The Internets are Always Right in the End!!

LOST served up the good stuff this week. How does one make Miles interesting? He came in on the freighter? So? So did Naomi, Charlotte, Lapidus, and the much more interesting Faraday. He can talk to dead people. So? So can Hurley. He's sarcastic? Sawyer. He's annoying? Kate. See, Miles doesn't do anything on the island that anyone else doesn't already do better.

What's that?
You say he's already ON the island as a baby?
He's Pierre Chang's SON?!?
Now THAT's interesting.

Frankly, the internet figured that out months ago when the ComicCon Dharma tape was released. Good stuff. It seems pretty obvious that Chang did not send his family away to be a dick. He's not Roger Linus, after all...
I would guess that he sent them away because of the many, many dangers inherent to the island and the experiments. I mean, what if little Miles needed a tooth filled? Exactly. So I'm thinking he sent them away to keep them out of danger, and was probably mean about it to make sure Lara and Miles never came back. Great plan, right?

How come the guy who told Miles not to go to the island is now rubbing guns with the "new Ana Lucia" (whatever the bounty hunter chicks name is) on the island? Who else was on the Arija flight that we should be watching out for, I wonder?

Sucks to be Juliet, again. That woman simply cannot catch a break. And I can't wait until Hurley's "improved" Empire Strikes Back script gets posted online somewhere. ;-] Next week is some kind of recap, which I will still watch. And although I'm glad they mentioned them, I would still like a trip to Hydra Island to see the polar bears. And Rose and Bernard for that matter...
Any guesses as to what lies in the shadow of the statue? The opening of a Dharma station? Jughead? The big wheel that moves the island? The Question Mark? That would be something.

Anyway, I'm enjoying the fact that so many stations are playing reruns of LOST. I dig catching them out of order and being reminded of little things. Last night they played the first ep with Henry Gale, when he is captured by Rousseau. That also happens to be the ep where Hurley and Sawyer look for the frog. Sadly, they replayed The Economist and I had to miss it. Drag. I still have not afforded Season Four yet. Sad.

In other news, when I got to work today I found that they have decided that I'm an "Electric Specialist." This means I supposedly know a lot about electric instruments and can help customers out with them. That will mean some bigger sales for me if I can pull it off.

What I'm wondering is this: Didn't Charlotte disappear when they came to a time when she already existed on the island? Then why didn't adult Miles disappear when baby Miles was born? If the same person can be on the island at two different ages, then why did Charlotte disappear?

I don't think Charlotte vanished because of young Charlotte. Big Ben and Little Ben are currently on the island at once, albeit in different times. I assumed that she didn't disappear, but that she is dead in some other time on the island.

Miles's earlier assertion that time is a straight line would seem to indicate that even if he held himself as a baby, it wouldn't make any difference.

I suppose now that Faraday is back, we'll find out for sure.

Hmmm... I thought you just couldn't be in the same time and the same place, but I guess that would have messed up some of the other time travel stops before they landed in the 70's. I'm interested to see what Faraday has to say as well.

Faraday will def have something interesting to say. And maybe he'll have another encounter with his mother (I'm fairly sure that "Ellie" from The Others/Hostiles is Eloise Hawking.)

I keep waiting to see Annie. I'm surprised we've seen nothing from her since being back in the 70's. She's supposed to be a big part of Ben's value system. I have to wonder if maybe Annie got pregnant and died.
