All of these flashforwards aren't to a point in time which is a resolution as seems to be implied imo, I think they are flashforwards to a point in time just before the final plot resolution. 703694@blogcritics.org Tue, 18 Mar 2008 19:49:54 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/03/14/181352.php#comment-702864 It's trace and piers altheway, no doubt. A southern boy knows how to take on the city, also no doubt about it! Go Trace! 702864@blogcritics.org Sun, 16 Mar 2008 09:18:07 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/03/14/181352.php#comment-702730 I'm guessing Trace and Piers. 702730@blogcritics.org Sat, 15 Mar 2008 20:13:34 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/03/14/181352.php#comment-702514 Initially, I thought Jin was dead. But now I'm about 90 percent leaning toward him being alive. I think the rest of the world thinks Jin is dead and they think that his body was removed from its underwater confinement in the (faked) Oceanic wreckage and then buried, in its deteriorated state, in the grave. Or people think his body is still rotting away in the ocean and the gravesite is simply a marker erected in Jin's honor. I think Sun and Hurley, along with the other Oceanic 6 members, are putting up a front that he is dead. Jin's promise to take care of Sun and their baby made me think he was going to die in the end of the episode. But we didn't see his death, and Sun and Hurley didn't say or do anything that unwaveringly points to his death. Sun misses him because he made sure she got off the island but could not come with her. She may believe she will never see him again. It's possible he died on the island and is buried there, his true gravesite and means of death kept hidden from scavengers and the rest of the world. But I think this is Option B after the "Jin is alive and on the island" Option A. One more thing: I do wonder what it is that prevents the Oceanic 6 from wanting to launch a rescue party ASAP. I can see Sun waiting until the baby is born, and Kate feeling responsible now for Aaron above all else. But what is it that kept the others from wanting to get back as soon as they got off the island? I can see them not TRYing to get back for the people they left behind, if there's a threat hanging over their heads about their safety or, more importantly, the safety of their fellow castaways. But they seem to have no initial interest in going back for the others (not until Hurley's visions of Charlie got the ball rolling). Not WANTing to go back is pretty surprising, don't you think? 702514@blogcritics.org Sat, 15 Mar 2008 14:01:19 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/03/14/181352.php#comment-702291 once upon an island far far away jin tells sun that the baby is a girl,remember the dude buying the panda that baby was a boy, so after desmond comes back from the boat with walt and the terrorist jin kung-fu's him or tell me about my babys fate, so "desi" tells him he tells sun. they are all real happy so jin goes out in the ocean to get some fresh susi and spears a nice one but a big ol shark already has plans for it gets pissed and tears ol jin a new ass.this is the honest to god truth stop me if you heard it. 702291@blogcritics.org Sat, 15 Mar 2008 06:21:29 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/03/14/181352.php#comment-702097 Though it is a coincidence, I admit, I hardly think that the writers are willing to sacrifice the direction of this high-rated show in order to punish actors for personal problems. 702097@blogcritics.org Fri, 14 Mar 2008 20:24:58 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/03/14/181352.php#comment-702081 Jin has to die because the producers have an unofficial rule that if the actor gets in any kind of trouble with the law, you get killed off. Ana-Lucia, Libby, Eko, all suffered this fate. Now it's time for Jin, the actor who played him got in some trouble last year, and now he's a goner. 702081@blogcritics.org Fri, 14 Mar 2008 18:44:23 EDT
