Do we need a Rosencrantz & Guildenstern ep?
Yes. And more men washing their own damned clothes.
That would be part of it.
Especially if the men were competent at it. Almost every man ever shown in a commercial doing laundry is an incompetent.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm getting a little tired of the "women doing laundry" scenes, and have decided to believe that they are only washing their OWN clothes, and the men are just filthy.
We've seen Locke washing his clothes. Well, washing the blood out of his clothes anyway.
I was positive the Matchmaker!Guy was going to be gay.
It was an enjoyable episode even with the heavy flashbacks. Also, I like tousled sweaty Jim more than uniform hat wearing Jin.

He turns to look at the girl in orange and bumps into Sun.
I totally missed that the first girl he passed was wearing orange--good catch! Loved their first reaction to each other (and, yes, tousled Jin is of the Total Hawt).
And I called Sun's ring being in the bottle burial ground when I saw my cable's description of the ep ("Sun looks for her lost wedding ring") before the ep even started. Go me! All those recaps from last week (TWoP, TV Guide) that called her missing ring a continuity error now have to eat crow.
As is usual with the Korean flashbacks, I loved this ep.

Me three. I blame The Wedding Banquet.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Yeah, as soon as Sun's wedding ring was missing, I thought "It's buried with the bottle".
I enjoyed the episode, and didn't mind the flashbacks themselves, but I'm getting tired of the whole flashback interspersed with real-time motif. We know who these characters are and how they ended up on the plane. I don't feel like we need anymore backstory. Of course, the flashbacks help J.J. and Co. not have to advance the island plot as quickly, so I doubt we're going to lose them.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Well, now they can start doing flashbacks for Echo, and girlfight girl, and Bernard and Rose...
I trying to think of what last night's flashbacks added to the story. We already knew Jin was poor, that his father was a fisherman, and that Jin and Sun love each other very much. We do learn how the rich girl met the poor boy, but does it matter to the story?

We didn't learn anything new, but I thought these were much better integrated than the other flashbacks this season. I didn't feel the same heavy-handed "DO YOU SENSE A THEME????"-ness that, say, Hurley's flashback did -- it felt very natural to see the beginning of Sun & Jin interspersed with the present-day story.
