Confirmed Dead (S4:E2)
Four new characters!?!? They threw them right into the mix. Interesting back stories on all four (plus a little more about Naomi). Let’s jump right in. Here are the things I noticed, and things that much smarter people than I, from other sites, noticed as well.
1) I have now set my DVR to record 5 minutes after the show. I found out that I missed the commercial after the episode (prior to, or maybe even part of, the premier of Eli Stone). There is an Oceanic commercial talking about the golden pass which takes you anywhere you want to go. This is the same golden ticket that Jack talked about in Through the Looking Glass. Then a man starts talking in the middle of the commercial saying to not trust Oceanic and that he found flight 815. Then they show an Oceanic plane under the ocean. Is Oceanic trying to cover things up? Are they working with Hanso and the others in on this plot? You see the website flyoceanicair.com. then for a split second it shows find815.com. If you go to www.flyoceanicair.com you will see a more robust message from the man interrupting the Oceanic commercial. Then find815.com seems to be a work in progress.
2) We kick things off with underwater footage of the dummy airplane. The scene then cuts to Daniel Faraday, who’s crying, and claims he doesn’t know why. However, we see that this is a common theme with Daniel. He’s always afraid. He was afraid to jump out of the helicopter (prompting Miles to push him out). He has a fearful demeanor when dealing with Jack and Kate. Obviously he has some sort of gift or skill that made him important for this mission. But, what is it? Daniel shows that fear again when they find the metal box with the gas mask and other supplies. But, we finally cut to the chase when Daniel says that saving the Losties isn’t their primary objective.
3) From Lostpedia: Michael Faraday was an English chemist and physicist who contributed to electromagnetism as a field of study. From Wikipedia: "He established that magnetism could affect rays of light and that there was an underlying relationship between the two phenomena." In this episode, Daniel Faraday comments on abnormalities in the light rays on the island.
4) Enter Miles Straume. I liked the part where he asked to be taken to Naomi’s body, because he’ll know whether Jack & Co. killed her or not. His flashback was a little spookier. Miles seems to be some sort of medium between the real world and the spirit world. How the money and drugs in the bag behind the bookcase played into that scene was a little strange. I would think that what he did wouldn’t release a ghost from a house, but I’m not an expert on these matters.
5) I like how Locke revealed that he got his orders from a taller Walt. Could they be bringing Walt back into the fold? Maybe that’s their way of explaining the child actor’s growth spurt over the last few years.
6) Charlotte Staples Lewis, eh? Like Clives Staples Lewis? Better known as C.S. Lewis, author of the Chroni(what)cles of Narnia. Anyway…Charlotte’s flashback shows us that she is one of those characters that she may know a lot more about what’s going on with the island than she’s leading on. She obviously wasn’t surprised about finding polar bear bones in Tunisia, and seemed like she expected to find the Dharma logo (Hydra) on the collar that was previously around the polar bear’s neck. She had enough foresight to know that Ben might try to kill her. You don’t just randomly wear a bullet-proof vest.
7) Frank Lapidus, was supposed to be the pilot of 815. I liked the part where Miles and Daniel ask him where the helicopter crashed, and he told them that he’s a good pilot and did not crash it. This is a bit of an anomaly, as everything that comes within the vicinity of the island crashes on it. Though the original hatch and the magnetic force is blamed for the previous crashes, this comment brings an interesting point. Had Frank been piloting 815, would it have crashed? He obviously realizes that there is a cover up as well (with Seth Norris and the lack of a ring on his supposed body).
8) So Ben has a man on the boat. He knows all about their mission. I wonder if it’s Minkowski. Minkowski’s voice kept changing on the phone depending on who he spoke with on Naomi’s phone in the premier episode. This remains to be seen. Whoever it is, they’ve done their research on the members of the mission. Another genius from Lostpedia had this to post: The name Minkowski is a reference to Hermann Minkowski, the mathematician who pioneered the idea of 4-dimensional space-time.
9) Finally, we came to the flashback with Naomi and Matthew Abaddon. This may debunk the theory that Abaddon is the black smoke. Naomi says that she doesn’t have the right team, calling them a head case, a ghostbuster, an anthropologist and a drunk. But Abaddon tells her that they were all chosen for specific reasons. Abaddon also mentions that there are no survivors. However, here’s my take. These are four people who may have a clue as to what really happened, and Abaddon is sending them onto the island with Naomi to eventually leave them there.
10) Try calling the Oceanic Airlines Flight 815 Hotline Number 1-888-548-0034. You get a recording, however they’re really covering their bases on this show.
11) If Ben has been on the island his entire life, who got his picture off the island and eventually into Miles’s hands.?
12) I also love how Locke’s life is indirectly saved by his con-man father. If he had a kidney where he was shot, he would have died.
13) We also notice that both Locke and Ben know what Hurley was talking about with Jacob’s cabin. Yet, neither acknowledges it. Now they both know that Hurley has come across Jacob.
There is more to be read up on, but wanted to get something out there. I’ll add more if there is more to mention.
Next episode is called “The Economist”

There are so many golden nuggets to ponder on for the next week- but the thing that most amused me was Frank's comment that he would never crash a plane. I found that the most interesting line...is that why he wasnt chosen to fly 815? Obviously, that flight was meant to crash.
I also loved sawyer's lines....especially the one that went something like "oh, so, Walt's a giant now? hahhahahaha.....
and how cute was Jack's line to Kate that he winked at her....
IS IT NEXT THURADAY YET????
