The real question...

What is up with Juliet blinking so often? Every episode, every scene she is in. Damn, it's annoying.

It could be a drinking game, but then everyone would probably be dead.

Maybe Dharma never got around to making Visene.

Maybe she's blinking in morse code. :D Another clue for you all.

Interesting yes? But I don't think it's the gateway to the island. The submarine was able to traverse whatever links the island to the outside world and I think a sub would have a hard time navigating those hills. Also, Michael sailed away from the island on a boat. Also the helicopters seemed to come in from the sea.

No, I think this "door" is an access-way to something else. (Cue Twilight Zone music.)

2. Everyone from the flight manifest gets a headstone (possibly paid for by Oceanic) with a date of death that matched the day of the crash.
3. The Oceanic 6, which includes Jin, is discovered.
4. Jin dies at some point after the Oceanic 6 is revealed to the world.

This theory would obviously expect one to believe that Sun simply hadn't gotten around to changing or removing the old headstone, but it would explain why the earlier spoilers had Jin listed as one of the O6. And it would make the argument of an 11 month pregnancy moot.

Heck, even if Jin isn't one of the O6 and is alive on the island, point 2 would explain the tombstone date as long as the world was told that Jin was one of the 2 to die after the crash. And would still negate any speculation the world may have about Sun's date of conception.

If both of these were true then the tombstone would also have 9/22/2004 as Sun's date of death, which it clearly did not.

This was a few pages back but...for those mentioning the doctor & nurse exchanging odd looks. I really don't think there is anything to this. They both obviously know who she is and they know her husband died in the crash. So, when she starts calling out to him they exchange looks and play along like they are going to try to contact him. I don't think there is any more to it.

BTW, was this before or after Hurley is in the mental hospital?

B.A. 03-16-08 03:38 PM

Finally saw the ep - was that the first flashback we have seen involving a survivor since last season?

As someone who has been clamoring for the death of more characters, I didn't really care for the supposed death of Jin.

I liked how they finally introduce the captain and, low and behold, he does a very rare thing and is rather forthcoming w/ info.

Beehut 03-16-08 04:59 PM

I'm just going to assume that Michael gets discovered on the freighter and killed. Ben assumes the identity of the Grantham guy that is shown in the obituary. The guy obviously had no friends, family, etc. to come see him at the funeral, so that would be the identity you'd want to assume - no one to disprove you. Ben obviously knew everything about all the passengers anyway, so he'd pick the least likely to be questioned.

dsa_shea 03-16-08 06:10 PM

I watched Through the Looking Glass again today and noticed that the funeral parlor is in a predominantly black neighborhood. I don't know if this is significant but I think it might rule out Ben.

It might also rule out anybody with means paying for the funeral if the producers/writers were using black as a shorthand for poor. Of course, it means somebody is paying for the funeral. Walt? Ben's daughter?

It does make it seem unlikely that whoever it is was one of the six, though. Somebody would turn up for that sort of funeral.

does anybody know if season 5 will be airing this fall or next year?

The plan was for the final 3 seasons to all air starting mid-season with no breaks. I don't see any reason why that plan would've changed for next year.

February 2009.

redrum 03-16-08 09:57 PM

so it won't be back till feb 09?

Not after the conclusion of this season. I think we're looking at one more, then a break, then a few more.

redrum 03-16-08 10:44 PM

ya imdb says last episode is may 22nd, which will make the total 13.

DthRdrX 03-16-08 10:57 PM

And they also recently stated they are writing the final two episodes of this season as if they were the 2 hour finale, just airing them a week apart. Grey's Anatomy will be getting the one night 2 hour finale instead.

Your question was S5. This is season four.

S5 = Feb. 2009

S6 = Feb. 2010.

My bad. You're right.

Fact: Normal human gestation is approximately 9 months or 37-38 weeks.

You guys forget the baby was not due to be born, necessarily. Sun does not seemed prepared for it to be born and the doctor almost says he has to perform a C-section.

Great episode... Loved it...

Oh, it was nice to see Jaleel White back on TV... Man I missed that guy

obviously this was from a few pages ago, but i can't miss an opportunity for a snarky comment...

So you thought the biggest clue to the flashback was when they actually revealed that it was a flashback? good work!

hardercore 03-17-08 02:18 PM

The biggest clues that Jin's was a flashback were:

The hair
The nature/demeanour/rudeness/death threats
The cellphone
The "year of the dragon" line (either 2000, or 2012 which both wouldn't have fit in with Sun's pregnancy or the crash/rescue)
The running of errands for Mr. Paik, and
The "I've only been married for 2 months" line
The final scene, where Jin was (?) underneath the ground.

Of course, I didn't realise any of this until after the episode had finished, but there were heaps of clues when you re-watch it a second time. The Season 3 Finale did a much better job hiding it's big narrative blindsight.
