Powell's Books Lost blog: The Brig
"The Brig" was the first episode written by Darlton Cuselof we've seen in a long time, and it was well worth the wait. The post is up at the Powell's Books Lost blog, and there's a lot there about war and slavery. It all comes from Locke and Cooper's namesakes; the philosopher Cooper had a theory of moral sense that the narrative is developing (especially with Sawyer), and the philosopher Locke had a particular approach to war and slavery that gets enacted by Lost Locke putting Lost Cooper in the slave ship's brig. I've never seen television perform ideas like this.
The episode has quickly made the shortlist for best of the season. For a lot of people, it made up for Bai Ling.
