LOST: "Confirmed Dead" [ANALYSIS]
My oh my. Seems things just got a little deeper on the island! Just getting right into it....
Faraday
OK, so his flashback wasn't much of one at all. I suspect he'll get a bigger one at some point to explain why he was upset at the news of the wreckage. Funny how he was so upbeat and seemingly glad to find the losties where Miles was not? And how he waffled about when they found the biohazard case. Any guesses as to what that was about? Those masks sure did look DHARMA issue to me!
I especially like the allusion to Desmond, "Are you Jack?" Just like Kelvin's "Are you him?" to Desmond.
Personally I can't wait to see what they do with this character.
Miles
What? A psychic? With a crooked streak? What other secrets of the dead will he uncover? Any other ghosts on the island he'd like to speak with? (hint hint)
Charlotte
An archaeologist? Even more curiouser. Two things I really found interesting here: 1) The finding of the DHARMA polar bear in North Africa (dammit! back to my Fourth Reich theory!) especially one with a Hydra Station collar on it. Did it wind up there through some weird spacetime teleportation nonsense? Was there another Hydra there at some point? W.T.F!!
and 2) Why is she apparently so incredibly happy about finding the place? What sort of things is she, in particular, looking for here? Maybe she'll shed some insight onto ol' Mr. Four Toes and the ruins? I'm catching a slight whiff of plot device here, but we'll see how it plays.
Frank
And then there's Frank. The pilot. Who should have been flying 815 in the first place. Why didn't he? (I smell a flashback!) He knows that 815 was not found. I'm sure Miles suspects it, being psychic and all.... Was that really a cow? Part of Mikhail's livestock? (I'd have to go back and look) or is he getting strange animal visions ala Kate?
Ben
So why are they after Ben specifically? Which one of them is an Other? And is that person a native Other or an ex-DHARMA other? Or another Other altogether! (say that three times fast!)
Naomi and Abaddon
So. Seems our mysterious Mr. Abaddon who visited Hurley in the asylum (in the future) is in charge of this little operation.
I wonder what the purpose of each member of the team is? Makes sense that they each have a specific role to play, I suppose.
Prediction: The freighter folks are DHARMA, and they're after Ben for killing everyone on the island in "The Purge." I think we've established that DHARMA are "the bad guys" and the native islanders, "the Others" are not.
Of course I will probably be proven wrong. I mean, if its "not Penny's boat," then its got to be someone's, right? The nearly identical gas-masks in the box are a big tip off. As is Charlotte's big grin as she finds the collar in the sand....
Oops
Speaking of being proven wrong, lets not talk about the "Naomi's sister" thing, OK?
Locke and Hurley
I like that Locke is being brought back up front and is back to his philosophical ways again. But how will this thing with Hurley unfold? If Hurley has also been allowed to glimpse Jacob, will there be some sort of rivalry down the road between him and Locke? Obviously Hurley survives and makes it off the island, so who knows?
Looks like another of the "Oceanic Six" will be revealed next week! They're burning through that one fast!
Everyone chime in with your opinions! I thought the show was awesome, I've read some others thought it was terrible. Hey, at least it wasn't Paulo and Nikki!
