"The Glass Ballerina"

i meant to post this over a week ago, i've just been so busy. This semester will be over within the month and hopefully i'll be able to start going through season one and writing on my theories about it. For "The Glass Ballerina" i'm posting my observations as i watched the ep for the third time.

i can hardly wait for Feb. 7!
Muchacha de Hurley

- Why was Sun afraid of her father as a child?

- Why is Jin so violent with Sun? Why is he so insistent that they abandon Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Hurley, and Michael?

- So, two knocks is the code?

- i still think that Ben and Juliet must have history of some kind.

- Colleen is as hostile as her husband, isn't she?

- "Brian" was waiting for Sayid to show up and they know he's and Iraqui.

- Mr. Friendly is tall.

- So, you kiss your wife in front of your prisoners and they're not supposed to watch?

- Why is Sun apologizing? If she thought it was wrong, she shouldn't have done it. Why does Jin seem to think she shouldn't ever disagree with him?

- i'm mad at Sun because she is in bed with Jae. How mortifying it must be for your father to find out and see you! Why does Jae want her now? He could have had her before, but nooooo....

- What in the world are the Others clearing land to build?

- Sawyer's reaction to Danny's dress comment was classic. Awesome.

- Danny's not dumb: he is smart though, knows is he shocks Kate then he'll get Sawyer's ire up, if he shocks Sawyer he'll get Kate to do what he wants.

- Why does Sun's father insist on Jin doing his dirty work for him? In this instince it makes sense, but he doesn't tell Jin why. What i don't understand is why any man should expect to get exactly what he want all the time and for people to die or suffer when he doesn't get it. And Jin seems to have learned this anger from him. i wish Jin would stop acting like his father-in-law and do what he know is right.

- Yeah, you can see when Sayid is lying about the dock that Jin understands more than he's letting on.

- Sawyer has no shame, does he? He just stares up Kate's skirt.

- So Alex is friends with Karl??? Or is it something more?

- What would Sun know about lying? Quite a lot. She's lied to Jin for a long time about not having an affair.

- See, Sayid is smart, too, he wants to take two hostages: "One to make the other cooperate." Kate can make Jack or Sawyer cooperate, can't she? (So the Others think.)

- Sun has to help Jin take his jacket off just to lay it over a chair? She's nervous about seeing him, now that her father knows.

- Sun apparently still chooses Jin however. She wants to start over with him, she doesn't want to live without him.

- Jin knows how to use a gun?

- What is Juliet flirting with Sawyer? Just trying to apologize? Soften him up? Doesn't she understand that Kate's his girl? Guess she does, cuz she knows who to threaten.

- Jae definitely knows who Jin is. And i honestly don't know if he commited suicide because he discovered that he couldn't be with Sun anymore or ir someone was cleaning up after Jin.

- Once again, the claim that the Others aren't the enemy... Colleen was so certain that Sun wouldn't shoot her, so she comes point blank and makes it worse. Gut shot, slow and painful way to go.

- So, the Others apparently don't know that Sun's pregnant yet. Otherwise i don't think Tom would be shooting at her, even if she did shoot Colleen (which of course he doesn't know yet).

- So, it's unacceptable for Sun to go to the funeral of a man whom was a publically acknowledged friend?

- Sun and Jin obviously love each other.

- Nice of Sayid to apologize, but... they're going to go walking through an unfamilliar jungle in the middle of the night?

- How late do they make Kate and Sawyer work, anyway? He's smart, he feels out the limits, figures out where their weaknesses are.

- So, Ben finally introduces himself to Jack. Ben has a silly name, has lived on the Island his entire life, and Jack is on a hunger strike for some reason. Ben is a manipulative little $#!*, isn't he?

- So, in hindsight... how long was Ben expecting to wait before telling Jack about what he's really there for??? Because i just don't think he had that much time to work with.
