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.
Theo, I think he might have. Why else would he help Michael after Michael beat his ass?
Why else would he help Michael after Michael beat his ass?
Because he wants off the island in the worst way?
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.
I didn't mind that at all. If he's going to local Korea-towns to do his errands English should only be a factor with the, likely bi-lingual, customs agents.
Did anybody notice that 'Hurley on T.V.' was waring the same clothes as 'Hurley on island'? Fashion coincidence? Also, I loved the discman montage too. I was just thinking to myself at that exact time "how long do those batteries last?".
My brother goes to Singapore on business all the time, and doesn't speak...jeez, what do they speak in Singapore?
BossDaddy probably has all kinds of contacts that work for him and if Jin not speaking English keeps him isolated and then he has to rely on BossDaddy's minions.
jeez, what do they speak in Singapore?
English? It was a colony for a long time.
