I have to admit I came in this week not expecting much.  The past Jin and Sun episodes have been kind of slow but when they mixed in a little Widmore versus Flocke and a surprise Desmond at the end then I’ll take it!  I do just have to say that I was not surprised to see that Desmond was the “package” (see my post last week).  But dang am I glad to see him!

1.  Sawyer offers Kate “pretend” cocoa.  Very reminiscent of Charlie’s peanut butter he offered to Claire.

2.  Flocke asks Jin about his leg.  The real Locke knew a thing or two about injured legs.

3.  Jin gets to ask the question we all want to know, which Kwon is the candidate.  Of course Flocke lies and tells him he doesn’t know.

4.  I found it interesting that he has to get all the candidates together in order to get off of the island.  Similarly, all the candidates had to be together to create the perfect storm when they were trying to get BACK to the island as well.  I hope that they all end up back on the “good” side but from what I’ve read Sayid is gone forever in island time so unless he dies I don’t know how they can recruit him.  However, he did say he doesn’t feel anything but it doesn’t mean that Sayid doesn’t know what he’s doing and can’t still make choices.

5.  Sun was trying to pull money out of the bank that was really going to be used to kill Jin and she didn’t even know it.  Guess her daddy issues haven’t gone away in the new time line.  In the original time line Jin was also supposed to deliver a watch.  I wonder what that was about.

6.  Jin’s room is 842.

7.  The last time we saw poison darts the Others were trying  to take Kate and those guys.  They have really good aim!

8.  I love that Ilana has complete faith in Jacob and the island.

9.  Nice to see Sun back in her garden but how interesting that she lied about them being dead.

10.  Sun let Flocke speak to her yet she managed to resist his temptation.  He also tried to touch her but she resisted.  This girl might still have a chance.  I was very glad to see that not everyone gives in to the offers made to them by either guy.  I do think that Flocke said one thing that was true, he can’t make anyone do anything that they don’t want to do otherwise he could have just grabbed her after she knocked herself out.

11.  Jin wakes up in the same room that Karl was being experimented on.  Room 23.  They were really doing bad things to Karl.  I need to go back and find the images because I remember there was one about Jacob.

12.  Jin was making the maps back in 1977.  He was scouting around the island making maps for the Dharma Initiative.  Here is my theory of why they need him and his expertise on the pockets of electromagnetism.  Smokey is held on the island by the magnetism.  Whatever created him was a product of this energy.  The button pushing every 108 minutes not only kept the electromagnetism at bay but it also helped to keep Smokey tied to the island.  I think this is because he’s tied by chains and those chains are partially held there by the magnetism.  Maybe they need to somehow lasso this energy back to keep Smokey chained on the island.  Jin knows where these pockets are.

13.  Flocke basically tells Claire that once they are on the plane she can kill Kate.  Not that any of us are surprised by that.  He will probably kill all of them once he gets what he wants.

14.  Flocke lied to Claire because her name is on the wall (even if it’s crossed off) and Kate’s name is also on that wall.  Still think he’s a good guy because I sure don’t!

15.  How cool to see Patchy again.  He doesn’t seem to be nearly the bastard that he was on the island.  Keemy makes him look like Mr Rogers.  Did you see that Jin shoots him in the eye?

16.  I’m wondering if Sun’s head injury somehow allows her to straddle the two time lines without knowing it.  In the new time line she never learned English.

17.  The scene with Flocke and Widmore was excellent but left me wanting SO MUCH MORE!  Seeing these two power houses coming together was amazing.  I think that the point of Flocke coming himself was to distract Widmore so Sayid could swim up near the sub.

18.  Flocke needs someone to fly that plane so he will need to recruit Frank.  But it doesn’t seem like Frank has much for him to entice him with.

19. My biggest disappointment this week is that Jin and Sun are still apart.  Enough already!!!!

20.  Widmore knows exactly how to get Jin to cooperate with him – show him the baby pictures.  Smart move.  He plays on Jin’s heart strings to convince him to help keep Smokey on the island.

21.  I still can’t help but think that Jin understands English.  When Keemy tells him that he told Sun’s dad about them Jin sure seems to understand.

22.  I also don’t think that Widmore is on the island just to stop MIB.  At one point he wanted to be the man in charge and was pretty po’d that he had to leave.  I’m sure he wants to regain his position there.

23.  Sayid makes Jin free himself.  A common theme it seems – making someone trapped free themselves.

24.  Sun is preggo.  She can’t be very far along so if she dies the baby will die.  It’s not like she can deliver early and Jin raise her alone.  Jack will probably save her in the hospital or Ethan since he’s a baby doctor.

25.  Jack sure makes a big promise to Sun about Jin.  The writing thing could get pretty annoying but they have to be able to let her communicate.  But shouldn’t she write a bit smaller on that pad?

26.  YEAH for Desmond being back!  But BOO for what that means for Penny and little Charlie.  I don’t think that we have enough info yet to know what Widmore is going to use him for (obviously it’s to stop Smokey).  But next week is centered on him and they have always been great episodes.  MIB doesn’t like surprises but I bet he’s in for a real shocker when he finds out Desmond is there.

27.  One last thought – if next week’s previews are really scenes from next week then Jin and Sun are going to reunite.  But it’s impossible to tell because they were showing all sorts of old footage.
