Time Keeps On Slipping

r_scribblesGot chance this avo to watch Lost Eps 'The Little Prince' and 'This Place is Death'. Epi 6 is lined up for tonight, but I thought I'd jot down thoughts and theories so far
NAAAWWWWWWWW, DesnPen had a baybee! And they called him Cha-lee! I love that they're on the lam in their boat and have been for three years - all they need is one another. That'll learn you to interfere in your daughter's life, Jim Robinson! However, the naming of the Humes' son has set a faintly grim theory in my mind - what if Charlie Hume is destined to become Charlie Pace? With all the time-hopping, anything's possible now. Maybe all of the Humes end up stuck in the past, either DesnPen die or have to stay on the island and Little Charlie is sent back to England to be adopted. It would be a super twist, and it would mean that all throughout S3, Des would have been trying to save the life of his son without knowing.
Speaking of babies, Am know 100% certain that Miles is Dharma Video Man's son. It seems that Miles has been on the island but doesn't remember it and it can't be a coincidence that a male baby of far eastern descent was made prominent in the opening scene of the series. I knew it would either be Jin or Miles.
Speaking of which again... JIIIIIIIIIIIN!!!! I knew he wasn't dead! No Body = Not Dead as far as Lost is concerned. Nice to see Danielle's early days on the island too, although you do have to wonder why she never mentioned in S1 that she'd seen Jin 15 years previously... as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sharelle said, maybe there are moments in S1/2/3 where Danielle gives Jin little Looks that we'd only be able to pick up on a rewatch, but I think it would have been nice if maybe she had been particularly hostile towards Jin or freaked at his presence in the early seasons and never explain why. In fact, there haven't been any points yet where S1/2 mysteries can be explained through the presence of the newly time spasticked Losties in the background, which I think is a shame. It would be nice to see at least a couple of minor early conundrums be solved this way - surely that would be one of the benefits of a surprise!TimeTravel! plot twist. I can't even think of early moments where something was moved or changed mysteriously that *can* be attributed to the Time Spastics.
Oh, and how cute is Ji Yeon? So adorable! I can't pretend I'm actually that interested in the Oceanic 6 storyline, though, even with the presence of the ever-awesome Benj. just tranquilise them all and drag them back, Benj, I'm sick of them forever angsting and changing their minds. I love that he pulled the van over and started yelling at them though. If I'd been trying to heard that lot back into saving their own friends and family and been stuck in a motel room with Jack Bloody Shepard, I'd be at my wit's end too.
Love-love-loving all the Wibbley-Wobbley-Timey-Wimey, however. The old temple is my new favourite place. It's cool. Anything that suggests an ancient civilisation on the island, like the four toed statue of WTF-ness, sends a weird shiver down my spine. The bit with the appearing/disappearing well was flipping ace.
Charlotte... :((( I probably wouldn't care quite so much was TFI Faraday not so hung up on her. Hope we see more of her story as Dan and the rest continue to slip through time. Hoping her father is someone important because I like stuff like that. Her death also means that Miles will probably be next, and I don't want the Grumpy Exorcist to die. He's supercool.
More thoughts after I've watched eppie 6!
