Lost 303: Eh
It was a Locke episode last night. Normally, Locke's good for a fun plot, an interesting backstory, an all-around good time. But last night, the writers continued in their mission to make no progress at all.
What did we learn last night? Locke's still alive. So is Desmond and Eko. Their names have been in the opening credits all season, so that's nothing new. Desmond sees the future. Ok, that wasn't really used to any effect last night. Locke's going to go after Jack, Sawyer and Kate. Ok, that was in the commercial. And he didn't even do it. He just said he'd do it in the last scene. And Eko got mauled by the polar bear. A polar bear that's still inexplicably living in a tropical environment with no apparent food source other than Eko, and it didn't even eat him. It just used him as a pillow or something, which is good, because I like Eko.
Even the flashbacks were pointless. The whole point seemed to be that Locke hates his dad (knew that), is gullible (knew that), hangs out with pot growers (didn't know and didn't care), and isn't a murderer (knew that, too).
I'm now mostly watching the show just hoping the bear will take someone out. Hopefully, about 20 people. For God's sake, they introduced two new characters last night! Sigh.

Interesting comments, Torgo. I agree. And I enjoy reading about all the movies you've been watching.
On a COMPLETELY unrelated note, I wanted to share this poem called "Not Writing"...
A wasp rises to its papery
nest under the eaves
where it daubs
at the gray shape,
but seems unable
to enter its own house.
With love from
Jane Kenyon and
JK in Chicago
I know, this episode sucked -- Locke is now living on a commune where they grow pot? what? even the appearance of Hurley didn't make up for it.
and Nikki and Paulo? Shut up.
