Cabin Fever
aka: "John Locke: This is your life"
by Peter SorensenIn the eleventh episode of Season Four, Locke takes Hurley and Ben on a quick pit stop (literally) before finding Jacob's cabin. Keamy returns to the boat, sunny disposition intact, life aboard the freighter becomes increasingly perilous, and no one tells Locke what he can't... well, you know the rest.
Recovering from the emo-liciously bad episode last week took some doing, but man am I glad we had this episode to follow it up. It's an unwritten rule that any Hurley or Locke-centric episode is going to kick some cinematic ass, and this week did not disappoint.
Chock full of self-referential scenes and sneaky easter eggs-a-plenty, this week's episode also returned to the classic "flashback" formula, showing us the life and times of John B. Locke (the "B" stands for Buttercup). |

Something Nice Back Home
aka: "Charlie Brown Syndrome Attacks!"
by Peter SorensenIn the tenth episode of Season Four, Jacks health is seriously comprimised, forcing Juliet and Kate to work together to save him. Something goes terribly wrong as Sawyer, Claire, Aaron and Miles make their trek back to the beach from Locke's camp. Also, Jack mopes. A lot.
It had to happen.
After being on the receiving end of a cyclonic 1-2-Vaughn/Goddard knock-out punch of an episode last week, I knew that there would be no possible way to follow that up and that I would undoubtedly leave this week's episode feeling let down and disappointed. Sufficed to say, I hate being right sometimes. |

This week, the Secret Invasion crosses over into New Avengers #40, where we learn more about the reasons behind the secret Skrull invasion of Earth, the tumultuous history of the Skrull race, and get a glimpse of the greater plan.
On another note, Jessica Drew's dayplanner must weigh at least 50 lbs.

The Shape of Things to Come
aka: "The Linus Ultimatum"
by Peter SorensenIn the ninth episode of Season Four, a body washes up on the beach and leads to another startling discovery on the island. Meanwhile, Keamy and his mercenaries finally reach the barracks, and all-out battle ensues, claiming more than a few lives. Also, Ben somehow becomes my new favorite character.
For everything that I just experienced over the last hour, I feel like I should have paid for admission.
From the very opening of tonight's episode until it's spectacular end, I was completely and wholeheartedly enthralled. There was not a moment that I wasn't beside myself with fanatic glee, there was not a second that my heart didn't race with anticipation. In a season marked by a heroic return to form and incredible writing, tonight's episode stands out as one of the most phenomenal hours I have ever spent in front of my television. |

This week, in a tie-in to in Marvel's mega-crossover event "Secret Invasion", the infiltration of Earth claims it's first A-list superhero.
Editor note: Sorry to all the Hank Pym fans out there, but c'mon - Yellowjacket? B-List all the way. -Ed.
Over the last five issues of the Captain Marvel miniseries, nagging questions have surfaced regarding his apparent return from the dead and in the course of the final issue a Skrull is revealed... but not quite the way we thought.
