It’s a week later and we’re still not over Ben’s emo bangs, but it’s time for a new episode so we move on. This one’s called “Some Like It Hoth,” which could be a reference to this, this, this guy or even this. Or maybe Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse are just Led Zeppelin fans. We don’t know much about what to expect, other than that it should be revealed how and/or why Miles hears dead people. Perhaps it’s just best if we defer to those in the know.
Here’s what ABC says about “Some Like It Hoth”: “Suspicions about a possible breach intensify after Ben is taken from the infirmary, and a reluctant Miles is forced to work with Hurley when he’s asked to deliver an important package to a top Dharma official.” Guest stars include: Francois Chau as Dr. Pierre Chang, Marsha Thomason as Naomi Dorrit, Doug Hutchison as Horace Goodspeed, Patrick Fischler as Phil, Jon Gries as Roger Linus, Eric Lange as Radzinsky, Leslie Ishii as Lara, Brad William Henke as Bram, Dean Norris as Howard Gray, Tim DeZarn as Trevor, Lance Ho as young Miles and Linda Rose Herman as Evelyn.
