It all comes crashing down for "Henry Gale" in the final moments of this week's episode, despite his efforts to earn Locke's trust. In flashback, we cringe as a much sadder version of Locke tries to win his father's approval once again. (Helen is not sympathetic.) Our guest is film and media studies professor Jason Mittell, who studied how fans responded to the blast door map and has written extensively about what makes "Lost" so great.
