First Look at Episode 4.8 “Meet Kevin Johnson”
Though I thoroughly enjoyed the last couple episodes of Lost, I’m looking forward to Thursday’s "Meet Kevin Johnson" more than I’ve anticipated any episode since "The Constant." I’m dying to see what Michael experienced during his time away from the island, and my excitement doubled when I read the TV Guide article teasing tomorrow night’s episode. Heck, I’m not even a Michael fan and I still can’t wait.
Unfortunately for us, "Meet Kevin Johnson" marks the end of the pre-strike Lost episodes, meaning that we’ll have to wait about five weeks before episode nine airs. Before we worry about that, check out the promo pics and advance clips from tomorrow night’s episode.
Here we see Michael looking at a case filled with. . .what, exactly? The worried expression on his face, coupled with what looks like wires in the case, make me wonder if it’s a bomb. However, I could be totally wrong and it’s just a case filled with DHARMA candy bars.
Another worried expression, and this time it comes courtesy of a tiny scroll that must have an interesting message on it.
Check out the two clips below:
Very cool Don … Tx for sharing!
Seems like Ben really is one of the “Good Ones”, and that it is necessary and desireable for individuals to die at particular times, e.g., Bea, Mikhail, etc. - RichPundit

Don’t Trust the Captain…
Don’t assume Michael is “the spy.” Yea, he’s there for Ben, but Ben obviously would’ve had a back-up plan if he knew someone was looking for the island on a freighter.
There had to have been a stop-over from the time Michael left the dock in LTDA and the time he meets the freighter… lots of possibilities…

I am really hoping that this episode is as good as it should be. I have a theory that the last 3 pre-strike episodes were put together very last minute and with no direction from the writers. Almost cobbled together as the strike loomed.
I hope I am wrong.

I think Micheal is on a kamakaze mission. He will do his work disabling the boat until his mission is discovered and he is killed.

Seems like Michael is there to destroy the boat….. but I wonder what happened to Walt. I feel like Michael would never leave his son.
Hmmmm…. makes you wonder!

Is it me or anybody else getting tired of the Michael I will do anyting for my son story? I mean he kills two people sails away, goo let him go, why did they bring him back? Whats the point? it brings nothing to the show at all.

Is Michael the sixth? Or are they counting Aaron? I’m confused, and if Aaron is the sixth, I feel jilted. That’s just me.

Does anyone actually think that Michael will actually TELL them what he’s been doing, or doing on this boat??? Please, if past Lost experience tells us anything at all, they will yell “What the hell are you doing here?”, he’ll tell them he can’t say, and they’ll say “OK” and go back to whatever they’re doing without one thought.

I know ggore that annoys me as well, if they all just sat down and discuss what they’ve seen and done they could proberly figure it all out.

TV Guide reaveals: There is a “darkly revelatory” series of flash BACKS involving Michael in Manhattan following his return to civilization. Four dead characters show up in this episode. (Friendly, Libby, Minkowski, Regina.) According to Cuse: “It’s safe to say Michael’s return to the outside world did not work out in any way he hoped or planned.” Walt shows up briefly. (And as a child, not taller ghost Walt proportions.) According to Lindelof “He [Harold Perrineau] was always coming back on the freighter, it was just a matter of [when] we were gonna reveal the freighter

Ben: you are childish. Grow up and go away.

LOST is so awesome that people have to spam their bulletin boards to try and conpensate for the trillions of fans. Thanks Ben!
Really looking forward to tonight. I suspect from the screencaps that his mission is to blown up the boat, but why wait? Why not have already done it?

is it just me or Michael looks way too old?? (maybe its the time variations of the island)
Comment by Marcelo Aviles — March 20, 2008 @ 9:32 am
anyone notice that spammer name is ben…and ben is the most hated character…do you think he was smart enough to do that in the future…
…anyways my opinion is ‘kevin johnson’ doesn’t remember the island or anything (maybe one of the many island effects) and then ben brainwashed him..maybe…or my other theory is that the he still doesn’t remember them or the island…however the spy is the captain and thats why no one trusts him…and he is so forthcoming with his knowledge when sayid and desmond talked to him
…i know that these theories are complete opposites and basically cover my butt either way the show goes but oh well
