5 X 13: Some Like It Hoth
I’m wondering if Adult Miles will meet with Baby Miles and that will somehow relate to why he’s “special.” I’m pretty sure that Miles is either going to tell Chang/Candle about the Dharma purge or something that will cause him to send Baby Miles and his momma off of the island.
Don’t forget that this week is a clip show. The previews make it look interesting. Guess we’ll see.
1. Cute, the dead guy hid his key under a white rabbit. We’ve seen a lot of rabbits in this show.

2. The Circle of Trust. Was anyone else thinking of Meet the Parents and Robert DeNiro?
3. I’m frustrated with what they have done with Kate. She had redeemed herself somewhat and now she’s back to meddling in things. I know I’m not the only one who feels this way. When we had a campaign to get rid of Ken and Barbie it worked, hopefully the writers will hear our call to bring back the old Kate too.

4. For as much as he’s a jerk, Roger caught right on to Kate didn’t he? Guy may be a drinker but he’s pretty observant. “You want to help Kate? Why don’t you just mind your own business!”
5. There were so many good lines and dialog with Miles and Hurley this week. I was glad that some humor was brought back in.
6. There’s a lot of dead bodies around food. We have Alvarez in the van by the sandwiches. Then there is Felix in the restaurant. Gross.
7. Miles was chosen to return to the island not only because of his “ability” but also because he’s Pierre’s son. Mrs Hawkins knows all about course correction and probably was instrumental in the choice of him being on the freighter.
8. The more we see of Ben the more I’m not convinced that it’s Wimore versus Ben. Ben wasn’t chosen by the island, Locke was. But neither was Widmore. I’m wondering now if it might be Widmore versus Ellie/Mrs Hawkins. After all, when Richard agreed to take Ben they asked him if he had discussed with Widmore or Ellie which makes me think she was pretty powerful on the island. Why isn’t she there anymore?
9. Coincidence that the kids on the island are learning about ancient Egypt? And how many kids are there anyway? We haven’t really seen that many. Perhaps the education is, in Juliet’s words, Others 101. Also interesting is the alien drawing hung above the chalkboard.

10. Looks like Bram knows how to get back and forth to the island and is working on the same “team” as Ilana.

11. It sure does look like Pierre cares about Miles as a baby. And ironically, he’s reading him a book about polar bears. Unlike Luke, maybe Miles will communicate with his dad so he doesn’t lose his hand.

FYI, Ken and Barbie are Nikki and Paulo

Crazy thought that you sparked at the start when you said about Miles meeting baby Miles, surely if they do meet that would do something crazy to time … maybe has something to do with how Miles and the rest get thrown back to the present … because course correction means that Miles and baby Miles cant be in the same place.
Also is it just me or does lost keep getting better and better.

#2 – I *TOTALLY* made that reference to Meet the Parents when I was watching this! lmao
Love the idea that Miles is going to influence his dad to send his mom and his baby-self off the island. Very clever…
Hm. What’s the photoshop campaign for “no more wimpy Kate” going to look like?

I agree there is something that is going to happen that will cause Miles to tell Pierre about the purge and that is why his mother leaves the island.
Last week I thought Ilana was working for Widmore, but I’m not sure anymore. Could they be Dharma children?
Yes, Kate needs to go fight in the jungle or make out with Sawyer.

One thing that really makes me think that Ilana and Bram are not working for Widmore is the weapons they have. When Keamy and team showed up, they had all those nice new weapons – M4’s, M16’s and other modern weapons, look at that old clunker Bram is holding. It really does remind me of the mish-mash of guns the DI used. They could be with the Others, but I kind of doubt that as well. How did they know to get on that flight? Why was Ilana really taking Sayid with her? Could Mrs. Hawking also be working with the DI? Why isn’t she with Widmore any longer or on the island? I really think we’re going to see the DI trying to get the island back. We’re seeing them in the 1970’s, so maybe we’re also going to see them in the 2000’s. We know they’re still around because of those food drops. There may even be other DI survivors in some of the other hatches that we haven’t seen yet.
I agree, Miles saw his father and he wasn’t like his mother discribed him. Ya, he’s a bit of a jerk with the people he works with, but he looks like he really cares about little Miles. His mother was probably trying to protect Miles by telling him those things about his father so he wouldn’t go looking for the island. Something major must happen during or before the Purge – baby Miles and young Charlotte end up back in the real world while baby Ethan ends up with the Others. It sure sounds to me as if some of them had some type of warning before hand. I don’t mention Ben because Richard has already stated that he’ll always belong to the Others after the temple.

love love love all the comments!
i got the ‘circle of trust’ comment too, it cracked me up
i’m thinking that it is not Widmore vs. Ben too and that Mrs. Hawking is the other big player, and I like the thought about the DI in present day, trying to “take back the island”
i had totally forgot about the food drops in the first few seasons, so thanks for mentioning that
so is Mrs. Hawking using Ben when she needs him since she let him in the church and gave him the info for the flight?
kudos to you guys who seem to keep all of it straight, there is so much info, sometimes I go around and around with theories and get myself confused!!

Does anyone have any ideas as to how Locke and Ben will reunite with the rest of the group? How far did they go into the future anyway?
