Season 3 Episode 5 - The Cost of Living

A delirious Eko wrestles with demons from his past, while Locke and other castaways head to the Pearl, one of the Dharma Initiative's island stations, in search of a computer they can use to locate Jack, Kate and Sawyer. Meanwhile, Jack doesn't know whom to trust when two of the Others seem at odds with each other.

 

[EricNoah]

Mmm... the Pearl. That's the heart of some good mystery TV!

 

[Ambrus]

Who are these mysterious losties on the beach who insist on talking out loud and acting like primary characters?!? Didn't they read the mute tertiary character memo?

 

[EricNoah]

My wife wanted to know who the heck the golfing dude was last week. He really baffled her! She thought he must be vital to the plot if he spoke!

 

[Ambrus]

Hm. My guess is that they're anomolies of some sort; like Arzt. I wouldn't count on this strange occurence persisting much longer. If they keep it up they may give some ideas to the other thirty-some losties on the beach to get up off their rumps and do something themselves. That's dangerous thinkin...

 

[Taelorn76]

You have to love Hurley's remark to Locke, followed by the two new characters conversation about always wanting to participate. That is one of the things I like about the show. It's like the writers are intouch with what is being said on the net, how they sort of poke fun at themselves.

Another thing I realized is that Eko is the last of the tail section survivors. Or am I mistaken on that.

 

[Crothian]

No, there is Rose's husband who we haven't seen all season.

 

[Taelorn76]

No, there is Rose's husband who we haven't seen all season.

Oh yeah I completly forgot about both of them.



In the pearl hatch, the revelation that the monitors were feeds from other hatches, didn't Locke figure that out last season when him and Eko were in there and saw the hatch they called home on one of the monitors?

 

[EricNoah]

I could swear he saw footage of Jack or someone last season, yeah.

 

[Crothian]

The first time they were in Pearl I think they just turned on a monitor. THey didn't try to get feeds from other places.

Nice episode. Sad to see Echo go, he was one of the better characters. So, are the Others really divided or is this just another way to mess with Jack's head?
