On to the learning:1. Pierre Chang is definitely Miles' dad. This has been the speculation since Miles was introduced (go go racism?), and now it's confirmed.
2. Hence, Miles was born on-Island and left it at a very early age. Either that or Pierre left.
3. Miles' powers are explained. He doesn't hold conversations with the dead, he is only able to glean impressions and feelings off a body (not ashes) as to who the person was. (I assume he'd have an equally difficult time reading someone who'd been eaten by a lion.)
4. Dharma is currently building the Swan and Orchid stations (1977).
5. Bram tries to convince Miles to not accept Widmore's offer. That allies him with Ben, right? Making him an Other? So is Ilana an Other?
6. Pierre really does care for lil' Miles. Why Miles never knew him growing up is a mystery. The Purge doesn't happen until 1992, and Miles was 15 then.
7. One can get very, very close to one's past self while time-traveling and there do not seem to be any negative effects.
8. Faraday is not dead. Miles seems very surprised to see him, indicating that Daniel has not merely been on an extended trip to the mainland.
Two points from me.
ReplyDelete1. I don't think Miles was actually born on the island. When Ethan was born, they said they normally send the women away before they give birth. I think that Miles takes Hurley's advice and talks to Dr. Chang. He tells him all about time travel and about the upcoming purge... and Dr. Chang sends his wife and son away to protect them. Making it Miles own fault that he never knew his father. ...Whatever happened, happened. Right?
2. I don't think that Bram not working for Widmore automatically means that he's working for Ben. I think there is a third group of people that are going to mix into it. I personally think that there are two groups of "others." The group that is with Richard and another group (either a group with Ben or these people with Bram). There's just something about the leadership organization among the others that makes me feel like we don't have the whole picture. You have too many people that are "in charge": Jacob, Ben, Richard, Widmore, Ellie.
OR
The group with Bram could be an ancient group from even before the Ellie, Widmore, Richard others. A group that was on the island with the statue and somehow was kicked off by Jacob and Richard?
That's all.
