Lost Recap - Left Behind (April 4)
There quite a bit of information in this episode and a little comic relief, so I’ll start the discussion character-by-character.
Locke - Has he joined the Others? He just came right out and told Kate that he did not want to go home and that he was going with “them.” What is his deal?? Kate keeps asking him if he’s brainwashed, but he honestly appears very logical and rational. What could be going on??
Juliet - So, Juliet was gassed by her own people (so she says) and “left behind.” So, her first thought is to handcuff herself to Kate, drag her out into the woods, pretend to be passed out, and really pretend to be scared of the monster as if she was seeing it for the first time?? I’m with you, Joshy C. I do not trust Juliet AT ALL. I was so mad at myself for believing that she was really unaware of the monster! I couldn’t believe it when she pulled out the handcuff key and went to the key pad on the fence post. About the monster she said, “I don’t know what it is, but I know it doesn’t like our fences.” Yeah, right.
Kate - She’s such a warrior. I mean, she dislocated Juliet’s shoulder! It was such a great fight, by the way. Seeing Kate and Cassidy interact in Kate’s flashback was really interesting. And it broke my heart when Kate’s mother told her she’d turn her in if she ever saw her again.
Sawyer - How cute was he trying to “make nice” with everyone? Telling Claire that Aaron was “less wrinkly” was priceless. But it looks like Sawyer won’t have to be the leader for long because Jack’s coming back next week.
And what about Jack? How can he trust Juliet so much? Sure, it looks like the Others left her behind, but I think there’s more to this story. And I know that Kate “broke his heart,” but Jack should have better judgment. I’m disappointed with him.
Well, what did you think? What were your favorite scenes? What was with the monster flashing a bright light? Talk to me!

I don’t think Locke has been brainwashed. I think Ben, the master manipulator, has gotten to him. All of his life, Locke has wanted to be important and to mean something to SOMEBODY. Ben knew this and he knows he can use Locke’s “connection” to the island to make him feel powerful and wanted. I’m hoping that it all goes to Locke’s head and he tries to take power over the others away from Ben. How great would that be? Locke as leader of the others in a battle against his former friends? They’ve been setting up the Jack vs. Locke battle for a long time and this adds another dimension to it!
