Ya, I agree with everyone above me...it was ok..not the best epi, and I agree with Alex, 6/10. Here's my $.02 on the epi...
Starting off the Jin and Sun in the doctor's office, and having the doc tell Sun she cannot have kids. First, how devastating that would be to any woman. Second, what a complete jerk Jin was for thinking and believeing that Sun knew that before they got married. Makes me think that Jin had alterior motives himself when he married Sun. Certainly doesn't seem like he married her because he loved her. I had zero sympathy for Jin at that point..my heart went out to Sun.
Sayid is certainly very very bitter, but I was amazed at how she said he didn't blame Ana for Shannon's death ('cuz I sure do), but that he blames the Others..and he is no doubt out for revenge now. I cannot wait to see another Sayid epi....I just want to see the guy lose it!! lol
There were a few funny moments, and some really excellent quotes. One being when Ana said to Sayid "Jack and Locke are a little too busy worrying about Locke and Jack". That was just great...I loved it! Next funny quote was when Sayid, Charlie and Ana were walking through the jungle, and Charlie says to Ana "You looking at me bum?"....that was hilarious!!!! But it was nice to see Charlie doing something for a change besides feeling sorry for himself. Another hilarious part was, after Charlie made the 'bum' comment, and the gun was brought out, he went to hand it over to Ana, then psyched her out and handed to to Sayid with a smirk on his face!!! Right on Cha!!! That was sooo excellent!
I did have a hard time understanding though, how Ana seemed to so easily get Henry to give her a map of where the balloon was. Seems to me, Henry showed more fear from Eko than Ana, and he never gave into Eko, but he gives in for Ana...??? First clue this guy is no doubt probably an Other.
I liked that Kate and Sun were able to connect as two women. I found it interesting when Kate mentioned that she has taken a pregnancy test before, with a far away look in her eyes. That alone opened up a new story line for her back story.
Now, with regards to this pregnancy test, remember Jack did say in the first week you can get false positives. So, there is a chance that is it a false positive, if Jin and Sun had sex sometime after Sun was kidnapped and dragged into the jungle. Frankly, I don't see it though. Which of course, leaves me to question if she isn't a few months along, which I believe there's more to the story with her English teacher than what we saw. My first instinct when the pregnancy question came up was the teacher. So, if in fact Sun is pregnant, and it is in fact the English teacher's baby, then physically, you would be able to tell Sun is pregnant, because she would be at least 3 months pregnant by now.
Remember Sun's English teacher mentioning that he too moved to America for a woman...I wonder who that is. Possibly, could it have a tie to someone on the island??
Another funny quote from Ana...."People don't like me."....No s*** sherlock...what was your first clue??!!!! What a doffus!!
So, back to Sun. I think maybe she's not sure who the father is...Jin or her English teacher. The look on her face was changing between confusion, fear, and joy. So, did something else happen to her in the jungle that no one is aware of, did the Other's get to her and do something to her...?? Immaculate conception...I'm not a believer in that one. Certainly, we are left hanging with the true identity of the father.
I was touched when Sun said I love you to Jin. That was something we've never heard her say to him before.
And alas, the hatch and the prisioner situation. Jack and Locke are certainly vyeing for that top dictator spot, aren't they? Those two are butting heads more than mountain sheep in heat!! I absolutly love the way Henry planted seeds of doubt and further mistrust among them. My opinion, yes I think he's an Other. But I think he's an outcast Other, for whatever reason, he's been 'banished' from the group, and left to fend on his own. Maybe he wanted out of the group or something because he didn't believe in what they were doing. I seriously do not buy the story he's telling about crashing onto the island in a balloon. Even though we see in the previews for 2.17, they find a balloon in the tree top...I still don't buy it.
Either way, Henry is stirring the pot. And 2.17 looks just awesome...Lockdown at the hatch..I cannot wait!!!
So, as usual, we have more questions...but that's why we're still all here, right?!!! lol
