Daniel Dae Kim recently talked to these media outfits but provides really safe answers about the fate of his character on Lost. But from what he said, it’s clear to me, Jin is still very much alive.

“The writers–regardless of whether we’re ready to say goodbye to it or not–the writers have such a way of continuing to delve into the characters,” he said. “So there always seems to be more story to tell.” | Sci-Fi Wire
“She’s my favorite, my favorite I’ve ever played, she’s massively fun for me,” said Mitchell. “She captivated me, everything they wrote captivated me. It has nothing to do with my performance, had I read it in a book I would have been captivated.”
NURSE: Okay, sweetheart. All right, there you go. Wrap you up nice and warm. We’ll just take you over here now. Margaret, would you put him in for me, please?
EMILY: My baby.
NURSE: It’s a boy, honey. He’s okay for now. He’s just real early.
EMILY: Can I hold him?
NURSE: I’m really sorry, sweetheart. He’s just too little. We have to take him away now.
EMILY: But… name–name him John. Please! His name is John!
KEAMY: Linus knew who I was. He knew my name. He knew everything about me.
GAULT: No, I’m not the one who gave you up.
KEAMY: Then who did?
KEAMY: Do you know who I am?
MICHAEL: What?
(jabs Michael in the stomach)
KEAMY: My name. Do you know my name?
MICHAEL: Keamy. Martin Keamy.
KEAMY: Did you give it to him?
MICHAEL: Who?
KEAMY: Benjamin Linus–did you give him my name?
MICHAEL: Yeah.
GAULT: Martin, we need him. He’s the only one who can fix the engines.
KEAMY: And what makes you so sure about that?
GAULT: Because he’s the one who broke them.
HORACE: Hello there. You gotta find me, John. You gotta find me. And when you do, you’ll find him.
LOCKE: Who?
HORACE: Jacob. (more…)

How did Matthew Fox’s latest film do after it opened in theaters this weekend? It failed to crush down Iron Man, and received mixed reviews. I’ve rounded up some it:
Christian Shepard tells John Locke that in order to save the island, they would have to move the island. The physical move would have to be slightly impossible…so maybe moving meant a move in a different time, not in a different place?
Here’s what I’ve gathered while going over sites and their theories:
The shift in time has occurred on the island before.
The shift in time involves some seismic activity and as Darlton has mentioned in past interviews, it will happen again.
We shall see the purple sky signifying that the island is once again moving with the help of a magnetic force.
The move will, of course, make it difficult for anyone to find the island. Which is what future Jack will encounter.
So we see Claire chilling out inside Jacob’s cabin, looking very much contented where she is. Is she high on something? Or like Christian, is she a walking undead? If Claire is dead, when did she die?
Did the blast actually get her (The Shape of Things To Come)? After the blast, Claire has been experiencing headaches, which could mean her body isn’t the same anymore. Or was she dead long before that? Is that why Miles was looking at her funny? And is that the reason why Miles let her be with her dad? Because he can listen to what the dead is saying and knows what is happening between Claire and her dad?
If Claire is dead — how come Sawyer was still able to communicate with her?
Wow. We’ve got another remarkable episode, yes? So many facets to who John Locke is has been revealed. But the most important question that does matter is — how the heck do you move an island??? I’m jumping ahead a little… so let me get on with the rundown.
FLASHBACK
Tonight’s episode begins with a girl named Emily, who was accidentally (?) hit by a car while trying to run away from her mother in other to meet up with a much older boyfriend. Emily is pregnant and the accident has resulted in her giving birth to a baby boy prematurely. She names the baby John but later decides she can’t be a mother to him.
Outside the hospital room, Dr. Richard Alpert is looking intently at the baby. The nurse assumes he is the father. This was in the 1950’s, and Richard looks exactly the same as how he looked in the island (present).
Several years later, John is in the home of his foster family when Richard comes to see him. He tells young John he runs a school for very special kids and proceeds to give John tests. He lays out several things on the table and asks John to choose which of the items is his. The boy picks the knife from the pack and for whatever reason, Richard is disappointed and leaves their house.
We then see a teenage John Locke stuck inside a locker at his school. A teacher comes to his aid who tells him that maybe he is cut out for science summer camp which is headed by a certain Dr. Richard Alpert. But John tells teacher he’s not into those things.
Still, several years later… a crippled John is doing physical therapy and encounters an orderly. The orderly tells him maybe it’s time to do some self-discovery and suggests he joins a walkabout in Australia for it will “change his life”… to which John sarcastically remarked he can’t possibly ever do because he is 98% crippled. The orderly assures him that the next time they will meet, John will owe him for this. The orderly is none other than Matthew Abaddon who visited Hurley in the mental institution, post-island.
ON THE ISLAND
Locke receives clues in his dreams. He meets a man named Horace who tells him he is the clue to finding Jacob’s cabin. When Locke wakes up, he leads Hurley and Ben to a mass grave and starts checking the remains there.
He finds Horace’s and picks off the clothes he had on. In Horace’s pocket is the map to Jacob’s cabin. (Horace is the man who helped Ben’s father get a job in the island.)
The three finally see Jacob’s cabin but Ben and Hurley opted to stay outside and share a chocolate bar (awww, look how cute they are!) :
Inside the cabin, Locke does not find Jacob, but Christian Shepherd, who tells him he speaks for Jacob. Locke also finds Claire there. It seems she is very contented with staying with her father. Locke asks Christian what he can do to save the island and outside, he tells Ben and Hurley that they want him to move it (island).
FREIGHTER
Keamy and his team return to the freighter after the attack by the black smoke. Keamy vows to fly back and do Plan B of his orders (torch the island) which the Captain didn’t know about.
The Captain helps Sayid get to a boat in order to go back to the Island and tries to save as many survivors. Although, the Captain later ends up getting shot by Keamy when he prevented him from flying back.
Frank Lipidus, unable to also prevent Keamy, flies their team back but also stashes a tracker on his backpack, which he later throws on the beach, for Jack, Juliet, Kate and the rest to find. Jack assumes that it’s a sign they should try and follow where the chopper is headed to.
Tonight on Lost — it’s a Locke-centric episode, and one that, spoilers say, has a significant revelation for his character. I wonder what it is?
Episode detail from ABC: Locke is enlightened as to the whereabouts of Jacob’s cabin, and life aboard the freighter becomes perilous. Guest starring are Jeff Fahey as Frank Lapidus, Lance Reddick as Matthew Abaddon, Marc Vann as doctor, Kevin Durand as Keamy, Anthony Azizi as Omar, Grant Bowler as Captain Gault, John Terry as Christian Shephard, Holland Roden as Emily, Rebecca Tilney as Emily’s mother, Amanda Carlin as ER nurse, Patrick Torres as ER doctor, Doug Hutchison as Horace Goodspeed, Nestor Carbonell as Richard Alpert, Matthew Pedersen as physical therapist, Mandy June Turpin as Florence, Sarah Duval as Melissa, Charles Henry Wyson as John Locke (age 5), Phil Abrams as Gellert and Caleb Steinmeyer as John Locke (age 16).

And more spoilers right after the cut. You’d have to click to read…
JACK: I wonder if I’ve been changed in the night. Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning? But if I’m not the same, the next question is, ‘Who in the world am I?’ Aha, that’s the great puzzle.’
KATE: You’re a natural.
JACK: Yeah?
KATE: Yeah.
JACK: My old man used to read me that story.
KATE: Really?
JACK: What?
KATE: It’s just… it’s just sweet hearing you say nice things about your dad.
JACK: I don’t say nice things about my dad? Well, he was a good storyteller. I’ll give him that. Hey. You okay?
KATE: Yeah. Just, I… I love seeing you with him. I’m so glad you changed your mind.
JACK: I’m so glad that you’re here.
KATE: Me, too.
MILES: Who’s Danielle and Karl?
CLAIRE: You mean Rousseau? The French woman?….Oh, my God.
MILES: Is this your French woman?
SAWYER: Karl.
SAWYER: How’d you know they were down there? Your buddies do this?
MILES: They’re not my buddies, man. I didn’t sign up for this.
CLAIRE: Can we just–can we just get out of here, please? Can we just go?
SAWYER: Yeah, yeah, of course. But don’t worry. Once we get back to the beach, everything’s gonna be fine. All right? Come on. Let’s go.
