Chasing 'Lost' Season 5: Some Like It Hoth

April 16, 2009 at 1:06 AM | by | Comment (1)

Just where in the world is LOST? Each episode, we're looking at the real and fictional locations of LOST from a travel perspective, and plotting them on our Google map. Be sure to check out all the map points, updated weekly!

This week, the focus is all on Miles and his backstory. After a few clips showing him as a boy and then rebellious young adult, we come to find that Dr. Marvin Candle is his father. Although Miles never knew his father in his first life, he has the unique opportunity to get to know him on the island.

Miles also has a gift for seeing dead people -- and by that, we mean he's a ghost whisperer. On an errand for Horace, he and Hurley deliver the body of a Dharma person who had an unfortunate incident with electromagnetism. A metal filling in a tooth came loose and exited his body through the head. Not a nice way to go. It got us wondering what resources there are for emergency dental work abroad. Since medical tourism is all the rage, you might want to check out what Healthbase has to say about dental tourism.

Those funky Dharma VW vans are everywhere in this episode, and we thought it might be fun to learn more about them over at Lostpedia or check out a full history of the famed Volkswagen Kombi. We'd like to bid on one once the show wraps in season 6!

This week, we got to see a very busy Dharma Initiative building the Orchid and the famous hatch. Also, a group of researchers arrive from Ann Arbor, and Daniel Faraday is one of them. So now it's 1976 and pretty much, the gang's all here. Next week is a special recap episode, with the first of the final three original episodes for season 5 airing on April 29.
