  • Locke's True Colors

    This is the episode where Charlie loses it, and you find out what a self-righteous prick Locke really is. I really never liked Locke very much after this episode.

  • Poor Execution!!!!!

    "Poor"

    From the Writers Perspective:

    Charlie has is fans, so the producers know that they have to do a episode centered on him.

    However, the writers have no idea how to do that, since Charlie is not a strong characters and is very difficult to build a story centering him, that is worth watching and not boring.

    This episode show how the writers are "Lost".

    So what they did? They tried to tied the Island way to send messages to Charlie. This was very bad done, since even religion was put into this episode. This was unnecessary. Even Characters like locke made things out of their character.

    Overall, the writers tried create a purpose to charlie, tied is old addiction to make it difficult to be able to make it and with it, we have some poor scenes and a worthless flashbacks.

    My Point of View:

    The worst epiosode of Lost, no doubts about it. This episode separates super fan from regular fans. This is noticed from fans opinion, since there are fans that like all the episodes.

    Not all was bad in this episode, is just everything abot charlie was bad executed, even the flashbacks.

    Overall, this episode was worthless to watch and very boring too.moreless

  • Awesome.

    Charlie has a dream that Aaron's life is in danger and feels a need for Claire's baby son Aaron to be baptized. Claire is disgusted by Charlie and Locke moves the heroin statues to the hatch. In flashbacks, Charlie's one-hit wonder band unsuccessfully tries to regain some of their past fame. We learn about Charlie - my favourite character. I love Charlie's deams. I also love the scene where Hurley asks Sawyer about Libby, and Sawyer is so mean but I love him - you just got to love him! I love the scene with Ana Lucia and Jack and she asks him if he is "hitting" Kate - so funny. I feel sorry for Charlie but I love they way Locke hits him. Oh and the Charlie and Jack scene is awesome!moreless

    Charlie nos cuenta su infancia y sus sueos con Aaron. Y me pregunto qu es eso de los ngeles (su madre y Claire) y por qu justo con la llegada de Mr. Eko. El bautismo, segn Charlie, es la nica forma de salvar al nio del peligro y Claire, aunque no confe en l, se pregunta si no es lo conveniente. Le pregunta a Mr. Eko si esa es la solucin y el asiente. Nadie cree en Charlie, todos piensan que volvi a consumir herona. Y eso, creo, no lo favorecer de ahora en ms. Todo se vuelve negro, difcil.moreless

  • I think they should have called this one "Everyone Hates Charlie!"

    "Good"

    I felt so bad for Charlie in this episode, even if he did start a fire and kidnapp Claire's baby... Charlie's having very scary, very real dreams about baby Aaron, making him believe that Aaron is in danger. In one of his dreams Charlie actually takes Aaron from his cradle and wakes up holding him in the ocean. Claire slaps him and that is when my heart breaks... It wasn't his fault. It was a dream. Then Mr. Eko tells Charlie that he thinks Aaron might need to be baptized, and that is when our trouble begins. Charlie burns part of the camp to distract everyone so he can get Aaron baptized. Claire finds Aaron missing and flips out. Then the next thing I know, Aaron is back in Claire's arms and Locke is punching Charlie in the face- Multiple times! And this is the epsiode where I decide that officially hate Locke and that I am mad at Claire and Kate (for pushing Charlie away...I know she was protecting Claire, but still. It was annoying)

    Bottom line: Good episode, but really sad. =(moreless

  • Trivia

    ADD TRIVIA
    • In a Catholic baptism, a godparent is required during the ceremony. Only under extreme circumstances, such as imminent death, would the requirement be waived. Claire and Aaron are baptized with no godparents. This is likely because the only acknowledged Catholic character eligible to serve as a godparent is Charlie. Moreover, Catholic doctrine forbids the baptism of an adult (such as Claire) unless they have professed faith in the basic truths of Christianity, but Mr. Eko did not ask Claire anything about her beliefs. Edit
    • Numbers: 8 There are 8 Virgin Mary statues altogether in this episode. 1 that Charlies breaks, then 7 more that Locke locks up in the armory of the hatch. Edit
    • Numbers: 8 When Charlie and his band, Driveshaft, are recording the diaper commercial, the Director tells them to "rotate on the 8 cam." Edit

  • Notes

    ADD NOTES
    • Music: "He's Evil" by the The Kinks, heard playing in Charlie's apartment when he comes home. "Papa Loves Mambo" by Perry Como, heard on the record player when Hurley and Libby do their laundry. Edit
    • The original idea for the Butties diapers commercial was to have Drive Shaft appear on the famous Abbey Road pelican crossing in diapers, but they couldn't get the permit from the city to do it. Edit
    • International Airdates: - Denmark: April 5, 2006 on Kanal 5 Edit

    ADD QUOTES
    • Libby: I cannot believe you don't remember stepping on my foot. Hurley: I did? Libby: Yes, you did. And it was hard. I know that because I remember you... you were the last one on the flight, and you were all sweaty, and you had headphones on and... crunch. You stepped on my foot. Edit
    • Sawyer: (About Ana and Jack) That's the third time I've seen them walking out of the jungle. (suggestively) What do you suppose they're doing out there? Kate: Why don't you just do your exercises, Sawyer? Edit
    • Libby: Is this washer and dryer newer than everything else in here? Hurley: It washes clothes. That's all I need to know. Libby: Ah, finally, someone who keeps it simple. Edit

  • Allusions

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • The Beverly Hillbillies: Sawyer teases Hurley about doing his laundry with Libby and refers to him as Jethro. Jethro Bodine was a fictional character in this 1960s television sitcom. Edit
    • Bonanza: Sawyer calls Hurley "Hoss". Eric "Hoss" Cartwright was a big man, the warm and lovable middle son of Ben Cartwright in this TV cowboy show that aired from 1959 to 1973. Edit
    • The Baptism of Christ: The painting hanging on the wall in Charlie's dream is The Baptism of Christ by Andrea del Verrocchio and assisted on by Leonardo da Vinci. It depicts the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist. Charlie's vision on the beach is based on this painting, with Claire and her mother assuming the positions of the angels to the left. Claire is the one that in the original painting was executed by Leonardo. Although Jesus and John do not appear in Charlie's vision, the angels appear (Claire and his mother), as does the dove that flew toward Charlie. In the painting, the dove is released from God's hands. Edit
