Wow. that was a suprisingly good episode; above mediocre and better than last week. I almost lost hope until about 20 minutus into the hour where things started to pick up and we got into the meat of the episode. The flashbacks and the island story actually both kept me interested, and the acting was well done. It's weird that the flashbacks seem to have no parallels to the island story anymore. They could've switched these flashbacks for the Glass Ballerina ones and it would've fit better.
Anyway, since my thoughts are scattered, I'll just bullet-point a few things...
-Why do Korean people refer to currency in American dollar amounts?
-What's up with the Parachutist's mult-lingual crap?
-Why wasn't Mikhail at least deaf or somtething? Did he really die or just badly injured, then healed?
-Mikhail is obviously trying to establish communications again.
-I didn't understand the whole Sun versus Jin's mom thing. Their was no singificant threat. Was she going to leak Jin's background information to the Press?
-I feel like we finally learned more about Sun and Jin. As we all know, character development in flashbacks have become scarce this season; but I think we connected a few dots this time. We got to hear more on Jin's family and the bitter duality of the rich family declining the poor family and vice versa. We also kind of found out why Jin was eventually hired as an assasin.
-The baby's conception revelation was a bit anti-climactic, especially having waited for it so long; but at least it created some conflict.
-The tension between Charlie, Jin, and Desmond was great.
-I think it was funny that they made Charlie act like Kate had told him about Mikhail. And Hurley shooting the flare was priceless.
And finally,
-We got to see a glimpse of what Juliet's real feelings are. We can infer that she is trying to finish her research so she can get off the island. And she hates Ben.
