LOST: Ji Yeon

Originally posted: March 14, 2008

I said I wasn’t going to read any more spoilers. I wish I had been telling the truth. I read yesterday that Jin’s was a flashback and Sun’s was a flash forward and that good ole Jin was dead. Man, I wish I hadn’t have known that. Last night’s episode would have been so much more enjoyable if I’d had no clue. Oh well - shoulda, coulda, woulda. I liked the episode though, even though my beloved Jin got killed off. I guess the Lost killing off DUI actors tradition still stands. Oh how I miss my Mr. Eko!

So, where do I start? Michael’s back and it was meant to be a huge shocker. Maybe if the producers hadn’t included Harold Perrineau’s name in the credits since episode one of season four, then we’d all be more surprised. I loved the scene where Sayid and Desmond "meet" Kevin Johnson/Michael Dawson. Badass Sayid seemed a little surprised (which is cool because that man is never rattled), so surprised the he stuttered his own name. They were still able to act like they didn’t know each other though. What a cool scene. I can’t wait till next week so we can find out what Michael the monster (I will never forgive him for killing Libby!) has been up to all this time. Maybe we’ll find out where Walt is too.

Sun is worried about the baby and she knows Juliebitch has a history of lying, so she wants to go to Locke’s camp. She’s freaked out by the Freighter folks and doesn’t think she’ll get off the island if they stay where they are. The loving Jin says, "Wherever Sun go, I go." I love that man! So the Kwons would have just wandered off to Locke’s camp, if it hadn’t been for Juliet. (While I am glad Sun gets off the island and has the baby because of Juliebitch, I still hate that manipulator.) Too bad Juliet had to pull a Ben and break Jin’s heart to keep them on Jack’s side of the island. I hate her for telling Jin about Sun’s affair. His face when he found out just broke my heart. I was yelling at the tv when Juliebitch told Jin. (Joey now thinks I am crazier than crazy.) My favorite moment: when Sun slapped the crap outta that terrible slutface Juliebitch. I HATE Juliebitch! It was so great to see her get what was coming to her. Thank goodness Sun and Jin made up. It was so hard to watch them fight. I just love love love those two.

In Jin’s flashback, we realize he is not getting the panda for their baby. He’s brining it to a Paik contact. We also find out he’s only been married two months and it’s 2000. Sun’s flash forward has Hurley coming to visit and meeting little Miss Ji Yeon. (I’m so glad Sun makes it off the island and has the baby!) They go to visit Jin and he’s dead. I can’t believe Jin is dead. How sad. This scene made me cry. So Jin’s tombstone says 9/22/04, the day of the Oceanic crash. What does that mean? Did he die on the island and it was easier to say he died in the crash? Is he still alive on the island, but they have to pretend he is dead for some reason? Oh so many questions… my head may explode.

New Questions:

* Desmond and Sayid got a "Don’t trust the captain" note. Does that mean the captain is lying about the cabin fever? About the black box? About working for Widmore? Why would he give all that information up so easily?

* The captain wants Ben. Did Ben stage the crash? We know he can travel on and off the island and must have some kind of access to amazing resources. If he did it, did he do it to keep people from looking for flight 815? To keep the island safe?

* Where did the 324 bodies come from?

* I can’t remember, so someone help me out here, have Desmond and Michael ever met? I don’t think they have.

* Jin’s date of death is the day of the crash. So does he stay on the island? Does he die on the island?

* Why is Hurley go to Korea? Did he go to meet the newest Kwon? Since Jin’s tombstone was already up, it’s not like he was there for the funeral. Why did he ask if "anyone else is coming?" And why was it "good" that no one else is? Does this flash forward take place before Hurley ends up in the mental hospital?

* Who’s the final Oceanic Sixer? We’ve got Jack, Kate, Hurley, Sayid, and Sun. Jin must not count because he "died" the day of the plane crash. Does that make Aaron number 6? Or did someone else get off the island?

* How can they say Jin died the day of the crash? Sun got pregnant on the island. If Jin died September 24th, then wouldn’t the time for the pregnancy not add up? They were on the island for awhile before she got knocked up.

Next week – "Meet Kevin Johnson" is Michael centered. We’ll find out what happened after he and Walt sailed away from the island. Plus Libby is back. WOO HOO! I loOoOOoOve Libby. Oh and someone is going to die. Who do you think it will be? Will we find out what happened to Jin or will it be someone else? Please don’t be Claire!! After killer Michael’s episode the show will be off until April 24th. Six more weeks without Lost... How will we survive again?!

A little spoilery... don’t read if you don’t want to know…

What to expect for the rest of the season:

Episode 9 - "Bakir" - Sayid Centric
Apparently this episode will be a Sayid flash forward that will show what event was used to convince Sayid to work for Ben. Bakir will be the first person Sayid is required to kill for Ben. He also noted that we will see Abbandon at some point in this episode, The way he worded it to me though made it sound like they would mention or show a picture of him, and that the actor wouldn’t actually appear. (Ummm… didn’t we already get a Sayid episode?! Not fair!)

Episode 10 - "The Outlier" - Ben Centric.
I am not sure about all the math stuff posted in the rumor that also confirmed the same name of this episode that my friend gave me. However, my source said this would be a Ben flashback that will focus on filling in most of the blanks on his time on the island. Most of the episode will be spent in flashbacks not in real time. Apparently it will show his actions right before the purge, an earlier encounter with Jacob, and the beginning of the pregnancy problem, which will include Annie dying in childbirth. (Ben sucks.)

Episode 11 - "Untitled" - Locke Centric
Apparently during episode 10 Ben will reveal some information to Locke off camera and the two will head off somewhere unexplained. Similar to the Brig, this episode will fill in the blanks about where they are headed. Locke will learn how his father ended up on the island and this episode will show the re-appearance of the rest of the others who have been in hiding. Harper will be in this episode and i guess it is now safe to assume to Alpert will be in this episode. (Yay! I heart that crazy old bat John Locke!)

Season Finale - Ep 12/13 - Jack Centric
This will be a Jack flashforward showing how he got from his state of mind in Eggtown/the beginning of the end to how he ended up in through the looking glass. We will learn who ended up in the coffin and will jack’s beginning efforts to come back to the island mirror the real-time events of him leaving the island with the rest of the "Oceanic 6". (Oh joy, a king Jack episode.) ---- source: http://losteastereggs.blogspot.com/
