Ok... before I start a disclaimer... I've only watched "Three Minutes" once and that was in an exhausted sort of trance... I got and understood the ep but never got around to formally posting an entry since I usually put my thoughts down on paper. But, since tonight is the Season Finale, I thought I might as well try to recap the ep for posterity. I'm also trying to write this while watching the feed from ABC... If you missed a recent ep, this is a good way to catch up...
--------------=+=--------------
13 Days Ago.....
Michael is watching Locke put guns away... Hits him on the head and then threatens Jack to let him go... Locks them in the safe and says he's going to find Walt. (Now at this point I'm thinking that Mikey has just flipped out again and is going back to get his boy... again. It took me until around 20 minutes in to realize that this was a pseudo-flashback and not the Lost writers trying to blow my mind with the longest time jump in series history! Again, remember that I was REALLY tired and it was 11pm.... forgive me for rambling). He rushes to the Apple IIe and types to Walt who tells him to find the rock with the hole in it to the north... "You'll know it when you see it." "Its gonna be Ok.
Today....
Mike is standing outside the Swan hatch and he burns a piece of pink notebook paper... drops it to the ground and gets caught by Jack "Getting some air". They go back in and Mikey starts rambling about a plan to go conquer The Others. Hurley "mentions" that they haven't even done anything with Ana or Libby (here's where one bell was going off in my head about the time frame... 13 days with Ana and Libby laying around has GOT TO REEK!) Mikey still wants to go and Jack says they will figure out what is next after they bury the ladies. Sawyer and Kate take Ana, Hurley and Jack, Libby. Wahahahahahahahah... Lost zooms in.
13DA.....
Mikey is tracking someone and for some reason his compass is working (I thought Sayid said that wouldn't work?) He finds someone taking a leak and in the process of holding him up.. he gets taken down by Mr. Friendly. "What are you doing? We need him!"
Today....
Mikey is cleaning up the blood from Libby when Eko walks in and tells Mike that he didn't find Faux Henry in the jungle. "I hear you're a priest?" Eko helps clean up the blood while telling Mikey a story about redemption and the fact that even after the worst events, people will forgive you if there was a justification for your actions. Mike takes off through the jungle and throws up just before meeting Jack. "I've got to get my son back... It has to be the way I said... It won't work any way else... You don't get to decide this... It's my son.." "Then that's the way it'll be"
Claire is playing with Turnip Head (no not Charlie) when (imagine) Charlie shows up, tells Claire that he and Eko are building a church and that he found some vaccine on the food palate. He's already tested the vaccine and the pneumatic injector and there's enough to last Claire and Aaron for quite a while. "Do you think that you and I could.... " "Oh my Gawd, Michael's back!" Charlie strikes out again.
Mike meets and greets and then the lostaways start noticing that Ana and Libby are no longer with them... Michaels says, "They were murdered"
13DA.....
Mike is in the jungle and spits on Mr. Friendly. "Fairs fair. I took your boy." Kate has gone and gotten herself captured (and this is when it finally hits me that the writers want us to not to back 13 days, but actually think back 13 weeks.... {sigh}....) while following the guys that went after Mikey. Alex is there and Mr. Friendly is going out to talk to the boys. The scene unfolds as before but in the background, Alex and the guy that caught Kate are discussing other matters. Alex tells Mike, "Its OK.. He's trying to scare your friends." Alex convinces the other man to take Kate out (thus the confusion of whether Alex was a male or not) and then asks about Claire and the Baby. Friendly picks up the guns and returns to Mike where the guns are divvied up and Alex knocks Mikey out.
Today...
Mike is brooding with Vincent while Sawyer and Jack do the male bonding thing. Sawyer admits to not being Irish and then asks about what happened in the jungle with Kate. "We got caught in a net." "Is that what they're calling ti now?" As they leave the tent, Sayid asks when they are going to finish this but Jack says that Mike's making the calls on this one and doesn't want him along. Guns get handed out left and right.
Back in the hatch, Eko finds the magnetic wall interesting just before resetting the timer. Charlie shows up and confronts him about abandoning the church. Eko asks Charlie to bring his things from the beach to the hatch to which Charlie, finally, gets a backbone and tells him to "bring your own things. You better leg it man.. The clocks ticking"
Still brooding with the dog, Michael gets PO'd that Sawyer told Sayid about going to The Others. "I thought that if we are going to war, we would want the one person who's actually been in one!"
11 days ago...
The Others are marching down a hill and Mikey is ticked... They have arrived at The Other's camp. Lots of people, some armed guarding another hatch, some washing clothes, others staring rudely in Mikey's direction... Manners people, manners! The hatch symbol is a rectangle that sorta looks like the obelisk from 2001. "Tell her we are here" Pissing man comes up and takes some blood from Mikey and then Ms. Klugh (Clue) shows up asking questions about Walt... Is he your biological son? Did he have any illnesses growing up? Headaches? Fainting spells? Did Walt ever appear in a place he wasn't supposed to be? He was halfway around the world.. Did you ever see him? Mikey doesn't answer... Hmmmmmmmmmm.... "I want to see my son now!" "For someone who wants his son back so badly, you don't seem to know much about him." ... dumbfounded pause...
Today...
Mikey tells Sayid he's not coming... It's not going to work. Why is it that Sayid is not coming? Michael makes the decisions on this. "I gotta do this my way" "Of course" Yeah... like Sayid believes a word of it...
Charlie is trying to build the roof of the church and being shorter than I am... he's having a bit of trouble. Vincent shows up with a statue in mouth. Charlie follows to Sawyer's tent and finds the "stash" of virgins. He gathers the virgins up and tosses them to the water gods, completing his conversion from interesting dope head to clean and sober lostaway while Locke watches and seemingly doesn't care.
Jack meets Eko in the hatch and tells him about the funeral for Libby and Ana. "I will morn them in my own way." Jack and Sawyer try the bonding thing again, this time Sawyer says that he didn't even know Ana's last name. "It was Cortez" Who's gonna talk at the funeral? Hurley's gonna talk about Libby, yada yada yada... "I screwed her" "What?" "That's how she got my gun.. She jumped me... We got caught in a net" "Why are you telling me this?" .... Wait for it...... "Cause you're about the closest thing I've got to a friend doc. Cause she's gone... Well, at least I get to kill somebody!"
Kate and Hurley are digging graves. Michaels pitches in to help and tells Kate they are leaving tomorrow morning. He also asks is Hurley is going? Why would I want to go? "Cause the killed her!" "Sorry about Walt, dude, but I'm not going"....
3 days ago...
Mikey is in a tent tied up and Ms. Klugh walks in with dinner. He asks when they are going to kill him since he's seen where they live and doesn't know the answers to their questions. He doesn't even know if Walt is alive. "He alive Michael... He's right outside." Then there is the little issue of Faux Henry being captured. The Others can't go get him but Mikey can. If he does, they will let him and Walt go free. Mike wants to see his son... right now or he won't do it.... Picket brings Walt in and they have Three Minutes... hence the ep name... Walt is OK. They make him take tests... "We're not going to talk about that." yada yada yada... "They're not who they say they are.. They're pretending!" "Walt, do you want me to put you in The Room again?" (What? What room? What tests?) "Pretending? Pretending What?" And now they're done. Walt breaks free and tells his dad, "Help me! Help me please! Don't leave me!" "I love you dad!" Klugh tells Mikey they need him to do something else after he frees "Their Friend"... She's writing four names on a piece of paper and he is to bring them, AND ONLY THEM, back to the camp. Any more or any less and he'll never see Walt again. "Do you understand, Michael?" "What do I tell them?" "It doesn't matter. They'll be angry enough to do whatever you say." "Who's James Ford?" Duh.. Saywer. The other three? Jack, Kate, and Hurley. If he does what they say.. He gets his son back. "Then I want the boat!"
Today.....
The funeral for Ana and Libby begins. Sawyer broods now over Ana as Kate watches.. She's such a tease... Locke ignores the whole thing, cuts off the cast, and limps into the jungle toward something...
Sayid and Jack talk about his father's funeral and Sayid tells Jack that he thinks that Michael has been compromised. "Lets keep walking Jack"... "His actions are not those of someone who is telling the truth." "Why would Micheal lie?" "I believe that he freed Henry, and I believe that he is leading you into a trap" "You believe a lot." "I also believe that Henry is one of them." "We have one more night to work this to our advantage."
Jack gives Ana's Eulogy. RIP Ana. Then looks over at Mikey. "Libby was... she was .... a psychologists, or psychiatrists... one of those... she helped me... she was my friend... I'm going with you!" "Goodbye Libby...." Claire grabs Charlie's hand (maybe Charlie finally finds his way?) as Sun looks out to sea and says... "Boat... BOAT!" Pan around to the beach and there floats a sailboat!..... LOST!
