Lost’s Season One Finale

 

The last episode in season one, entitled ‘The Greater Good’, leaves viewers with some pretty strong questions about the island. As always the writers of Lost leave viewers begging for more answers. By this time most viewers start to realize that while a greater picture is being laid out, the show continues on more of a haphazard style. I usually watch this show on satellite tv because I have the option of recording it on my DVR.

In this episode the survivors start to question the morality of Locke. Many of them believe that he killed Boone and lied about it. Boone, no longer there to defend him, was really the closest character to Locke. Locke seems to continue his obsession with the hatch in the ground but refuses to tell anyone about it. After Shannon asks Sayid to avenge her brother, Sayid starts to interrogate Locke about what happened in the woods. Locke tells him about the plane and Sayid insists Locke take him there. Once there further questions from Sayid convinces Locke to reveal that he was the one to attack Sayid on the mountain and destroy his tracking equipment.

Sayid tries to convince Shannon that Locke is innocent but Shannon decides to take matters into her own hands. She steals the lock box key from Jack and confronts Locke in the jungle with a gun. Sayid tackles Shannon and the bullet barely misses Locke. I am sure that this will start to destroy Shannon and Sayid’s relationship.

On another part of the island Micheal and Jin are preparing the raft. They claim that the second raft (the first one was destroyed in the fire set by Walter) will be ready very soon. This season does not cover the voyage of the raft but I am sure we will see it back again in season two.
