  14. "What's your problem, Jumbotron?" Sawyer "Shut up! Red--neck--man." Hurley "Touché. [Charlie enters] What is Jiminy Cricket doing here?" Sawyer
Notes:
  1. The psychic lays down the tarot card for death, but the death card doesn't actually mean death.
  2. Best filler episode after worst filler episode, in fact, this is probably my favorite filler, and it has the greatest set-up for something big that happens in the future, that no one could have ever expected, which is Roger Work Man and the DHARMA van.
