Finally, Michael\u2019s presence on board is revealed to Sayid and Desmond. Where Walt is, we do not yet know. The discussion with Capt. Gault was fascinating, particularly given that Sayid and Desmond had been warned not to trust the captain, presumably by Michael, and yet the captain seemed far more believable \u2013 even though he works for Charles Widmore, whom we <em>haven\u2019t<\/em> learned to trust so far.<\/p>\n<p>What was going on with Regina? She was reading Jules Verne, yet holding the book upside down. Then she wrapped herself in chains and jumped into the water. What had she seen or experienced that caused <em>that<\/em>?<\/p>\n<p>The big shocker, of course, was the visit by Sun with her newborn baby daughter and Hurley to Jin\u2019s grave. The gravestone said he died in 2004, and the calendar on the freighter said it was Christmas eve 2004, if I recall correctly. And so putting that together with the commercial\u2019s claim that someone will die in the next episode, there is good reason to think it might be Jin. But Claire\u2019s number is presumably up soon too, and so all bets are off.<\/p>\n<p>UPDATE: A commenter saw the full date on Jin\u2019s gravestone and it was the day of the crash, and so it may be that Jin is still alive on the island!<\/p>\n<p>On this episode see further Carmen Andres\u2019 post <a href=\"http:\/\/intheopen.blogspot.com\/2008\/03\/in-love-with-lost-again.html\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">\u201cIn love with \u2018Lost\u2019 again\u201d<\/a>, and Paul Levinson\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/paullevinson.blogspot.com\/2008\/03\/lost-47-flash-both-ways.html\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">\u201cFlash Both Ways\u201d<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/7622297540113836091-8507617022808407862?l=exploringourmatrix.blogspot.com\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tonight\u2019s episode had some \u201cwow\u201d moments, mostly in the flashback\/flashforward (it was a clever idea to have the two running in parallel simultaneously) and in the events on the ship.
