Episode 610: The Package

I went to go check the cast list when I had a free minute today and I discovered that it will not posted before Friday. AHHHH this is killing me. Like, literally.

Okay, on to the Lost blog:

SPOILER ALERT http://abc.go.com/watch/lost/93372 SPOLIER ALERT

I decided to analyze this episode by characters because a lot happened character wise and plot wise, so it's good to take a look at both at once.

Sun and Jin (flash-sideways): They're not married! Oh no! They are, however, really cute lovers who have been discovered by Mr. Paik, Sun's father. Jin was bringing the payment to Keamy to kill him! Wow, that' pretty heavy. Anyway, it just shows that Jin and Sun have still always meant to be together, even if Jacob had never touched them. The bad news is, Sun has been shot during Jin's tangle with Mikhail (he got shot in the eye!) and she was pregnant! Ji-Yeon! No! I'm guessing there's another Jack flash-sideways coming at us soon, and maybe someone named Sun is his patient?

Sun and Jin (on island): They are married! And still looking for each other. It has officially been roughly two seasons (if you combine the end of season 4 with this season and all of season 5) and three years (their time) that Sun and Jin have been apart. I will not stand for it any longer. They must be back together! And now it seems like it's never going to happen because Jin is now on Hydra Island with Widmore, Zoe (who looks a lot like Sarah Palin), Desmond (he's back!), and Co. They're looking for Jin's help with a map he signed off on (when he lived with the DHARMA INITIATIVE in the 70s) of electromagnetic energy. I think that is why Desmond is here. But why are they studying this? Could it have to do with vanquishing a certain smoke monster? I think one of the best moments of this episode was when Jin saw the pictures of his daughter for the first time. That was an absolutely beautiful moment for Jin, one I don't think we have necessarily seen before.

Meanwhile, Sun is confronted by Not-Locke who says that he has Jin (little does he know Jin was taken by Widmore's people while Locke was out on his little hike) and he will reunite them. Sun, who doesn't care about the candidates or destiny but still does not trust Not-Locke (yay!) runs away, hitting her head on a low hanging branch. She goes unconscious and wakes up not knowing how to speak english! I think this is a fantastic foil to the first-third seasons where only Sun could speak english, but now Jin can too. Wicked cute.

Jack: Jack has become the new Locke basically and has accepted the terms of destiny. He is now the leader of the "good camp" I think is fair to say and I like to see it. Also, that scene with he and Sun was adorable. Plus, we got to see Jack in doctor mode again.

Not-Locke/Widmore: It's war. But I don't think this war in good vs. evil. It's something different. I still can't believe Widmore is on Jacob's side. He's trying to exploit the island and yet he wants to keep Not-Locke (Smokey, Man In Black, whatever) on the island. Hmmm...

Kate: Apparently indespensible for the time being according to Not-Locke as he tells Claire. He only needs her to get Sun, Jack, and Hurley (the remaining candidates) to their camp and then after that "whatever happens, happens". Wow, Not-Locke. Really?

Sayid: Still INFECTED. Only now we have heard what the symptoms are. He can't feel anything. It seems as though Sayid is only a shell of what he once was. I don't like it. Especially now that he's Not-Locke's little spy bitch.

Richard: I like this new redeemed Richard. Thank you Hurley. Richard is large and in charge now and is completely gung-ho for keeping Not-Locke on the island. I absolutely loved Sun's blow up at him though. That is going down in Lost history.

Desmond: He's back! But where's Penny? Where's Charlie? What is his purpose? What is your plan Widmore!?

We'll find out next week!

Namaste!
