LOST, Episode 4.02 "Confirmed Dead" Recap/Reactions!!!

First off, kudos to ABC for airing last week's episode. Great idea to give people another chance to get into this season. Kind of like saying "Yeah, we've been gone, and we know you're sketchy about coming back, but we'll give you one more chance to think it over."

I'm really excited to see Jeremy Davies (playing Daniel Faraday) on tonight's episode. He's an interesting actor, definately the kind of guy who belongs on Lost.

So let's begin watching LOST, Episode 4.02, "Confirmed Dead"...

Oceanic Flight 815 is found!.... Underwater?! The online game eluded to this. Apparently it has something to do with Desmond's girlfriend's father. So there's some sort of decoy coverup going on. Is it just to stop Penny from looking? I doubt it. Maybe Ben did it to keep people from looking for the island. Is Ben and Penny's father in cahoots?

Daniel Faraday is flatout WEIRD. Something just isn't right there. Is he just some weird savant, or is he hiding something? He's obviously not a covert spy; he just let that A-bomb drop: "Rescuing you....not our primary objective."

DUH. I think we all pieced that together. How about you tell us what you're there for?

Another piece of the insanedom is dropped when Locke shows off his wicked-cool bullet scar. If he hadn't been used and abused by his dad (including having his father con him out of a kidney), Locke would now be dead.

And another random theory from me: If Walt's back and taller, that means he's older, and he's aged fast. If time really is an issue, and Richard (the Other that doesn't seem to age) is still his age, maybe people on the island are in a sort of slowed down time space. Maybe people coming to the island have gone through a year missing Flight 815, when it's only been a month to them. That explains Jack's dad being dead in the flashforward as well.

Then there's Miles. The dude from X3 (I can't recall his name) is pretty good. Nothing really big from him, except how did he know Naomi was dead?!

So...... Miles is a medium..... huh? Was that necessary? Unless he can go to the caves and "speak" to Adam and Eve, I don't see the importance. The survivors already have Desmond for psychic entertainment. And as far as that goes, they have Locke to be weird. I guess they're just upping the antie.

****TIM NOTE**** Miles+Jacob=Answers! $20 Segraves bucks for Tim!

THERE'S the big eyebrow raiser: "The light here... it just doesn't seem to scatter right."

Daniel Faraday either is running around the jungle on shrooms or gave us a brilliant little nugget of a clue. Maybe another one of Dharma's experiments? Maybe altertering light to hide the island? Am I reaching to far?

Granted, I think Miles is a cool character, but the situation that Miles and Jack are in, and how quickly it turned, really makes you want to be Jack's wingman: "Yeah, Miles! HOW STUPID ARE YOU, PUNK?"

Wow, chick with a horrible accent in the desert. Is she British? I don't know. I've heard twelve-year-olds do better accents.

POLAR BEAR?! How did it get there? WHAT? Dharma Bear! AHHH!

I'm guessing a rouge group of polar bears were in route to save the last Dharma polar bear when their chopper went down. I wonder if Sawyer killing the polar bear will have any ill effects between the Oceanic Six and the United Polar Bears union when they get off the island....

Anyways, back to the actual show. Team Locke catches Bad Actress and they have a sort of question and answer segment with a whole lot of akwardness. That is, until John let's her know that they are the survivors who DON'T want to leave.

As Team Jack marches their new "friends" through the forest, hillarity ensues. The love triangle between Jack, Kate and Juliet just got way better. I just laughed really hard at the whole exchange where Jack's kind of caught in the middle. He's bonded with both of these women through their struggle to survive, now he's caught in between. POOR JACK, two beautiful women after him...

Faraday and Sayid have a pleasant conversation with some funny attitude from Miles tossed in. Great scene!

Cool old man. Plus a nice cameo from Greg Grunberg. Guess he has nothing better to do since Dissapointment... I mean, Heroes... is off the air right now.

Oooh.... not his body? That means... Flight 815 is not in the water! GASP! Yeah, let's move it along, we're all aware that there's some kind of hoax going..... oh. Cool Old Man was supposed to fly the plane. That could lead to some very odd things in the future, especially if everyone was predestined to be on the island.

COW! HAHAHAHAHA!!! Sorry, I find that hillarious.

CHOPPER! That's more like it. Now things will start to get desperate. There's a viable way out, so now there's not really a way to further that plotline. So we can focus on the island, right?

Well, there's yet another twist! The strange dude that was after Hugo sent Naomi and the mod squad to the island. What the h---?!

Oh, crap! There's a hit out on Ben! For what though? For killing the Dharma Initiavtive? But then Oceanic is in this with Dharma. It seems there's a whole lot of corporate shenanigans going on.

So, Ben's in danger, he has someone on their boat (Dharma Bear?), and there's a chance for actual rescue.

I'm confused. This episode threw a whole bunch of twists and information at me. They need to start organizing it out or I may end up like Faraday.
