I refuse to accept that there is no ep this week. So…who’da believed that:
Locke would carve up the roast monster at the Thanksgiving feast with one of his 300 knives?
That Sawyer would thank everyone for accepting him and reveal his name is really Sheldon Poindexter?
That Kate would finally 'fess up to being a serial jaywalker; man the Patriot Act is really leading to clampdowns…
I was more surprised by the preceding scene, in which Claire gave birth to said monster…
I was stunned to discover that Hurley had been on the island the whole time, and was among them as a guardian, but before that, had been chief of a tribe of natives on the other side of the island. When he turned off the holographic curtain and revealed a table full of French-speaking Polynesians eating polar bear filet and maize (you white people call this “corn”) they all truly had a reason to be thankful.
And when Sawyer lifted Locke up on his shoulders to say the blessing, Locke (with his gimpy leg) brought a tear to my eye when he said, in a perfect Cockney falsetto, “Cor bless us ev’ry one!”
