Who didn’t get excited when all saw the name of this episode, or we’re you like me and thought this had to be a typo? But, it was no typo and there was mention of Lord Vader, Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca and no sign of Marilyn Monroe anywhere. This episode was great great great! We get some great mysteries answered, and it wasn’t through any one really on Flight 815. Chills. Let’s see…
WHAT I GOT FROM: Some Like It HothBIBLICAL SENSEI love that the first frame in this episode was a microwave (radiation) reading the digital time, 3:16. That one goes out to my “main man in the mix” Darren Dean. I’m glad all the biblical references on the show are still there, even though the creators got shit for it in Season 1. You can’t deny it. Great opening scene, NUMBERS galore, a white rabbit, pretty damn creepy, and young Miles. Was this the first time Miles can hear dead people? Nice! Well, most of my readers love their Miles, this one is for YOU!
WOMEN AND THE ISLANDYet ANOTHER dying woman who we know was on the island. Lara is lying on her deathbed, and first thoughts are Theresa Spencer. The woman Desmond goes to visit when investigating Eloise and Farraday. What gives? Yes, Theresa may have not been dying, but in a comatose state of shock I guess, but it was a creepy resemblance. My thoughts are MAYBE it is true that women can give birth on the island, BUT MAYBE shouldn’t give birth on the island. If that’s the case and Miles is born on the island, did Theresa give birth on the island? Who is her child? And where the did Amy and Ethan go? Same place Lara and Little Miles did?
CIRCLE OF TRUSTWhat an honor for Miles to enter that secret club so fast. I’m thinking that not even Sawyer is in that group yet. BUT! Guess who IS in that circle?!?! Phil!!!! And we know how this “circle of trust” likes to keep secrets, meaning, our friend Horace spoke to Phil about the video-tape of Jim and Kate kidnapping Little Ben. So when Phil told Jim that he didn’t talk to Horace, well, chances are…he did. And did you see Juliet’s smile on her face when Sawyer knocks him out. Ha! Brilliant!
DHARMA MIX TAPE Albert Hammond’s “It Never Rains In Southern California” is playing when Hurley and Miles are on their way to the Orchid Station, and from what we’ve seen on the show, “It pours, Man it pours.” On the island a few weeks ago when it was pouring, well it was pouring off the island. When it was night, it was night, day, then it was day…etc. So sick from the way they play us on the day to night, rain or shine. Something’s fishy biscuits here.
AD: EVER SEE THE SIXTH SENSE..YEAH…I CAN DO THAT!Who said classifieds don’t work? Well, to be honest, I don’t think anyone has every said that really…but, it worked for Miles. My question really is…if his ad reads “I can communicate with the dead, anytime, anywhere…” why is he not the “biggest” thing in the world? Naomi finds him…but there has to be a bigger plan in all this. Did Pierre hire Matthew Abbadon to find these four? Did Matthew get his hands on a certain videotape that was leaked out? I need to post that video. Or, does It JUST so happens (coincidently) that Miles is one of the four? Hmmmm…
THE DHARMA STRIKES BACKWhoa man! Let’s play this game. We now know that Miles is the kid from the opening scene in Season 5’s “Because You Left”, and Pierre is his daddy and we play the “Luke I Am Your Father” game. Other great secrets from Star Wars we need looking into, Luke had a “surprise” sister, Leia. Do we think that the shock of Empire Strikes Back is over in just this episode or are we going to see a “Return Of the Jacob?” Who could be Miles’ sister? How did Marvin Candle lose his hand…like LUKE?! So what, is Pierre Luke or Vader? Or, OH NO?! I’m LOST!
THE BIRTH OF THE NUMBERS Well, not really. We got our hands on the numbers with the science expedition a few weeks ago, seeing as Jin is there…but like Hurley said “The one that crashed our plane.” My question and I heard Vanessa mention this too…”Why do they need the serial numbers for the hatch, when it’s JUST a pile of dirt right now?” Right?! Why do they need the serial numbers sooo soooooon? Take a breather and finish the toilets or get the computer first. Waaaait, computer? I wonder what the FIRST computer will look like…the one where Jack will have to push numbers to save the world…you know…the one that
“Because the last time I saw a computer that was going to save the world, it didn't look like that..”. Which the episode that line was in, was one of my favorites…
Orientation. Rewatching Season 2 yet? Ya gotta.
ABC SUUUUUUUCKSWhen is ABC going to communicate better with their local affiliates?! Ya donkeys. Missed the fish taco joke…but got to where Bram said “Name is Bram”, so pheeew.
BRAMS PLANSI really hate this dude. Just the look of him in the past few episodes and all. Hanging out with Ilana as a her do-boy and then we find out he’s recruiting Miles. “Do you know what lies in the shadow of the statue?”, really? REALLY?! Are people quoting a new Coldplay record title or are we really serious? So this line ISN’T “Tell my sister I love her?” How does Bram KNOW SO MUCH? He mentions “empty holes” inside Miles? WHAT?!? Foreshadowing. Bram is also on the team that’s going to win?!?! CRAZY! Was he giving out a spoiler, hope you were really listening.
TALKING TO THE DEAD: DEATH MATCHESSo. Team Miles can talk to the deceased when after dead and it’s not talking, but feelings. We’ve seen him repeat what they say, but not actually have to talk and have a conversation with them. It’s not like Ricky Gervais in “Ghost Town” and if Ricky didn’t actually talk to them, it would have been the worst silent film ever.
Now. Team Hurley/Hugo. He actually has full on conversations with them. We’ve seen him talk to Dave ON the island. No one said Dave was dead, I know, but he was in his head. Keep that in mind. Then in Santa Rosa, we’ve seen him speak to Charlie, Eko (playing chess), and also we’ve seen Jack, Matthew Abbadon, and Walt come in. And they called those Flash Forwards…hmmm.
So, what’s the difference between the two and is one of them full of Polar Bear feces? What is up with Hurley? If Dave came to visit in Season 2? Is Santa Rosa NOT far from the island at all? Miles…he can ACTUALLY feel what they are saying, understand them and work for them on a grieving family’s behalf. In
Confirmed Dead his first centric episode he talks to that woman and helps with her sons death. He also knew Jack was a “Pretty Boy” before he even saw his face.
But, then in the last centric scene we see Miles go back to Mr. Grey (Black/White) to tell him he was never able to speak to his son. Why?! Because he was cremated? Uh, no! Right? Did he really speak to him and lie to Mr. Grey, because he thought Mr. Grey needed to hear those words of talking to his son while he was still living? Did Miles grow a heart? Is Miles REALLY working for Bram, and not Widmore then? Oh the mysteries!! One mystery solved though…The Ghostbuster Device Miles had in
Confirmed Dead was a prop and wasn’t needed. Ha! SOLVED IT! PWNED that shitty device!
THE NEW DHARMASo we know there is Dharma on and off the island. The Lamppost was our first encounter with Dharma still working their asses off to get back to the island. So was Bram and Ilana hired on by Eloise to get back there and start working again? But, how would they know you ask?
Remember this ComicCon video? Remember last week we talked about Ilana and Bram being new Dharma. This is it!!! Watch the video and imagine Pierre talking to Ilana and Bram. Now imagine them doing everything they can to come back to the island. Here they are! Plus, where is Pierre? Swan! YES! That hatch will be built before you know it! Go watch the video.
It’s funny that it’s two weeks in a row now, I have a video up, or was that three weeks, oye, I’m so tired. HA!
WHAT’CHA TALKIN’ ‘BOUTHe’s very quiet Ms. Lara Chang to Landlord. No he’s not. Miles never shuts up. Amazing!
Well, here we go… Juliet to Kate.
YES YES YES!!!!!!!! She’s back folks! That was great on how dumb Juliet plays with Roger Linus, but then when he walks out, she has that “I’m cool as shit” look on her face and says the words I think are the most amazing “I came here to chew bubble gum and kick ass…And I’m all out of bubble gum” lines in films/TV…”Here we go!” Simple and SOOOOOO effective. (and YES, I did quote Rowdy Roddy Piper!!!)
How do you spell bounty hunter? Hurley to Miles. What?! He can’t spell bounty hunter? But I’m sure he’s fine with Calrissian, Palpatine, Millennium Falcon…but BOUNTY HUNTER?!?! Come on!!! Hugo’s back, bring back Hurley!!!! Ask Sawyer, he’s always out for a bounty, and maybe find Locke, our hunter!
Let’s face it, Ewoks sucked dude. Hurley to Miles. This one was for all the older crowd folk watching who never saw Clerks to understand that which one was better and why. A conversation most of us Sci-Fi geeks have on a yearly basis.
FINAL THEORYWhen Hurley brings
Empire Strikes Back to the table, this is a huge reference that all our LOSTIES whom have “Daddy Issues.” Could all this war, hostility and “the purge” be avoided if Ben would just work it all out with his father, if Pierre and Miles can have that beer, or Jack and Christian would just stop drinking Pierre and Miles beers (times 12)? Will this scene that Hurley and Miles have when talking
Empire Strikes Back mean anything or will we all look back at it and scream “See Miles, you should have listened to Hurley for once.”
We are going to see a war between New Dharma, Hostiles, and LOSTIES…which side do you chose? BUT. What daddies will be there? Roger will die from Ben, will Jack ever see Christian again, Miles should have that beer with Pierre, and Charles Widmore will get back to find out he has another? This episode opened a door to Parental Therapy for our LOSTIES and a lot of us who are on the fence of who, what, and why with their fathers. NO Hurley all of this doesn’t have to be resolved if Miles just has that beer, but honestly, half this show would have never been written if Jack never turned in Christian after that drunken surgery. Shit will hit the fan soon, which father do you chose?
(ALL MY PHOTOS THIS WEEK WAS RECOMMENDED BY SOMEONE…GETLOSTPODCASTMEDIA.COM IS PROVING THESE SCREENCAPS AND I FEEL YOU SHOULD CHECK THEM OUT. I DON’T KNOW ANYTHING, BUT THE NAME IS COOL AND THEY LIKE LOST. BOOYA!)
That’s it folks. I am seriously DEAD to the world. I’m not going to be able to play touch up in the morning seeing as I have WORK 7:30am and all day. I will have this copy and pasted to get this blog up by sometime 9am-10am.
Really quick, I can see some people not liking this episode, and trust me, you will be high fiving it in the next 5 hours left of this season. HIGH FIVE I tell ya. Also, I high five all of you for still reading this blog after 3 seasons of me posting next morning and always have. THANK YOU!
