Right now a repeat of last week's episode is on with little trivia tidbits sprinkled throughout. I'm at the beginning of act two, where Mr. Miles "Ghost Whisperer" no last name is talking to an empty teenagers room and making off with a big was of cash. Interesting facts about Act I... The woman in Daniel's house is not his wife, it's a caretaker. Daniel Faraday is named in honor of Michael Faraday, a physicist who investigated electromagnetism and gravity. His comment about light is supposedly a clue about the properties of the Island... i'm lost.
Ben is still getting under everyone's skin, and it's interesting to see him finally using his silver tongue out in the open.
Who expected to see Sayid and Juliet teaming up? Only a couple of days ago he was insisting that he and Sawyer be allowed to get answers out of her (actually, it's rather interesting that Sayid and Sawyer were working together, too. You have to remember, season one is years ago to us, but it's only a couple of weeks ago to the castaways).
Interesting to observe... Ben riles Sawyer by talking about Kate. Jack and Juliet have little moments together. Hurley and Sawyer may become best friends next.
Act 3
Charlotte is named after C.S. Lewis (wow, Chronicles of Narnia reference) and seems to know something about Dharma and polar bears being in deserts where they shouldn't be. Miles' sarcasm is actually refreshing compared to Charlotte's false niceness and feigned interest in the castaways. I like Charlotte better than Miles, she has guts (she dove head first into unknown waters for instance), but she just seems a bit socially awkward. She knows what she wants and she goes for it, acting polite just seems fake.
Act 4
Greg finally gets a name! Seth Norris married his high school sweetheart at 19: verrrrry interesting. Frank feels guilty that he wasn't flying the plane when it crashed, and Seth died as a result. i miss Greg Grunberg (he's why i started watching Heroes, plain and simple) and hope we get more info on Seth. Well, time for the new ep! Good thing Charlotte was wearing a bullet proof vest lol... or is it?
Act 5
Abaddan is the guy who visited Hurley, and apparently hired the rescuers. Naomi refers to Charlotte as a head case (hm... another crazy?). Frank knows the manifest by memory and that Juliet is a "native"... which is what they called the people Ben joined. Ben doesn't know what the Black Smoke Monster is, apparently, but he does know who Charlotte is (and presumably the rest of the team).
Who was flying the helicopter that Naomi bailed out of? How many people are on the freighter and who is the "man" on the boat??? Is the name of the boat Rescue? Are Michael and Walt aboard? New ep is starting now.
It occurred to me halfway through this ep (this second viewing) that our impressions of these rescuees/searchers for Ben are probably going to be vastly different in the future. For instance, when Mr. Friendly was introduced he originally seemed very menacing, but when Sawyer finally killed him... it was a shock for me in a way because i knew i would actually miss him. i am wondering what is wrong about anyone wanting to find Ben, but also what's so special about him.
