This episode was more island centric, which pleases me. I would love to see even less past history. The minutes devoted to backstory were still greater than needed.

The discman end was funny.
I'm wondering if Jin didn't say anything because he saw Walt starting the fire. (I'm assuming Walt physically started and didn't wish it to happen).
I've turned all fangurl over Shannon and Sayid and trust me I really don't want to be this way, but !!! over them at the end.
Earlier this week I was thinking about Shannon and Pleasantville, how what's her name played by Reese Witherspoon and such a bad reputation and was kind of spoiled and in Pleasantville she got a second chance. Shannon's kind of like that. The more she's on the island (and around Sayid) the more competent she becomes and less Snickerbitch (at least to me). I like this new start she's getting.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
The shot of Sun letting the wind carry her wrap away was absolutely gorgeous.
On another note, if they ever do a movie version of the "Fables" comic (and I hope they never do), Josh Holloway would make a perfect Jack Horner.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Dying of laughter over the discman running out of juice during the closing montage.
Loved that!

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
The discman was great. Jin does have some english! Sun in the bikini at the end. Locke knows evereything.
Next week looks intense.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I loved the that the montage ballad crapped out.

My daughter just a couple minutes before that asked why they hadn't run out of batteries yet! Guess they finally have.

I wonder what's up with Hurley -- did it look like there were military men around him? Or maybe police?
t blinks wha.. what? I must have missed something. Can someone catch me up?
I groaned at the discman montage and then applauded the batteries running out. That made resurrectivng that particular cliche totally worthwhile.
I wonder if Jin is going to start over without Sun, and then try to start over with her.
Tom mentioned that he can't see the parallels between Asshole Jin on the island and the warm, relaxed Jin-with-his-not!dead-dad just days or weeks before the crash. I am inclined to agree. But it didn't bug me as much.
- Loved* the part where everything was gibberish to Jin. I love the work that the 2 actors playing Sun and Jin do, always, especially together.
Walt creeps me out more than Locke, and possibly more than flesh eating bacteria.
And, shut up Jack. That's why!

When Jin went to the Enviornmental Minister (or whoever) the first time, his daughter was watching tv and Hurley was on it. It was in the background and kind of hard to see.
