Lost Season Three, Ep. #2: Yawn…

Last night’s episode of Lost wasn’t that bad, I guess. In case you missed it (and you want to know), it basically involved a Swayer-Kate storyline about a kiss and an attempted escape and a Jin-Sun storyline that involved a lot of flashbacks to Korea.

Basically, Jin did have an affair with Jae, her English tutor. Sun’s father discovers this band sends Jin to go to kill him over some supposedly uncollected debts. Jin cannot kill him and gets him to promise to leave the country. But, as Jin goes to leave Jae comes crashing down onto his car- did he jump or was he pushed? He’s holding a set of pearls that he tried to give to Sun earlier. I can’t remember if she accepted them or not. If she did, then presumably she pushed him. If she didn’t then he jumped, heartbroken. In the “present” Jin, Sun, and Sayid try to ambush the others at the dock only to have the sailboat (“The Elizabeth”) taken by a squad of others. Sun shoots one of the others in the stomach in the course of this.


Sawyer and Kate are sent to break up rocks… No really, to break up rocks… Sawyer kisses Kate and tries to escape. He almost gets away, but doesn’t. I think the important thing in his mind is that he got to kiss Kate. In the last scene, “Henry” (“Ben”) sits down to speak to Jack. He tells him his name and that he’s lived here all his life. There seems to be a real naivety in Ben that I can’t quite sort out…

So, what’s the third season going to be like? The tough thing is that with the suspense of the first two seasons is going to be really hard to top, or even equal…

    "FYI-Sun did not accept the pearls, in my recollection. I think that was about the time that her father arrived at the room and found his daughter cheatin'.

    In addition, the first thought that came to my mind in regard to Jae landing on the car is that there was someone else there in the room when Jin threatened to kill him (perhaps there for the same reason or possibly lurking in the shadows to make sure Jin didn't chicken out on the mission of loyalty to dad-in-law). Therefore, the lurker pushed Jae out the window. ?????????"
