“Luke, I am your father.”

“Miles, I’m your daddy, lost in time and space.”

“Roger… Jesus. You suck at life.”

Seriously.

Last night’s episode of Lost, “Some Like It Hoth,” wasn’t the greatest of the series, but it was a damn fun romp. It confirmed a lot of things that we’ve all pretty much been guessing at (like who Miles’ father was), and moved the story along nicely, setting us up for some interesting stuff to come…

I’m totally bringing you into the circle of trust with some quick thoughts  on the episode:

Miles. Charlie 2.0, I dig you. You’re a bit of a smart ass, but some of your cutting remarks are sharp and well placed. I think the revelation of what exactly the $3.2 million was about was very interesting (and last season, we all had to know that that figure was some kind of code), and I’m glad we finally got to see your super power in action a little more. And though I was excited to see it last year, clearly it makes much more sense this year in the death and resurrection season. Also, in the picture above, Miles is obviously pondering whether or not Hurley’s sandwiches are as good as Jack’s.

Kate. I know I beat up on Kate a lot whenever I have to talk about her, but to be honest and fair, I really only do so because it’s easy and she tends to deserve it. Sorry, Kate. I believe that you’re a smart woman, strong and capable, and a skilled criminal and resourceful when it comes to getting out of tight jams, and yet… WTF was your thinking when dealing with Roger? I hate to say it, but I think that Hipster Grifter could show you a thing or two on this.

Roger. Kill yourself. Or… just chill for another decade or two and go have a beer with your son to celebrate his birthday in your DHARMA van on a hill somewhere. That works too, man.

That guy Phil. I think the only person I want to see seriously injured more than this guy is Radzinsky, though that’s not going to happen for a while… Maybe not until “The Incident?” Hmm. (My new theory there is that Radzinsky doesn’t so much deep throat that shotgun as Kelvin just rams it into his mouth, because who could stand to spend five minutes in a room with that guy?) Either way. In addition to a season full of death and resurrection, this is also the year of Sawyer dishing out the hot, fresh man slap.

The Swan and…

The numbers. When Hurley witnessed that… What a chillingly effective touch, am I right?

Jack. If season 3 was very much the big year of Jack in so many ways, then in comparison this is the year that Jack just kind of takes it easy. He’s going to make a few sandwiches, he’s going to clean some education about Egyptian hieroglyphics off the chalkboard, and he may stop by for tea and to impart a little wisdom for you, but other than that, he’s just going to hang back. One can only hope for the return of some serious Jackface soon.

Dr. Pierre Chang. How can you not dig this guy? I mean, seriously. Supposedly he’s marked for death by the course of things, or perhaps he escapes into the past (my theory is that Daniel is the cameraman in that video), but I harbor a serious desire for him to get his own spin off when the dust of history settles.

All the best cowboys have daddy issues.

Horace Goodspeed. You know, Horace, other than you and Pierre, none of you DHARMA people are really impressing me. I am quite frankly astonished that the Hostiles haven’t accidentally wiped you guys out yet. But still, I dig your style. Circle of trust. Nice.

Daniel Faraday. “Long time, no see” indeed. About time, man. I really liked Faraday’s character last year, but at the beginning of this season he really established himself as one of the characters to watch because, well, he had something so few of the characters are ever lucky enough to possess: the answers. Personally, I’ve really felt his loss this past season and can’t wait for Pierre Chang and him to get down into the Orchid and do some digging into that Frozen Donkey Wheel.

Hurley’s plan. Not only does this get the BIGGEST NERD WIN EVER, it’s kind of a genius notion. Watch out, Leigh Brackett and Lawrence Kasdan, cause Hugo Reyes is coming after your ass. Hopefully, his “improvements” include more Lando.

Also, Ewoks. While I didn’t love them, I am prepared to defend them.

Also, What lies in the shadow of the statue? It was a good question last week and it’s an even better question this week. Fascinating to see Bram show up again, only back in 2004 when he was trying to dissuade Miles from going to the Island. Unless what he said in that van (and honestly, shouldn’t all clandestine meetings and interventions take place in the back of a high speed van after a mid-taco abduction?) was incredible misdirection or just flat out lying, then perhaps his people on Ajira 316 aren’t Widmore-ites. Perhaps the coming war isn’t Widmore vs. Ben, but Widmore/Ben/Locke, etc. versus… something or someone else? If I had to venture a guess, it’d actually be Eloise Hawking because… Who else could it be? Plus, she makes sense and would make a great villain.

NEXT WEEK: There’s like a special or something. Should be interesting, but ehhh, it’s just filler. BUT THE WEEK AFTER THAT: It’s Lost‘s 100th episode!

DHARMA Civil War, from the looks of it. And also cake!

But until then, remember… Whatever happened, happened!
