Joyce ,'Never Leave Me'

Jin's Dad was a lox, according to the local translator.
?????
I admit, when Jin did that extra-long pause when asked about his dad, I went 'oh, god, another member of the Daddy Issues Island Club.' But then it turned out his father rocked! And Jin knew he rocked!

I didn't think that the discman crapping out was funny. I actually thought it was very sad.
Oh, I thought so too, especially coming on the heels of the very couply focus on Shannon/Sayid and Charlie/Babymama.

A-ha! The letterings on TV is now somewhat readable. The stuff we white-fonted before, tiggy? Looks like that's confirmed. It basically says;
"
Lucky winner
"
"Los Angeles, California"
Jin with sunglasses on ...
Oh my, yes.
I liked this episode a lot, and what I liked most about it were the tangled plots of knowledge-deficits. I like the ways that Jin and Sun are fumbling at each other, cluelessly, but in some version of good faith.
I'm a little weird on the whole 'No, I'll stand aside and watch one guy beat the other to a bloody pulp' at the climax, however. I can understand that there's a dramatic progression involved, but, I don't know as how it makes actual group-dynamics sense. Then again, I don't know why Jin, upon discovering the fire, didn't start yawping for help. Yawping in Korean would probably not get in the way of being understood to say, "Danger! Danger!"
thanks, Vonnie! how did i watch tv shows before the internet? there was probably so much that i missed!

Ha! So I guess Hurley's good for that $83,000 he owes Walt, then?
Also, if Jin really doesn't understand English, how the hell did he understand it when Sun said, "I was going to leave you" etc. in English??
Like Nora said, he didn't understand. He stopped because of the change in language and tone. Kind of a, "Whoa, what did she say? It sounded important." And I didn't really think about it, but Sun's pulling the same trick on Jin that everyone pulls on her. She's getting something out she needs to get out even though she knows--in the others' cases, thinks--the other person won't understand anyway.
Jin might have gone to a "oh, shit, Michael will blame me for this, too" place immediately upon seeing the fire, then burned his hands, and realized that would make him look even guiltier.
I'm very interested as to whether Jin saw Walt anywhere near the raft.
