Meet Kevin Johnson
4 months, 1 week ago by WillRead more: Lost Episodes, Michael, season 4
I have to be totally honest – I am not a fan of Michael the character, and that is a testament to Harold Perrineau and how he has been able to turn Michael into such a reprehensible character on the show. To recap, Michael, the ever reluctant father, was last seen striking a deal with Ben to get himself off the Island and reunite with his son. And all he had to was kill two people and sell out the rest of his friends in the process – all in a day’s work I suppose…
Which leads us to tonight and one of the most highly anticipated episodes of Lost in the last two seasons. What exactly was the deal he struck with Ben? What happened with Walt? Did they make it back to civilization? Where is Walt now?
And finally, how did he end up on the freighter as Kevin Johnson?
Spoiler Warning
ABC’s Official Show Description
“Sayid confronts Ben’s spy on the freighter, and Ben urges daughter Alex to flee Locke’s camp in order to survive an impending attack.”
Though most of the episode will be Michael-centric, we will definitely see some interesting things happen with Locke’s crew as well.

Ha! First. Let’s see if all the 100’s of posts were correct about Michael NOT making it back to civilization

I think that Michael did get back to civilization at some point. Where else would he have gotten that nice haircut?

Katie, it’s going to be 4 or 5 weeks before they start putting on new episodes again.

Go, Sayid! He’ll get all the info out of Michael. Heh….Man, 4-5 weeks with no new LOST episodes. : (
Wonder who we’ll lose tonight….Juliet? Claire? Jin?

I have a feeling this is gonna be a good one! Can’t wait for my Lost-sushi night. BTW, this might be for a different thread, but I bought the LOST game for my PS3… it sucks. don’t get it. lol.

This hopefully will put an end to our “where’s Walt-o” game. In honor of last week’s Chinese ambassador, and Jin, who I think will die this week (or soon), we are having Chinese food tonight for our “LOST dinner”. OK, so there are no Korean take out places around here in Michigan’s Thumb (Yes, we really call it that. Just look at a map!). Can’t wait for the episode to start!!

Alright…here we go!!!! Very excited for my last official episode. I guess the next one is set to air on April 24th and I have Cubs tickets for that night…what do i choose? Lost, Cubs, Lost, Cubs….we’ll see.
I have feeling we will be seeing Michael back on the main land, whether it be a FF or a FB, and hopefully we will learn how he seemed to so easily infiltrate the freighter folk.
Comment 13, posted 4 months, 1 week ago - Quote and reply
I think that Michael did make it back to civilization but something happened and he came back. Ben must have gotten his hands on Walt and is using him to get Michael to do things for him. Today we are probably going to find out why Michael is working for Ben again. Cant wait!

Frank is a bit of a mystery to me…is he good or bad?
Why was he replaced by the other pilot Seth?
Why did he memorize the flight manifest?
When he went to deliver the lima beans to Sayid and Desmond he ran into Keamy
Keamy: Do not be late upstairs
Frank: I’ll be there
Where would the two of them go?

Exactly! I think he was replaced by the other pilot for 815 because he has a drinking problem.

“meet upstairs” sounds like a mission briefing.
Maybe when Frank was replaced on 815 it was under suspicious circumstances and that’s why Frank started investigating and tried to investigate all onboard. Maybe that led him to where he is and he realizes he needs to try and save as many people as he can.

++++++++++++++++
Naomi had complained to Abaddon that the “team” had no comment training and would have noone to protect them. Abbadon said “they have you” and she said “I can only do so much.’ He also told her to get in, get out and make sure noone gets hurt. The others on the ship may be burley sailors and not solders.
Ben (actually Miss Clue) promised to “get Michael and Walt off the island,” not to get them home. I don’t think Michael got past the ship. I think it’s like the movie Bedazzeled with Dudley Moore. He keeps making deals with the devil but the devil uses words to trick him into wasting his wishes. When he wishes to be rich the devil makes him rich but unhappy, and so on. Ben has now made another deal with Michael to get him off the freighter and home if Michael will spy for him. Michael has begon to see that deals with Ben are bad. I think Michael might be the one to die tonight. I’t a gut feeling.

I am reviewing last week’s episode because there is no enhanced version on this week…
I can’t stop thinking about the blood that Kevin Johnson (Michael) was asked to clean up. Im just sharing some info / refresher in hopes of gaining some insight…
Wikipedia says the blood on the wall in Sayid and Desmond’s room mirrors Radzinsky’s blood in the Swan. Radzinsky committed suicide by putting a shotgun in his mouth and firing it, causing a blood stain on the ceiling. Because of the protocol, Kelvin had to bury him within 108 minutes. Wiki also explains that Sam Toomey committed suicide. Sam Toomey worked at a military listening post monitoring long wave radio transmissions in the South Pacific. He first heard the Numbers one night and used them at a fair to win $50,000. He got into a car crash, as well as had other future unlucky occurrences, and blamed the Numbers. Hurley attempts to track him down, only to find out that Sam committed suicide in an attempt to end the curse.
So someone on the freighter committed suicide, other than Regina… Was it Frank?
About Frank, there was a flashback where he saw Oceanic 815 on the news, and he noticed that the body of the pilot, his friend Seth Norris, was not Seth’s body… so how come he has not asked anyone where Seth is or if he is dead ?
Also, how cute is Sun’s baby?

Good question!! I does seem like something he should have asked at some point. It was a big enough deal for him to call the airline, but not a big enough deal for him to ask about him on the island?? You are absolutely right.

‘dont be late upstairs’ weird thing to say considering they were stood on the deck of a ship at the time!
here s a question thats been burning a hole in the back of my head…why didnt this expedition turn up on a normal ship or a yacht, It would have been more practical and quicker and considering widmore’s money,should have had more modern technology on board.
you would only go to sea in a freighter ,if you had a large cargo would you not?
Whats in the cargo hold? ….a piece of plane wreckage for instance?…or two pieces ???ready for dumping in the sea with the black box .which is totally not the original 815 black box…do ya get where im coming from?

Comment 60, posted 4 months, 1 week ago - Quote and reply
The Kahana Is a supply vessel common to offshore oil fields such as those in the Gulf of Mexico, the North Sea and offshore Nigeria. This type of boat is used to ferry food, water, stores and drilling necessities like “liquid mud” to oil drilling platforms. This type of ship is generally built for speed and not duration, so the last port of call is likely close to the destination. However, it appears to have been modified for the specific task of finding the Island, and accommodates two helipads on the deck where the boat would normally carry pallets of supplies. The first helicopter allegedly went down near the Island when Naomi arrived there. The other one is piloted by Frank Lapidus.
The sickbay is the domain of the ship’s physician, Ray. A latch on the outside ensures that persons can be quarantined within. George Minkowski, and later Desmond and Sayid, were held there. The radio room was the domain of the ship’s communications officer, George Minkowski. All calls to and from the Island and the outside world came through him in the radio room, which was filled with communications equipment. A calendar was used to keep record of the passage of time. Shortly after the ship anchored near the Island, someone on board sabotaged all the equipment.The “quieter part” is a section of the Kahana. It is described as the quieter part of the boat by Ray. There is at least one room in this section of the boat, the purpose of which is currently unknown. In this room there are cockroaches and a large blood stain on the wall.
