Discuss S03E13 'The Man From Tallahassee' here.

[Xarcabard]

The episode was incrediable there was hardly anything I didn't love about it bar the awkward and sloppy Jack/Kate scenes.

The flashbacks were some of the best I've saw, the exchanges between Locke and Ben were really intreging and I liked how it was Jack who was the betrayer and it wasn't just some scheme to make him look good (for now).

All-round great episode.

[Admin1]

Yeh, was an awsome episode, especially the flashbacks. Him getting pushed out the window was a real omg moment - theres been alot of them lately.
The island stuff was great too, especially the Jack/Kate moment, but it annoyed me when he walked away!
The Alex/Danielle stuff in this episode was great too, and thanks to Sayid for finally trying to put things straight! Cant wait to see how this turns out!

10/10!

[Em_J]

Finally a proper decent episode!! Actually enjoyed that one and didn't get distracted and wander off, which has been happening a lot recently (apart from TTID ep!)

Hated that it made me feel sorry for John! I hate John!! Good bit of writing that. The flashback was actually good and interesting but I wish I hadn't read the bloody spoilers about the window thing! Dammit! I was thinking 'don't go near the window!!'

Could've done without the entire Jack/Kate thing though. Apart from that, brillness!

[Xarcabard]

Rofl Yeah after reading the spoilers I was like "I hope that phone is not by the window" and "just use your mobile phone Locke".

I agree about the Jack/Kate parts letting it down, even with me being a big Kate fan.

[ayubi]

Its getting interesting as hell now.

[Em_J]

I was expecting his dad to say 'The phone's over there, John, by the window, mwah ha ha!'

[Xarcabard]

That fall looked painfull aswell, if my Dad done that to me then they'd be no way I'd send him a christmas card this year.

I wonder where Locke's flashbacks will go from here since it looks like we've learned all about him and his father.

And there was a lot of "conning" talk in this episode, I wonder if Cooper is the real Mr Sawyer.

[Em_J]

Yeah I reckon that about the real Sawyer thing. I have two questions about this ep though,
1. So who was the man from Tallahassee?!
2. Where can I get me a giant hamster!

[LostObsessive]

Awesome Episode... i've just finished watching it... i was like OMG at the end.

I could totally see what was gonna happen to Locke with the massive window behind him and could also tell that his father was gonna be there. But it didn't bother me, i've been sat here on the edge of my seat, waiting.

A great episode - Love the Jate stuff.

[olivepit]

i still havent seen the episode but i read the reviews. How do you think locke's dad ended up on the island ?!?!?!
SCARY !!

[legallyblonde01]

Wow it was such a great epi. All the ben and locke interacting was interesting. I felt sorry for Locke, which made me angry cause he killed Patchy!
Hopefully Alex will found out about Danielle soon!
It was cute when Ben asked: "Alex?" in his bed, it was heart-breaking, don´t you think?

[redwinegoblin]

That was an awesome episode! As soon as Locke walked into the glass-walled apartment I was like "uh oh..." Earlier on in the ep I had expected the young bloke to run him over or something....
Loved the Locke/Ben interaction , especially "we don't have a code for there's a man in my closet with a gun to my daughters head...but clearly there should be"... or something along those lines, really well written!
Agree with Em about the yawnsome Jack/Kate stuff, but Jack's face when the submarine blew up was excellent...would have been even better if he'd cried though...mowahahahahaa

[bagels]

wow!?? holy crap (sorry if im not allowed say crap) that episode was BRILL. it didnt even have 2 have any Sawyer in for me to like it.thou obviusly that wuda bin a bonus.Man i hav never been so gobsmacked in my life. finally we had some some revelations, altho now its just left me wiv even more questions yet again but thats Lost for you.poor olde man locke.im actually startin to feel quite sorry for him.usually he annoys me an i dont no wetha to hate him or like him but hes been terribly unfortunate hasnt he really. Poor rousseu as well and alex for thinkin her mums dead and bens her father.they do luk alot alike the cahracters of alex an her mum thas very cleva casting by the boss people. anyway enough ramblin from me, beta get to bed.college tomorow.an drivin lesson god help me.nite all

[Admin1]

Good luck with your driving lessons!

. . . "Anthony Cooper, Adam Seward" is anagram for "Sawyer, the con man, a poor dad".

Just found that on lostpedia. I dont think its a coincidence, they're obviously hinting at something!


. . also this - In Lockdown, Sawyer claims to have been to Tallahassee.

[Xarcabard]

Nice find Dom.

I have to admit that in season 1 I was a big fan of the James Ford/Real Sawyer Story, it hasn't been brought up too much since but it would be one hell of a story in the future if Cooper is the real Sawyer and James finds out.

[April_Rose]

great episode, liked the scene where Sawyer placed that little seed of doubt in Alex's mind, loved Locke blowing up the sub though it of course suited Ben down to the ground, great flashbacks, I wonder if "the man from Tallahassee" is Locke's dad? he might have been held somewhere else, and when Ben realised Locke was there he wanted to show him that they had him? Wonder how the hell he got there?

Great episode overall, Jack was annoying as hell again, the "I wish you hadn't come back for me but I will come back for you" was icky and patronising, true to form, and Ben now of course doesn't have to let any of them go, as Jack and Juliet aren't there, don't think she'll be happy with Locke after this!

[redwinegoblin]

^^Yes!! Icky and gross! Man I hate Jack!!... like Kate's gonna sit and wait to be rescued by him like some damsel in distress cos she so couldn't try and find her own way off the island...grrrrr....

[bagels]

ok got something to say.probly bin sed before but neva mind.uno with the hole ben an locke thing and how locke got betta an bens not an ben dusnt no why cos he loves his island an hes been here longa than locke etc etc. do u think locke understands the island cos he looked into the smoke monster thing an it dint eat him? just a delayed observation on my part.probly loads of othas whove sed the same thing b4

[xanderwayne]

loved this episode. great scenes with ben and locke, stil h8 locke tho lol. didnt expect tht was how he got in the wheel chair tho!! also, unlike many others on ere, i loved the scenes with jate! cant w8 2 c wat happens now, wat with lockes dad (how did e get there btw!) and this idea of the connection with sawyer, interesting!

[April_Rose]

[bagels]

yea thas a good point april i forgot bout locke being cured straight away. maybe ben although he's lived ther all his life and what not is not recovrin from his opperation quickly becos like locke said he's sort of mistreated the island/ isnt living on it properly if that makes sense.cant reamenber what he said exactly but uno how he was saying to ben bout how they had proper houses and food and electricity anf locke dint think that was the right way to be usin the island or something or maybe i jusst dont no what im talkin bout anymore.

[April_Rose]

You could be right, maybe Ben did mistreat the Island in some way and that's why he hasn't been cured, it's hard to know, I'm sure we'll find out at some stage! Maybe it is that they have fridges and electricity and everything, but mayeb it's something else.
