  • I Am A Psychic. I Warn People.

    "Great"
    By Rufam, Nov 29, 2010 Report Abuse
    Claire is the abandoned mother who finds the ideal advisor in an annoying and variable psychic. She gets punished for believing in such things by getting abducted by Ethan. Oh, who am I kidding? He was a REAL psychic! -

    This one had the potential to evolve into a spectacular episode, but the writer and director did not grab this opportunity. The episode is still good, but yet far from perfect, and this is mainly because of the mediocrity of the flashbacks (Claire is a likable character but what is more predictable than an abandoned pregnant woman? Also, a psychic? Seriously?) and the fact that most of the action that takes place on the Island is tardy. Except for the last few scenes of course, where it is revealed that Ethan is an OTHER and he abducts Charlie and Claire. Bwhaahahaha!moreless

    A badly wounded Sayid returns to camp and tells the others about Rousseau and that there are other people on the island. Claire wakes up screaming two nights in a row and insists that someone held her down and stabbed her stomach. This attack persuades Hurley to take a census of the survivors using the flight manifest, and he discovers that Ethan was not on the plane. In flashbacks, Claire finds out she is pregnant and her boyfriend leaves her. She goes to see a psychic, who says that great danger surrounds her baby. Wow - another awesome episode from Lost. Scary episode to be honest - horrible first dream by Claire. I love Charlie Pace best character ever! Ethan - scary dude is after Claire and her baby. He takes Claire and Charlie away - awesome storyline. "One sugar plum fairy, two sugar plum fairy" - legendary.moreless

  • Chilling episode that sets the tone for the rest of the series.

    Good episode, we get to know Claire so the fact that there are some boring parts I take for granted. If you know the ending of Lost this episode gives you the chills. We see Claires dream with John Locke's eyes looking like the devil and a psychic! The psychic is the beginning of a storyline where there are people who can talk with ghosts and see in the future, the paranormal... He wants Claire to raise her baby by herself, not by another. Did he know Kate was going to take Aaron of the Island? That the plane was going to crash? Question remains why he didn't prevent her from crashing... In this episode we first hear the Claire them, sorry but it is beautiful.moreless

    The start of this episode really sets the tone here, it is chilling and horrible, in a cool way that is. I love the scene. Claire's flashbacks are some of the best so far they were really strange the psychic knew or did he? Who was he? Was he an other? or just some dude. Anyway it was a cool episode for Claire her best of the series just slightly better than Par Avion. Shannon has a really funny line in this episode that always makes me laugh. Charlie also had some funny moments here. the middle parts of the episode were slower but then there is the ending one of my favourite cliff hangers of the series, "Where not alone", "Someone wasn't on the manifest". I get chills every timemoreless

    Now is time for a claire centric-episode and of course, you may think that is not good or will not create some great moments, at least, i was one of them to thought that.

    In the beginning claire is having this nightmares and nothing relevant happened, until the near end of this episode. The twist created was one of the best and is guarranted that you will love it.

    The writers used Hurley to create some funny Scenes, that was good.

    Claire flashback at the beginning seemed to be only about details and information, but than the flashback evolved to another level, a mythology and mysterious level.

    OVerral, we had some funny scenes, one of the best cliffhangers made in Lost, great twist and some mythology and mysteries, a 9 type of episode.moreless

    • Lord of the Flies: The idea of Hurley's to take down everyone's name is a lot like what happened in the Lord of the Flies where it was the boy named Piggy's job to take down everyone's name. This is yet another reference this show has made to that book. Edit
    • Sawyer calls Hurley "Stay Puft", a reference to Ghostbusters' Stay Puft marshmallow man. Edit
