S2: S.O.S.

S.O.S. - Save Our Show, I kid, but on second watch the second season has had some good moments but is no where near the quality of the first season.  The writers did a great job in the first season building up the hatch and Locke's involvement and now, thanks to Ben planting the seed of doubt in Locke's head, Locke is done with the hatch.  He's lost his faith and he's chasing the image revealed to him in "Lockdown" when the black light came on in the hatch.  His journey didn't end at the hatch like he thought, but continues on, he just didn't know it.

At the center of this episode were Rose and Bernard.  Bernard takes a dying Rose to be healed by some healer in Australia who can't heal her because it's not the right energy.  She then reveals that the island healed her and she knows that the island has healed others as well, i.e. Locke who she saw in a wheelchair before boarding the flight.

Overall, this was another lack luster episode that tried to have a touching moment at the end showing all the couples together.  Michael has returned in the final moment of the episode to move the story along.  There are only 5 more episodes left and I'm definitely looking forward to putting Season 2 behind me and moving onto Season 3.
