Episode Report Card Daniel: B | 1 USERS: A+ YOU GRADE IT I was blown up by a pirate ship
By Daniel | Season 1 | Episode 24 | Aired on 05.24.2005
So there's no time for your "secret scene," but there's enough room for a full minute-and-a-half commercial for your bogus Dancing with the Stars show? Because it can't be said enough, fuck you, ABC. No, I still haven't forgiven you for canceling Sports Night. ["I still haven't forgiven them for canceling My So-Called Life. Dance with this, Ted Harbert." -- Sars]
Montage time, complete with what sounds like that same music that they always use for here, and no dialogue! Yay! Claire's alone, at the caves, and Sayid and Charlie stroll in. Claire sees them, and practically knocks them over as she runs over to grab Turniphead. Charlie even gets a kiss out of the deal, so you know he's happy. Shannon strolls over, and is able to break out of her funk to be happy to see Turniphead. Then she starts looking for Sayid, who's over washing himself in the little waterfall, and she goes running to him, and they hug. Guess she was rather worried about him, but I guess there was "no time" to touch on that, hey? Claire examines Charlie's forehead owie, and we see in his backpack a statue of the Virgin Mary, and I can hardly believe that Charlie hasn't actually done all the heroin yet.
We switch to a slow motion scene of the passengers boarding the plane that I quite liked, although, as a portrait of the travelers before circumstances threw them together on the island, I think it'd be more effective after those CIRCUMSTANCES HAVE BEEN EXPLAINED, but it's still pretty good. There's Claire trying to squeeze past a big guy. There's Kate with a jacket over her handcuffed wrists, the marshal behind her. There's Sawyer strolling on, looking surly. There's Locke watching, and Jack in front of him stowing something in an overhead compartment. There's Charlie trying to stuff his damn guitar into a wardrobe of some type, and maybe someone can explain to me how it is that he wasn't made to check that. There's Sayid sitting down, with some guy a few seats over staring at him, I guess because Sayid's Iraqi, judging from the way the guy quickly averts his gaze when Sayid looks over. Sayid reacts like this isn't new to him, which I imagine it isn't.
Jin examines the watch that will cost him his wife if he doesn't deliver it. There's Walt, still playing his damn GameBoy, and Mercutio making sure Walt's seatbelt is fastened. There's the marshal making sure Kate's handcuffs are fastened, while she stares straight ahead. There's Sayid pulling out a picture of Nadia and staring at it. There's Shannon, pawing frantically through her bag, until Boone casually holds up her inhaler, and she smiles at him, the kind of smile that unfortunately gives a woman like Shannon the freedom to be as horrible as she wants for as long as she's able to smile like that. There's a very sweaty Hurley getting on. He passes by Walt, giving him a wink and a thumbs-up, with his tongue sticking out, and Walt smiles, and Mercutio's happy to see that. And Hurley's shirt has magically dried by the time he gets in his seat, and he puts on his headphones and pulls out a comic book, the one with the polar bear. And there's Claire being helped by Arse, who I guess wasn't all bad. There's Jack and Locke, making eye contact and smiling politely.
