>: 76 JI YEON

Hints, man. Always the hints. First scene, Frank Lapidus is being pressured to take off by, come on, some guy called Kimi? But he takes the lunch down. Where was he going, eventually?

Sayid. The note. “Three days ago. When I was in Locke’s camp. Ben claimed he had a spy on this boat.” Was that all bullshit for the imagined listening devices? Did Michael write the note? Isn’t Michael certainly the spy? If so, why is he slipping in notes in the third person? If all of this is followed by DON'T TRUST THE CAPTAIN in block letters, are we not supposed to dash ourselves against the rocks of his forthcoming questions?

Truly heartbreaking stuff while Sun’s in bed, calling for Jin. Dead. Right into the (turns out) flash-back where the guy at the curio store gives it away, Year of the Dragon is 2000, everyone knows that, next one won’t be until ’12, so there you are right there, but most, almost all, are caught in the narrative thread, failing to perceive the flash-split.

Wow, Bernard’s We Must Be the Good Guys speech was pretty over the top. Totally though he and Jin were going to get sacrificed last season finale with their good buddy, which cues Sayid on the freighter…

Ha ha haaaa. So much for Zoe.

The huge lines of the night:

“What exactly is going on here?” D.D. Hume

“Now can you imagine what kind of resources go into pulling off a feat of that magnitude?” The Captain

“Where exactly does one come across 324 dead bodies?” ibid

(And Ben did it? REALLY?!? Staged it? VS Charles Widmore? This is really too much to think about just now.)

“I’ll do all it takes to protect you and the baby. I promise.” Jin Kwon. What more really needs to be said?

(well, I will say that Jin dropping the two month thing, right into Hurley showing up at the front door in the suit right into that old Eb theme in the graveyard about crushed me. Again)
