I was really admiring Jack for how he learnt to step back, hold on and take things easier. The moment he decided to take Faraday to the Others was when he first lost it, but in this episode he's a full blown old Jack again. Taking the first available task as you great CAUSE and acting on impulses really. And of course he is going to fail because if he doesn't John Locke never becomes who he is now.
I just wish Jack would wait for his moment of revelation. And now I'm just affraid he's going to be weepy-little-Jack-standing-up-for-others-and-not-being-appreciated-by-daddy forever. That is if he survives at all.
And while I never liked John Locke, I must admit I'm hugely impressed. I keep thinking about how he plays Ben, how he unnerves him and how he doesn't fall for the usual traps. And it's so refreshing! Because John doesn't seem to manipulate people purely for he's own amusement, like Ben used to do. We are being hinted that John is willing to discard people like Ben (lying to Sun, using the herd of the Others) and yet I must admit that I still trust him :/ It's like he knew that first thing should go first and he doesn't get distracted. And at the same time he's not arrogant about it like he used to be.
And I'm probably a bit late on that one, but when Sun came forward with the picture, I had to pause to scream "Waaaaaalt!!!"
There you are. Not a lot for discussion, just wanted to get it off my chest.
