Of Sound Heart and Sound Mind

"Where are we?"

Those words sent a chill down my spine. The Brig was in fact a prison on a ship, The BlackRock to be exact. Knowing this, The Brig also referred to a more metaphorical meaning as well. Locke had himself in a brig of sorts. He was still being held by the wanting of his father. Trapped in a pitiful state of juvenile unreason. Murder was out of the question for him, but he could have a murderer do it and with good reason.

He went and got Sawyer or maybe it would be more suitable to call him James, but I'll stick with Sawyer. Sawyer thought he was going to see Ben, but in fact he was going to see someone of much more infamy in his life, someone he would kill by the end of the episode. I feel now that Locke has a sound heart and sound mind as well as Sawyer.

Symbolism in Bare Feet
When Sawyer was walking through the jungle with barefeet, it reminded me of a similar scene where Jin and Ecko see the children walking through the jungle in barefeet. Sawyer was in pain. Were these children being punished when they were walking in barefeet? Just a silly thought that crossed my mind.

Naomi
We can finally call this parachutist by a name. Word spread quickly among the "A-List" survivors of the new arrival on the island. When Sayid interrogated her, like he does very well, he was suspicious. He was suspicious because he thought that she had no way to communicate with the ship she supposedly flew off of, but she had the phone. Does this mean that SHE can't be trusted? Who knows, Sayid isn't completely sure yet either. If ever he is, then she probably isn't a good person.
When Kate found out about Naomi she went straight to Jack. Of course, Juliet had to be in on the conversation. Then, her and Jack excluded Kate from a secret they have. This burned me so bad. Jack better have some good reasoning behind what he is doing.

This episode is loaded with splendid entertainment.

I have a new theory that I am working on that was sparked from this episode. I'll post it as soon as it's complete.

Tell me what you thought.

Namaste and Good Luck!
