Ji Yeon (S4:E7)
Day after day, day after day,
We stuck, nor breath nor motion;
As idle as a painted ship
Upon a painted ocean.
Water, water, everywhere,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, everywhere,
Nor any drop to drink.
(from The Rime of the Ancient Mariner)
Definitely a better episode than last week. But…but…Jin dies?!?!?!? WTF!!! His English was getting so good. I did like the use of flashbacks and flashforwards as a means to throw us off from the end of the episode.
1) So we get the final two of the Oceanic 6. Or do we? Jack (in the courtroom in “Eggtown”) said that there were 8 survivors of the crash. Could Jin, now that we know he’s in the “next life”, be one of the two that don’t make up the Oceanic 6? But what was the deal with Hurley asking if anyone else is coming? I’m starting to get this strange feeling…and I could be way off…that everyone knows, just as well as Sayid, that Ben is still lurking around.
2) What’s with Regina reading a book upside down? Last week, on Lostpedia, someone mentioned that the episode “The Other Woman” reminded them of “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” (click here to see the poem, or click here to see the Wikipedia page). Vozzek69 from DarkUFO mentioned that this episode resembled the poem. Which I agree a little more with (I chose not to mention the poem in last week’s notes). The poem is about a mariner who goes on a voyage at sea and the mishaps, and at one point the despair when they are stuck. It is eerily reminiscent of what Regina does when she binds herself in chains and jumps off the boat (which may or may not be moving) or the gruesome bloodstain on the wall (which was also reminiscent of Radzinsky’s blood in the hatch). ***BTW…Kudos to Vozzek69 from DarkUFO. While I don’t like everything he puts into his analysis, there are some times where he comes up with some thoughts that are great.***
3) The book Regina was reading upside down is titled “The Survivors of the Chancellor”. Credit a poster on Lostpedia for this description of the book “…a novel by Jules Verne about the last voyage of the British ship Chancellor. In the novel, at the beginning of its voyage, the Chancellor carried eight passengers and twenty crew members. By the end, only eleven people (five passengers and six crew) remained alive.”
4) So Captain Gault (the one they’re not supposed to trust) spills the beans (not just Lima Beans) to Sayid and Desmond (or so we are led to think). Could Ben really be capable of faking the crash or gathering the dead bodies? I mean…he has gassed a lot of people, but who knows. The black box should be interesting. But, it just seems a bit much to me that they even have the black box from that trench in the ocean.
5) Meet Kevin Johnson. He’s not just a janitor. He’s Michael. Any surprise? No, but it was a cool scene no matter how much one anticipated it. Did Desmond and Sayid do a good enough job of pretending they don’t know him?
6) Juliet doesn’t know who she’s messing with. Sun is the one that poisoned Michael’s water to keep Jin from going on the boat in season one. Juliet better think twice before airing Sun’s dirty laundry. However, this exchange gave us the scene with Bernard and Jin on the boat together, where they have the marriage conversation. I loved the part where Bernard realized what he’d just interrupted. That kind of scene never gets old.
7) Did anyone notice Nikki’s bad acting in her death scene in the show ‘Expose’ which was on TV in the background in Sun’s flashforward?
8) This is the second time that someone has referred to a dead person in a flashforward. First there was Jack asking his “colleague” to bring his father down from his office to see who’s more wasted. Now there was Sun calling for Jin while in labor.
9) On Jin’s Tombstone, it says Sept 22, 2004. The day of the plane crash. So maybe, Jin isn’t even one of the 8. In fact, I’m wondering if Jin’s death might even be a ruse and he’s still on the island. Sun says that she misses him, at the grave site. Could Jin still be alive? Then again, why would Hurley show up to see a grave. There is a possibility of an interesting spin here.
10) Again…going to directly quote Vozzek69’s stuff here, because this theory was definitely one worth mentioning. Click the link and read the part titled “Course Correction, Jake Gyllenhaal, and my own Wild Conjecture”
