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.

Seriously? Hurley was on Korean TV (so that's what that question was about)?

I have no Tivo and I don't tape, somebody please supply an image of this! Please!

HOLY COW, that is cool. I totally missed that! (obviously) Dammit. Now I wish I'd taped. If anyone sees any screencaps around drop a hint in thread, eh?

I liked that. Jin's story was somewhat predictable, but DDK acted the hell out of his scenes and made me really feel for him. And that fight scene on the beach was *intense*, with the escalating music, the gibberish speech from Jin POV, and Sun finally breaking down, screaming in English.

The storm-warning inconveniently passed by during a big chunk of Korean dialog, obscuring the subtitles. Yeesh. If I didn't speak Korean, I'd have been highly annoyed.

The actor who played Sun's father? Sucked. The one who played Jin's dad was lovely. I'm still having major issues with Jin's overbearing attitude toward his wife, but this episode went a long way to humanize his character. Even though eventual reconciliation between them would be nice, I loved Sun shedding that wrap as a quiet declaration of freedom. Yunjin Kim rocked in this episode.

Sawyer was a jackhole again! Thank God.

oooh! Vonnie? can you read Korean? cause i'd love to know what was on the tv when Hurley appeared. i have a feeling it's a clue.

Nora, numerocinco on eljay does caps and will probably have it up by tomorrow. i will be on the lookout. :)

Josh Holloway would make a perfect Jack Horner.

And DM could be Boy Blue.

Ha! Oh my God, you guys are so right.

Dude. Hurley on Korean TV. WTF? Can't wait till next week to find out!

And I told you guys Walt liked it on the island, or else he would have wished them off by now!

Right on. Like Jack's second flashback story, it was mostly stuff we'd inferred already (although we thought he was actually a stone-cold killer rather than a beater-upper), but seeing the scenes really added another layer.

Also, when Jin said, "It's too late," I yelled, "What the fuck? Did you learn nothing from your flashback?"

What Vonnie said.

Jin's Dad was a lox, according to the local translator.

What Vonnie said.

That's my line, you goon.

The letters on TV were unfortunately too far and blurry for me to read, even with pause function on my TiVo. There was a news-type narration on TV though--Hurley was definitely Hurley, and not playing a role on a TV show or some such. The narration on TV kind of weaved in and out behind the ongoing conversation in the foreground, making it difficult for me to understand. The little bits I caught: "Hugo Reyes," "Los Angeles," "manager," "... been living an ordinary life so far," "everything will change, as if in a dream". And I am really not sure about this one because the pronunciation was a bit iffy, but I think I heard the word (will white-font it as it may be a spoiler for next week if true) lottery. Innnnteresting.

I bet someone at TwoP already has a more complete translation of the footage though.

Vonnie! thank you! hmmm...guess i'll have to apologize to a 'lage poster. i was poo poo-ing her theory about the lottery winning. oh well...not the first time i've been wrong. heh.
