Episode Analysis of 1.04 "Walkabout"

WARNING: If you have not already seen all of LOST, please DO NOT READ THIS.

My LOST re-watch and episode analysis will include major details from the entirety that is LOST, and will be written with the perspective of having seen everything already. You will be SPOILED if you read any further. It is far better if you learn the story of LOST for yourself, as it is meant to be seen. Trust me on this, and don't say that I didn't warn you first. Seriously. Stop it. Now. Go watch it.

To read my original post on this episode, please refer to Walkabout.

This episode was written by David Fury, and directed by Jack Bender. It originally aired on October 13th, 2004.

This is a John Locke flashback-centric episode.

We begin with the opening of John Locke's eye. He's lying on a beach, at the site of the plane crash. The engine is loud, and everyone is screaming.

Initial Reaction to "The Substitute"

This was a great episode. It had great story. It had mythology. It had John Locke! This was far better than last week's episode. Again, I still don't think last week's episode was bad by any means, though a whole lot slower, with a lot less dense mythology. It appears as though they're following the format of the episode-centrics from Season One, which is very interesting. Overall, I'm really enjoyed this episode a lot, and would so as far to say that it's my favorite this season so far, although, obviously, there's not much to choose from. I took A LOT of notes on this episode, so let's get into it.

13. "Okay, prove it. [Charlie slaps Hurley] All right, okay." Hurley
14. "I'm not listening to this. No, because you're not here." [Hurley covers his ears and squints his face] "I am here, you're being a baby." Charlie

Woman: "Richard!"Man: "Come with us."Woman: "Here's the recipe."Man: "Oh thank you, I thought I'd lost-" Hurley: "Uh oh."

Notes:

1. The psychic lays down the tarot card for death, but the death card doesn't actually mean death.
