Yes, I noticed it and yes, it annoyed me. Of all the shows of television, Lost is one that should get the details right. People notice everything.
I’m assuming everyone, like me, thought that Sun was going to confess to Jin that she had an affair with the bald Korean guy. They were certainly leading us down that path.
An interesting question is if Jin isn’t the father and Sun didn’t have an affair, who’s the father of the baby? Was there ever an opportunity for the Others to secretly impregnate her?
Sayid and Charlie seem to be a couple now. What were they building?
On the other hand, Bernard and Rose seem to be having some difficulties. Is this supposed to be just a tiff or are we seeing that they were never the loving couple we had been led to believe?
I liked the final scene with Henry. My guess is he’s become fatalistic after all he’s gone through and no longer cares what happens to him. So he’s going to mindfuck with Jack and Locke even when the smarter course would be to suck up to them.
It was backwards? I figured it was Korean, without the English subtitles, so we viewers could empathize with Jin. I’d never thought about that before, how it would feel to only have one person you can talk to.
I liked that they followed up on Rose and Bernard’s tiff, with Bernard looking for a pearl for her birthday.
Sounded like backwards English to me. I recall various threads on this message board about what English sounds like to a person who doesn’t speak it. It was a nice way to put us into Jin’s head. I actually forgot Jin couldn’t understand Sawyer for a second when he Daddio’d him.
Mr. Gorply is such a softie.
When Ana mentioned that a week had passed since she and the rest joined the original Losties, my thought was, gosh, seems more like it was months ago! Damn ABC and their one episode per month scheduling!
OK, this is what bugs the shit out of me about Lost. Everyone knows that Claire was kidnaped and that The Others have taken all the children. The first thing you do is DON’T EF’N TELL EVERYONE YOU’RE PREGNANT!! Then, don’t leave Sun alone. Ever. Especially not in the very spot she was kidnaped earlier (not everyone knows it was Charlie). Being pregnant on the island is not a happy occaision folks.
How good is Henry Gale? I assume he’s playing some sort of psych experiment. I had no doubt they’d find a balloon. And I have no doubt that HG is one of The Others. I can’t wait to see the look in his eye when he finds out Sun is pregnant.
You missed the best part. Gale started taunting Locke and Jack. He mentioned that he drew a mpa for AL, and when they obviously didn’t know that he said “Wow, you people have some trust issues” or something like that. Then he said something like “It’s a good thing I’m not one of those people you’re afraid of. If I were, I’d have drawn a map to a place where your friends would be ambushed by my friends, and then they’d offer to trade your friends for me.” And he had this very creepy look in his eyes the whole time.
Uhh, depending on how much cereal you saw him eat, he kind of taunted Jack and Locke. First he told them that A.L. had him draw the map, then he said something to the effect of, “If I were one of them wouldn’t it be a good idea if I drew a map that took them to some secluded area like a cave or underbrush, where these others could easily ambush them, and capture them, and trade me for them. Huh, wouldnt that be a good idea.”
Henry always has a creepy look. It’s the whites of his eyes–they’re so large.
I believe Sun. If the Island healed Locke, it could have healed her tubes as well.
More nicknames from Sawyer: “Daddie-o, Sunshine, Papa-san.” Did I miss any others?
I liked the swipe at Jack and Locke–“You guys fighting all the time…”
Oh, I’m sure there’s Lost-slash fan fiction out there somewhere. No, I will not link to it.
And then Gale lay down across the table, and his neck got all stretchy, and his head fell off, and big insect legs sprouted out of it, and his leggy head went scrabbling across the floor, and Locke said “You gotta be fuckin’ kidding me” and killed it with a flamethrower.
Or, no, wait, on second thought, I might be confusing it with something else.
Oh yeah. That’s right. Sorry, that was from something else. The actual ending is that Gale falls off a cliff, and there’s a mountain lion and a grizzly bear…
P.S. I am a bona fide heterosexual male, but Daniel Dae Kim sure is one hunky dude, huh?
Is it possible that Charlie is the father of Sun’s baby, from when he attacked her? That was my first thought, and I’m not totally convinced it can’t be true.
And yeah, after that last speech by Gale, they should kill him just for being terminally stupid.
And it occurred to me that AL was checking out Charlie’s “bum,” about 5 seconds before it occurred to Charlie.
You mean Jin’s tubes, right? Anyway, they never did show what happened between Sun and the bald guy (what’s his name again?). Which means that we can’t quite trust what Sun said, right? How long has it been between that scene and the pregnancy test, anyway? Is it too long for bald guy to be the daddy?
[nitpick]
Actually, it’s Jin who would need the healing. According to the doc there’s nothing wrong with Sun. Which is why the doubt over whether or not she did the bald guy.
[/nitpick]
But come on, Sun, really. I mean, your husband might be a violent criminal, but he is teh hot. Is the hotel manager’s weenie son really so appealing?
D’oh, you just beat me to it. Dang site slowness… Regarding the pregnancy timing, they’ve been on the island nearly two months, right? So, presuming she hasn’t had a period since the crash, she could have gotten pregnant just before they left Korea (which pretty much rules Jin out as a father), or shortly after the crash. Remember, it wasn’t long after they landed that they had their big fight over the English thing, followed shortly by Jin’s raft adventure. So for Jin to be the father, they must have had some frisky “yay, we’re alive!” nights immediately post-crash. Hey, I would.
I don’t believe that Charlie did anything to her - that’s too skeevy, even for “let’s have an incest sub-plot!” Lost. But in any case, that was only a few days ago, in Island time. Wayyy too early to be feeling the effects of pregnancy.
If you’re referring to the woman in the flashback in episode 1x06 “House of the Rising Sun” – she was helping Sun make arrangements to leave Jin and run away to America. The only reference to the English lessons was the woman saying, “Have you been taking your lessons?” There was nothing in that conversation to imply that this woman herself was the person teaching English to Sun. (I just went back and re-watched that scene).
HG (pouring cereal): This must be my reward for good behvior, huh? I guess I earned myself some goodwill for finally drawing that map for Ana. Locke: What map? HG: To my balloon. Jack (to Locke): Did you… Locke: No. HG (while crunching on dry cereal): Wow, you guys have some real trust issues, don’t you. Guess it makes sense she didn’t tell you. I mean, with the two of you fighting all of the time. 'Course, if I was one of them, these people that you seem to think are your enemies… what would I do? Well, there’d be no balloon. So I’d draw a map to a real secluded place. Like a cave or some underbrush… a good place for a trap. An ambush… And when your friends got there, a bunch of my people would be waiting for them. And then they’d use them to trade for me. I guess it’s a good thing I’m not one of them, huh? You guys got any milk?
