Lost - S05E13 - Some Like It Hoth

Tonight's episode - Some Like It Hoth

Tonight's a Miles episode.  I love Miles.  I'm not sure why.  I think it's because he's simultaneously bemused and terrified by what's going on on the island.  And he's full of secrets.  Characters that are full of secrets are a-ok in my book.

When Miles, Charlotte, and Daniel came on the show they really energ-- hey... where has Daniel been???

Last's week's episode co-written by Brian K. Vaughan was so good.  Seriously, how good has this show been in season five?  Too late, the answer is so, so good.

Speculations, theories, reactions, live blogs, you know the drill.

Comments

Am I the only that doesn't understand Miles' gray/white-ish hair???

When there's somethin strange

in your neighborhood

who ya gonna call?

...Miles?   

Posted by PaulMontgomery on 04/15/09 at 08:07 PM

This should be a good episode. Funny too, especially if Hurley is involved.

@Paul: No they would call the cops....what you said was stupid :) (a cookie to anyone who knows where that is from)

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 08:12 PM

@tittom: He's 39, so he's probably going gray.

Posted by conor on 04/15/09 at 08:29 PM

I have a 29-year-old friend who's going grey.  It happens.

Posted by HBD on 04/15/09 at 08:30 PM

Oh then, it must be that...he looks young though.

Posted by tittom on 04/15/09 at 08:32 PM

Isn't it: "Then he'll see you in hell!"? Oh well, my Taun Taun won't freeze untill the 4th marker anywho. =)

Confession.  I'm actually 58.  

Posted by PaulMontgomery on 04/15/09 at 08:33 PM

At least there's a pool...

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 09:01 PM

Nothing really funny to say all about this....

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 09:02 PM

On an all new 'Ghost Wisperer'...

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 09:08 PM

I'm finally live.  A phone call delayed me for a couple of minutes so I had to sait for the first commercial break to get live.

Posted by conor on 04/15/09 at 09:09 PM

@conor: Thanks, getting tired of doing all the commenting myself

Didnt miss much though

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 09:09 PM

He's going threw a phase....

or as my sis is saying right now: 'he looks like a retard'

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 09:10 PM

Wow, Ken Leung has age range!

Posted by conor on 04/15/09 at 09:11 PM

Man this is getting real depressing

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 09:11 PM

I dont believe he's dead

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 09:12 PM

Dr. Chang!

Posted by conor on 04/15/09 at 09:13 PM

Yay we get to see more of Dr. Chang

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 09:13 PM

Apparently, there were in need of a runner inside the Circle of Trust.

Posted by conor on 04/15/09 at 09:13 PM

Did he say 'my sweet garlic mayo?'

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 09:13 PM

Nice smash cut

Juliet always looks like she's sweating

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 09:14 PM

Yes, he did.

Posted by conor on 04/15/09 at 09:14 PM

Wow they handled that well (sarcasm)

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 09:16 PM

wow, for some reason i really liked that scene with juliet, kate, and roger. 

also, star trek looks like the greatest movie of all time. 

Posted by nickmaynard on 04/15/09 at 09:16 PM

Did you just fart?

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 09:19 PM

Posted by nickmaynard on 04/15/09 at 09:19 PM

aww I was liking that song

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 09:20 PM

That decomp smell is not going to come out of that food.

Posted by conor on 04/15/09 at 09:20 PM

lol, the star trek trailer has me all mixed up.

I'm guessing this guy was digging for 'The Swan'

Explains the fillings going beserk

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 09:21 PM

Remember kids:

All people who say they can talk to the dead are telling the truth. They arent liars.

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 09:23 PM

oh god, naomi! :-)

Posted by nickmaynard on 04/15/09 at 09:23 PM

Hey there's that lady.....who got killed after 3 episodes....Naomi is it?

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 09:23 PM

Mmmm... Dharma brand beer.

Posted by conor on 04/15/09 at 09:24 PM

Let's see how is Kate gonna handle a drunken father....

Blow his house up?

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 09:24 PM

Thank you!!!!

Took 5 seasons and a drunk person to say the obvious to Kate

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 09:25 PM

@TNC: Only if he deserves it.

Posted by conor on 04/15/09 at 09:26 PM

@conor: Uh he beats up Ben a lot and says his mom died cause of him....yeah he deserves it.

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 09:26 PM

hurley... is... awesome. 

Posted by nickmaynard on 04/15/09 at 09:26 PM

I wanna see a Dr. Chang/Hurley sitcom in the works

'Huuuurrrrlllleeeyyy!!!'-Chang

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 09:28 PM

Whoa!

Posted by conor on 04/15/09 at 09:28 PM

dayum.

Posted by nickmaynard on 04/15/09 at 09:28 PM

WWWWHHHHHHAAAAATTTTT!!!!?????

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 09:28 PM

awesome reveal

Posted by scatterbrain on 04/15/09 at 09:29 PM

Well it looks like they finally are getting use for this character.

That's so awesome he's his dad, and it totally makes sense

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 09:29 PM

@the next champion - when has he ever beat up be? he grabbed his arm hard once and pushed him, but that doesn't mean he deserves DEATH.

Posted by nickmaynard on 04/15/09 at 09:29 PM

@nick: He slapped him in the first Ben-centric episode didnt he?

Besides even if WE havent seen it; a drunken father had to beat him up at some point

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 09:32 PM

Man everyone is connected to Widmore arent they? Even I am

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 09:33 PM

That was funny, money always makes things easier

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 09:34 PM

I would one day like ot be asked to join a team leading an expedition to an island for $1.6 million.

Also, that was an oddly specific amount.

Posted by conor on 04/15/09 at 09:34 PM

I like Hurley is asking for the audience

'Why was his name Marvin Candle? Was it a stage name?'

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 09:35 PM

Miles seems to be a glorified hired goon on the island.

Posted by conor on 04/15/09 at 09:35 PM

More Egyptian references.

Posted by conor on 04/15/09 at 09:35 PM

@conor - and didn't miles ask for an oddly specific amount of money from ben? same amount or no?

Posted by nickmaynard on 04/15/09 at 09:36 PM

annnd Kate accidentally starts a chain of events to ruin everyone. Thanks Kate

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 09:36 PM

@nickmaynard: I think he did.

Posted by conor on 04/15/09 at 09:37 PM

@TNC: Your Kate obsession is veering into creepy territory.

Posted by conor on 04/15/09 at 09:37 PM

@conor: What? Since she had to talk to Ben's dad for no reason; she is getting everyone in trouble slowly but surely.

Sorry I'm not the only one who notices

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 09:38 PM

Hurley is acting like your drunk friend at a bar trying to make things awkward between you and the girl you are seeing.

Posted by conor on 04/15/09 at 09:38 PM

Edit: 'I'm the only one who notices'

Plus, I love it how Hurley is trying to get these two to bond

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 09:39 PM

I knew it!

Plus Hurley is freaked out

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 09:40 PM

Hurley's going to have a psychotic break.

Posted by conor on 04/15/09 at 09:40 PM

OH NO! The numbers!

 

Posted by AnchorPete on 04/15/09 at 09:40 PM

@conor - miles asked ben for 3.2 million dollars, twice the amount he was offered by naomi just now.

Posted by nickmaynard on 04/15/09 at 09:41 PM

Interesting...

Posted by conor on 04/15/09 at 09:43 PM

So far this isnt as funny of an episode I would've imagined....

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 09:43 PM

It's Cobra!

Posted by conor on 04/15/09 at 09:45 PM

You owe me a fish taco

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 09:45 PM

@conor: Ha! It does look like Cobra members

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 09:46 PM

Wait a tic....that's the same question asked by Frank last week!

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 09:46 PM

there it is, 3.2 million!

Posted by nickmaynard on 04/15/09 at 09:46 PM

So.....who the hell are these group of people? I hate it when a wild card party enters

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 09:47 PM

i say they're hostiles.

Posted by nickmaynard on 04/15/09 at 09:48 PM

omgomgomg! lololol.

Posted by nickmaynard on 04/15/09 at 09:49 PM

Hahaha - I was *literally* just typing "I wonder why we have a STAR WARS reference in the title this week..."

Posted by conor on 04/15/09 at 09:49 PM

That's awesome!

'Chewbacca: Rawr!!'

So cool he wants to write Empire before it's even made

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 09:49 PM

Also, Hurley needs to take a screenwriting class.

Posted by conor on 04/15/09 at 09:50 PM

WHO CALLED IT!?

They are also blaming Kate....Score for me..

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 09:50 PM

They need a Learning Annex on the island.

Posted by conor on 04/15/09 at 09:51 PM

Yeah this is gonna be the beginning of the end for this 'paradise'

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 09:52 PM

I feel bad for the bushy eyebrows guy

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 09:54 PM

@TNC: There never was a paradise, the two warring sides guarenteed it was always going to end badly.

Posted by conor on 04/15/09 at 09:54 PM

@conor: It was paradise for the survivors before their friends showed up. Is that why Juliet is upset? She yelled at Jack for coming back when he didnt have to

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 09:55 PM

@TNC: It was a false paradise.

Posted by conor on 04/15/09 at 09:57 PM

@conor: But it was still a paradise wasnt it?

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 09:58 PM

holy god, i'm crying.

Posted by nickmaynard on 04/15/09 at 10:00 PM

I thought seeing yourself ment a time paradox....I guess when it's really really up close

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 10:00 PM

@TNC: No, it was false.  It was always going to end badly.  They were living in denial... they had no other choice.

Posted by conor on 04/15/09 at 10:00 PM

who are the scientists? faraday???

Posted by nickmaynard on 04/15/09 at 10:01 PM

Daniel!

Posted by conor on 04/15/09 at 10:01 PM

Yes!!!! Daniel is back!

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 10:01 PM

2 weeks from tonight!?

Boo!

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 10:01 PM

Next week - a very special clip show!

Posted by conor on 04/15/09 at 10:01 PM

100th episodes are special and all...

But for this show? 108th is the key number

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/15/09 at 10:03 PM

...and the hits just keep on coming.  That was great.. as is par for the course this season.  Some like it Hoth is whimsical and hilarious.  The whole show is full of father issues, so, why not have the great father/son moment in pop culture history serve as a backdrop.  Still no explanation for Miles (Myles?) powers, but at least we got a good look at them. 

Posted by Crippler on 04/15/09 at 10:36 PM

Incredible episode - I agree with Conor - I love Miles.  Great character, great actor, great writing.  Lost never lets me down.  It looked like two new writers on this episode - is that true?  I feel like they took Haley Joel Osmet's character from Sixth Sense and grew him up.  I love his character arc too - but will he die when he deals with his "issues" like everyone else on the show?

Posted by jeremymace on 04/15/09 at 11:13 PM

Soooo yeah. First time watching since Season 1....I'm Lost lol. But I will watch again later on.

Posted by coleman on 04/16/09 at 12:00 AM

So last episode we see only Charles Widmore getting kicked off the island (and for that matter only Charles in charge) ... the episode before Alpert is asked if Charles and Ellie (which I am guessing is the ring lady, Ellosie Hawking) would approve of his decision.  

Back to last episode, Ben tells John that he needed critical information. What he recieved was Jin's wedding ring and that John was suppose to meet with Ellosie Hawking.

What happened with Ellie ... is this new group with her, is Ben with her, how does she exist outside of time (i.e. Flashes before your eyes), how does she end up out of control? 

I am coming to the opinion that Bram and Illiana are actually related to her but I am not sure how ... is Miles asking Ben for $3.2 million and Ben accepting it showing that Ben is not involved with this group (we are not giving you any money)? ... Is faraday (apparently her son) showing up at the end a sign of her significane to this new development? This show is going to end with me getting an aneurysm. 

Posted by mattstee on 04/16/09 at 12:40 AM

'This show is going to end with me getting an aneurysm'

Most accurate statment I've earn for this show.

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/16/09 at 12:45 AM

I love the combination of Hurley and Miles on this show.  They're like Lost's version of Hiro and Ando, except, you know, actually funny.

Posted by superchuck on 04/16/09 at 10:49 AM

Just wanna throw this out there but, does Daniel Faraday remind anyone else of Gordon the Intern or is it just me?

Posted by HermitHomeboy on 04/16/09 at 04:30 PM

@Hermit: Yeah when I first saw him last season I was like

'Why is Gordon, or I assume Gordon's long lost twin brother, on the show?' :)

Posted by TheNextChampion on 04/16/09 at 04:31 PM

Oh wow, I thought it was just me. 

Posted by PaulMontgomery on 04/16/09 at 04:41 PM

My favorite part of the episode is when Dr. Chang says he prefers country music and the subtle look that Miles gives him!  That was hilarious!!!!!!!!
