I'll refrain from writing a serious review, because I'm kind of running off emotion after Deus Ex Machina and I'm not really interested in analysing the semantics of what makes Lost a great show. It clearly is, I'm sure everyone watching/who has watched knows that, but there's something special about this series whenever it focuses on John Locke. To my understanding, I have never seen the actor who plays him in anything before, but the man is a marvel, an absolute wonder to behold. Sure, he's been given some amazing source material to play with - the character of Locke is so well-written, so easy to root for, so easy to fall in love with - but his performances across this first season have been nothing short of spectacular. He is hypnotising every time he's onscreen. This is the best episode of Lost yet, by a considerable margin, and a worthy follow-up to Walkabout in its exploration of John's backstory. God, the concluding 15-20 minutes of this are just brilliant, so emotionally involving that they'll wring your neck out if you allow it. It sums up where I'm finding the most enjoyment in this now 20-year-old series, not necessarily the island's mysteries, but the characterisation, the individual drama. And John Locke really is one of the best characters I've ever seen portrayed on the television screen. Amazing.
Solid episode. Not much to say other than that 'The Bear' is consistently engaging and entertaining to watch. Every episode contains a selection of great moments; never slow, never boring. That's more than a lot of shows can say, right now.
The restaurant is in its final stages prior to opening and this episode surely sets the tone for the final two remaining. We see a little more of our newly reformed Richie, our love-struck Carmine, our perpetually tense Syd, and a heartwarming reunion between Tina and Ebra. Not a lot happens in this episode, but it scraps the abundance of montages that have been present within most in-timeline episodes this season and dials up the conversation. It features great scenes between Richie and Natalie, Carmine and Syd and more, all of which contribute to the character development that has been slowly laid down throughout Season 2.
Not a mind-blowing episode, but a lot of fun to watch. Excited to see where we're heading next.
