Wow, what a fantastic episode! I’m still laughing about the Jesus Stick line. That was awesome.
I like that everyone has come to really care about Sawyer and how he’s a little weirded out by it. That’s a nice little touch.
Echo’s backstory was truly heart wrenching. We’ve seen some sad ones, but his just tore my heart out. That’s some very high quality writing there. I really hope that nothing happens to him. He’s one of the most intriguing characters, and if he’s not made a permanent fixture it will be a tremendous shame.
Also, Echo seriously has some brass cajones. Even Locke looked a little freaked when he saw the monster, but Echo was like, “Oh, hey, it’s the smoke monster! Well, Mr. Smoke Monster, why don’t you come over here with me and my Jesus Stick and we’ll just have a little staring match and see who looks away first. Yeah! That’s what I thought, float away! This is a No Smoking jungle now!”
I think they should play the theme from Shaft whenever he appears on screen from now on.
