LOST Episode 5×13 “Some Like it Hoth” - Screencaps, Easter Eggs, Audio, & Analysis

April 15, 2009

Good episode tonight. Nothing too earth shattering, but it was nice to finally fill in Miles’ storyline. We also enjoyed the banter between Miles and Hurley. Leave us your thoughts at 920-626-6086 for inclusion in the podcast. On to our thoughts:

Recalling that Miles said he was from Reseda, I was waiting for young Miles to stumble upon Mr. Miyagi fixing Daniel LaRusso’s bike at the apartment complex. For those of you who don’t know what the hell I’m talking about, you’ll have to brush up on your Karate Kid trivia.
After getting a taste of the Miles and Hurley pairing in Whatever Happened, Happened, I really enjoyed the pairing in this episode. Their discussions generated most of the Get Lost COW (clip of the week) nominees. Pretty funny stuff.
I can’t take the phrase “circle of trust” seriously after Meet the Parents.
The abundance of Star Wars references, all the way up to the episode title, were brilliant. The writers must have been sucking up to Damon.
It was no surprise that Miles was Pierre Chang’s son. Back after 5×04 The Little Prince we had a poll asking whether or not you thought that Chang was Miles’ father and over 90% of voters said yes.
It was funny watching Hurley squirm just a bit when one of the Swan builders was reading off the numbers.
We were treated to a new bit of intrigue last week with Ilana’s “What lies in the shadow of the statue?” question. We saw in this episode that the goon who was with her on the beach, Bram, tried to redirect Miles from joining Widmore’s science team and asked Miles that same question. It’s also noteworthy that this exchange took place back in 2004, so this new team has been in place for some time now. Bram also hints at this “war” that we’ve heard about and that he believes Miles in going to be on the wrong team. So, whose team is Bram on? Vote below in our poll. Popular choices include DHARMA and Ben. DHARMA seems to make sense, but who knows.
I have a suspicion that Chang didn’t abandon or discard Miles and his mother like his mother made it sound. Instead, I think getting them off the island will be some sort of precautionary measure to keep them safe. I don’t have much of a basis for this other than a hunch predicated on the way Chang reacted to and played with baby Miles as older Miles looked on from a distance.
Once again, we got a not so subtle hint about the Egyptian influences on the island. The chalkboard in the classroom was littered with history on Egyptian language. My guess is that we’ll continue to get more Egyptian tie-ins yet this season.
Kate is an idiot for the way she handled Roger Linus. I’m not sure what part of laying low she doesn’t understand. Sigh…
News flash: Juliet is still hot.
LaFleur and our other Losties just might be screwed at this point after Phil saw the security tape and LaFleur subsequently knocked him out. Will LaFleur be able to work his con man magic or is the cover finally blown?
Once I heard there were scientists from Ann Arbor coming in on the sub, I was a bit disappointed when it wasn’t the DeGroots. Don’t get me wrong, I love Daniel, but it would’ve been great to finally get an “in person” look at the DeGroots.
