In this episode of the JoshMeister's LOST Podcast (episode 50!), the JoshMeister and other LOST fans discuss Season 4 Episode 8, "Meet Kevin Johnson".
(Please accept my apologies for posting this on the night when Episode 9 is airing! I was very busy during the mid-season hiatus and didn't get a chance to edit and upload this episode until now. Thanks for your patience!)
Meet Kevin Johnson notes:
- Present:
- Michael: "I'm here to die"
- Ben tells Alex, Karl, and Danielle to go to the temple
- Karl didn't know about the temple
- Ben says the temple is not for Claire and the other Flight 815 survivors
- Flashback:
- Michael tries to commit suicide by crashing his car, fails
- Michael's mom is taking care of Walt
- Michael's mom doesn't know what happened with the island; wants to know where they were for "two months" (which clarifies the timeline; this is a flashback, but after Michael and Walt left the island and before the present)
- Walt is having nightmares (we later find out it's because Michael told Walt that he killed Ana Lucia and Libby)
- Michael tries to commit suicide with a gun, Tom stops him!
- Tom tells Michael he can't kill himself: "The island won't let you" - and when Michael tries, the gun jams
- Tom shows Michael photographs of a cemetary in Thailand where he says Widmore got the bodies to put in the fake Oceanic Flight 815, and shows him an invoice for Widmore's purchase of the plane
- Michael was recruited to kill everyone on board the ship!
- Miles knew that Kevin was not Michael's real name
- Kimi is practicing with a machine gun
- In the present, he just left to go to the island!!
- Michael has some explosives he's about to detonate on the ship
- Libby apparition on the boat is somewhat reminiscent of Find 815 when Sam thinks he hears and sees Sonya
- The bomb is not real - when it goes off there's no explosion, just a note that pops up that says "NOT YET"
- Ben says nobody asked Michael to kill Ana Lucia and Libby, but Ben says he won't kill innocent people when he's in a war
- Present:
- Sayid just introduced Michael to the captain and explained that he's a traitor
- Karl dies (or so we might assume)
- Danielle gets shot; there is no exit wound - but did she really die? I don't think so.
- Alex yells out that she's Ben's daughter
- Matt from the Smoke Hatch pointed out:
- Libby was holding blankets in the hospital, similar to when Michael shot her
- The Temple had a DHARMA symbol, so is it a real temple or is it a station?
