I loved the scenes of Locke trying to recruit everyone without really trying to force their hand. He seemed a lot more empathic and didn't let his obsession with his return to the island clash with the promise he made to Jin. Made no effort to see Sun. The scene with Walt was just a little disappointingOnigirlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10070327483035350298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20542067.post-44347357218319718512018-01-22T01:11:36.250-05:002018-01-22T01:11:36.250-05:00Interesting note: you mentioned the picture in the...Interesting note: you mentioned the picture in the magazine from Creature From the Black Lagoon.

This takes place PRIOR to Locke arriving in Tunisia (i.e. off island). And Jack never talks to his Ghost Dad.
