"Cabin Fever" Poll and Review

Sledgeweb users loved "Cabin Fever" giving it the highest rating of season 4. The SWLS faithful graced episode 4x11 with an 8.94 rating beating the next highest episode by just over a quarter of a point. An astonishing 92% gave "Cabin Fever" a rating of 8 or higher. There were 3 votes of 6 or lower and we will address those later in this article. The high rating of this episode got me wondering about which episodes were most liked by the users. The following is a numerical order of average rating of each episode.

#1 Cabin Fever 8.94
#2 The Constant 8.68
#3 Confirmed Dead 8.57
#4 Shape of Things 8.47
#5 Beggining of the End 8.46
#6 The Economist 8.37
#7 Ji Yeon 8.06
#8 Meet Kevin Johnson 7.54
#9 Eggtown 7.25
#10 Something Nice 7.04
#11 Other Woman 6.76

It is obvious that SWLS users enjoy episodes that center on the mythology of the island and the more science fiction aspects of the shows. They enjoy episodes that contain many questions and not a lot of answers. Our posters do not enjoy the romantic episodes nearly as much. Lets see why our users liked "Cabin Fever" with such a passion.

Ladybug started out the love fest by declaring, "10!!! Definitely a 10. WOW!!" I would give her reasons but it was sixteen items long. We get it ladybug, you really liked it! Asmodean agreed, "They let it all loose on this one. More questions than answers, but awesome LOST". PrincessLeia was over heating with her post. "I LOVED IT... I still have smoke coming our of my ears from having my noodle so overcooked last night." Stay away from PL until she cools off. Alwayslost just kept repeating, "This episode ROCKS!" That kind of sums it up, well for most people.

The only complaints came from PointPlace and Rebel3:16. Both agreed that the "episode felt rushed, and to much was packed in". PrincessLeia and ESB also cited the pacing as a concern but the still rated "Cabin Fever" as a 9 and 8 respectfully. Two people anonymously rated it a 4. Neither stated a reason, so I must assume they were just drunk. PointPlace denies that he gave it such a low rating, still holding out until he watches it again.

"Cabin Fever" had a great mix of surprises, moving the story forward and "what the heck" moments. I believe many people got a kick out of seeing Richard Alpert and Abaddon in John Locke's flashback. I know I did. It rekindled the idea that maybe the Oceanic 815 passengers were suppose to be on that plane, at least some of them. The possibility of seeing the connections tied together thrilled many of the viewers. Getting a small glimpse at the mystery that is Jacob was enlightening. Who expected a relaxed and wise knowing Claire to be sitting in the cabin with Christian? That was a classic Lost surprise moment. The conversation between Locke, Ben and Hurley was great entertainment with the right mix of humor. Lets hope the last three hours of season 4 continue with this thrilling mix of character development, mythology and action packed excitement.

Good article. I have been waiting for a list of episodes and ratings.

As a side note about the screen cap...Does anyone remember how content Claire was when she was taken the first time...when she was all drugged up. She looks pretty drugged up to me in that shot. Just a thought.
