I actually don't have much to post tonight... this was a nice little LOST episode, but it mostly focused on filling in some character story and didn't really move the action or mythology forward much. As Damon & Carlton promised in the podcast, this one was just a bit lighter and easier after the couple of heavy ones we've had and before the crazy ramp-up to the season finale that's sure to come.
What's the deal with no new ep next week?!?
Instead of my usual summaries, here's just a list of some of my favorite things of this ep, spoiler-ific-y:
-> Little Miles, who has always seen dead people. At least as long as he knows. (What caused it? I'm still gonna bet on The Incident being the cause of just about everything freaky-deaky.)
-> Sensitive Goth/pierced teenaged Miles.
-> Yep, we all guessed it, Pierre Chang is his dad! Everyone, EVERYONE, on this show has daddy issues.
-> The mysterious dead body, Alvarez, was shot from inside by his own filling. That's always been some mighty powerful magnetism down in the Swan.
-> Hurley himself got to witness the creation of the Numbers - serial numbers stamped on the Hatch?!?
-> The Miles & Hurley buddy comedy stuff is golden.
-> Love Hurley, once again trying to figure out this time travel stuff in the way he can -- in this case, by "writing" the script to the Empire Strikes Back to send to Lucas. Hilarious!
-> Naomi's dead body "audition" revealed to us it was indeed Widmore who staged the fake 815 crash with all the dead bodies in the Sunda Trench. The dead do have a lot of info to share, it seems.
-> Now we know why Miles asked Ben for $3.2 m - he was just trying to double Widmore's fee.
-> Mainland Miles kidnapped by creepy Bram and the "what lies in the shadow of the statue" people. Well, now we know they're not from Widmore.
-> How creepy-strange that Miles was just watching his own baby self, with his supposedly deadbeat Dad very lovingly reading him a story. Loved that on his 3rd day there, Miles recognized his MOM getting behind him in the cafeteria line. But Hurley's suggestion that Miles go change his own diaper? Not so much.
-> Love Hurley as the family therapist.
-> Jimmy from Mad Men busted Sawyer for being the one to take Ben... "Get some rope." Um, okay Sawyer, whatever you ask!!! :-)
-> FARADAY!

I''m starting to keep a tally of all the things Jack caused by refusing to help Ben. So far it seems like it's heading towards Ben turning into an Other and inevitably the Purge.
Oh, Greg, I like it! Jack sucks. You could probably argue that whatever the repercussions of Sawyer-Kate's trip to the Hostile territory and Sawyer's "disposal" of the Mad Men security guy were also part of the Jack ripple effect. I think this is all what's going to blow their cover with Dharma.
