Well, he did want Sun to be his beard.
Zoe: Don't think it's a good spot, sir. She still has the advantage over us. Mal: Everyone always does. That's what makes us special.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I was positive the Matchmaker!Guy was going to be gay.
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This backstory was pretty and touching, but unilluminating.
Well, so was much of the episode. I'm probably overneeding something happening, but I'm beginning to sense the boredom inherent in being stranded on a deserted island.

No -- last night's episode drove me bonkers with the large amounts of Nothing Happening. About the only new thing we learned was that we got (a bit of) a look at the character of the Tail Section's tracker!guy.
We already knew Girlfight girl was a bitch who should be eaten by the invisasaur. We already knew that Sawyer has the BBoC factor, so his smoulder with Girlfight girl-who-should-die (heh -- I feel like Hellish!) wasn't particularly surprising. We knew Jin could fish like a motherfucker. We knew that Kate had the hots for Sawyer. Michael ran off to find Walt....and then came back empty-handed, so nothing happened there.
I guess the other new thing was that we saw feet and legs of people we're supposed to assume are The Others, with a tell-tale teddy bear. But we already knew The Others existed, and we already knew they seem to be collecting kids.
I just want something to happen, damn it.
