I watch Lost and this season as one of the Delta Park Project’s research interns I figured it would be helpful to liveblog my thoughts. First of all, the episode description from Lostpedia doesn’t exist so here’s what TiVo says: Suspicions are raised when Ben is taken from the infirmary; Miles is asked to deliver an important package.
So here goes! I scribble these as I watch so I claim no coherency. It wouldn’t even make sense to anyone who doesn’t watch the show already and yeah, if you haven’t seen this episode, Thar Be Spoilers Ahead. Yarr.
* Time on the microwave? 3:16.
* Who is this woman? She looks familiar.
* That’s Miles. I’ll bet money.
* I feel like I’ve seen the guy too, but I don’t know why.
* Weird vision…of COURSE it’s Apartment 4.
* Has this happened before? How did he know to check the rabbit?
* Mister Vonner? Is Kimberly Vonner someone we know?
* I guess Miles isn’t used to it. Poor guy.
* Sweaty Kate is Sweaty.
* So this is them coming back from giving baby Benry to Manscara.
* Oooh, a circle of trust? Oh goody.
* Radzinsky? What are they trading with Radzinsky?
* 334 huh? And no erased tape for La Fleur.
* Am I gonna have to listen to these goofballs go on about the Circle Of Trust all night? I hope not.
* It’s a body bag?
* Who’s that guy? Is he actually a DI guy or is he a Hostile in a familiar outfit?
* I like that it takes hardhats to transport the dead guy.
* DRIVE AWAY FIRST MILES! JEBUS! It doesn’t have to be far.
* Pierced up Miles is Pierced. He’s generally Spiky it seems.
* I like that we are seeing some humanity in him. This is a VERY nice change.
* How does she know he’s dead?
* Did The Island do this to her somehow (if he’s Doctor Mister Chang-dle-wax’s baby).
* PIERRE!?!? If Miles got sent away then at least he probably won’t meet himself now. Right? RIGHT?
* Will Miles figure it out? I’m desperately curious now.
* Will this conversation finish without a mention of the Circle of Trust? Oh thank Gord yes.
* I like that Hurley is optimistic and in charge of the food. (:
* Isn’t that Benry’s pa? But he isn’t there…ohhhh crap.
* Either Benry vanishing or the nonerased tape coulda started the war I bet. Both?
* Well…here we go. Why does it freak me out that Juliet seems OK with this? Or already knows??
* Bounty Hunter? Awesome. I don’t care why Hurley needs to know. He’s fab.
* Hurley’s uniform is cute. “Chef”. (:
* Maybe it smells like DEAD GUY! Work it out Miles, come on!
* What an odd story.
* I like that Hurley figured it out AND is ok with it.
* Hurley can too? Wait, what?
* This is a lot like Miles looks now, this might not be long before he got on the freighter…
* Miles don’t you feel bad? Look at this gentleman here on the verge of tears. Cost extra.
* I think it’s worse this way because we’ve seen humanity in Miles before. If he was always just a mercenary it wouldn’t be such a big deal.
* Hi. My name’s Naomi WEARING A TERRIBLE FAKE WIG. Let’s have coffee.
* Hi Dharmaland. I know Roger drank before which is why Benry didn’t like him, but in the afternoon?
* Does he feel bad because he realizes Benry was a good kid or because he realizes he wasn’t Father of the Year?
* Hey um, Roger? Kate blew up a man in Iowa, just to watch him die. Maybe you should chill.
* I love the Dharma vans. Less when they play the Captain and Tennille. eek.
* OHHHHH, so THAT is what Hurley is talking about.
* I’m loving the cover of the composition book.
* Bounty Hunter huh? I’m still stuck on that.
* Good job Hurley! “I won’t tell anyone about the body.”
* So Hurley isn’t good enough to know but Pierre has two random schmucks who are?
* I wonder how Miles figured it out. Doesn’t he have to be dead before Miles can peek around in his mind? Was it his mom’s?
* AHH! Dude on a counter! AHH!
* She has a point about the wad o cash.
* Felix huh?
* Watching Miles work is weird. And very cool. And weird.
* Papers, photos, pictures, of empty graves, a purchase order for an old airplane…
* Well now I know just about when we are.
* How does Naomi know if Miles is right or wrong?
* Dead people can help find Benry? Hmmm.
* Does Miles know about the training films?
* His mom got in line behind him? Awwwwwwwk-waaaaaaaaard!
* Oh look, Jack’s trying to cover for a drunk cow-orker.
* What was on the chalkboard? I thought some of it was useful looking.
* Jack looks younger now than when they landed. Well it is 30 years earlier. (:
* Longest. Van Ride. Ever. (:
* Hurley, are you helping or hurting?
* Wife likes Jazz, Pierre likes country? Hrm.
* I love Hurley. I need another Hurleysode and soon. I wanna resolve this dead people stuff.
* What are they building behind the gate?
* OMG IT IS THE HATCH!
* 4 8 15 16 23 42. You don’t say.
* Why hasn’t Miles been clued in on any of this? I guess Hurley doesn’t have much of a chance to explain huh?
* Van of freaky guys?
* BRAM? He’s the guy from the Ajira crash! How the hell did THAT happen!?!?
* Talk him out of working for Widmore? huh.
* How does Bram know Miles is working for Widmore? How does Bram know what lies in the shadow of the statue? Is this gonna be a Paolo/Frogurt situation?
* Does Bram know Benry?
* I like Hurley trying to be Miles’ friend.
* Miles he’s being nice to you.
* A spy robot thingy? I love you Hurley.
* Chewbacca: rarrrrrr. Kelly: heeheeheehee!
* I wonder how long Jack waited. I wonder how long they stared at each other and didn’t talk.
* Oh look the unerased tape. Here we go indeed.
* Hey look it’s Human Miles again. That’s what makes it worse when he’s jerky.
* …like THAT THERE.
* Hurley’s bringing it back to Star Wars.
* In an alternate universe, Kelly and Hurley are great friends and go on awesome adventures.
* “Let’s face it, Ewoks suck dude.” Hurley wins at Season Five.
* Yeah this is the part of Miles I like because he’s human and I don’t like because he ignores it sometimes.
* Me And My Polar Bear: Real book?
* “I need you.” “You do?” Oh Miles.
* Scientists from Ann Arbor? Like, Michigan?
* Who came in this batch we need to know about?
* FARADAY? HORY CLAP! He’s all…not broken and stuff! WTF?
* And with that, my mind is blended. No theories till later. Nighty night!
