LOST 3/13---spoilers a go go

Gee, who would have seen that coming? Oh yeah, ME! Last week.

How does Michael get on the boat under an assumed name, and where is Walt? (Or Tall Walt's Ghost for that matter).

I have no idea what the flash forward meant.

Jin is, once again, working for Sun's father... Sun is known as one of the "Ocean 6" so obviously her father must know she's alive... but Sun thinks Jin is dead? Does Jin not know Sun is alive and giving birth to his baby? And Jin has remarried? WTF?!?!

Is Jin alive for real? Or is that a flashback to when he first married Sun (when he says - "I've only been married two months"? And Sun doesn't necessarily think that Jin is dead. She only says "I miss you". As the post above - the people who don't come back to the mainland aren't necessarily dead. The survivors could be protecting them for some reason.

I didn't take the tombstone date to mean that Jin definitely dies at some point - it might just be to corroborate the story of the Oceanic Six for the outside world.  Perhaps Jin is still alive but stayed behind on the island.

At first, I thought it was annoying how they flipped back and forth between the Sun/Jin newlywed flashback and the flash forward of Sun having the baby on her own.  Now it's kind of growing on me though.

I think everyone saw it coming, Bear.

I'm still reeling from Juliet outing Jin's affair!!  Wowsers. 

Yeah, I noticed the large cellphone and the thuggish threats. But those phones haven't been used since the 90s.  I thought the writers said that these were flash-forwards? Maybe I read that wrong somewhere.

But if it was a flashback for Jin... what was the point of his flashback? I don't think any scenes are gratuitous, so what were we supposed to learn from Jin's flashback, if it were a flashback.

 I agree.

Well, it should have happened 7mos after getting off the island since she was 2mos pregnant, so yes her flash-forward would have preceded Jack's flash-forward, especially since Kate's story includes being charged, tried and released for her crimes - can't believe that could happen within 7mos of them being rescued (and we don't even know when they will be rescued, but Jin's delivery points to somewhere between the present and 7mos out).

Timeline aside, maybe Jack has no desire to fly across the Pacific ocean?

ha, true...not yet at least rather than telling us anything new, i think the point of the flash-back/flash-forward mix was to give the "surprise" that sun made it off the island, but jin did not.

That's what I thought.

Good point. I assumed Jin was in a flash forward and even said to myself "It seems as if they don't do flashbacks anymore."

Having the Jin arc be a flashback makes much more sense - all of the things Sun said/did were vague enough to back this up I think. 

I got questions: 

OK, are we counting Aaron as one of the Oceanic Six? Or do is there another be named?

1. Jack
2. Kate
3. Hurley
4. Sahid
5. Sun
6. Aaron?

Juliet said that Ben sent her to kill Charlotte and Daniel, did he do this through Harper, or at least Ben's manifestation of Harper?

Could the knocking sound on the boat be another prisoner? Maybe Walt?

Line of the week: when Kate is asked why did Juliet lied about the Tempest being a power station, she replies "Force of habit."

I kept waiting for Sayid to tell Desmond that is was morse code or something....

I also don't think Aaron is one of the six as he is being portrayed as Kate's son...? 

And what about Regina.  Reading the book upside down and then taking the big step off the boat (with chains).  Nobody cared.....Than the Doctor (Ekerdt from CSI) takes Desmond and Sayed to a new room and there is Blood Splatter on the wall....

My first impression of Michael was that he is brainwashed  or is it an act that he doesn't recognize Sayed?

Oh, I wondered where the Doctor looked familiar from.

I think Michael recognized Sayid - it seemed there was a glance between them.

Well, the trailer said "the last of the Oceanic 6" would be revealed specifically. No mention of the last "one" or anyhting like that - it was intentionally non-specific in this regard, I think? 

Anyone have any guesses as to why Hurley said "good" when he found out that no one else was coming to see Sun's baby?

It's bothering me, but I can't come up with any (plausible) reason other than the oceanic 6 did not part on good terms.
