Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWriter and producer Carlton Cuse considers this the worst episode of the series because of the flashback scenes. He admitted that by that time the writers didn't know what else to tell about Jack's past and just used Fox's real tattoos as inspiration.
- GoofsThe Chinese characters in Matthew Fox's real tattoos mean "Eagles cleave the air", and the producers did not actually cover up these characters with new ones that mean "He walks among us, but he is not one of us."
- Quotes
Isabel: "He walks amongst us, but he is not one of us." Your tattoos -- that's what they say.
Jack Shephard: That's what they say. It's not what they mean.
- Crazy creditsThe producers gratefully acknowledge the cooperation of the people of Hawaii and their Aloha spirit.
Featured review
He Walks Among Us But He Is not One of Us
Sawyer, Kate and Carl reaches their island at night, and the reluctant Kate wishes to return for Jack. Meanwhile, Jack is interrogated by Isabel about the incident with Juliet and when she mentions the meaning of his tattoo, he recalls his vacation in the paradisiacal island of Phuket, in Thailand, where he dated the sexy, mystic and mysterious local Achara (Bai Ling). Ben has an infection in his spinal column, and Jack negotiates the freedom of Juliet, who was going to be sentenced to death for Pickett's murder in the policy of "an eye for an eye" of "The Others". Later Jack recalls what happened to him when he forced Achara to disclose her innermost secret.
"Stranger in a Strange Land" is a reasonable episode based on the past of Jack in Thailand and his passion for Achara. His recollection is triggered by the question of the "sheriff" Isabel, and later with the situation of Juliet. The secret of Achara and the reaction of her brother and friends are quite incomprehensible and exaggerated. In the end, Jack has the same feeling while walking with "The Others" that he had in Phuket, of a complete stranger in a strange land. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): Not Available
Note: On 7 April 2013, I saw this episode again on DVD.
