Featured reviews
An excellent LOST episode with many interesting turns.
Season 2 of 'Lost' to me was very solid with many good to outstanding episodes (with a notable exception being "Fire + Water", which took strangeness too literally). "?" is one of the season's best. Other previous Season 2 favourites are "Man of Science, Man of Faith", "Orientation", "The Other 48 Days", "The 23rd Psalm", "One of Them", "Lockdown" and "Two for the Road".
Following on from the devastating events of "Two for the Road", "?" has everything that makes 'Lost' so good and what a good episode of anything should do. It advances the island events and makes them even more intriguing.
In addition, it has many unexpected twists and turns, tension, suspense, emotional impact, intelligent philosophical elements, great character interaction (especially with the coming to terms with the devastating events of the previous episode) and flashbacks that fit within the story well and make an already fascinating character even more so.
Can't fault any of the acting, with Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje giving an especially powerful performance.
Visually, 'Lost' continues to be stylish, atmospheric and beautiful in "?", as always making the most of the island setting. The music is as always chilling and understated, the writing is taut and smart and the episode is one of the best directed ones of Season 2.
Overall, fabulous and a Season 2 high. 10/10 Bethany Cox
I don't know if the story goes some place,but every bit of it is excellent.I find the creativity and inventiveness of this show's authors outstanding.I don't mind very much about "DHARMA",instead I'm very interested about "John","Eko","Sawyer".(The story of the wonder,in this episode,was predictable,and yet,how wonderfully narrated.)
The music underscores very effectually a suspenseful scene.
As a matter a fact,till now each "Eko" episode,like this one,was a knockout.For me,"Eko" is the most interesting actor of this show.

- TriviaAfter the scene where Locke and Eko watch the orientation video for the "Pearl" station of the Dharma Initiative, a gag commercial is included in the next actual commercial break. This commercial sings the praises of the Hanso Foundation, which sharp-eyed viewers would recognize as being the copyright holders from the Dharma Initiative tape. This commercial included a website and a toll-free telephone number at the end (www.sublymonal.com and 1-877-HANSORG, respectively). Viewers who called the phone number were treated to an interactive presentation wherein they could listen to the voice mail messages of senior executives of the Hanso Foundation, and, when the phone call was "hacked" by a mysterious woman called Persephone, they could obtain a password. When visiting the website, viewers could play an interactive game which eventually unlocked access to the Hanso Foundation's homepage. If they tried to sign up for the Hanso newsletter on this site, the site would be "hacked" by Persephone, who would ask for the password from the telephone number. Those with the password were signed up to access "secret" anti-Hanso news and messages from Persephone.
- GoofsWhen Michael shot Ana Lucia and Libby, it was daytime (Libby had gone to the hatch to get blankets for her picnic date with Hurley). Meanwhile, Jack, Locke, and Kate were at the beach, to get the guns from Sawyer. When the four of them return to the hatch, however, it's dark. Shortly after, when Sawyer and Kate return to the beach to get the heroin for Libby, it's daytime again and Hurley asks if they've seen Libby, as he is still waiting for her to return for their picnic.
