Looking ahead: "Ji Yeon"

Thursday's episode is entitled "Ji Yeon."

Here's ABC.com's description:


Juliet is forced to reveal some startling news to Jin when Sun threatens to move to Locke's camp. Meanwhile, Sayid and Desmond begin to get an idea of the freighter crew's mission when they meet the ship's Captain.

I checked Babelfish for Korean-to-English translations of "Ji Yeon" but there were no results. Does anyone speak Korean? I think, from a Google search, that it's a name.

What I'm expecting from tonight's episode

I'm expecting a lot.

I've heard this is the most intense episode this season, and I'm fairly excited.

I'm expecting so much, I don't want to list it all. Instead, here's my top five picks from Ben's "Man on the Ship."

And the nominees are...

Lima beans for everyone!

Well, we already know where the title of this episode came from -- and we know that Sun is one of the Oceanic Six.

The flash forward was nothing surprising. I kept waiting for a wide shot to see if she was pregnant or not. I was also expecting her to pick up a baby when she went for her lip stick. Jin Yeon might be on her/his way.

The captains seems to mean business, whoever he or she is.

Also, we finally see Regina is, and she's a strange one. Why, exactly, was she reading the book upside down? Not really reading, or thrown off somehow?

Did anyone catch what she was reading?

Also, what was the "problem in the kitchen" Frank talked about?

Don't trust the captain.

Jin is another one of the Six, which I think should round out our roster.

Sawyer doesn't make it off the island -- I was wrong.

It seems as if the driving force in this episode is the captain of the freighter, who Ben's man on the boat warned Sayid and Des not to trust and who, we can assume, would make the call if Sun and Jin get to leave the island.

Sun and Jin are headed to Locke's camp. I'm really not sure how this all comes together -- if they make it there, how do they get off the island with Hurley, who is also in the camp. Will John, Kate and Sayid join up with Locke, too?

Is Ben the key off the island?

I think so.

I'm on the edge of my seat here to find out who Ben's insider on the freighter is.

"I need another panda."

Juliet just told Jin that Sun had an affair to stop her from leaving. Obviously they patch things up, what with the flash forward, but we'll see what happens from here. They'll likely resolve it all by the end of the show -- if not the next commercial break.

What if Ben really is their ticket off the island, and not the folks on the freighter? I really have no idea how this is going to play out.

Was Juliet's move the right move? What do you think?

"You make good decisions, good things happen to you"

Bernard and Jin share a heart warming moment about being faithful and making good decisions. That's what Bernard's character does best -- he pops up once every eight episodes or so and shares a moral with another character. Oh, old Bernard, what a guy.

The more compelling part of this segment was Regina's apparent suicide -- she did seem a little off earlier -- and Captain (I think he said) Gould apparently not caring.

He said he would answer some questions for Des and Sayid. Good. I have a few questions of my own.

Is someone really just banging on the pipes inside the freighter?

Was it some effort to communicate?

What was wrong with Regina?

Also, what is this "digested yogurt" they are advertising during commercial breaks?

IT'S MICHAEL

OK, well, I'm not totally shocked.

My Walt theory is dead, and Andrew K. wins the day. Someone give Jeff -- who posted earlier -- the $10 he bet that it was Michael.

The captain was strangely forth coming, indeed, although something tells me not to trust him.

He didn't really answer any questions, just reiterated a major question from this season: Just how does someone stage and entire plane crash complete with counterfeit corpses for every passenger on board?

I'd say they would like to find Ben to answer that question.

Also, what kind of cabin fever is everyone having on the freighter?

Oh, and Sun had a girl -- but that's really taken a back seat to the other storyline in this episode.

"Next week: Someone... will... die..."

They got me.

Oh, they got me alright.

A flash-forward inter-cut with a flashback? Those writers are tricky, you know.

Jin is dead, apparently. But does he die on the island, or back in the real world? Is it a heroic death trying to get Sun off the island or is he killed tragically in Korea?

This was a big episode, but it doesn't look that big relatively -- next week, things are going to just get crazy.

Bonkers.

Nutso.

No "Gut Reaction" tonight. Trying to gather my thoughts.
