5.13 Some Like It Hoth
Hurley: "It all could have been avoided if they just, you know, communicated. Let's face it. Ewoks suck, dude." Nice backstory for Miles. I've grown to like Miles. But I don't think we really learned much about him that we didn't already know. We knew he could communicate with the dead. We knew he was deeply into money but that he has a heart, even though he likes to pretend that he doesn't. And of course, we freak-out obsessed Lost fans figured out awhile back that Miles might be Dr. Chang's son. Although it may have been a real shocker for the more casual viewer who doesn't obsess about every stupid detail of this stupid show, like the fact that the episode began with a microwave timer at 3:16. Daddy issues, redux. I have to say, I don't know how Miles could resist getting to know his parents for three whole years. He wouldn't even look Dr. Chang in the eye. Hasn't Miles seen Back to the Future? The Changs looked happy, too. What broke them up? I wonder if Miles himself will have something to do with it? (Yeah, I know, whatever happened happened.) Miles and Hurley were a hoot together. (Although you could say that about Hurley and pretty much anybody.) I guess you're going to bond if you're delivering dead bodies and sandwiches together, and they do both talk to dead people. Loved the connection of the whole daddy issue thing with Hurley re-writing The Empire Strikes Back. Miles, I am your father. What changes would Hurley make? It's a nearly perfect movie (says Billie the geek). Maybe something that would preemptively wipe out the Ewoks? Naomi showed up in 2004 to recruit Miles. Bram from Flight 316 turned up in 2004 to recruit Miles, too. Bram said he had all the answers: about Miles' gift, about Chang. Apparently, Ilana and Bram and their merry band aren't the Others we know and love -- they don't know Ben, and they don't work for Widmore. So we have a whole new faction, the "what lies in the shadow of the statue" faction. (WLITSOTS, for short.) Lots of people have theorized that "what lies" is Jughead, and it's about to blow. (Which would explain why the statue is nearly gone and there's only a foot left.) *Something* had to be encased in cement under the Swan Hatch. *Something* is going to cause people to push that stupid button every 108 minutes. I bet we're about to find out what it is. Whatever that something is, it feels like it's going to correspond with the 1977 Losties getting into some deep crap with the Dharma Initiative. You can just feel their situation falling apart. What possessed Kate to try to make that asshole Roger Linus feel better? I know, best of intentions. Jack tried, but he basically just put a band-aid on it, and it's not going to hold. Especially now that Sawyer had to bonk Phil on the head. What is Sawyer going to do with Phil? There's nowhere to put him. Nowhere to hide. Nice cliffhanger. Faraday managed to become one of the hotshot Dharma scientists from Ann Arbor. Nice trick. Can't wait to hear about that one. Character bits: -- Miles came from the Island in the first place. Miles' power must come from the Island, because it would be an unbelievable coincidence if it didn't. -- Miles' gift doesn't work if the body has been cremated. He couldn't pick up on Gray's son. I seem to remember something about the Others needing Amy's husband's body. Just saying. -- Loved the zillion piercings and the skunk streak in Miles' hair. :) Though I have to ask, where did all the holes go? You can usually see piercing holes. -- Felix, the dead guy in the restaurant, was delivering info to Widmore on empty graves and an old airplane. (And we all know what that's about.) Have we encountered Felix before? Bits and pieces: -- Lots of Hurley's numbers. The microwave. 1.6 million. Miles's copy of Sports Illustrated had "After 23 years... new boss in L.A." on the cover. The tape Miles didn't erase was for monitor 4. The dead body that little Miles found was in apartment 4. And Hurley actually got to see his numbers being stamped on the Hatch door. -- Little Miles moved a ceramic white rabbit to find the key to apartment 4. Lots of white rabbits in Lost. -- Some poor schmuck named Alvarez got killed by a filling. I always knew dentistry was inherently evil. -- The blackboard that Jack cleaned had stuff on it about Egyptian history and interpreting hieroglyphics. -- Dr. Chang called Alcatraz "Hydra Island" and said they were doing "ridiculous polar bear experiments" there. And he was reading Me and My Polar Bear to baby Miles. -- Let's all remember that we saw Faraday in the flashback where Chang discovered the Time Travel Wheel Thingy. I bet we're about to see that, too. -- Brad William Henke (Bram) had a key guest role in several episodes of Dexter. I recognized him a few episodes back and had a feeling he was going to be more than background. -- Seventies music. "Seems it never rains in Southern California." "Love will keep us together." Wasn't it raining when they left L.A.? And our love rectangle is an eternal mess. Quotes: Hurley: "Why don't we carpool? It'll help with global warming. Which hasn't happened yet, so maybe we can prevent it." Miles: "I'm happy for you." Hurley: "You're just jealous my power is better than yours." Naomi: "My employer is willing to pay you one point six million dollars." Miles: "When do we leave?" Chang: "You, Hurley. You say a word..." Hurley: "Polar bear poop. Got it." Bram: "You're playing for the wrong team." Miles: "Yeah? What team are you on?" Bram: "The one that's gonna win." Win what? Three out of four polar bears, Billie My blog version of this review is here, if you'd like to comment. |
