Eggtown Recap
Friday, February 22nd, 2008
Well, last night’s episode was yet another powerhouse, chock-full of demi-answers and puzzle pieces that still don’t quite yield the big picture.
1. We discovered our dear little Katey has added the title of baby-napper to her growing, yet ultimately acquitted list of criminal names.
2. Aaron, apparently just has that something special that makes people want to kidnap him, in the womb or out.
3. Jack, looking dapper with a hint of salt and pepper, proved to us that the Oceanic 6 are maintaining the illusion that 8 people survived the crash and only 6 made it home. So that’s what was eating him in last season’s finale. He also had some deep-routed issues with baby Aaron. What happened there? This better not be another one of his daddy issues.
4.Kate’s mother, showed us where Kate gets her endurance and determination to disprove what sometimes seems so certain, I think we all assumed she had kicked the bucket shortly after Kate’s encounter with her in the hospital.
5. Miles continues thicken the mystery surrounding the freighties, with his plan to mercifully blackmail Ben. I think it’s safe to say, he has no idea who he’s dealing with.
6. Locke seems to slowly be losing his grip on leadership and his connection to the island. Does anyone else want to take him aside and explain that when he loudly smashes things a few feet away from Ben, that he can hear him, and is thereby made aware of just how “under his skin” he’s gotten? I sure do.
7. And my favorite budding mystery of all, Daniel Faraday… so he has some short-term memory issues. I guess this explains his sometimes excessively frazzled behavior, like when Jack and Kate found him and he didn’t seem to have any answers, nor the savvy to play it off. I guess that’s why the voice on the phone had to remind him not to use the speaker phone. More of my Faraday theories later.
