Yeah, but Jin's dad is so cool with being marginal in his son's life that it doesn't seem to impact on his life or Jin's. I think the writers have said/hinted that Jin and his dad are considered "hicks" in the big Korean city and automatically have a low social status, sort of like southern Italians reputedly do in the big cities of northern Italy. Jin's dad seems to be willing to be marginalized for the betterment of his son's life, which might make him the best of the Lost dads.

OTOH, if you've got a father-in-law in the Korean Mafia, there's a sense in which you still have another kind of "father issues."

Yep.

Frank,get off the computer you're missing the show!

I had it on DVR. I couldn't watch it without Laura! Are you crazy, man!!

Now that I've seen, it...

JEEBUS!!!!

What make's this worse is that a friend read the spoilers for this week's episode and next week's. I won't post it here, but if you want me to tell you what he told me PM me at The Bullpen!

Fuck it. I posted it at the Bullpen.

If you want to read it, here's the link to the Thread:

I can't promise this is 100% accurate, but my friend was pretty accurate about what was going to happen tonight.

Oh,I was already at the Bullpen this morning,Frank. All I had to see was the MAJOR SPOILER thread title warning you posted to avert my eyes. I'll admit wondering about this pretty intense season's ending is killing me,but it's a good kind of pain!

Man, what a cliffhanger, I was for sure thinking Charlie would die this episode...

Oh, I wasn't refuting you, I was pointing it out merely as speculation of whether Jin has some different relationship to the island's judgement of the various characters, in the plans of the writers.

Especially since it's been long established through mulptiple seasons and episodes that Charlie can't swim.

I have bragging rights in that I was the first to post the reference to The Moon Pool , over on the various LOST wikis. Yay, me!
