Well, balloon in tree is a lot more helpful than go around mountain.
Now on to what proved a rather gripping installment ofLost.
The timer counts down.

Lockes legs are trapped beneath a blast door, so reluctantly, he explains the button to Henry.
Henryappearsto prove trustworthy and wriggles through the vents, ostensibly to push the button.
The timer counts down to zero, by the sound of it.
(Both objectives are accomplished.)
The man has a drivers license.
The jig is up.
The TiVo moment was, of course, the map.
(Why else draw it on a blast door in ink visible only beneath a black light?)
What appear to be rivers and landforms are superimposed over the diagram.
Theres a large I AM HERE scrawled next to the Swan, the Losties home hatch.
The Caduceus, the medical Hatch where Claire was held, is also clearly visible.
An odd box marked CVI (or something similar) is also visible.
Smaller, less legible notes are scrawled everywhere.
Oh yes: In the center theres a giant question mark.
As is only appropriate.
Speaking of mysteries: What of the lockdown?
Like, for instance, where the food comes from.
(See, Hurley?
There was no reason to hoard ranch dressing after all.
Just fulfill the terms of the experiment and more will be provided.)
Either way, it wants to be found.
But the question is, who takes the food to the Hatch?
And whence does this bounty fall?
Is there a plane?
And if so, how high would it have to be flying to escape the Losties attention?
All this after hed gone and bought the ring!
Anthony, he said his name was.
But thats probably one of many names.
But there are more urgent matters afoot.
The Losties now have a real, live Other in custody.
The crew either just gained an amazing asset or just took in a mind-gaming mole.
The good news is, he probably knows where to get more of those tasty Dharma-brand Lost Krispies.
What do you think?
Did Henry Gale allow himself to be captured?
Who drew the map?
And will the castaways ever discover all of their connections in their pre-crash lives?
