it was VERY good! I'm sorry you missed it.

This one was mostly on the guy called Locke who has that weird air about him. The one who made the whistle and caught the dog. It turns out he has ALOT of knives! And when they run out of food, Locke takes Kate and the black man to go boar hunting.
Spoiler

They showed his life prior to the flight. He was kind of a loser. He was a military wannabe working a unimportant desk cubicle job being harassed by his jerk boss. He also has a "girlfriend" named Helen who is revealed to be one of those 976 phonegirls. He is constantly getting VERY angry about being told what he can't do. They hide it until the last five minutes of the show when the camera reveals this man is handicaped and in a wheelchair!

His grand plan to go on an aussie "walkabout" to prove he can survive is shot to hell when the guide won't take him cause of his handicap. Then we see him flat on the back from the crash. While chaos is arround him, he is startled by his sudden ability to move his toes. Then his feet. Finally in a miracle he works his way to a standing position.

So the reason he is so weird is that he's still adjusting to this "miracle".
