Jin Lives!!!
The island part of the episode === very good
The Kate heavy part of the episode === suck
They needed to inverse the amount of screen time that Kate and Hurley each had. For Kate fans, how can you really stand to watch her? I mean I know she is hot, but she is so annoying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hugs, smiling, and interactive Twitter accounts, don't mean winning baseball. Until this community understands that we are cursed to relive the madness.
Dude, Kate is so smokin' hot I don't care what she says or does.

We know that the Losties retain their memories when they jump back in time. So did Rousseau remember meeting Jin when the Losties crash on the island years later?
My guess is, he was banished. We saw a glimpse that he was (1) fiercely protective of the island, (2) ruthless and (3) not inclined to back down even from Richard. So I'm guessing he got kicked off for something and has spent the rest of his life trying to get back. Maybe to destroy everything out of spite, or, since he knows the nature of the place, to use it for his own ends.
I'm thinking this may have happened before Ben came on the scene, or even Dharma. But since Ben has been the leader and chief protector of the island, Whidmore became his problem.
And, of course, I could be totally wrong about all of the above. That's how this show goes.

My wife and daughter and I were talking about this last night. We're wondering why only the Oceanic folks, the freighter three and Juliette leap. Locke, as I recall, was with Richard and the others when the first leap happened. Why didn't they leap?
Of course, it's in its 5th season and Danielle first arrived on the scene enigmatically (imagine that on this island!), so I don't recall her first encounter with Jin. Of course, it was 14 years later and maybe he just struck her as somewhat familiar.

It's possible that the Others are leaping but just in a different time frame from the Losties. More than likely though due to their relationship with the island they are safe.
I would imagine that if Danielle were alive still her memory of Jin would have been like Desmond's of Ferreday. When they first met they actually hadn't met in the past yet so she wouldn't have remembered that until it actually happened and then it would seem like a memory to her.
It is on the whole probable that we continually dream, but that consciousness makes such a noise that we do not hear it. Carl Jung.
I didn't think Ben fathered Alex. The "Others" took her, correct? I thought that was mentioned a long time ago. Plus, this week's episode shows she was pregnant when they landed on the island.
My theory is that the Others are not jumping through time but only the Losties are.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's affecting everyone who was on the island (and alive) when Ben did the Big Move. We're only seeing it from the perspective of the familiar characters, though.
