:eek: oooooh! that sounds intriguing. thank you so much!
I don’t even have TIVO, and yet I am fully aware that Lost cuts out early seemingly every single week. I’m astounding people don’t know this yet.
Too bad, for you too, because in my opinion, the whole show was 60 minutes of repetitive bullcrap (OH my god. . .MORE Sun and Jin backstory!!!) and 1 minute of something intriguing.
Still, that was a good 1 minute.
Didn’t Gale make some comment about how Locke and Jack didn’t question anything? I think that was a 
to the fans about how no one ASKS ANYTHING!!!
The island cured Jin, just like it cured Locke.
I thought they ate all the food at the party, after Hurley realized there wasn’t enough to ration? How do they have cereal, candy bars, and ranch dressing?
And I am one bona fide heterosexual female, and YES, he is. Stop drooling on my TV boyfriend.
Anyway, I was also wondering why they still have so much food - I thought Hurley gave it all out in “Everybody Hates Hurley.” Locke made some comment that they have lots of food.
I don’t think Sun cheated on Jin - she’s been there about six weeks, so she’s probably had one period while there and now has missed one. The island cured Jin just like it cured Locke.
What good would that do? The Others already know she is pregnant. They are the ones who impregnated her.
Can you pass him over this way on nights when you’re tired or sumthin’? Cause…DAMN!
I got the vapors there for a bit! Then Sawyer throws a heapin’ batch of dimples at Sun, and I am one happy hetero!
Thanks for the recap of the last minute - I’ll leave off the long explanation of how I lost it - and a request: could someone please recap the previews for next week? Someone mentioned them, and I’m curious.
Not only that, but enough ranch dressing that they can use some for target practice!
Lotta good snark in this episode. AL’s line about Jack and Locke has already been mentioned, but Sun’s comment:
“Oh yes. I was trying to trap the son of a fisherman.”
was just mean. 
I hated this episode. What did we learn? That Jin was infertile? Whoopee! We learned more about the story from next weeks previews than we did from this episode.
And I know it’s supposed to be a “character-driven” show, but this was an utter waste in that regard also.
I say “boo!”
And I also caught the “You’re husband…” typo, so double boo
I agree that this episode had a lot of filler. I did enjoy the hunting party.
Did anyone else think the clearing where the balloon is supposed to be looked like the area from Claire’s flashback?
Did anyone else get the feeling that when AL was telling Sayid “No one likes me and I can’t do anything about that” that it was actually Michelle Rodriguez talking to the viewers?
So, my boss and I are at an impasse. She thinks Sun’s lying and was sleeping with Hotel Guy. I think Sun’s telling the truth and the Island/Others/Outside forces either cured Jin or knocked her up independently. What say you all?
And has it occurred to anybody else that with the speed of Island Time, Sun’s going to be pregnant for the next five to six years of show time?
Sun had that weird, far-away unhappy look during the hug with Jin. I immediately thought she lied about being faithful. Since they didn’t admit the answer, they can still choose whatever fits in best with the future story.
Henry Gale is my new favorite character on the show. The man, despite his fatalism, speaks it like it is and is obviously waaay smarter than anyone else on the show (except maybe Sawyer).
It is quite refreshing to see the whole Jack/Locke “partnership” coming to an end – it seemed that their entire power structure was based on a rigid control of information. This wasn’t a healthy way to run a burgeoning society, although it is perhaps the easiest. nterestingly, the Jack/Locke leadership role seems to be ending in a rather natural fashion – Jack/Locke have gotten preoccupied with the hatch, and now with Henry Gale, this has sown resentment while at the same time removing Jack/Locke from the surface life of the island. It is only natural for the huddled, uninformed masses to set their eyes on more accessible protectors – namely Sawyer or Ana Lucia/Sayid.
I don’t have high hopes for a freer structure emerging under any rivals, which seems to be a Sawyer-based one or a Ana Lucia/Sayid based one, and predominantly motivated by fear of the Others. But it will be interesting for a change. Charlie and Hurley remain wild-cards, they could definitely go either way. I think especially given the previews which make it look like
Locke and/or Jack get stuck in the hatch
that a change of regime will at least get people talking and motivated to do something on this island. Especially if Hurley is close in to the new top; everyone knows he can’t keep a secret.
I thought it was AL talking to the viewers.
-FrL-
When did charlie attack sun?!

On the radio during my commute this morning, they played the backwards dialogue. I don’t have a transcript, but it was basically just more banter back and forth between Sawyer and Bernard about who should/shouldn’t tell Jin about the pregnancy, and why/why not.
In The Long Con, when Sawyer needed to incite Jack and get Locke to move the guns, he got Charlie to ‘kidnap’ Sun for a few seconds and she got a bump on the head.
Per Cheesesteak, I think they played it ambiguous so they can go either way with it down the road.
I will say that while the Jin-Sun backstory was mildly interesting, the Jin-Sun island story was irritatingly shallow. It’s a bad habit the show has fallen into: in order to manufacture conflict, a character acts like an asshole for the first half; and to resolve the conflict, the character stops at the end. Lazy, lazy writing.
Drooling? I’m not drooling. I’m a straight guy, dammit. I can say Daniel Dae Kim is a hunk without salivating. It’s an observation. Y’know. I’m just sayin’.
No, I save my drooling for Sun in that miniscule nightie. Lordamighty.
