Jin with sunglasses on ...
Oh my, yes.
Wash: Psychic, though? That sounds like something out of science fiction. Zoe: We live in a space ship, dear. Wash: So?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
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!"

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The letterings on TV is now somewhat readable.
Ha! So I guess Hurley's good for that $83,000 he owes Walt, then?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
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.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
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.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Theo, I think he might have. Why else would he help Michael after Michael beat his ass?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Why else would he help Michael after Michael beat his ass?
Because he wants off the island in the worst way?

(laughing)
well, there's that too.

The one plot point that still doesn't work for me is that if Jin's being sent on errands to Sydney and LA, he should speak better English. Surely BossDaddy has the money to pay for lessons.
