I think that was what it was called. Season 3, ep 7 anyway.
I enjoyed this one, it was very very moving - and it's nice to see Sun and Jin do something for a change.
Spoilers...
One slight problem - and maybe I am utterly thick, but I didn't realise it was a flash-forward/back episode until I read something about it afterwards. The Sun/Jin stuff is so all over the place - is she a nasty ho, is she nice, does she love that bald guy? (no not Locke) - that I really struggle to keep up with him. I thought, when Jin got to the hospital, he'd just gone there as part of his job and he had remarried since leaving the island... And then Hurley turns up and I assumed he's the new hubby ha ha...
So I can't work out if I'm totally stupid or if the writing could have been tightened up a little.
But a good ep, and nice stuff on the freighter - bye bye Zoe Bell, very short, but sweet.
Has Michael really got amnesia? I hope not - yawn.
Has Miles still got that grenade in his mouth?
And so who are the Oceanic 6 - we've got Jack, Kate, Hurley, Sayid, Sun - how do Aaron and Ben fit into it?
Hmm.

Was it definitely a flash-forward / flashback episode? Like you, I thought maybe Jin's death had been faked and he'd remarried - then Louise said she thought it was two separate timelines. If so, a bit messy.
Doubt Michael's got amnesia - the look between him and Sayeed said they both recognised each other.
Ben can't be one of the Oceanic 6 as he wasn't on the plane in the first place. Don't know about Aaron though... strictly speaking, he wasn't on the plane either.
actually now i'm even more confused. maybe you're right - maybe it was all flash-forward. it could have been.
but no, i think we need to take things at face value. i doubt jin is dead though... Maybe stuck on the island.
i hope michael hasn't got amnesia - that would be tedious.
hmm you know, think about it, if aaron came back from the island, i'd probably count him as one of the 6.
It was deffo a mix of flashback and flash forward. Jin's part was a flashback when he was working for Sun's mean daddy. The Sun part was the flash forward to when the 6 got back from the island. So the writer's were playing fast and loose with their new format, which was actually kind of cheating and confusing. I think the writing was not very tight, as they tried to trick audiences into believing that it was all the same timeline. I thought it was kinda weak and beneath them, G HATED IT - lol.
The 6 officially are: Jack, Kate, Hurley, Sayid, Sun and Aaron (which I say if you're not on the manifest - you can't be one of the 6!) Boo Carlton and Damon!
tsk. deffo sloppy writing then - could so easily have been tighter and made for a classic ep.
long-time fans were gonna be looking out for all the details - eg I just assumed Jin was back working for Sun's dad.
i did like the ep though, and it was a good idea for a twist (even though no one noticed it)
noooo! Aaron was not an Oceanic flight member!!!
I agree, Aaron can't be one of the Oceanic 6 - he could be one of the Lost Island 6, but that's not what they're calling 'em.
and where does Ben fit into all this...
i guess the Others can get to reality pretty easily - which kinda spoils the illusion of it all...
i wonder if they're still making it up as they go along ha ha
