LOST - Lockdown

Updated 3/31:  Corrected minor errors.

Episode summary & notes = Lost Wiki, Screencap gallery = Lost-Media

I was really pumped to see this episode because I wanted to know if Henry Gale was really an Other.  All signs pointed to him being an Other, but then again, the writers might throw a twist and make it not so.  Ana-Lucia, Sayid, and Charlie find the balloon and the burial point afterall…

Back in the hatch, the speaker inside the hatch goes nuts and Locke tries to fix it.  Suddenly, the ‘lockdown’ occurs, with metal doors trapping Locke and Henry Gale inside the main part of the hatch.  In Locke’s panic, we see during his flashback that he inspected the house of none other than Sayid’s childhood girlfriend/wifey/bitch.  Outside of the hatch, Jack, Kate, Hurley, and Sawyer play some poker for mangos instead of just playing strip poker.  Who wouldn’t want to see Hurley naked?

Crazy as it sounds, Locke frees Henry Gale because he needs his help.  Henry Gale makes Locke promises (no matter what happens) that Locke will protect him.  Hmmm…. sounds fishy.  Together, they try to lift the metal doors up, and Locke stupidly tries to crawl under when his legs get smashed under.  Uh oh.  Outside the hatch, we learn that Sawyer may be a jerk but he isn’t an idiot, discovering that Jack went to Taiwan where he got his crazy tattoo and mad poker playing skills.  Locke, ironically being handicapped again, reverts to a flashback where the wife from Married with Children rejects his proposal to marriage because she can’t take the fact that Locke keeps seeking out his father’s love.

Locke tells Henry Gale to climb up through the vent (the same one Kate used to escape through earlier) into the computer room and type the numbers.  Creepy factor… Henry Gale memorized the numbers with the quickness, but whatever, it might just be me.  From the sounds of the computer… it sounded like the button wasn’t pressed… because you hear the swirly sounds of countdown numbers reverting to those weird icons we saw that one episode where the button almost wasn’t pressed in time.  During the chaos, the lights go out, but a black light flickers, showing a map with notes on it on the metal door that is keeping Locke’s leg stuck.  But Henry Gale comes back, explains that he typed the numbers into the computer and pressed the button, and the timer went back, the metal doors lifted, and walaah. During their trip to the hatch, Jack and Kate find a tent parachute/supply drop type thing with supplies of food from… the hatch (Dharma brand stuff).  Who did this?  Hmm… they see Sayid, Charlie, and Ana-Lucia, and confront Henry Gale who… isn’t actually Henry Gale.

He’s an Other bi-yatch!  Next episode:  Hurley hallucinates and sees some white bald dude who reminds me of the crazy killer in Identity.

*The map is obviously of the island and all of the hatches pointing to some central point which is a mystery to the artist.  Whoever did this was prior to Desmond since Desmond didn’t have much knowledge of everything… also, the artist scribbles a note CW II:  Inactive since accident.  CW II is in the area of the Swan hatch, which is the hatch that they are in… and the orientation film explains of a ‘accident’ which is why the button needs to be pressed…

    Jack learned to play cards in Phuket, Thailand… not taiwan. And i guess he might have gotten the tatoo there, but the writing was in chinese characters…so he might have gotten the tatoo in tawian, but he learned he’s card skills in thailand.
