke. I’d take Locke’s class on the human reproductive system. (+1)
- I enjoyed the shot of the bech crab on his head.
- A whopping four people attended his burial. Ilana and Frank, who have never met Locke. Sun, who has had by my count 1 major interaction with him (Sun’s garden scene in And Found, trivia fans). Ben, the guy who killed him. Lamest funeral ever. (-1)
Flocke
- I liked the smokeyvision camera. Very cool. (+1)
- How fucking insane is it that we’ve got the stage where the smoke monster is having visions? (+1)
- I loved his speech about how he used to be human and have human emotions. (+1)
- Flocke has a talent for skimming stones. Is there anything he can't do? (+1)
- Flocke criticising Jacob for being manipulative. Isn’t that exactly what he’s been doing with Ben and others? Hmmm. (-1)
- He saved Sawyer from splattering on the rocks and being seagull food, and seems to have won his trust by the end. He is starting to look like a legitimate alternative, given that he's at least willing to give answers. (+1)
Hurley
Hurley is such a nice guy! He doesn’t care that Locke nearly damaged his car and offers him a new job. I realised I hate his sideburns though. (+1)
Sawyer
- I'm not liking his current living conditions. Drunk, barely dressed, looking all grubby. (+1)
- He's sharp enough to figure out Locke isn't Locke so early, but seems a little too keen to follow mysterious guy. (-1)
- Dude, SPOILER ALERT for Of Mice And Men! I haven't read that book yet, you dick. But it's hard to stay mad at him when he looks that cool with a gun, did address my last point, and it was a nice throwback to season 3. (+1)
Richard
- Looks like he's letting Flocke piss all over him. Tied up in a bag - not so awesome. (-1)
- His conversation with Sawyer was not his finest moment either. Looks like he shit his pants and runs away like a sissy. (-1)
Ben
- His speech at Locke’s funeral made me laugh. A refreshingly rare moment of honesty. (+1)
...Yet didn’t admit to killing Jacob, probably trying to avoid Ilana’s wrath. (-1)
- Teacher Ben! Wow, he sure does love to talk about coffee. And he’s BFFs with Locke again. (+1)
Frank
Frank is often just an observer, but always has some choice lines (“weirdest damn funeral I‘ve ever been to”) (+1)
Ilana
Aww, crying over Jacob made me feel bad for her a little. I hope to see more about what kind of relationship they have soon. She also gave some useful info about Locke not being able to change form. Why, or how she knows this, is anyone's guess. (+1)
Sun
- Did she do anything? Oh, she suggested they bury Locke, I think. But waaaait..that just slowed them down. Then again, they can get to the beach camp in an instant nowadays, so not really. (+1)

Locke
-Locke’s alt-life has still been a series of fails:
Getting out of car fail.
Opening ramp fail
Keeping job fail
But it’s endearing, so it’s worth + points. (+1)
- Hey he’s marrying Helen. Always great to see Katey Segal on LOST. (+1)
- Personal growth success for Locke, as he decides he doesn’t need fixing. *sob* (+1)
- Heh, teacher Locke. I’d take Locke’s class on the human reproductive system. (+1)
- I enjoyed the shot of the bech crab on his head.
- A whopping four people attended his burial. Ilana and Frank, who have never met Locke. Sun, who has had by my count 1 major interaction with him (Sun’s garden scene in And Found, trivia fans). Ben, the guy who killed him. Lamest funeral ever. (-1)
Flocke
- I liked the smokeyvision camera. Very cool. (+1)
- How fucking insane is it that we’ve got the stage where the smoke monster is having visions? (+1)
- I loved his speech about how he used to be human and have human emotions. (+1)
- Flocke has a talent for skimming stones. Is there anything he can't do? (+1)
- Flocke criticising Jacob for being manipulative. Isn’t that exactly what he’s been doing with Ben and others? Hmmm. (-1)
- He saved Sawyer from splattering on the rocks and being seagull food, and seems to have won his trust by the end. He is starting to look like a legitimate alternative, given that he's at least willing to give answers. (+1)
Hurley
Hurley is such a nice guy! He doesn’t care that Locke nearly damaged his car and offers him a new job. I realised I hate his sideburns though. (+1)
Sawyer
- I'm not liking his current living conditions. Drunk, barely dressed, looking all grubby. (+1)
- He's sharp enough to figure out Locke isn't Locke so early, but seems a little too keen to follow mysterious guy. (-1)
- Dude, SPOILER ALERT for Of Mice And Men! I haven't read that book yet, you dick. But it's hard to stay mad at him when he looks that cool with a gun, did address my last point, and it was a nice throwback to season 3. (+1)

What Kate Does: Character by character notes
Kate
- Getting Claire out of the cab was kind of a superbitch moment (-1)
- But she made up for it when she realised what she’d done. Helpful Kate is helpful. (+2)
- Still driving the same Taxi? Hmm. Then again, she doesn’t really need another grand theft auto charge.
- "Don't come after me"...you knew it wouldn't last long, didn't you? (-1)
- Gets one over on Aldo again. (+1)
- Had a nice scene with Sawyer on the dock. (+1)
- That was the most ineffective police search ever. Kate is pretty lucky.
Claire
- “Hey, it’s me again, the woman who pointed a gun at you. Wanna lift? I totally won‘t threaten to kill you this time, promise.” “Sure, sounds reasonable”. lol wut? (-2)
- She’s trusting a fucking criminal. Offering money to her. That’s gotta be another -1, sorry. (-1)
- Claire has a dark force inside of her and I’m sad to say it’s not me. It’s an interesting direction for her though. Way to kill those two guys, even if Justin totally didn’t deserve it. (+2)
Jack
- Jack kicks ass in the first scene where he’s sticking it to Dogen. He called out these over-secretive motherfuckers. (+1)
- Aaw, Sayid looks up to Jack. He's a pretty trustworthy guy. (+1)
- “Did I say something funny?” “Doubt it. You don‘t really have a sense of humour” - BURN! (-1)
- Swallowing the pill was one of Jack’s best badassery moments. I also liked him saying how he doesn’t trust himself. (+2)
- He managed to attract Kate's glance in the alt timeline. Either because he's super sexy or because of deja vu. (+1)
Sawyer
- Implying Sayid is a bad person? This coming from a murderer and thief? Okay. (-1)
- On his escape from the temple we didn’t even see how he got a gun but presumably he did something badass. (+1)
- I teared up when he revealed he wanted to marry Juliet. The dock scene was phenomenal. Josh is really rockin’ this season. (+3)
- “sorry for following you” “which time?” - BURN! (+1)
Jin
- Not only got dialogue, but was second-choice for the jungle trek too. It’s a red letter day indeed! (+2)
- Got caught in a bear trap. They didn’t have forest safety in Korea. (-1)
- Seems to always be the one finding people...tailies, Rousseau, Jack an the 77ers, and now Claire. (+1)
Sayid
- “No. I am not a zombie. ” I can’t help feel a little disappointed at this revelation. (+1)
- Our torturer gets tortured, again. (-1)
- The Jack/Sayid bromance was raging strong when a groggy Sayid tells Jack he’ll take the pill if he wants him to. (+1)
Hurley
- Private talks usually make me do stuff I don’t quite understand. I love Hurley. (+1)
Miles
- I liked his line "We'll be at the food court" (+1)
- Pity it was pretty much his only line.
- He also got a knee to the stomach for no reason. (-1)

LA X: Character by character notes
This has nothing really to do with memes, but I kinda wanted a blog for this and was too lazy to set up another.
It's just a scatter-shot list of random thoughts as the episode airs, and I award a character points when they do cool things. It's not a new format.
Jack
- Is that deja vu he's experiencing? Fading away like a dream you can't quite remember. A good, if ambiguous piece of acting (+2 points)
- He does look a lot older than he should be, though. And the hair? Not liking it. (-1)
- Recognises Desmond (+1)
- "I’m sorry. I thought we were meant to do this" - best you can do? Lame. (-1)
- Saved Charlie. Again. (+1)
- Probably got a metal girder on his foot whilst helping get Juliet out. Ouch. (-1)
- Did he really think they were gonna carry an injured man over that huge-ass wall? Oh well, at least it lead to Hurley saying "We're not..we're going through here", which lead to the Most Unnecessary Gay-Ass Trombone Of The Week. But still. (-1)
- Got punched out pretty badly by those turban guys. Then assaulted again twice more. The first of many? (-2)
- Jack once again beats a dead horse, or rather, Sayid. The Charlie scene was wonderful and emotional, but lightning doesn’t strike twice, just let it go this time, Jack. I’m pretty sure Jack would’ve been trying to hump Montand's severed arm to life if he'd been around for that. (-1)
- Wants to fix Locke! Nothing's irreversible. Amazing scene all round. (+2)
Sawyer
- I love him taking down Jack at the start, he also seems to know what he's talking about better than the rest of the group. (+2)
- Got a meaningful and heartfelt kiss from Juliet, and could do with some sympathy points after losing her. (+2)
- The way he looks at Hurley as he steps off the plane - that's a con man with a plan. (+1)
- Noticed Kate’s handcuffs but didn’t say anything. Thought that was nice of him. A cute girl > security guards. (+1)
- Took down four temple others? That’s badass. But it occured off-screen. Pics or it didn’t happen. (+1)
Kate
- Good to see her climbing a tree again, for old times sake. It seems like it's been a while. (+1)
- Takes Jack's pen. She must have the hands of a magician. (+1)
- Discovers Juliet. (+1)
- Her escape was pretty cool, even though Ed “lets put my head 2 inches from the toilet door and not do anything” Mars is a total embarassment to law enforcement. (+1)
- Quit crowding Sawyer, Kate. The last person someone wants to talk to after losing a loved one is another ex from another relationship that ended. You’re just getting in the way. (-1)
- Why the hell did you wait in that taxi line so long? Those who snooze, lose. You should’ve got the hell out of there much sooner.(-1)
Hurley
- That was a hilariously bad Australian accent. I don't know whether to give plus or minus for that.
- He likes chicken. He must have said that at least 10 billion times before. I don't like chicken, but I like that Hurley likes chicken.
(+1)
- He looks so sweet and content. You really believe he is the luckiest guy in the world. (+1)
- He claims he has a gun and knows how to use it. Doesn't look too confident with it to me.
- Becoming Jacob's faithful underling from beyond the grave. "You want me to do something crazy again?" - LOL. (+2)
- Stopped the gang from getting hastily shot by mentioning Jacob sent them. (+1)
- It’s a good thing he asked whether unconscious people could hold their breath. I wasn’t sure either. It didn’t get a gay ass trombone, unfortunately. (-1)
- Breaks the news of Jacobs death to Genghis Khan and Genghis Khan't. He knows something you don't know, nah-nah! (+1)
- Hurley gives an open invitation to ghost Sayid to come and haunt him. Awww. (+1)
Sayid
- Philosophical Sayid makes me sad. (+1)
- Can I be of assistantance? Assistance in this case meaning badass. Smashed the door down, and assists Jack. (+2)
- Lasts longer with a gut shot than a Duracell battery. (+1)
- Dies. (-1)
- Or not. Wait - so, Sayid was dead...but then he got better? I liked how he comes back as Jack is getting ass-whupped again. Like Chuck Norris, Sayid doesn’t sleep, he waits. (+2)
Desmond
- Desmond swaps seats for being next to a snorer. Very wise, that would piss me off too. (+1)
- Desmond has the ability to leave a plane in mid-air. Pretty cool. He didn't jump out the window, I hope. (+1)
Sun
- She can still spot a happy couple (Rose/Bernard) when she sees one, despite not being one herself. (+1)
- So does altSun speak English or not? Cuz it would be kinda useful if she did. (-1)
Jin
- “Button your sweater”. I forgot S1 Jin used to be a douche. (-1)
- Brings the van to help Juliet. (+1)
- Jin actually knows where to go. I love how he doesn’t question why Hurley is asking about stuff he shouldn’t know about. (+1)
- Got hurled off by customs and couldn't talk his way out of it due to the language barrier. Jin has no time for this, he has a demanding and important job. (-1)
Ben
- oooh, he wants Richard to go inside? And face murder-scheming undead Locke impostor? That’s cold. (-1)
- Stands and witnesses an epic smoke attack staying silent the whole time. (+1)
Richard
- It was pretty badass how he hurls Ben over to the corpse. (+1)
- Revelations of Richards past are coming to light. Flocke has seen him in chains? Lets hope he means the Black Rock, and not some BDSM fetish club. (+1)
- Got beaten up by Flocke pretty badly. (-1)
Miles
- Miles is such a suck-up. Still calling Sawyer boss, asking if he wants beers. He looked a little offended when Sawyer told him he was only around for him to speak to Juliet.
- Used his ghosty mojo thing. Cool sound effects and camera angles FTW. (+1)
Flocke
- Bullets bounce off him, FFS. And he can turn into a cloud and unleash dangerous levels of badassness. I thought the bent bullet was a bug at first, and thought he was going to turn into an insect swarm. Ugh. Thank God he only turned into a bunch of black smoke. (+3)
- Lets not resort to name-calling. Ha! Flocke is fucking awesome. (+1)
- I loved the scene where he reveals what Lockes last words were. And now we know what he wants. Will we sympathise with him one day? (+1)
- Strides up to and punches out Richard in front of the whole group who just stand there rubber-necking, and then strides off. (+1)
Locke
- I like this happy, confident Locke. He went on a walkabout. He's smiling. He's come to terms with his condition. Overall, Terry is doing great with both characters. (+4)
Frank
- Had a few choice lines but mostly just stayed on the beach cosying up to Sun. Any episode is improved by having Frank in it though. (+1)
Claire
- OMG, Claire's back!! She's been gone a whole season! (+2)
- She had one line and a horrible wig. That could be the worst usefulness of appearance to wig quality ratio in the history of television, taking the record set by Boone in season 3. (-1)
Ilana
- Wisely decided not to go into the statue where the amateur bodyguards got massacred by Flocke's asskickery. (+1)
- Looked cool holding a gun at Flocke. But why point if you can't shoot? (+1)
