Yeah, man. Good, good episode. I have a special place for sad korean eyes. I guess that’s why I like the Sun and Jin episodes so much. They never miss. The emotional bulls-eye is always hit.
Now as for Gale. The writers are killing me. They’ve written him so well, that I don’t even have a leaning, either way, on whether he’s an “other” or not. I like how this show straps you down for an amazing ride the end of which you really can’t guess. I loved how Gale’s comments seem to reflect what the people at home are thinking. “What’s the computer for? How old is this cereal? Got any milk? You people aren’t curious enough.” Also him busting on the Jack/Locke trust issue was great. What a great character. And STILL I don’t know if he’s lying.
Back to Sun and Jin. Like I said before: they are FIRST RATE. Those two actors are just top freaking shelf. Butttt Suuu-uuunnnn. Your eyes tell me you’re lying to Jin about being faithful, but true to “Lost” form—it could be nothing. I don’t even know what to think. We may find out that she didn’t cheat, that it’s a lil miracle.
This is important to me, kinda. I’ve seen that almost everyone on the island has been up to some form of evil-doing. All except Sun. I think may she be sullied. OR we’ll find out she’s GOOD and that GOOD people do exist among the other islanders with closets full of skeletons. BUTTT I’m starting to think EVERYONE has something really messed up in their pasts. Even the ones who SEEM to be good. Time will tell.
On the comedic tip [and you’s all know I’ve got one] While watching “Lost” last, my pal Spammy and I got to brainstorming about the potential “bebby-dadda” of Sun. It could be Jin. It could be MICHAEL. OR ANY DUDE ON THE ISLAND, Anna Lucia included. We kinda went off the deep with the brainstorming and we came up with the SMOKE MONSTER being the daddy:
it’s night. Jin is still out to sea. Sun turns in for the night after a hard day of planting.
the smoke monster begins swirling around the tent, machine/snake sounds blaring. Sun huddles up, scared. the smoke monster quickly enters the tent and a “struggle” ensues. the sounds turns from a struggle to that of love. a loud, mechanical howl cuts the night air. several hours pass.
a familiar shape appears at the front of the tent. what looks like smoke is rising from it.
camera pushes in slowly to reveal the smoke monster has taken a mans shape. and is smoking a cigarette. the smoke man flicks the cigarette into the ocean and dematerializes into the jungle.
Sun peaks out, concerned. she looks around and smiles a satisfied smile, closes her eyes, and disappears back into the tent.
Yes, we are insane.
It could be Jin's baby the island seems to have healing powers.
yup, the island healed Locke's legs. maybe it helped Jin's "little guys." ya never know.
i only saw the last 10 minutes of this episode as usual, and the exchange between Gale and Jack and Locke was CRAAAAZY
i don't mind the spoilers. I"m gonna download this episode probably tomorrow... whenever it's up on Itunes
