You know, I didn't pay any real attention to the promos for this episode, so I have no idea who is in the spotlight tonight. Ooh, an element of mystery tonight! At least for the first couple of minutes, that is ...
-- wtf who is the creeper watching this?
-- Evil Locke is going to give Jin the evil pitch.
-- "Don't worry. I'll cross Sun off for you."
-- "I'll give your MOM some paperwork!!"
-- Oh, Jin. So modest.
-- also wtf. Worst alternate reality ever. No Jin x Sun is bad. :(
-- Sayid can't feel pain -- Evil Locke power, or emo power?
-- Well, SOMEONE is pissed.
-- I think Ghostbuster is going to hustle Lapidus.
-- Man, that knife stab even scared Ben.
-- "The tomatoes are FINE, asshole."
-- "I'm not a fan of this series, so I don't care!"
-- "I'm tired of you hogging all the screen time!"
-- Poor Jin doesn't know he is on his way to a closet.
-- Keep on saying no, Jin!!
-- Good man!
-- So, non-married life is apparently treating them very well.
-- "Oh my god, evil!!"
-- "They were confused, so I had to kill them. You know how it is."
-- Evil Locke doesn't have great luck with the ladies.
-- OH MY GOD THAT TREE THREW HER INTO ANOTHER DIMENSION AHHHHHH
-- That Sun is devious.
-- Interrupted before she says what she needs to tell Jin. Of course.
-- KEAMY GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE
-- "... Did you lose your English when this happened?"
-- Evil Locke is a crappy leader.
-- "Others."
-- "WELL THAT'S JUST GREAT"
-- GOD LOVES JIN AS HE LOVED JACOB
-- Oh hey, glasses girl.
-- Well, that's just mean.
-- "You're in luck, Jin. I'm Charles Widmore. *takes off mask*"
-- "... *taser*"
-- Wait, is Claire suddenly less crazy now? Lame.
-- "THEN you can kill her."
-- I like Evil Locke much more now!
-- Keamy, you creeper. Go away.
-- "GOTTA TAKE A WIZZ"
-- And the fangirls squeal!
-- ... Oh snap. Mikhail.
-- Wonder if he'll have both eyes?
-- It's weird seeing him without an eyepatch.
-- "Gathering mangoes"? Is that what they call it these days?
-- "I don't understand you, Jack!"
-- Good work keeping Smokey out.
-- "Yes, I just called myself a wise man."
-- "Si?"
-- "I assume everything you just said is incredibly foul."
-- Ghostbuster has that, "Don't look at me" look on his face right now.
-- Once again, Sun's dad proves himself to be a douche.
-- And yet again, Sun's dad = douche.
-- "Damn you geophysicists and your lack of tactical ability!"
-- "My daughter kicks ASS!"
-- "Not your package, I hope."
-- COME ON, DESMOND
-- Sayid decides to give Jin a solid. Sort of.
-- I'm going to laugh so much if Mikhail loses an eye.
-- LOL LOL LOL
-- Shocking! :O
-- Jack has a stupid story about every ailment.
-- Sun trusts Jack relatively more than she does Evil Locke.
-- WE ALMOST WENT THIS WHOLE EPISODE WITHOUT KATE ARGH
-- YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
-- Man, they really got him good and liquored up.
-- "SO WHERE'S THE GIN YOU PROMISED ME" "Uh, it's not exactly what you have in mind ..."
Solid episode, although I was much more into the Jin/Sun sideways story than the island stuff (though I did lol at Widmore owning Evil Locke). I'm glad to see relations between Jin and Sun are not nearly as strained in this world as they were in the "real" world at this point in time. Unfortunately, the strife has to come from somewhere, so Keamy and crew have to mess things up. Bastards. Kind of funny how dickish Sayid is in this timeline, too. At least he did not kill Jin.
Nice seeing Mikhail again too. I missed that slimy bastard. Don't know if he'll recover from a gunshot wound to the eye, but he has proved himself to be a tenacious fucker in the past, so I would not be at all shocked to see him pop up in another story down the road. Desmond at the end is cool, too, though if you didn't figure out before that moment that Widmore had Desmond hidden away, then you just weren't paying attention. Ah well, obvious or not, having Desmond FINALLY back in the series is great, and ABC made it painfully obvious that next week's episode is a Desmond episode, so awesome. Can't wait!
