The Swan

My favorite line of this episode came after Jack and Locke watched that mind-boggling film strip.   Locke: We're going to need to watch that again.

He’s right though, I AM going to need to watch that again.  The whole Dharma project – what’s up with that?  Loved the polar bears.  I think Jack was right when he said to Desmond that it’s all an experiment.  It even worked on Jack, he was afraid to find out what would happen if the execute button wasn't pushed.  I’m not sure what it all says about human psychology but it's pretty darn interesting.

Poor Locke, he was so emotional in this episode.  I was glad to see that he does have self-doubt, when he broke down crying and was shouting, “What am I supposed to do?”  And when he told Jack that he didn't want to do it alone.  He IS vulnerable, and not just obsessed with how right he is about destiny.

From next week’s previews – Jin speaks English!!  It turns everything upside down, if Jin's always been able to speak English. But, if he can - when he came running out onto the beach, why didn't he speak English to Sawyer and Michael?  You'd think that of all times he'd want to communicate what was happening....or, as a friend of mine pointed out, when he and Michael fought last year and he was handcuffed to the plane wreckage.  That might have been a good time to speak up.

That’s it for now, just some random thoughts.  Too busy for a full recap – maybe next week!
