"Walkabout" is the fourth episode of the first season of Lost. The episode was directed by Jack Bender and written by David Fury. It first aired on October 13, 2004, on ABC. In the episode, flashbacks reveal John Locke's plans to get to Australia and participate in a walkabout tour. In realtime, the shortening of food supplies causes Locke to lead a hunting mission after the wild boar in the jungle, while the castaways decide to burn the Oceanic 815 fuselage. John Locke's backstory was conceived during the writing of the previous episode, "Tabula Rasa", and the director of "Walkabout" decided to shoot the flashbacks in a way it enhanced the contrast between Locke's life before and after the crash. Problems involving the usage of real boar caused the producers to use computer-generated replacements and shots that suggested the animals' presence. "Walkabout" was watched by 18.16 million people and was reviewed positively, later being considered one of the show's best episodes. Wikipedia [ - ]
