Meet Kevin Johnson (S4:E8)
Did Danielle get a DUI at some point? How about Karl? Ana Lucia, Libby and Jin got DUIs, and they all got killed off (sorta in Jin’s case). Anyway…it was nice to see Michael back in the fold. Nobody forgot that he left the island, and this was one of the loose ends that needed to get some attention. Also, not sure who was in the window, but it certainly wasn’t giant Walt.
1) I’m beginning to like the fact that it takes a bit before we can confirm whether we’re watching a flashback, flashforward, both, neither, etc. While last night was a flashback, it was a little hard to tell, at first, how far back they had gone until Michael spoke to his mother. As we’ve seen in the past, Michael tries to stand up to his mother, but she’s stronger than he is. It’s also ironic that Walt is now with Michael’s mother, as in one of Michael’s early flashbacks, he was on the phone with his mother and asked if she would take Walt.
2) Michael sees Libby, but he doesn’t see Ana Lucia. Either way, the question right now is, are those just random guilt-ridden hallucinations? Or, is it Libby trying to contact him, much like Charlie visiting Hurley near the Ho-Ho’s or at the Mental Hospital?
3) Early in season 3, Kate said that she wasn’t going to undress herself in front of him, and he replied with, “Don’t worry, you’re not my type”. Well, now we know what his type is. Meet Arturo. I wonder if Arturo has any clue what Tom is caught up in. Maybe he’s one of the Others. Does he know Tom is dead?
4) So, now the Island decides when you can or can’t die? Tom told Michael that the island won’t let him die. The gun jammed. Who knows? Maybe the pawn shop owner sold Michael a gun with a filed off firing pin. We’ll see what happens when Sawyer gets a hold of Michael. Will the island save him then?
5) Michael traded Mr. Paik’s watch (which Jin gave him) for a gun and some bullets. He was about to trade it for $300. Pretty sure if Jin finds out, he’ll actually kill Michael, as he didn’t finish the job when he wanted to kill Michael over the watch in season one.
6) Now Michael is one of the “Good Guys”? I don’t know. He was going to kill everyone on the boat. Has Michael ever been a good guy? He’s always kinda looked out for himself, even when it meant giving up Walt to be raised by another (it’s arguable, he was also allowing Walt a better life). At least now we know who sabotaged the communications equipment and why the engines won’t work. The question I have now is, has Michael had anything to do with those that have already died on the boat? Did he get into Regina’s head? Did he convince her to jump off the boat bound in the chains?
7) One of several cliff-hangers will be what Captain Gault does upon Sayid spilling the beans about Michael. I was waiting for him to say something like, “I already knew, because I’m working for Ben Linus too.”
8) Speaking of Sayid, he got a little PO’ed about Michael working for Ben. Which is ironic, because Sayid himself ends up working for Ben, as seen in his flashforward “The Economist” earlier this season.
9) Did Ben know, upon giving directions for Rousseau, Karl and Alex to go to the Temple, that
Rousseau and Karl would be killed? Somehow, I think he may have planned that. Actually, Karl might be dead, but I’m not so sure about Rousseau.
10) During the game show on the TV in Michael’s apartment, Kurt Vonnegut is the answer to one of the questions. His book “Slaughterhouse Five” has some similarities to LOST and its characters
11) From Lostpedia: The song playing in the car when Michael tries to kill himself is "It's Getting Better" by Cass Elliot, who also recorded "Make Your Own Kind of Music". “Make Your Own Kind of Music” is a song that has been in several episodes, which is a song dealing with making your own fate.
Alright…well here’s our little one month hiatus. Can’t wait for the new episodes. There will be five more episodes this season.
