Some Like It Hoth Review

Some Like It Hoth was a Miles centered episode that started when he was a young boy discovering his ability to talk to the dead. After Miles is using his abilities for profit, Naomi approaches him with an audition of sorts. After proving worthy of Widmore, she offers him 1.6 million dollars to go to the Island and hunt down Ben. Before Miles makes him imfamous fraighter trip, he gets kidnapped by masked men. One of these men is a passenger from Arjian flight 316 and asks Miles the 100,000 dollar question, “What lies is the shadow of the statue?” It's starting to appear that the Arjian 316 crew are more than they appear. They are obviously anti-Widmore, but who are they. Others? Dharma? A group we have yet to learn about? I'm not sure, but I do know Miles wanted 3.6 Million not to go to the Island. 3.6 million was also the amount Miles asked Ben for to keep his location a secret. Back in 1977, Miles is allowed in the circle of trust when he's allowed to deliver a body to Dr. Pierre Chang. First he picks it up from the Swan station. We learn that they are building the hatch in Hostle territory and that the electromagnetic properties of the Island are being discovered, because the man who died had his filling shoot though his head like a bullet. Once he takes the body to the Orchaid, we get another revelation, Dr. Pierre Chang is Mile's father. This has been a suspected theory since Because You Left. The rest of the survivors of the 70s are in some trouble though, it seems Miles didn't get around to erasing the tape of Sawyer taking young Ben. This leads to Sawyer having to punch out one of his security drones. It looks as if the jig is about to be up. At the end of the episode, Mr Farraday makes his return to the Island with a group of Dharma scientist. And who knew Hurley wrote Empire Strikes Back.
