No spoilers please as I haven’t finished the season…really just looking for a yes or no answer to this question(which could be answered in the following episodes,but want to ask now will it’s fresh in my mind.)

Its a flashback scene with Jin.His boss, Mr.Paik asks him to go visit a man at his home to deliver a message of displeasure.He gets there, the man invites him in,real briefly they show a shot of the mans daughter watching TV,its only there fer a second but the person on the TV show that the daughter is watching looks like Hurley. Is it?

It is, and I’m going to spoiler this but it really doesn’t need to be…I’ll let other people comment.

It happens a lot. If someone or something is going on in the background, it likely involves a character you should recognize, or someone you WILL recognize later in the season.

It’s all connected and intertwined. All of it.

I am hijacking this thread to ask a question of my own. IIRC, the Korean couple were traveling on the Oceanic flight to meet somebody and deliver a wrist watch. What was so special about that wrist watch?
