Don’t pretend you didn’t notice.

I liked the twist on Sawyer, and the fact that they gave a nod to it with Sawyer saying he was either gonna become a criminal or a cop. In fact, he was pretty much the same person, just a cop instead of a con man.

His “well, hey there” to Kate when he captures her at the end (who didn’t see it coming that she was the runner?), his sheepish attempt to get Charlotte to forgive him, his anger at Charlotte learning too much – even his buddy relationship with Miles was pretty much the same as on-island.

How totally awesome was it that the title came from a complete sub-sub-plot, wherein Hurley is writing a new and better script for Empire Strikes Back, one that negates the need for the Ewoks in Jedi.

We all know by now that there’s no way to change the future, so he is doomed to never get his script into George Lucas’ hands, or maybe something in his script even sparks the idea of Ewoks; but that’s one I suppose we’ll never know for 100 percent sure.

What we do know for 100 percent sure now, is something I predicted month and months (maybe eons!) ago: Dr. Marvin Candle (not his real name, but that’s how I always think of him) is Miles’ father.

Toldya.

Of course, that wasn’t too shocking once we knew Dr. Candle had a baby and realized all those recruited for the trip to the island had some sort of connection to it.

So this is the main question I have about Candle/Miles – did Marvin Candle do some weird experiments that led to his son having the ability to commune with the dead? Or was he born with the ability because he was born on the island? Either way, is that why his mom left his dad?
