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...."
Also, it took me until after the show to realize that Mikhail was eyepatchy guy!
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?
I met Mr. Friendly today!
Doing press for
Happy Town.
He was fun to talk to.
Fun fact! M.C. Gainey is the reason Mr. Friendly is gay.
He was annoyed that time Kate found his fake beard on the ground and then his locker. He was all, "I have a
locker
? And this beard is
fake
? You couldn't have told me that?" So when there was a bit about Kate taking a shower and she told him not to peek, and his line was "You're not my type," he decided that if Kate wasn't his type...Sawyer was. He started playing Friendly as gay. For instance, when they asked him why he was throwing the football so terrible, he was all, "He's never thrown a football in his life! But if
Jack
wants to throw a football, he's going to throw a football!" And then the writers made it textually canon.
