"Tom, you there?"
"Yeah Jack?"
"Tom, I'm gonna bring my people to the radio tower. Then I'm gonna make a phone call, and get all my people rescued. Every single one. And when thats done, I'm coming back. I'm gonna kill you."


Wow, this is like the best episode of Lost ever!

All I can see after just watching that is... WOW THAT WAS FRIGGIN AMAZING!!!

poor charlie

Naomi's evil... wished we'd seen more of her team, like at the end of the ep have a thing on her boat (like the portugeuse people at season 2)

Charlie didnt have to shut himself in, the looking glass would have taken ages to flood through that stupid window... now claire and charlie wont ever happen...

Jack is a twat in my books, ever since around the time kate and sayid etc saved him i havent liked him.. but now! god what a jackass... I'm with locke on this one and wtf happened to walt!? i bet we never see him anymore!!!

bah, heroes over, lost over, ugly betty over, prison break over.... anyone wanna recommend something else?

Lost isn't returning until '08

I think he realised that if he doesn't kill himself, then Claire won't get rescued as per Desmond's vision.

I just realised a flaw in the episode. Considering that the Looking Glass is pressurised, it is impossible for the water to rise to a level greater than the top of the window. This is because once the water level has reached the top of the window air would no longer be able to escape as air floats above water (and hence can't go under the water to escape out the window) and since the room is pressurised no more water would be able to flow in either.

You don't actually see how high the water level gets too, you just see that water is going up. Maybe Charlie, in a "greater good" moment realises that unless he dies, Claire wont get rescued unless he drowns, so he is going to stay in the room, even if he doesn't drown he will die due to asphyxiation.

It definitely shows the water level above the window after Charlie shows Desmond what he wrote on his hand and we see him just floating there...

EDIT: Got a picture of it:

Right you are, it is probably an embelishment in order to make it more dramatic. Lost doesn't always seem to stick to the laws of physics.

But TV is meant to be educational!
I only expect them to get their scientific facts correct like Stargate, Heroes, Battlestar Galactica and even South Park!! </sarcasm>
