Classic flashback Lost episode for Miles Straume. About time he got his due. Also looks like some group of people might have some answers for him... but he didn't want answers... he wanted money. But I digress...
2 VERY interesting moments in this episode (aside from the typical plot advancement and our first look at the Swan) We'll get to those in order.
Starting with the Off-Island flashback:
- So Miles and his mother are off the island and she hates his father. I'll bet Pierre Chang forced them to leave the island, cuz he knew the Purge was coming. I think I've already mentioned this on here somewhere, but if I haven't... do yourself a favor and watch this video real quick:
He probably saved his families life... and now there's some misplaced anger towards him.
- So Naomi recruits Miles and tests him on a dead guy named Felix. He was delivering materials on the graves and the plane rental to Widmore, presumably the crash that Widmore faked in order to get people to stop lookign for the island.
- Naomi offers to pay Miles 1.6 Million dollars (and now we know why he wanted 3.2 mil from Ben. He's a capitalist!)
- THEN!!!! THEN.... things get interesting. A group of dudes (the leader being Ilana's buddy on the island) Tell Miles he can't work for Widmore, and they can help him get answers about his Dad and his powers. I'm clueless as to who this group might be now. Any ideas? A completely new group? Do they work for Richard? They can't work for Ben cuz he didn't know em. I think. An island worshiping cult perhaps? Surviving Dharma members? I dunno.
Ok....
On-Island:
The plot progress with some trouble covering up the Ben lie... but the REALLY interesting reveal comes at the very end...
FARADAY'S BACK!!!
I didn't know he was REALLY gone. But it looks like he's been working in Ann Arbor (with the Degroots?) WHAT THE FRACK HAS HE BEEN UP TO!?!?!?!
Quick hits:
- Loved the Star Wars stuff
- Like Jack's new "whatever" attitude. But am waiting for the moment when he says "frack it!" and goes back to take charge Jack.
Anyway... special ep next week... in other words, a recap... then back to the good stuff.

Did you notice how fast Jack was able to erase that chalk board. Amazing!! Also had a real hard time following the "Empire Stuff"
ReplyDeleteWOW! A comment!?!? I was begining to question whether or not anyone actually read this or not.
ReplyDeleteI did notice Jack's cleaning of the chalkboard. Critics of the good Doctor would say he acted too fast and didn't think things through. To that I would say... FRACK THAT! He saw something that needed to be done and took action!!! What did you want him to do? Read a book or go ask Jacob?!?!
