Yeah,

that was weird. Jin buying that Panda and all and then losing it and I was thinking there was some story about needing a Panda for the baby to be born or something weird, but I think that Panda's are just good luck for expectant mothers in Korea or something because that guy at the toy store is all like, oh, are you going to a maternity ward??? Anyone know what associations pandas have in Korea? And then after all that its for some exec. Crazy.
I tend to agree with above that for some reason there is a ruse going on and Jin might be still alive on the island, maybe hanging out with Locke or trying to esape his life as a henchman until the dust settles...
