So about the rest of the season...
Watch it come down to having only 6 seats on the helicopter... and Sun getting the last spot. Jin sacrifices being with her to save her and the baby's lives... so they're separated, but he's not dead. OK, here's hoping anyway...
That does make sense - but Sun being at the tombstone talking to it like Jin is really there is a bit odd - if he is still on the island.
Your theory may also explain why Kate had Aaron (but then why didn't Kate give up her seat for Claire?).
OH THIS SHOW GIVES ME A HEADACHE!!!!!
- as an aside - on another board I'm on someone thought the lady that jumped off the boat was LIBBY!?!?!?! - these poor people have no clue.
I understand what you're saying -- but I don't agree.The epi is really [wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth]ing me off. This one has come close to ruining LOST for me. The mixed ff's/fb's weren't intriguing. It was just convoluted. There is a difference.
I'm reading other threads in a different LOST forum. Other people are confused like I was. They also think Jin faked his death only to be let down. A plot twist shouldn't have to involve going on the internet to figure what the actual twist was supposed to be. It should also leave you feeling excited, not let down. The conspicous absence of Jin should've been enough but they had to throw a pointless flashback in there? This was just... STUPID!
If they continue this convoluted story-telling, I'll know that LOST has jumped the shark.
And, yes, I'll probably rant for days about this... So you might place me on ignore... LOL
Fabulous analysis, reps for you!I understand what you're saying -- but I don't agree.
Including the flashback for Jin could have had a number of valid plot-worthy reasons. Sun may have been fantasizing this as she was in labor. She may have remembered Jin telling her that story, and while she was calling out for him, she may have been imagining the reason he wasn't there was because he was out running around trying to find a panda bear for her.
It might have been included to juxtapose the difference in the man Jin was then, and the man he is now. Jin forgave Sun because he knew he was a colder, emotionally withheld, different man back then. That man had fits of rage, threatened to kill men who stole cabs from him, stomped on broken cell phones, bribed shop owners for bears that were held for other customers, did what his boss told him to do no matter what it was, no matter how he had to do it, and callously told a hospital nurse, "It wasn't my baby. Don't rush me, I've only been married two months."
Juxtapose that Jin we saw in the flashback, with the Jin who stood by his pregnant wife even after learning she'd had an affair, the Jin who was willing to follow her wherever she wanted to go, even to Locke's camp, the Jin who loved her with all his heart and made sure she knew it. His flashback was a reminder to Sun perhaps, but definitely to the viewers, of how far he had come since arriving on the island.
I didn't think it was pointless at all, really. I thought it was kind of lovely. And it sure blew my pants off when I figured it out.

When in time was it that we saw Hurley come and visit Sun? (and yes, Red...I had those same thoughts for a bit)
