I was talking with a friend earlier today about the shows this season, and we agreed that they just keep getting better and better.
I mean, when we met the young Rousseau and found out Jin was alive last week, did you think this week could top it? Well, it did, imho.
Some Twitter friends and I were discussing our favorite lines from the episode, and there were two that really made us guffaw:
Miles: “He’s Korean, I’m from Encino.”
Ben: “I didn’t account for traffic.”
True Lost fans don’t need the context for those quotes to laugh again at them.
But those aren’t even what made last night so fabulous.
First off:
Charlotte:
Her deathbed conversation with Daniel was extremely illuminating, in that Lost sort of way, where you learn a whole bunch of info, but still don’t know exactly what it means.
We now know she grew up on the island, and I am 99.9 percent sure now that she is Annie, Ben’s childhood sweetheart. She seems much younger than Ben, but we know that time moves differently on and off the island and so that really doesn’t matter.
Why did her mother move her from the island? Did Faraday somehow convince her to leave and tell her daughter the island didn’t exist? We know he told Charlotte never to come back or she’d died.
Faraday seemed to be surprised by this, but I believe it hasn’t happened yet in his life. He hasn’t traveled back in time to Charlotte’s childhood. And despite his knowing you can’t change the past, he tries anyway, hoping against hope that this time it will work.
Now, it previously had seemed Faraday knew she was from the island, but it didn’t seem that way last night. Not exactly what the deal is there.
