Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Richard visits young John Locke, he asks him to identify the items that belong to him, even though he never saw them before. This is the same way that the fourteenth Dalai Lama was found; monks showed him several items, of which he positively identified several that had belonged to the previous Dalai Lama by saying they were his. This convinced most Buddhists that he was the reincarnation of the former Dalai Lama, and therefore their rightful spiritual leader.
- GoofsAt 26 minutes, the captain says to stay on the bearing 305, "...the only way to get to or from the island." In reality, a bearing of 305 would take you in one direction (from an earlier episode, it is the bearing from the island to the freighter.) To get to the island from the freighter, the bearing would be 180 degrees from 305, or a bearing of 125.
- Quotes
John Locke: What?
Ben Linus: He actually thinks staying was his idea. Not bad, John. Not bad at all.
John Locke: I'm not you.
Ben Linus: You're certainly not.
- Crazy creditsThe Producers gratefully acknowledge the cooperation of the people of Hawaii and their Aloha spirit.
Featured review
Searching for the cabin
When 'Lost' was in its prime, it was must-watch television. Remember first watching it, found it remarkably easy to get into, was hooked from the start and was on Season 3 by the end of one week. The general consensus is that the final season is a disappointment and cannot disagree.
Season 3 was for me a solid if uneven season, with many brilliant episodes but a few slightly underwhelming ones, an inconsistent first part of the season and containing one of 'Lost's' low points "Stranger in a Strange Land". Season 4 had a good amount to live up, and its first episode "The Beginning of the End", was a brilliant start. The following episodes between that and this were generally strong, with "The Constant" being a season and show high-point although "Eggtown" and "The Other Woman" disappointed.
While not one of the best episodes of the season or show, "Cabin Fever" is very nicely done. It is more a cooling off putting things into place episode, where character development is advanced but story progression has been stronger before and since.
Found the candy bar scene between Hurley and Ben, intended to be a battle of the emotions, to lack tension and being more like filler as well.
There is a lot though for fans to sink their teeth into and satisfyingly chew, a good deal happens with a lot of characters involved making for a densely written episode that doesn't make the mistake of being shallow.
"Cabin Fever" doesn't feel dull and has enough tension, fun and emotion to keep one engrossed. Locke is very interesting and one doesn't feel like the episode is reiterating known knowledge or going round and circles, and the dream is imaginatively surreal. The ending is surprising
Can't fault the performances, with a terrific as ever performance from Terry O'Quinn and Jorge Garcia and Michael Emerson being more than up to his level.
Nor the stylishness and atmosphere of the visuals, nor the effectively understated and chilling use of music, taut writing and the tightly controlled direction.
Overall, very good. 8/10 Bethany Cox
