Last night's "Lost" was a home run

My husband came home just before 10 p.m. and he literally stood up with his coat on for half the episode. He couldn't move.

Locke's back story was incredible (although the Internet is abuzz today about how a man could survive an eight-story fall).

There are theories that Locke's dad was drinking the same liquor (McCutcheons?) that Penny's dad offered Desmond. (I believe it).

An even better theory is that Locke didn't blow up the sub. He moved it and then blew up the end of the pier, so everyone thinks they can't leave the island. How else to explain why he was soaking wet when they caught him? Hmmm..

The best news of all is that Locke's dad is actually on the island, tied up and looking scared. Incredible! Let's hope he's not the real mastermind. Henry Gale played that card too.

Fun stuff! I'm counting on the rest of the season being this intense. Then "Lost" will have redeemed itself.
