The Glass Ballerina (S:3,E:02)
LOST Thoughts:
0) So we see the Glass Ballerina falling to the floor, and Sun (as a child) runs out of the room. We learn that Sun learned to lie early on in her life.
1) So...is it Jin's Twins that are working again...or is it Jae's child that Sun's carrying? Morning sickness is usually through the first trimester. 69 days, and she's still getting morning sickness. Judging by the fact that she's only recently becoming sick makes me think that it's Jin's kid. But, then again...she could have been getting morning sickness in the previous two seasons...we just weren't privy to that information. So...it could be Jae's kid. But, we get a slight hint that there wasn't any sex involved (at least on that occasion in the episode...there could have been other occasions). Sun says that she "can't". I'm assuming the "can't" refers to sex. This is still somewhat unsolved.
2) So Jin understands some English, and he knew that Sun lied. But, about what...Sayid's plans, or the affair?
3) Sun's father tells Jin that Jin can't quit. I'm guessing that's why the guy was following Sun and Jin in the airport. He (the white dude in the bathroom after the drink spilled on Jin) worked for Sun's father. His final message to Jin in Korean (subtitled in English) "Yes. I know you're planning to run away. But you're going to take that watch to Mr. Paik's friend in California. You do anything else, anything. You will lose her. You are not free. You never have been, and you never will be."
4) Jae's death...was it suicide, or murder? He was clutching the pearls...making it look like a suicide. But, could Sun's father have sent someone to finish the job, knowing that Jin is weak in the killing aspect. We've already seen Jin's inability to kill in "In Translation", even at the orders of Mr. Paik (Sun's father). I do have to say I was impressed with Jin's skills with locking and loading a gun. Wasn't expecting that.
5) We see Alex again. If the Others are "good people" why is Alex rebelling? We find out that Karl was not planted by the Others. So who are Karl's parents? He seems about as young as Alex. His parents certainly can't be two of the Others...can they? Would they subject their own children to that treatment?
6) Sawyer and Kate work in a rock quarry type setting. I noticed that one of the guys was using a ground-pounding tool, used to smooth a road out after the asphault is poured on the ground. Are they building a runway?
7) Awwww...how cute...Sawyer and Kate finally kissed. Wait...they kissed before...in season one. Except, he bribed her into that. So...Sawyer is becoming a very likeable character. But, my question is...was he kissing her because he was actually turned on...or did he do it to start the fight so he could size up the Others? As a Con Man, getting a read on someone is probably the most critical success factor. Sawyer has been a Con Man for a long time...so I'm assuming he's very good at getting reads. We saw this later in his conversation with Kate (which Benry witnessed on the big screen)...he had reads on everyone there, even mentioning that Juliette would have no problem killing kate. He said that he was only really concerned about two of the guys...and possibly a third one that may have some martial arts skills.
8) (Crediting a poster by the screen name of qcotms) The theory on the Others being children during the days of the Dharma projects on the island, and being tested...and the fact that they have spent their whole lives on the island (hence their infatuation with testing other children), may have been on the money. The other similar theory is that they were the children of the original Dharma scientists...who ended up getting the sickness and died off (the kids may have even killed them). These children raised themselves on the island, and may have been immune to the sickness. This would explain the whole thing about the good/bad people. They may have been on their own as kids, so they still act like kids. My only problem with that is...Dharma started in the 70s...Benry seems too old to be one of their kids.
9) More on the contact the Others have with the rest of the world. Benry knew about Bush, Jr., and the Red Sox winning the World Series. That's significant because of Christian Shepherd's line about something being so rare that it will happen when the Red Sox win the World Series (a big part of the whole "FATE" thing in LOST).
10) Speaking of the Others...Colleen and Juliette traded some nasty looks when Colleen interrupted the conversation between Benry and Juliette. Colleen was the one that spoke of the "Iraqi" (Sayid) and the decoy village. She was also shot by Sun on the boat, which could bring about an "eye for an eye" situation...as the Others do think like kids...and might take a LOSTie life.
11) How did they NOT know about Desmond's boat? That was a bit of a surprise, since the Others seem to know everything. Well...they have the boat now. Should be interesting to see how they utilize it (or keep it captive).
12) In the end, after Benry (a.k.a. Benjamin Linus) gives Jack the update about the outside world, he promises Jack that he'll send him home, if he cooperates. Jack doesn't believe him, until he sees the video of the World Series. Then the look on his face changed.
13) Another poster, beclost, found this gem:
"Here is the link to the Hanso Adoptions website which comes up on Google when you search Benjamin Linushttp://www.hansoadoptions.orgOk I have been looking through the site, and there are some weird things.Check out how the International Adoptions child looks like Walt, but when you look at where his picture is under Spanish, Nuevas oportunidades de la investigación, his picture becomes a big RED N???Also, throughout the different links and in different langauges, every once in a while there is a letter in RED? so far I have found x, o, and e in red.Also, at the very bottom of hte page, beside the copyright, there is a hidden link to the symbol page of Hanso Adoptions."
Some follow ups to that link from other posters:
"Clicking on the "client" link at the bottom takes you to the website for a fake lawyer named Mack Thompson who's sued the Hanso Foundation for its purchase of Oceanic Aire. "
"Actually, it says that he sued Hanso because Oceanic Flight 815 was the first jet liner utilizing a test version of the Artificial Intelligence Piloting System (AIPS) supplied by The hanso Foundation. "
ENJOY!!!
