Some Like it Hoth

[Thor Twain]

"You're just jealous your power isn't as cool as mine." :lmao:

I also liked how Hurley was writing "The Empire Strikes Back". Good stuff, Hurley!

I liked how we maybe saw a flash of the old Jack. He let Roger know it wouldn't be cool if he reported anything to Horace about Kate. He still loves her and won't let anything happen to her.

I think we're also seeing the beginning of the end for the Losties in the Dharma village. How will Sawyer be able to cover up what he's done now? Is he going to kill that guy that had the tape? He can't very well just threaten him and expect him to keep quiet. If he kills him, then how do you explain his absence?

What lies in the shadow of the statue? Maybe Jughead? I've seen that speculated about on various websites. It's possible, but I think it would be more likely Jughead was under the hatch that was being built last night.

The worker that died... was he at the hatch construction site when he died? Miles said he died when a filling pulled out of his tooth and went through his brain. Obviously, he came too close to a powerful magnet when he was digging. I think we're getting close to seeing 'the incident' they've talked about since season 1. Will it be Jughead going off? Will it be an accident involving the electromagnetic properties of the island? I'd say we're close to finding out!

The next episode we get is going to be a wealth of information.
It's supposedly the episode where Faraday tells all regarding what he knows about the island.
Of course, since it's going to be that informative,
we have to wait two freaking weeks to see it.
But next week's special about the O6 should be fun to watch while we wait.
I'll have more comments about this show after a re-watch or two.
No big surprise that Miles is Chang's son.
That was one of the worst kept LOST secrets ever. :cool:
I'm starting to think that Jughead was a huge red herring, and that the incident has much more to do with electromagnetism than with ole Jughead.
Now that we've seen Chang and lil' Miles, I wonder if we will see Eloise and lil' Danny.

I'm not sure what to make of it when the writers throw repetitive numbers at us.
We get "4" in a very glaring way, twice at the beginning of this episode.
The apartment with the dead guy in it, is number 4.
Immediately after that, Sawyer is asking Dharma Miles to erase the security tapes from grid 4.
4 is the first in the "string of numbers".
Hmm.
Later, Miles visits his sick mother in Apartment 7.
7 isn't in the string and doesn't seem significant to me, but that number is big, in your face, and prominently shown.
And not for nothing, but Mom looks radiation sick to me.
When Miles overhears Horace talking to Pierre on the phone, Horace says to Pierre that he doesn't think the dead guy is dead due to electromagnetism. It seems that Pierre disagrees. Pierre knows something that Horace doesn't.
Mom told Miles that his father "kicked them out" when he was a baby.
I'm wondering if Pierre forced Mom and baby Miles to leave the island because he was afraid of the impending "incident".
More numbers...the amount of money Naomi offers Miles is exactly half the amount that Miles tried to blackmail Ben for.
Naomi offers 1.6 million, Miles tries to blackmail Ben for 3.2 million.
Humorous moment of the episode...Jack, of all people, tells Roger that it's a bad idea to go out and get drunk after having a bad day.
Oh the irony.
Perhaps the most curious thing about this episode are the guys in the van who abduct Miles.
The ones who say "Do you know what lies in the shadow of the statue?"
That is becoming some kind of secret code or something.
First Iliana, and now these guys.
Then these same guys tell Miles that he's "playing for the wrong team".
Miles replies, "What team are you playing for?"
Dude says, "The one that's going to win."
I'm wondering if these guys in the van are neither Ben's people, nor Widmore's people.
But maybe some darker third element, that goes back further than either one of them.
And when it comes down to the "battle" that has been predicted, Ben's people and Widmore's people are going to team up against this as yet unknown third element.
One thing is becoming more and more obvious.
"The Incident" plays a pivotal role in how things develop on the island after it happens.
I have a feeling that we had all better strap in for the last four episodes this season.
And man, it's gonna be one looo ng summer wait. :cool:

The guy in the van that asked Miles the question is Bram. He was one of those with Ilana on the island, too. I don't know if the question is so much a code... he told Miles he wasn't ready yet, meaning someday he will know the answer to that question? I don't know...

[mtj]

I still think that Iliana and her compadres are not of Widmore's doing.
They are some other faction that we don't know about yet.

[Thor Twain]

Ilana said she worked for the family of the guy on the golf course that Sayid shot. He was supposed to be working for Widmore. She could have been lying... and that could still turn out to be another faction, too... but I just remember her saying that she worked for his family.
