Destiny Calls Episode One - Charlie, Charlie & Charles
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
Because You Left
"How did we get here? How did all of this happen?" "It happened because you left Jack." For many casual Lost fans this episode revealed Marvin Candle's real name, and strangely showcased his child.
Is s/he perhaps someone we have seen before? Perhaps a strange asian man with an ability to detect the dead? We see Faraday (my favourite S4 character) either in the midst of a time jump or something else. Then back on the mainland we see the start of the return to The Island by Ben & the Oceanic Six. Season one slaps us in the face again on Island with the Beechcraft, Ethan and more of The Swan. We also see Locke obtain a compass, which keen-eyed Losties recalled was from Richard's speech in Cabin Fever, in which he asked a young Locke "Which of these things belong to you already?".
The Lie
"Libby says Hi." Unfortunately the first few minutes of this episode wherein the Oceanic Six discuss their lie could have easily been left out.
We see a familiar face working in what seems to be a DHARMA station, but is in fact placed in a church. This woman is none other than Ms. Hawking who tells Ben he has 70 hours, presumably to return to The Island with The Oceanic Six. Will they make it back in time, and if so, will The Island be in 2007 when they get there? Jughead
"Same reason I do. They're Others." Typing Jughead in to Wikipedia earlier this week lead me to believe there would somehow be a bomb in this week's episode and there it was. In regards to disposing of them bomb underground and with some kind of cement, might you direct your attention to this strange mystery?
Jeremy Davies again shines through as Faraday and confesses his love for a woman seemingly not long for this world in this episode. Charladay shippers put on your worry hats! Penny gives birth to baby Charlie, which makes sense from both sides of the family and Des tries to track down Faraday's mother, but there's no record of him or her. After finding some strange connections to Charles Widmore he bursts in to his office and demands an address for her.
A young Widmore runs back to Richard and the rest of The Hostiles while Locke easily tracks him and starts Richard off on the previously very strange involvement in his life to see if he truly does become their leader as he claimed. Ellie seemingly knows Faraday, perhaps from one of his jumps in time but we don't get to learn much more as they vanish again. POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD! The Little Prince
And with the recent press release mentioning many French characters and only one being female, I'd say we're timejumping to back when "Montand lost his freaking arm!". Should be good. It'll take me a while to get back in to this but for now, Namaste. *In regards to the title, we had a reminder of Charlie Pace, Charlie Hume was born and we saw Charles Widmore...twice. That's why it's that. |

Made me laugh, good article.
I have to admit, I was a little thrown off by "Because You Left" and "The Lie". It took me a while, but I've come around. I think I was just missing the traditional "centric" episodes we've come to know and love... and then hate. (Seriously... did anyone care what Jack did in Singapore?)
Oh, and I agree with you that that baby is probably Miles. Why else would they make a point of showing the baby?
And it was awesome to see Ana Lucia again! Darlton has pleased her one and only fan :) And "Libby says hi" was absolutly heartbreaking!
Anyways, one word: Jughead.
Loooooooooved it!
To be honest, I wasn't too excited about this episode, but I was deffinatly proven wrong.
Daniel + Charlotte = almost half as good as Charlie and Claire. (I mean that in the best possible way.)
And Charles on the Island? Did not see that one coming!
And did anyone else notice that girl's name was "Ellie"? As in "Eloise"? As in Eloise the rat... as in Eloise Hawkings! No? Maybe I'm just grasping at straws...
And yes, Faraday completely owned Jughead. (Des was a close second.)
And Juliet speaking Latin! Cool 8)
And lastly, Desmond and Penny naming their kid Charlie... I nearly teared up! (Okay, so I did tear up... but only a little...)
(I'm ignoring the fact that Penny's father is named Charles... Charlie Hume is named after Charlie Pace! Wouldn't it be cool to see Charlie and Aaron play together? That would be weird! Hey! They could invite Ji Yeon and have a Baby Lostie party! ...okay, I'm off topic...)
Anyways, back to my main point: Great article!
LMAO!
The main shock for me was Charles getting onto the island, couldn't believe it! My brother said he saw it coming, but I don't think anyone did, lol.
Love the article!
