I can't believe they still have not come back to him since the last time we saw him with the grenade in his mouth! Unless I'm missing something?

I'm assuming his jaw hurts pretty bad or else he exploded.

It is kinda weird how they've just ignored this little piece of the plot... I'm actually beginning to think that Locke killed him already and is just not telling anyone yet. :eek:

I hope this hasn't been posted yet but...

Is Miles STILL holding that grenade in his mouth? Man, his jaw must be killing him...

You really want to know?

The fate of Mile's jaw is revealed in the Canadian teaser for next week

I usually avoid spoiler tags... But I just had to read that one...

Boy, am I glad I did...

It's on abc.go.com/primtime/lost also

didn't read the spoiler since i am spoiler free these days and loving it! I just have to say I'm glad we haven't seen Miles for the past couple of weeks. I can't stand him.

I hope this hasn't been posted yet but...

Is Miles STILL holding that grenade in his mouth? Man, his jaw must be killing him...

hahaaha...i was totally thinking that last night. that would not be a fun time

Spoiler below....
Don't worry. We will see him next week.

Dude's jaw must be killing by now. Something had to have happened by now

Probably has a splitting headache. lol




"Do I get one?"

Fake Grenade

I'm assuming his jaw hurts pretty bad or else he exploded.

This is what I was thinking. Can you just picture it? Locke comes in with the food, puts it down, then very carefully removes the hand grenade from Miles' mouth while holding that button. Locke keeps his finger on the button while Miles eats and drinks, then he very carefully and meticulously puts it back into Miles' mouth. All the while that button is never disturbed and no one blows up! NOT!

I was watching the replay of "The Other Woman" last night and noticed that Claire approached Locke asking about Myles. He told her he had been bringing him food in hopes that he would eventually talk. I'm thinking he took the grenade out already. Did anyone else notice this?

And yet, no one heard it explode? Where exactly does someone dispose of an active hand grenade?

I'm still wondering how Locke gets it out of his mouth and then back in again without it going off? Now that's precision!

You can just put the pin back in. No boom boom.

Locke has gotten the information he needs from Ben (if he can trust his word), so he wouldn't need to keep using the Grenade on Miles. Then again Locke is a psychopath.

I'm not sure if I like the Miles character that much. He's at least kind of interesting but I haven't decided on how I feel about the character. Hopefully they will advance his story more if they want to keep him involved in an interesting way on the show.

yes this has been a problem with this season, for example i am displeased there has been no on screen interaction between Alex and Danielle.

You can just put the pin back in. No boom boom.

My husband just said the same thing to me about 5 minutes ago. I am so dissapointed! I thought Locke was truly gifted. ;)

"Do I get one?"Do you get one what? :confused:

Aw, I miss Miles. I love that guy. I'm pretty sure Locke kept that grenade in his mouth for just a few hours and then put the pin back in. He's fine.

Do you get one what? :confused:

lmao ; )

"Driveshaft, more like Suckshaft"

Any fun suggestions on how they can resolve the whole Miles & the grenade situation?

Here's one:

Remember the Pulp Fiction scene with Jules, Vincent, and Marvin in the car?

I'm just imagining Ben & Locke in the front seat of a pimped out Dharma van. Ben is driving, with Miles tied up in the back of the van, grenade still in his mouth.

Ben tells Locke, "You know what they call a Big Mac in Australia? A Roo sammy with cheese".

Locke turns around and starts telling Miles some goofy story about his box factory days, while twirling the grenade pin.

All of a sudden, the van hits a huge bump. Oops! Miles drops the grenade!!!

Ben & Locke bail. The van hits the tree and blows up. "Oh crap the freighter people are gonna be pissed. Why do I have to pick up these bits of Miles - it's your fault."

I know we see Miles next week. Well, the preview makes it look that way, we may not.

Claire: Where's Miles?
Locke: Bad...really bad headache.

Supposin Miles just shows up again with no explanation. Supposin we have to wait for a Locke island flashback. Gotta let some time pass before that.

Seriouly, The writer's can come out of this with just a couple of lines the next time Locke and Miles are scened together. I just wanna know if he talked or not.

Locke got the 3.2 million dollar to Ben information from kate, so I don't recall Locke indicating that he has received any info from Grenade Lips yet.

Sawyer: How's Miles?
Locke; Well, he'd probably be dead if he still had a brain...

Started worrying about Miles last night, too.

I'm thinking we'll see a conversation between Claire and Miles at some point. She wanted to talk to his group and find out who they are. Since they are separated from the beach losties, there's no way they know anything that's happening with Charlotte and Daniel.

I suggest that parts of him will show up over the next few episodes.

best post of the day...


I think Miles has an acquired taste for grenade by now....the grenade is still in his mouth...

Ok seriously......Im really starting to worry about the poor guy. I sure hope they show something regarding the little pickle he is in!!

They have to show him next week. They haven't shown Locke's camp for more then 5 minutes in a few episodes.

Kinda funny that Locke stuffed a grenade in his mouth, because Miles really did need to just shut up. He was getting a bit annoying. :)
I hope they show Team Locke this coming episode, its my favorite group.

Someone mentioned this after the last episode in an older thread here and someone else had a hidden spoiler response.

I dont think that Locke actually put a live grenade into Miles's mouth. He still wants to beat some info out of him so what good would a splattered mess be?

Yeah, I'm wondering about Miles too.

Certainly he must be through eating his breakfast by now.

How can you tell if a grenade is live or not? Pull the pin and count to ten.... right? Unless Locke's some kinda demolitions expert.

The "Miles and the grenade" threads will always be my favorite threads. It makes me laugh every time.

When the show ultimately ends, I hope this is the reveal they save for last.

You can tell if a grenade is live or not through the bottom of the grenade, there is a small hole in which if nothing is inside of the grenade, its a dummy, if explosives are inside, it is live.

Good to know!! Thanks for clearing that up.

I was wondering the same thing and someone pointed out that all that has to be done is for Locke to put the pin back into the grenade and it can be taken out of his mouth safely. Darn!!! And I thought Locke must have some special sort of gift for removing that grenade so Miles could eat.

How realistic is the grenade scenario? I honestly don't think you could fit a grenade in your mouth, and even if you could, I doubt you could hold it for very long.

I have to tell you that if I thought that thing was going to explode if it came out of my mouth, I'd find a way to hold it there.

The will is strong, the body is weak.

You want an example? How long do you think you can hang from a pull-up bar before your arms exhaust and you fall? Try it and time yourself (I have), you'll be surprised at how little time elapses before the muscle wears out. I'll bet it's less than 5 minutes.

If you want to duplicate what Miles is doing, bite on a baseball and a spoon (spoon representing the safety lever) and see how long you can hold it.

Season Six, last episode, final scene. A ship is seen pulling away from the island, leaving a lone Locke waving as he stays on as King of the Island.

Locke: "Ahhh! It's been a rough coupla years, but at last all is right in the world... Except I still have that nagging feeling I've forgotten SOMETHING?!?!?"
[In the distance, we hear a muffled "Boom!" coming from the direction of the Othervillage.]
Locke: (grinning with embarrassment) "Whoopsie-Daisy!"

Alternately, I say the grenade is gonna turn out to be a novelty cigarete lighter.

His jaw does get to rest while he eats and drinks. Even Locke said that. ;)

Its a bit far-fetched, but hey, what part of Lost isn't? I thought it was clever. It would be funny if it turned out not to be a real grenade. Locke cracks me up.

Very creative and funny. Who could argue with an ending like that? You should submit it and see if they'll pay you a royalty.

I think you'd be surprised how long, if it mattered. But realistically, is this grenade even live? I dont think so. If not, well then that grants poor Miles a little lee-way. Anyways, who's to say Locke doesn't come back in five minutes? I think he comes back relatively soon, and I hope to see it in Episode 9.

I assume Locke already has dealt with Miles, thus his knowledge of the $ 3.2 million figure. I don't believe Locke was there when Miles talked to Ben, and I don't believe Kate would have told Locke what was said. So, since Locke asked Ben about the money, I assume that in one of the many interactions which must take place off camera for the series to finish in our lifetime, he has taken the grenade from Miles' mouth and gotten some inside info in exchange (or at least something Miles believes is truthful info).

I could be wrong, but I thought Kate did tell Locke about the conversation between Miles and Ben. Didn't Locke and Sawyer show up and to talk to Kate, and Kate had to tell Claire it was alright for her to leave the room so that the conversation could be private?

Yep. Kate told Locke about the $3.2 million dollars, and I'm guessing he knows what it means.

Isn't it interesting all the things that people are doing to inflict pain and suffering on others that they would NEVER do in a million years in the real world? Sure Kate blew up that dude, but it was a long over due payback and protection for her mother. And it wasn't "direct"...meaning...the kill was secondary to the explosion she set up. And yea, Sawyer inflicted a lot of financial damage, but remember how sensitive he was to the little boy whose parents were his con?

So what is it that has them on such an adrenaline rush? Is it fear of dying or a will to survive? When you really think about it, these two ideas are very different. All I know is that I can't imagine under any circumstances having the guts to put a live grenade in somebody's mouth who was not about to kill either me or my family.

ack...it's way too late to be thinking this hard.

Didn't Locke kill that under cover cop in the woods? Sawyer killed that shrimp truck guy in Australia that he thought was the real Sawyer. Eko killed lots of people. Jin beat people up as part of his job for Sun's father. One died, but not at his hands directly. A lot of these characters didn't have very nice pasts. Maybe all the stress on the island is bringing out the worst in them that was already there.

Gosh, you know, these people ARE pretty much violent crazies, aren't they? I don't remember Locke killing the undercover cop though..but still...remember WAY back when he was working at the box company and the military games? THAT was freaky, IMO.

Anyway, I'm beginning to see where each character has a definite "Dark Side/Light Side". Except for Claire, haven't seen her dark side yet that I can recall. Which may be the reason Aaron is so protected later on by Kate...to protect his inate purity (???)

Thinking out loud again...

Very creative and funny. Who could argue with an ending like that? You should submit it and see if they'll pay you a royalty.
I think everyone would argue with an ending like that! NOT creative. Maybe funny. But this show's not a comedy. There'd be a lot of people P.O.ed if it ended like that!! I'm guessing mnw was kidding.

No it wasn't and it was designed to murder her father so yeah, pretty direct in my estimation.

Locke didn't kill the undercover cop. No wonder you're all so confused!
