courtneystodden: Lost Hiatus Fantasy League: Week 6 Update

Introduction
Welcome once again! The year is fastly coming to a close and so is the wait for Season 4.

Week 6 of the Hiatus League was a frustrating one. Instead of rebounding from our week-to-week decline in total episode points that began in Week 2, "Deus Ex Machina" puts us even further in the hole! The episode features very few of our characters, resulting in NEGATIVE total episode points!

Will we see an end to this decline? One can only hope. Perhaps our final two episodes will steer us in the right direction. But for now, enjoy the slightly altered format for the video update and check out all the League data below.

“Deus Ex Machina” (in 500 words or less)

Locke and Boone build a trebuchet to break open the hatch window. It’s a medieval weapon that Boone doesn’t know how to spell and it doesn’t open the hatch. Locke is frustrated. Then they notice Jungle John has a chunk of metal sticking out of his leg, but he can’t feel it. This worries Locke like you wouldn’t believe, because he was, after all, miraculously able to walk after the plane crash.

Just when Locke doesn’t know what to do, the Island sends him a sign. Well, actually it’s more like a dream where Boone is all busted up, an airplane falls from the sky, Locke’s mother shows up and Locke is confined to a wheelchair once more. What part of this vision sounds like a good idea?

Locke tells Boone about his vision and Boone asks if John’s been using that wacky paste stuff that made him see his sister get eaten. Locke says no and they trudge off through the jungle to find the airplane. They find it, but along the way Locke has trouble walking. Boone climbs up inside and finds out the plane is full of heroin from Nigeria. He tries the radio and talks to someone claiming to be a survivor of Flight 815.

All of this will make sense much later, but for now, Boone and the plane fall out of the tree. They both get mashed up, but Boone takes it harder than the plane. Locke hobbles his way over, picks up Boone and stumbles his way back to camp, where he lies about Boone’s injuries and runs away while Jack is asking questions that could save Boone’s life.

Locke is a broken man, crying and pounding on the hatch like a sissy. Just when it seems he has lost his faith, a light turns on inside. This too will make sense later, but for now, Locke’s faith is restored.

The B-Plot revolves around Sawyer having headaches. All he needs is glasses, but Jack asks him a bunch of embarrassing questions about hookers and STDs in front of Kate. Smooth move Doc. Sayid makes him a pair, which are ugly, prompting Hurley to make a witty comment during his 5 seconds on-screen.

Flashbacks reveal the origins of Locke’s relationship with his father. Big Bad Dad suckers Locke out of a kidney via a thoroughly laid out plan designed to make Locke think his dad actually likes him. This sets up years of pent up anger, cynicism and self-loathing for our dear Jungle John.
