Jin-Soo Kwon

Jin-Soo Kwon (Revised Romanization of Korean (RR): Gwon Jin-su, McCune-Reischauer (MR): Kwo(n Chin-su) is one of the middle section survivors of Oceanic Flight 815. Jin was born into a poor upbringing with his fisherman father which he has always been ashamed of. After meeting and in order to marry Sun, the love of his life, he was forced into working into his father-in-law's mafia-type business in which he takes part in horrid tasks. This has made him almost scared of what he is capable of. Due to this, he was over-controlling of Sun in their late-marriage stage. Jin is the only survivor to not speak the native language within the group - English. This has caused a constant language barrier but after Sun revealed she spoke English to the group, this helped him overcome this struggle and has managed to pick up disconnected words and phrases.

Wasn't the flashfoward boring besides the beginning and end of it? I think quite a bit happend but I really was annoying with the Flashfoward. The end of course was good.
it's a matter of perception.
I liked this episode better than confirmed dead.
We understand (sortof) a little more of who/what Ben is about and I like the idea of Sayyid working for him and becoming an assassin.

I was just having a very unheated very minor debate to allow you to personally decide if you'd like to go through a window of deciding if you want to rethink the episode again and if it is one of the best LOST episodes ever.

But in a very kind yet not too kind way I think you and your friends may be (with all due respect) making me change my mind about this episode. Therefore I may (With all due respect) change my rating to 5 stars.

With All Due Respect,

Why don't you send each other private messages instead of creating arguments in the middle of threads. No one cares.

darnzy, I didn't start an argument or participate in one with 3beards.

I wouldn't argue with him. I like him. I think he is funny.

I was making a joke to lighten it up. It's why I put the "JK" at the end of the post.

But his post sounded like one of those beer commercials where they say "I love you man."
lol

I accidently quoted you Lockedown, when I meant to quote Frogmeister. I'm just tired of hearing the ol' "my opinion is better than yours" I guess.

Sorry to interrupt.^^

Its not a arguement. I thought it may be (more then it may not be) fun (or at least a hint of entertainment would be involved) to have a extremely (But not too extreme) unheated, MINOR (But not too small) debate about this episodes quality.

But to end my part of this extremely (But not too extreme) unheated, minor (but not too small) debate about this episodes quality I have watched the episode once again and I think it is, With all due respect, a fine episode that, may more then it may not, deserve 5 stars.

The flashfowards which I have rudely and annoyingly called "Boring" was actually very interesting throughout. I must admit now that I have changed my horrible and ugly opinion. I now think this episode is 5 stars.

I love you man!

Really liked this episode. I think I agree with Treebeard, I liked confirmed Dead a little better, but that's not saying much consdering how much I liked that episode. I wish Sayid hadn't straightened his hair? It was so... wrong.... Heh.

But just to comment on the ending. Whoa! I was hoping for some insight to Ben's behavior and it looks like we are starting to get it. He probably doesn't need to be such an ass and nothing will absolve him of his behavior. But maybe we'll finally understand why HE thinks he needs to be that way.

Ben was a Bad Ass in this episode! Just like he was last episode! He wasn't a jerk like Sawyer was in season 1. He's just a tottally owning machine in a bunny suit (with a man suit over the bunny suit)!

I'll have trouble putting this on my top 10 if I do though. For the ending twist wasn't enough. Confirmed Dead gave us a straight foward twist. This twist on the other hand was rather confusing. Yes it blew my mind but I wanted more so badly that it does very good for the season but as a standalone episode...Still it was very good LOST stuff. 5 stars but I'm not sure if its top 10 material. Want another unheated minor (But not too small) debate?

Treebeard, you remind me of my relatives, who are all greek and love to debate. That's all well and good, but I can't think of anything that is worth debating right now. Well, maybe your point about twists being straightfoward?? I think that's some kind of impossibility. Twists are twisted. Maybe you mean last weeks twist helped answer questions, but this week it was opening more questions.
