So, one of these kids DIES on the next ep.
SUN
CLAIRE
DANIEL FARADAY
DESMOND
JIN
JULIET
SAWYER
Claire and Jin are too obvious now so I'm betting Sawyer. Or Jin. Or Jin in a flashforward. Maybe Sawyer.
Okay, JIN.
Place your bets (and why) here so we can all make fun you for being so so wrong.

The New Frontier
Here is a thought.
We all speculate about the relativity of time on the island. Juliet likes force real science on the fictional question with a maddening obstinence, but what if we are overlooking the most obvious time difference on the island?
At first I was annoyed with the flashback used in Ji Yeon, but step back from the island and look at it as narrative structure. We saw 3 time periods last night. Past, Present, & Future.
Dunno if any of you are also Trekkies, but the last episode of Star Trek: Next Generation had Capt Picard jumping between the Past, Present, & the future to confront a spacial anomaly that existed in all three time periods. It turns out he actually caused the anomoly in the future and could only defeat it by essentially exisiting in the same moment in all three time periods. His contstant was the Enterprise from the 1st season, final season, future time period.
What if that is the endgame of LOST. At some point the flashbacks/present/flashforwards will be used in the same fashion with Desmond working against Widmore throughout time but in one moment? It almost becomes the Bill & Ted ploy where whatever is needed in the present / future can be put there / arranged by Des in the past.
Thoughts?
Belly rubs?

Jater or Skater ???
Lets hear it. Are you a Jater or Skater?
Jater = Jack and Kate
Skater = Sawyer and Kate
Me, I'm a Jater all the way.

Me, I'm a Jater all the way.

Ji Yeon
This episode kinda sucked. It was way too obvious. When they mentioned it was year of the dragon I remembered that was 2000-2001 and saw it was a flashback for Jin and a flashforward for Sun and I figured that Jin would end up dead. Maybe if I hadn't figured it out after the second scene I would have liked it better.
Couple small questions. Does Jin die on the island? or does he escape the island and die later? Does it matter? Only if Sayid kills him. I think Sayid put Michael in that coffin, not sure if it was personal or at Ben's request. I am happy Michael is coming back, but if he says "They took my boy." or "WAAAAAALLLLLLTTTTTT" I'm gonna go postal.
It turns out that we get another episode next week. My roomate tells me he read it was a Ben centric episode that was moved up in front of the Michael episode originally on the 16 episode season schedule. Makes sense to do something that will give a better cliff-hanger than what they did tonight.
