LIVE Posting: Episode 3.13-The Man From Tallahassee

Sorry, missed the first two or three minutes then had some computer issues so the first update contains the first two segments...

9:18PM-I love Locke episodes. What will happen to Kate and Sayid now? Jack has a reason for being there but they really aren't any good for the Others and there are no cages to hold them. Ready for the answers!...

9:30PM-Loving the episode. They aren't beating around the bush, they're giving answers. Will Jack really get to leave? How many ways do the Others have to get off the island? If the beacon is broken for the sub to get back, would they send Jack away with their only way off? Will Juliet get to leave too? Will Locke sabotage the submarine? What put him in the wheelchair? I'm guessing we'll see it, hopefully...

9:42PM-So this Ryan guy appears to be the new Pickett, the mean Other. Now maybe he'll hold a gun to Sayid's head and Sayid will get away and Juliet will kill Ryan too, lol. So the Others eat Dharma food but also chicken and watermelon. How many Others are there? How many Others have been there their entire life? How many people, like Juliet, want off the island? Will Locke follow through on his threat? What did Ben mean by his box analogy? Does this episode really have to end? lol...

9:53PM-Y'know, I'm not sure I can like Locke now. I understand not wanting to leave the island but to ruin all of your friends' chances too? The flight survivors won't like him, Jack and Juliet especially won't like him, Ben won't like him. He'll be doomed to live alone unless someone forgives him. So now what for Jack and Juliet? And we saw how he broke his back. I figured something was up, shouldn't have turned his back to the guy. Poor Locke but after watching what he did on the island, he's not on my favorites list. I was wondering if they would put Jack, such a key character, on hiatus like Michael and Walt. I guess the Others still have their big boat as an escape (the one they brought Jack and Juliet from Alcatraz to The Island)...

10:00PM-Another strong episode. Answers, moving pace, good storyline, good flashback, and good twist at the end. Didn't think about him not wanting to leave because of his fear of his dad. So now what will he do with his dad at his mercy? Forgiveness or finish him off? How on earth did his dad get there? Did the Others get him there? Did his dad get there looking for him? I wouldn't put it beyond the Others to retrieve him but how would they get him? Force? Promise of seeing his son? It's crazy.

Overall, great episode, moved along well. Missed the beach survivors but it was worth it. Next week's look good as well. They're putting out some great episodes now after a slow, and to some, disappointing first six episodes. I personally can't believe they're losing viewers but I don't imagine they'll lose more now...

Next week's episode, Episode 3.13, titled "Exposé", will air at 10/9c on ABC.

If you missed tonight's episode or would like to see it again, watch it for free at ABC.com tomorrow.

More than halfway done but still 10 episodes to go including the two hour finale!
