Reaction Time: "Lockdown"

"So, what's done is done." "That's right."

FATE VERSUS SCIENCE. Gah. I GET IT.

I'm not actually angry about it. It's the headache talking. It's more that I want PROGRESS from the story. I know this is set-up for Jack and Locke's split, for some dramatic episode (ie the finale), and that the build-up has to be gradual. I know that, and I want that. But I want it NOW. I want resolution so they will stop bickering.

So based on that map, there has to be what, 7 or 8 other DHARMA hatches on the island?? We have Swan, the one where the Tailies were, and the medical facility from "Maternity Leave".

And dear Henry Gale is full of shit. Who saw that coming? Just me? Just everyone? HE'S AN OTHER DUMBASSES (I'll get the medicine to stop talking soon, I swear).

Locke investigated Nadia's house. So she is alive - I thought Sayid said she was dead earlier in the series? I thought the US/Australian government people were just lying to him about her being in Los Angeles.

Reaction Time: "Maternity Leave"

Thank you writers for addressing something that most of us had forgotten - what DID happen to Claire when she was kidnapped by the Others?!

The Others are a much more complex group than we previously had them pegged. Not just simple savages - they've got a full blown medical facility...a DHARMA Initiative facility?! Wait, whaat?!

(Oh Lord, why did they have to keep showing that stomach injection?!) Ok, so now the facility is abandoned (it hasn't been THAT long since she left), and the savageness is a disguise? Alright, now what the frak is going on??

No time to debate it, I suppose. Henry Gale is too busy stirring the pot of issues between Locke and Jack. We know what you're doing, smartass.
