Lost – Further instructions

Goddamit! I wish the tv stations wouldn’t move shows around like they do. My PVR started recording Criminal Minds, Who gives a damn about criminal minds? I want my lost fix! Missed like 10 minutes of Lost! Damnitt

Lock is some sort of hillbilly dirt farmer with guns and groceries in the back, and a handsome young hitchhiker?

Locke is doing a spirit journey; he builds a sweat lodge, and takes some herbs. It doesn’t take him long start hallucinating. He has quite the spirit guide too. Someone we haven’t seen in quite the while. He’s taken in his wheelchair to an airport with all his fellow castaways, and told that one of them is in danger. Desmond’s dressed as a pilot, with three Asian stewardesses” he’s helping himself.” Hmmm… He sees Ben being the security guard and checking Kate, Sawyer, and Jack… Boone tells him that he has to clean up his own mess. Hallucinations, blood, etc. When he comes out of the hut Locke holds a machete, and tells Charlie that he is going to save Mr. Eckoes life.

Going through the jungle they find Ecko’s cross, he was dragged through the woods, Locke thinks it was the polar bear. He tells Charlie to go back as bad things happen to people that go with him.

Lcoke flashes back to the commune his sweat lodge, and his new hitchhiker pal. Shows him his sweat lodge, introduces him to the rest of the hippies?

Back in the present, lock and Charlie come across the imploded remains of the hatch, and talk about it for a bit, and then stumble on an eviscerated wild boar. An Active kill, whatever killed it is coming back for more, a sudden roar, and they run, polar bear chasing them through the jungle. Locke of course throws his machete, and nearly nerfs Hurley who gets it straight through the canteen. Hurley is just on his way back from the others with their message. On the way back he tells Locke what he was told, and Locke tells him to go back to the camp and tell the others. Charlie relates that Polar bears are like the Einstein of the bear community. I love Charlie.

Flashing back again, we have Locke and the hitchhiker talking about how everyone at the commune wants a daddy, and Locke should capitalize on that. That upsets Locke. There is of course a mysterious greenhouse that the hitchhiker wants to know about. He assumes that they are tyring to blow something up. He wants in. Locke laughs at him, but tells him that he will talk to Mike and Jan.

Back in the Jungle…Charlie and Locke are perched outside the cave, Locke is going in alone. Locke muddies himself up, and grabs some hair spray, apparently to make a torch.

Hurley finds Desmond in the jungle, naked. Apparently he woke up that way. Hurley gives him a tie dye shirt.

Locke is in the cave, and finds a metal Tonka toy tractor.? WTF? We flash back to the commune, Locke is looking for Mike and Jan to talk about the hitchhiker. Of course the greenhouse is full of Weed. Mike and Jan are grabbing the money and making a run for it. The hitchhiker is a cop, fresh from the academy. Locke tells him that he can fix it…

Back in the cave. Locke finds bones, a lot of them look human. He also finds Ecko. Unconscious, and pretty banged up. Using fire, Locke and Ecko repel the bear, who is one nasty customer. Getting out of the cave Charlie is waiting, they take Ecko and make a run for it.

Hurley and Desmond are walking through the jungle talking about what happened. Desmond tells hurley that Locke is going to save Jack and the others, he said so in his speech… hurley tells him that Locke is going to save Ecko and kill bears.This sort of causes Desmond to pause, he corrects himself, and they continue walking.

Back with locke…
Charlie and Locke are talking and Locke admits that he saw Boone in the sweat hut, and that he told him to clean up his own mess.

Back at the commune Locke is taking the cop hunting for deer. He tells him that mike and Jan want him to see the green house after dinner. Locke pulls the rifle on him, and asks if they chose him. He didn’t load the other rifle. They chose him because he hadn’t been there long, and that he was emendable to coercion. He tells lock that he’s a good man a farmer, and that he won’t do this. Locke tells him he’s a hunter, through teary eyes. The cop says he’s going to walk away.

Back in the jungle.
Charlie and Locke find a stream, and try and get some water into ecko. Locke and Ecko sit at a tree and Locke tells him he’s sorry for ever doubting him, and sorry for giving up his faith. That he could be protecting them. Ecko tells him that he can still protect them, he can still save them. “After all you are a hunter John” When Charlie gets back Ecko is still out of it, as if he never said anything. Spooky!

Hurley makes it back to the beach, and starts to tell everyone what happens, how they took jack, and sawyer. They don’t know what happened to Sun or Jin. Locke gives the speech about bringing them home. Hurley is giving Desmond the fishy eyeball while this is going on. He knew what was going to happen...
