The "full" newspaper clipping is merely a "best guess", it's never been officially released or leaked in full.

However, her reaction was a bit interesting, like she wouldn't be completely surprised if it WAS him (i.e., he's not really dead).


I don't know. He stopped and watched her intently. Didn't seem random to me.

In an episode clearly designed just to fuck with the viewer, I have little doubt that guy was just part of the process.

Sun doesn't get pregnant until after a month on the island...how does she explain that to the outside world if Jin died in the crash? Does she say that Hurley is the father hehe?

If you walked by a room and saw a random woman pushing a baby out, wouldn't you stop for a second and take a peek? Don't think it's of any consequence to the story, just a red herring moment.

I know the Jin tombstone reads the date of the crash, but is it not possible that Jin's dead body is in fact the last member of the Oceanic Six, but in order to jive with the cover story, they had to change his date of death or else risk everyone knowing what actually went down.

Something happens to Jin shortly before they actually get off the island and Sun refuses to go without bringing his body...doesn't seem too far fetched for me. I feel the way the last scene played out, that couldn't be just a 'marker'...he had to be buried there...or else it's just a false 'Lost' moment that will be used for some trick reveal later down the line...

Either way, manipulations aside, this was a pretty kick ass episode that really got me in the end emotionally.

treszoks 03-14-08 08:14 AM

Assuming Jin is the last of the six, I think that's got to be it. Something happens and Jin is killed but they bring the body and say he died in the crash.

So I suppose if you were walking by a room and a screaming woman was giving birth with the door wide open, and she was looking at you yelling someone else's name, you would just keep on walking by, like it was a potted plant?

Chooch 03-14-08 08:38 AM

I can't imagine the other survivors would be happy that Jin's body took up a space that a live survivor could have used, unless of course he died on the boat.

Michael Corvin 03-14-08 08:42 AM

Not to mention the Oceanic 6 alludes to survivors, right? Out of all the passengers on the plane, why bring back one dead guy?

I think he's still alive and well on the island. Something may still happen that pushes them apart. He still hasn't found out the reason why he is a contract killer... i.e. Sun's fault.

cracksky 03-14-08 08:56 AM

The cover-up is a massive lie that includes 324 corpses and a plane at the bottom of the ocean. The story is that there were 8 survivors of the crash then 2 of them died soon thereafter thus creating the Oceanic 6. They either provided another corpse that looked like Jin for transport or they 'buried' him on the island and asked that only a marker be placed in Korea.

Kind of weird that Radzinsky only left behind a blood stain in the hatch, and now Desmond's new room has one too. Could this have something to do with Rousseau's crew dying off?

This show is so awesome.

That's funny about Jin not being one of the 6 after last week's thread. I'm not going out and intentionally reading spoilers. I'll read the episode info, and stuff ABC puts out, but I would have bet money that if Sun went, Jin would have too. I'm kind of hoping it's someone else besides Aaron. If Michael is going by a different name, I'm thinking he's not one of the 6.
And, I hope Juliet stays alive as long as possible.


Not me. I can't stand that lip quiver that makes it seem like she is about to break character and laugh. It's so distracting to me that I get away from the show.

Heat 03-14-08 09:13 AM

Was Sun’s affair with Michael? And was the baby actually Jin’s? I was watching on an older TV, couldn’t quite tell if the child was 100% Korean…

Michael Corvin 03-14-08 09:15 AM

The child look 100% Koren on the HD feed. :lol:

Was that was blatantly stated on the show? My memory must be shot.

If that is true, then Jin is one of the 8. We are still missing one of the 6 and another dead one to round out the 8.

O6
1.Jack
2. Kate
3. Hurley
4. Sayid
5. Sun
6. ?

7. Jin
8. ?

Michael and Walt could fit into each category. The ever popular Michael being in the coffin could fit(although Jack seemed surprised by the obit). That leaves Walt as a survivor.

Jin's not dead.

DVD Josh 03-14-08 09:22 AM

Micheal, why are you trying to figure out the 8? It's a made up number for the O6's lie.

Not only that, the enhanced episode CLEARLY said the number 8 had no relevance.

But this is Lost ... sometimes these little "events" have more to them than just a guy walking by the door. If someone could confirm with a screen cap, I would appreciate it. Thanks

Achau, I'm not meaning this as condescending to you, but just a general statement, so please don't take it as anything more. :D :D :D

It's a little old to keep hearing "but this is LOST" as a fall-back position to any theory. Especially in this case, when the WHOLE episode was about misdirection.

Just going with the flow of the conversation. I don't think Jin's dead at all. I think something happens between him and Sun to make them split. She leaves the island and he stays.

That's what I'm guessing as well. EVERY person who "died" in the crash is going to have a tombstone. What better way to "talk" with that person than showing up at said tombstone?

Of course the wrinkle here is that, IIRC, Hurley said something like, "should we go see him?" I'm not sure I'd use those words if I knew the guy wasn't actually dead.

rfduncan 03-14-08 09:44 AM

That Jin is alive on the island, and they split makes sense to a degree. Jin wants to stay (avoiding returning to Paik, being a contract killer and, well, STERILITY), but Sun cannot because she'd lose the baby. Why Sun can't return to the island (or Jack for that matter) remains a mystery to still be resolved.

I do wonder if Jin is not dead, but if Paik and Widmore are connected in some way, and Jin has to be presumed dead for his own protection.

Shinobi 03-14-08 09:49 AM

Or, Jin is alive and off the island, but his death was faked and he's now working undercover for Ben. As with Sayid, Jin has some deadly skills that Ben could put to good use against his enemies. I can easily see Jin becoming an assassin for Ben.

All six will have there reasons for wanting to go back.

Jin still being there will be Sun's reason. IMO, he is still alive and on the Island.


And after next week, that month break is going suck!
