Directors Guild of America Award
nomination.

Plot

The episode begins its narrative in late December 2004, over ninety days after the crash of

Matthew Fox
) leads most of the survivors to the island's radio tower to communicate with a nearby ship. Intercut with this story are off-island scenes spotlighting Jack, who is shown as being suicidally depressed and addicted to painkillers.

Flash sequences

Jack is shown to be depressed, bearded, heavily drinking and addicted to oxycodone. After reading about the death of someone he knew, Jack appears to be ready to commit suicide by jumping off the Sixth Street Viaduct bridge. However, a fiery car crash occurs on the bridge before he jumps and he goes to the victims; it is eventually revealed that the driver crashed after being distracted by Jack. Later, Jack visits the memorial service for the person he read about and finds himself to be the only attendee. In the last of the flashes, Kate appears and Jack discusses the island with her. In a twist ending, it becomes clear that the sequences are actually flashforwards rather than flashbacks.[2] Jack tells Kate about the memorial service but Kate, acting distant toward him, coldly retorts that she would not have gone had she known. Jack also talks about using the "golden pass" they had received from Oceanic Airlines to fly back and forth across the Pacific Ocean every Friday, hoping that he will crash in the island. Jack laments about having to lie and that they should never have left. However, Kate disagrees and leaves while Jack cries out that they have to go back.[3]

On the island

The Others intend to attack the camp and kidnap pregnant women for scientific research.

Bernard Nadler (Sam Anderson) remain at the beach, tasked with shooting the tents while the rest of the survivors journey with Danielle Rousseau (Mira Furlan) to the radio tower to communicate with Naomi Dorrit's (Marsha Thomason
) nearby ship.

The Others arrive, and while Sayid and Bernard detonate their tents, Jin misses his target, which results in their capture.

) surrenders but Sawyer shoots him anyway.

In The Looking Glass

Charlie Pace (Dominic Monaghan) is captured by the resident Others Greta (Lana Parrilla) and Bonnie (Tracy Middendorf). Ben Linus (Michael Emerson) learns of Charlie's infiltration and sends Mikhail Bakunin (Andrew Divoff) to the station to kill the three to preserve the signal jamming. Mikhail arrives and kills Greta and Bonnie, only to be shot through the chest with a spear gun by Desmond Hume (Henry Ian Cusick) who emerges from a closet where he had hidden after diving down a short time after Charlie. Getting the code from Bonnie before she dies (the notes to the middle eight of "Good Vibrations" by The Beach Boys), Charlie disables the jammer, and is contacted by Penny Widmore (Sonya Walger) via video transmission. Penny informs Charlie that she does not know Naomi, and did not send the boat that Naomi claims to be from. Despite his injury, Mikhail manages to swim out of the station and blasts the window of the jamming room with a grenade, killing himself and flooding the communications room.[9] Charlie locks the door to save Desmond from drowning with him, but before he drowns, Charlie writes on his hand so Desmond can read: "NOT PENNY'S BOAT".[8]

Alex (Tania Raymonde) – Rousseau's daughter and Karl's girlfriend[11] – to meet up with the survivors to persuade Jack not to call Naomi's ship for rescue.[12]

Kate is upset about Sawyer not wanting her to come back to the beach with him to rescue Sayid, Jin and Bernard. Jack tells her it is because Sawyer was trying to protect her. When she asks why Jack is defending Sawyer, Jack informs Kate that it is because he loves her. Kate also witnessed a kiss between him and Juliet. Ben and Alex intercept Jack's group; Ben informs Jack that Naomi is not who she says she is, and making contact with her boat will be disastrous for everyone. Ben orders the shooting of Sayid, Jin, and Bernard, and when Jack hears three shots, he attacks Ben and punches him in the face repeatedly. Unknown to Jack, the shots were fired into the sand, following earlier orders from Ben. Rousseau meets her sixteen-year-old daughter Alex, who was kidnapped by the Others shortly after her birth,[13] and they tie Ben up. The trek party, now able to get a signal, arrives at the radio tower. Rousseau disables her distress signal, freeing the frequency for Naomi. However, Naomi is knifed in the back by Locke, who threatens to kill Jack if he calls Naomi's boat. Locke cannot bring himself to kill Jack, who communicates with George Minkowski (Fisher Stevens) on Naomi's boat. Minkowski tells the survivors they will be sending rescue.[8]

Production

From left to right: actors Jorge Garcia and Daniel Dae Kim with executive producers Damon Lindelof, Carlton Cuse and Bryan Burk

The episode's title is an allusion to Lewis Carroll's novel Through the Looking-Glass[14] and a reference to the fictitious Dharma Initiative station featured in the previous episode. Shooting began on April 13, 2007[15] and ended on May 7, 2007.[16] The writers were so far behind schedule that parts of the episode were shot while later parts were still being written.[17] Filming mostly took place on Oahu, Hawaii, with additional scenes shot in Los Angeles.[18] The hospital scenes were filmed on the same sets used for the ABC show Grey's Anatomy.[19]

Despite not being mentioned in the official press release,

pilot for CBS' Demons.[25] Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse lent their voices for the unseen roles of the flight captain and newscaster, respectively.[26]

The set of the Looking Glass communications room

This episode concluded the story arc about Charlie's death, which began earlier in the season when Desmond prophesied Charlie's death.[27] Throughout the season, Charlie escaped death;[28] however, Desmond told Charlie that he had to die in order for his girlfriend, Claire Littleton, to get rescued from the island.[5] The storyline of Charlie's death was conceived while producing the latter part of the second season,[29] after the storyline of Charlie's drug addiction finished.[30] The news of his character's death was broken to Monaghan two episodes in advance,[31] to which Monaghan felt "relief" for knowing the future of his job on the show.[32] On the night of Monaghan's second-to-last day on set, he was presented with a canoe paddle that had been made by the cast and crew.[33] Monaghan hoped to return to Lost as a guest star in flashbacks or dreams.[34]

Jack Bender stated that Matthew Fox "really commits body and soul into the story he's telling" and Fox questioned whether he had ever been more tired than while shooting the double episode.

Comic-Con International 2007.[40] The funeral parlor that Jack visits is called "Hoffs/Drawlar", which is an anagram of "flashforward".[41] The idea of flashforwards was conceived by creators Lindelof and Abrams during the show's conception.[42] However, Cuse and Lindelof only started fleshing out the idea at the end of the first season, after they realized that flashbacks would eventually stop being revelatory and knew that they would eventually have to switch to flashforwards.[43] With the announcement that the series would conclude 48 episodes after "Through the Looking Glass",[44]
they felt comfortable playing flashforwards as early as the third-season finale.

Post-production wrapped on May 21, 2007, only two days before it aired on television.

2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike; they were written by the marketing company Met/Hodder.[52] This enhanced edition was viewed by almost 9 million Americans.[53]

Reception

Ratings

Critical response

BuddyTV praised Fox's lead performance as "Emmy worthy"[61]

The episode garnered universal critical acclaim.

San Jose Mercury News called the finale a "jaw-dropping exercise in good storytelling."[67] The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette commented that the flashforward "twist gave the saga renewed momentum as it begins its march toward a 2010 finish."[68] The season finale was summed up as "a mind-blower, for sure, a radical two hours that gave us major fake-outs, an army of dead bodies, the possibility of rescue [and] diverse portraits of heroism" by The Boston Globe, who added that the death of Charlie was "the most touching loss of the series so far."[69] The Palm Beach Post[70] and Wizard named it the "Best Cliffhanger" of 2007.[71] The Chicago Tribune called it "a qualified success" with excellent pacing and action, however, the flashforward scenes were thought to be uninteresting and "clumsy".[72] Time ranked the episode as the best of 2007[73] and the "Rattlesnake in the Mailbox" as one of the ten best scenes of 2007 television.[74]

The Futon Critic placed the episode first in the site's annual "50 Best Episodes" list.

TV Squad gave the episode a 7/7, noting that "the writers followed through on Desmond's premonitions and successfully delivered the highly anticipated game-changer."[85] Television Without Pity gave the third-season finale an "A".[86] The Sydney Morning Herald wrote that Lost "may have unjumped [the shark] with [the] flashforward."[87] Entertainment Weekly ranked it as one of the top ten episodes of 2007,[88] saying that the cliffhanger "[revealed] new dimensions to [Lost's] creative world."[89] Zap2It questioned "whether to be deeply frustrated (again), really, really confused (a distinct possibility) or just in awe of the incredible mind-(ahem) show runners… have pulled off."[90] The writing for Locke was criticized, and one IGN writer said that "it seems irrational that he would go and [stab Naomi] in the back without explaining himself."[91] Lindelof stated "that we might be willing to give [Locke] the benefit of the doubt for any action he took in response to [lying, gutshot, in a pit of Dharma corpses for two days and on the verge of taking his own life], even if considered slightly 'out of character'."[92] Film and television director and writer Kevin Smith said that "to do [3] seasons and then suddenly throw a massive curveball is just so dramatically satisfying, you just take your hats off to the writers in a big, bad way."[93]

Awards

This episode was nominated for

Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing for a Drama Series for the 59th Primetime Emmy Awards,[94] but failed to win in any of the categories.[95] This episode was also submitted for consideration for Outstanding Drama Series;[96] however, it was not nominated.[97] For his work on this episode, Jack Bender was nominated for the Directors Guild of America Award for Outstanding Directing – Drama Series.[98]
