Lost who is the man from tallahassee

He's a demon of the highest order, and his agenda is so dark and selfish it's impossible not to be impressed by his methods. I'm curious to see where the new battle lines are drawn in the sand as shifting loyalties and the new fact of their life on the island there's no escape now for any of them turns friends against one another Jack must be pissed!

Lastly, I want to talk about that mind-blowing ending in which we learn what stepped out of that metaphorical magic box Ben told Locke about. I'd still like to think that the box is a metaphor rather than a physical construct, but somehow, some way, something led to this moment in this place as Locke comes face to face with the mysterious "man from Tallahassee" who Ben claims stepped out of the box: none other than Anthony Cooper, Locke's father. Is it really Cooper? Is it a construct of the island's monster a la Yemi?

Or is it another test to see if Locke has the cunning and faith to be part of Ben's master plan? So what is this Magic Box bull? I looked through my old reviews and noticed a lot of mentions of special boxes: Danielle's music box, Kate's toy airplane, Kate's and Tom's time capsule, Michael's art work, and Locke, of course, worked for a box company.

Lenny the lunatic said that Hurley with his lottery numbers had "opened the box. More mysteries. I'm not sure if the Pandora's box you're referring to is the one from the Season One finale I think that's it , where Locke mentions that what is left inside is hope.

But there's that one, too. Anyway, I love the box mentions on this show, and I've been noticing them during this rewatch because, on True Detective , they talk about who a good "box man" is.

A good box man is a good interrogator, and can size up a suspect in seconds. Ben Linus fits the category of a good box man; Locke does not. Cool scene at the beginning:Jack plays baseball with Tom and a very flirt Juliet,Kate gives Juliet a nasty look,Sayid smiles sly and ironic as always,John thinks his plans yet. John Locke is again manipulated and betrayed by his creepy daddy,and he's used by evil Ben great acting.

Amazing the reunion between Jack and Kate at the game room great acting. She realizes that she messed up as always,he's so hurt and vulnerable around her. You only broke his heart. The submarine explodes. Season 3, Episode 13 The Man from Tallahassee. Directed by Jack Bender. Ben: You've been here 80 days, John. I've been here my entire life! So how is it that you think you know this island better than I do?

Locke: You don't have to pretend to be disappointed anymore. We both know you wanted it to happen. Ben suggests that Locke is afraid that if he leaves the island he will be back in the chair and that is why he wants to destroy the sub. Alex takes Locke to the submarine. Alex goes to get the pack from Ryan , who is guarding Sayid , who is handcuffed to a swing set. Sayid tells her she looks like her mother.

Locke asks where the electricity comes from, and Ben says sarcastically that they have two giant hamsters running in a wheel. Ben has photos of Alex throughout her childhood displayed proudly in frames on his wall. Ben tries to convince Locke to leave the submarine alone because he would have "a big problem with [his] people" if Locke were to destroy it. He says that he was born on the Island, but many of the Others weren't, and, though they love the island and would do anything to defend it, they need to know that they can leave if they want to.

Locke sarcastically suggests Ben should wish for a new submarine. He says Ben is a hypocrite and a pharisee for using electricity and guns. He says that Ben has no idea what the island really is. Ben asks how Locke thinks he knows the Island better than he does, and Locke replies, "because you're in the wheelchair and I'm not. Alex returns with the bag and Locke demands that she take him to the sub. Ben pleads one more time, telling Locke about his deal with Jack. He tells Locke that the submarine will leave in an hour with Jack and that it will never come back because the magnetic anomaly disabled their communications.

Outside, Alex tells Locke that Ben was manipulating him because that is what he does. She tells him he "makes you think it's your idea but really it is his" to which Locke replies that he will have to keep that in mind.

She shows Locke to the dock and he apologizes for involving her. We see Rousseau longingly watching Alex from the trees. Locke enters the empty sub and looks around, turning on the lights. Ben is visited by Jack and Juliet at his house. Jack asks for "one last favor," that his friends be released after he is gone. Ben agrees to let them go, shaking Jack's hand and giving his word to "let them go just as soon as you've left the Island. Locke leaves the sub, bathed in sweat, and is confronted by Ryan and the Others with Jack and Juliet.

Jack asks Locke what he is doing there. Locke apologizes to Jack just as the sub explodes. Later, Locke is cuffed in an industrial room when Ben and Richard Alpert enter. Locke guesses that Ben wanted him to destroy the sub. Ben confirms that Locke "made his dream come true" by leaving Jack unable to leave the Island, but without Ben having obviously broken his own promise.

Ben tells Alpert to uncuff John.
