The Boy and I were talking after the episode, and he was saying how friendly mafia!Keamy was.
"I don't think 'friendly' is the right word," I said.
"But he was smiling, and making nice gestures, like offering to make eggs for Sayid," he said.
I realized he was serious about Keamy being friendly, and I tried to explain how, if someone knows that they pretty much can kill you in an instant, they don't need to come across as a badass; they can assume a pleasant demeanor. But that doesn't mean they like you/care about you/really want to make you eggs. It's just to fuck with you.
Also, it took me until after the show to realize that Mikhail was eyepatchy guy!
I really wanted "the package" in the submarine to be Ji-Yeon. Because maybe she's the Kwon on the list.
And OH MY GOD WHY NO JIN/SUN REUNION?!? I CANNOT TAKE THIS ANYMORE!
The no reunion thing has gotten a bit old, I think. I hope they don't wait until the finale.

That's why he looked so familiar. Thank you!

I totally missed that as well. Thanks!

It was actually when we were drifting off to sleep, and I realized it and said, "Oh my god! Mikhail was eyepatchy guy!"
The Boy, being basically asleep, said (and here I paraphrase), "Whzzzzmm?"
Me: "Mikhail, the Russian mobster-translator guy? Was in season 2 or 3 and worked -- I think for Ben, and had an eyepatch, and he was hard to kill, and that's about all I remember. But that was him! ...and this means nothing to you since you didn't watch that season, does it?"
The Boy (again, paraphrased): "Ynmzzzzzzzzz..."
But, hey, *I* was thrilled to make the connection.
I was pointing at the TV going "eyepatch guy, eyepatch guy" and the DH is all "huh?" then I said "he was the guy in the house near the tower with the horse, or cow or some hoofed animal" and he's still all "huh?" until Mikhail got shot then he siad "oh yeah!Him...."

They said "Mikhail" before we saw him, and I said to the friend I was watching it with, "Is that the Mikhail with the eye patch?" (I blame my recent re-watch of the entire series for remembering the name.) And then I entirely failed to recognise him, and she had to confirm it was indeed him. How did he manage to look so much younger? It wasn't just the lack of eye patch.
and he's still all "huh?" until Mikhail got shot then he siad "oh yeah!Him...."
Heh. The shooting in the eye was clever.
Not my favourite episode this season - but then, I never was much for the Kwons.
Theories on how Desmond is going to be key to fighting Smoke Monster Guy? I want it to be something to do with the purple-sky explosion that only ever seemed to affect him. There has to be some kind of plot purpose to that. (Unless there doesn't.)
I remembered Mikhail, but had forgotten about the eyepatch.
Since Claire's last name *was* on the wall in Jacob's cave, does that mean than Aaron is a potential (and not on the island, so by smokeylocke's logic they can never leave) or was he just lying to her?
eta: or is it just a "no potential can be left on the island" scenario in which case having Aaron and Jian off the island already makes them irrelevant to the planning?
