Lost Watch

Episode 6 : House Of The Rising Sun

This week we are Jin and Sun centric for the flashback backbone of the episode but begin with some great comedy from Charlie as he accuses Jack and Kate of "verbally copulating" and observes that "the great white hunter" is getting restless waiting for the expedition to collect water to start.

A quick bit of establishing that Sun and Jin are isolated by the group latter and Jin has jumped Micheal without explanation and is trying to drown him in the sea, he's doing pretty well until the justice squad of Sayid and Sawyer arrive to restore the peace.

Back in the (Korean) day we have Jin the waiter wanting to marry IT girl Jin, deciding things must be done properly he refuses to elope with Sun and goes to her father to request his permission; he ends up working for Sun's father in return.

Jack, Kate, Charlie and Locke reach the caves and begin collecting the water. Jack rather ironically asks Charlie to search for drugs amongst some more wreckage he's found; Charlie twitches and tries to sneak off to chase the dragon but Locke won't let him out of his sight, the 'ol dog knows something is up.

The budget is then thrown to the skies for the inclusion of a swarm of CGI bees (presumable hard to get Bees to do what you want) has Charlie disturbs a grounded Bee-hive, correctly pointing out if he could pull himself together it would be an irrational fear of bees that has traumatised him so. To offset this spending things are sexed as Kate feels the need to remove her shirt for the occasion.

Half naked Kate then discovers some bodies in the cave who have been then for quite some time, an Adam and Eve as Jack observes. Who are they? How did they get there?

Flashing back we see how Sun and Jin have been driven apart by the work he does for her father, he works all hours and has developed a temper. It become apparent his job description is 'Hired Goon' when he comes home covered in blood which quite clearly isn't his. This leads onto Sun planning to escape her life and learning English in secret to make it possible.

On the island Jack decides the gang should set up in the caves instead of the beech but opinion is split and eventually half go to the caves and half stay with the crucial dramatic turn being the fact that Kate stays on the beech breaking up her doe eyed duo with the dashing doc.

Elsewhere it turns out Jin has gone ape-sh*t over a watch Micheal has salvaged on the beach (quite uninspiring really), Locke gets Charlie to give up his drugs and manages to reconnect the former hobbit happily with his guitar, we hear Micheal's number one priority is to get Walt off the island (this people will be significant later) and Locke once demonstrates his faith in the island.

As we draw to a close in the days gone by Sun finds she is unable to walk away from her husband once the opportunity arises. So we have a bit more on hour Korean heroes (Jin does not know Sun can speak English) the survivors have split into two distinct groups in the caves and on the beach and the small little lies elsewhere are building up (Jack does not know yet about any the signal or any previous inhabitants for example).
