Regina (played by Zoe Bell from Grindhouse!) reading "The Survivors Of Chancellor' - Classic adventure novel about a shipwreck. "Jules Gabriel Verne (February 8, 1828â€"March 24, 1905) was a French author who pioneered the science-fiction genre. He is best known for novels such as Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864), Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea (1870), and Around the World in Eighty Days (1873). Verne wrote about space, air, and underwater travel before air travel and practical submarines were invented, and before practical means of space travel had been devised. Some of his books have been made into films. Verne, along with H. G. Wells, is often popularly referred to as the "Father of Science Fiction"

Cans of Lima Beans- come in pea pods (fertility).

When Sun turned off the TV the program was a man with a ponytail with a suitcase open of cash and a blond woman. Sort of looked like Penny Widmore.

Panda- while the dragon usually serves as China's emblem, the panda has taken over. In the past, pandas have thought to have been regal. The first westerner known to have seen a living giant panda is the German zoologist Hugo Weigold (german/hurely reference). Pandas also have a baby-like cuteness.

Sun doesn't want them to take off her ring. she lost her ring while she was fertilizing the soil to grow food.

Dr. Bae replacing Dr. Park at a conference. what conference was he at? anything to do with widmore/dharma? was he purposely not there. am i looking into this too much? moving on!

The Year of The Dragon- was NOT in 2004- it was the year of the monkey.
The Year of the Monkey- people born in this year have an awareness of what's going on around them. Although these people are trustworthy and unlikely to hurt someone out of spite, they would never let people escape if they have behaved badly or damaged a monkey's reputation. Their stamina and determination to achieve their main goals can make these people appear vain or manipulative. People born under this sign should be careful so they do not damage their friendships. It is important to remember for these persons that it would be wiser sometimes not to pursue their goals and simply let things pass. they are there to clean up the disorder.
The Year of the Dragon- the dragon is a symbol of power and wealth. They are egotistical self-grandising and ambitious, almost to the point of megalomania. They will stop at nothing to get what they want. A person born in this year wears the crown of destiny, and is capable of great achievements if he or she knows how to harness his or her tremendous energy, intelligence and talent.

3 comes up a lot in this episode. Ji Yeon is mentioned three times, 3 days ago ben had a spy on the boat, it's been 3 days since they heard from desmond and sayid, in 3 weeks, sun will have to get off the island, most women don't make it past the third trimester. Sun says Jin's name 3 times.

2 married guys/decisions between spouses take twice as long- 2 is a number.

They had to stay with Jack because it was the right thing to do. and Bernard says Locke is a murderer! and he says, we must be the good guys- good vs evil.

All about karma- bad choices, bad things happen. if you make good choices.. then they were interrupted by catching a fish (fish symbolizes religion- apostles fished).

Kahana - name of freighter- Kahana," according to a Hawaiian Dictionary, means "n. Cutting, drawing of a line; turning point. There are many places in the Hawaiian islands called "Kahana," and "Kahana" is also a proper name for men or women. In addition, if spelled "ka hana", this could mean "the work" in the context of a larger sentence.
Additionally, "Kahana" is the aramaic form of the word Cohen in Hebrew, which means Priest but also Leader. All Jewish priests came from the family of Levi, who was the son of Jacob.

What errand is Lapidus running?

Captain Gault- is a fictional sea captain created by English writer William Hope Hodgson. A captain for hire, Gault is a morally ambiguous and mysterious character.

The Black Box- Widmore got the resources to find the black box from the bottom of the ocean. Ben is covering up the 324 dead passengers.

Paik Automotive- Mr. Paik is Sun's father. Paik Industries have dealings with the Widmore Corporation & Hanso Foundation. Paik Automotive was mentioned in the book "Bad Twin". The panda is a gift from Mr. Paik's eagerness to the great business of China

Also- Sun wanted the baby raised in Korea, Jin in the US.

It's interesting that Hurley comes to visit in a suit and is happy that the other Oceanic 6 aren't coming- and Sun says she trusts him.

When we see Jin buying a panda- it's a flashback (because of the year of the dragon reference). He was buying the panda on behalf of Paik Industries and doing business with the Chinese ambassador (who became a grandfather). and that is why he's so aggressive when he threatened to kill, hunt down and rip of the head of the guy who stole his cab. it was before he changed from being on the island- when he & Sun were just married and he just started working for her father.

The tombstone says Jin was born November 27th 1974, and Sun was born March 20th 1980. This difference of 6 years is considered the least compatible according to the Zodiac. 9/22/04 was the date the plane crashed so there is coverup of Jin's death.

5 of the Oceanic 6 revealed! (hurley, sayid, jack, sun, kate)- i do not count aaron - he was born on the island but discuss amongst yourselves. my bet for #6 is KEVIN JOHNSON.

WHO DIES NEXT WEEK!! probably bernard. : /
