"Ji Yeon"
We start this week with The crazy helicopter pilot leaving to go on an errand. Where’s he goin’ -Target? Must be the island. Looking for Ben’s barracks maybe.
Sun & Jin are discussing baby names. Then a flash forward to her going into labor. The flash forward is mixed with a flashback of Jin. The writers had the viewers thinking Jin was rushing to see Sun. I’m not even putting any pictures of all that up. I was highly annoyed.
We see Sun and her new daughter. All I could think of was ‘clean that baby up. Get a wet-nap, for pete’s sake!
A doctor handed me one of the boys all messy once. I was like, "Oh great, my baby. Could ya do somethin’ with all the goop?" Wait, this isn’t about me.
Back on the Island, Sun asks Faraday if he is there to rescue them. Finally, someone does something! Faraday is all vague and basically says, "Not our top priority."
Sun tells Jin that she doesn’t trust them and they need to go to Locke’s camp. Juliet insists sun will die if she doesn’t get off the island. She tells Jin the secret Sun shared with her. I my other shoe at the TV screen!
Oh Yeah, Baby, That’s what Fussy’s talkin’ about!
Jin goes fishing with ol’ whats-his-name. He tells them that they are the ‘good’ guys. They have ‘karma’ on their side. He also called Locke a murderer. Sheesh, that’s a wee-bit harsh. Remember the ghost of Walt told him to kill Naomi?
Sun & Jin reunite. I officially ~heart~ Jin!
Back on the crazy boat, the crew are having a problem with cabin fever. Some chick named Regina bites the dust.
Hey, is that the island in the background? Three hours away? Hmmmm…
Sayid & Desmond get a note slipped under the door, "Don’t Trust Captain!"
When they finally meet Capt’n Cutiepants, he seems forthcoming. He tells them it is Widmore’s boat. He knows who Desmond is.
He pulls out Oceanic 815’s Black Box! He tells them that the wreckage discovery was a fake! 324 dead bodies, all staged. He thinks Ben did it. The original Capt’n Creepypants.
So do we believe the Captain is a good guy or bad? What do you think?
As they are escorted to their new digs, they notice a nasty splatter of blood on the wall. Obviously from a gun to the head. The weird doctor who escorted them called the janitor, Johnson, over to clean it up.
Michaelpalooza! He is introduced as Kevin Johnson. Sayid plays along. I don’t think Desmond ever met him.
Michael annoys me, always has. That is why I gave him diamond earrings in the picture.
Finally, Hurley comes to visit Sun. They go see ‘him’.
Ack, it’s Jin’s tombstone. The date of death is the date of the plane crash.
He must still be on the island. Maybe for some reason he had to stay. I hope.
Sun tells him how much she misses him, how the birth went and how she named the baby "Ji Yeon".
Argh, the pregnant hormones again. ~sniffles~

So there ya’ go, another really bad, really late installment of Lost.
Here is a good one! Also, this week’s awesome screenshots are from here.

Here’s a cute pic from the Lostie Forum.
Friends of Fussy, share your Lost thoughts. What happened to the six? Why were so many left behind? Why the cover-up? Did Ben stage the wreckage? Is the Capt’n good or bad? Does Widmore just want to exploit the island?

That episode made me bawl my eyes out. I think that Jin is dead and not still on the island – it doesn’t make sense for Sun to go talk to the headstone if he’s still living, really. But either way – waaah!
Two things:
If there were 324 dead bodies staged, and then there were the Oceanic 6, didn’t someone do the math and figure out there were 6 people too many?
And…
What postpartum diet is Sun on? My baby was born 11 months ago and I couldn’t wear a dress like that!
Capt’n Cutiepants–Ha! That’s the perfect name for him.
Capt’n Cutiepants–Ha! That’s the perfect name for him.
I’m going to say the captain could go either way. Mr. Widmore didn’t really like Desmond all that much… remember? So, he could be trying to make sure that he never gets home to his precious Penni.
OR Mr. Widmore could just want his baby to be happy so he’s pouring all of his money into the search and rescue effort. Penni did say that she knew about the island. Right?
They should not be allowed to do flashbacks and flash forwards in the same episode. That just isn’t fair. Seriously.
Love the added stars, fish and fireworks to the pics!
I think Ben is the only person who could or would stage the crash scene. I’m not sure about Widmore’s intentions yet.
I totally think Jin is on the island with the rest.. and I think Sun had to put up the grave stone because it was the only way she could explain returning to Korea to have her baby without her husband.
So now we know who the Oceanic 6 are – Jack, Kate, Hurley, Sayid, Sun, and Aaron.
A friend of mine told me that this season is all about how they get off the island. Next season will be all about getting back.. and the final season will be the final confrontation of good and evil.
Michael met Desmond when they first discovered the hatch. Remember, he was the one who came back and took out Penny and Anna Lucia. He was sent off in a fishing boat by Ben with a heading and told he would get home if he just headed that way. Now we know where he went.. another question answered in just two seasons.
Good catch, SPMom!
Desmond DID meet Michael.
Thanks Babe!
I think my head just exploded! I really, really tried (for my poor husband’s sake) to watch and become attatched to this show, but hello? I became LOST myself after espisode 3!
Your posts do crack me up though!
Kuddos on a great Lost post. Sun is my favorite character and I honestly hope that Jin is still on the island. Hurley left the mental hospital to fly to Korea? Why did he say good when Sun told him no one else was coming? Who’s funeral did Jack read about in the paper that made him call Kate and almost jump off a bridge?
Too many questions! I’m addicted!
My husband thinks that Aaron wouldn’t count in the Oceanic 6 and there is still one out there.
How does Kate explain Aaron, anyway? Obviously she wasn’t nine months pregnant when the marshall was transporting her. I think maybe they flash forward in time further than we think!
Great recap, Fussy! I think Jin is still alive on the island. Remember he said he would do ANYTHING for Sun and the baby. I think he will be made to chose between them living apart or not living at all.
This was a great episode!
Where is a spinning head smace when it’s needed.
fussy, you always seem to have my thoughts exactly on these “Lost” episodes!
I always read the “Lost” comments on the USA Today Pop Candy blog the day after the show is on. It’s a hoot to read everyone’s wacky and not-so-wacky theories. I’d say 95 per cent of the commenters think Jin is still alive. I would like to believe that, but my hubby thinks Jin will die next week.
I adore Desmond and Sayid. Is Sayid the coolest customer, or what? Never did care for Michael either. And we all knew that was going to be Michael on the boat…no jaw-dropper there.
A lot of the commenters on the USA Today Pop Candy blog were super-annoyed that the writers pulled that trick on us with the simultaneous flashback and -forward. It’s like the only reason for Jin’s flashback was so we would be fooled…unless they had some other ulterior motive that we are yet to discover. Who knows?
Whatever, I will be plopped in front of the TV, eagerly watching. “Lost” is simply the best show on television, bar none!
