So you think you know what’s happening in Lost? Or do you think that they’ve made a mistake in their time twisting craziness? Well Hurley’s there asking the questions too. Which means that we’re all probably wrong and the writers have it covered. The Hurley and Miles conversation was classic witty Lost and had me chuckling, with Hurley referencing Back To The Future! So cool.
In many ways this was a classic (as in season one) style episode, returning to a missing chunk of the story and filling in the mosaic, revealing some aspect of the character: this time focussing on Kate and Aaron. I felt for Kate and her guilty emotional turmoil as she tried to come to terms with adopting Aaron. And also in classic style, the plot on The Island kept moving as Kate and Sawyer gave Ben to The Others in an attempt to save his life. And Richard Alpert takes Ben to the temple at the end of the episode, presumably to do his Other magic. Does the smoke monster help with that?
A very enjoyable episode, one that doesn’t leave too much to talk about, but has left me waiting for someone to transcribe the Miles Hurley scene. Hurry up internets.
