What's Hot: Season 6 Start Date Announced
Segment Ratings for Ji Yeon indicate it was fairly well received by SWLS users. Although some fans seem to be growing weary of flash-back / flash-forward / island-time tricks, and they did pull off a good one here, fans seem to have enjoyed the episode more and more as it continued. Ji Yeon started off with a pretty low segment rating compared to other episode starts, but quickly went up and continued to generally rise throughout the showing. Ineed, it looks to be the episode that has covered the most range in the charts thus far, starting fairly low in segment one, but then jumping to an all time high rating for fifth segments. This was the segment in which we saw Michael unveiled. So even though it was expected, it appears this revealing was welcomed by SWLS users. Continue after the jump to see how 4x07 stacks up with other episodes this season.
Last week's episode of lost, Ji Yeon, had us following Sun and Jin in an interesting flash-forward/ flash-back combination episode. We watched as Sun, screaming for Jin "Michael Style" had her baby in an obvious flash-forward as Jin ran around the city buying panda bears, breaking his cell phone, and threatening to kill cab stealers. To put it simply, while watching this episode live I was underwhelming with the plot and soap opera-ish style that never really got me excited for the whole hour. However, in hindsight I think that episode wasn't as terrible as I felt it was while watching it. For Ji Yeon, the whole was greater than the sum of its parts.

The creators of LOST tried to pull a fast one on us tonight, in "Ji Yeon", the seventh episode of the fourth season of LOST. In an unprecedented move, we got an episode that split between flash forwards, and flash backs. For those of you still confused about what was going on, all of Jin's flashes were to the past, to the year 2000. The first clue for this was the Dragon the storekeep offers jin, which he hints would be good luck in the current year, the year of the dragon. The last year of the dragon was in 2000. The next is in 2012. A second hint for this was Jin's outdated cellphone. And lastly, Jin's tombstone indicated he died in the plane crash, and never made it off the island (but is he really dead?). Conversely, all of Sun's flashbacks were flash forwards, to sometime in the year 2005 (around August or so). We know this, also because of the tombstone, and because she is delivering the child she conceived on the island with Jin. Were you fooled? What did you think of the trick?
Poor, crazy little Regina was caught reading a book on the freighter just before she jumped overboard covered in chains for a little swim with the fishes. Her book choice? Jules Verne's The Survivior's of the Chancellor. Yet another theme relevant novel for our Losties.
In an interesting twist, we discover during the flash forward that Jin has died. Although the tombstone has the date of 9/22/2004 on it, the ate of the crash, Sun's reaction seems to indicate that he really did die, even if they did lie about how and when. But despite his looming death, we'll still get to see him next week. Maybe I'm the only one who finds that odd. What are your thoughts?
Looks like Michael has FINALLY returned as...(dun dun DUN!) Kevin Johnson. We get a quick shot of him on the deck of the boat, hiding behind two crewmen during the first of the episode, and finally get to meet him at the end.
In last week's episode 4x06, The Other Woman, we got to see Ben play his last card in order to get Locke to free him. That card was the fact that Charles Widmore was the man behind the freighter, and hunting for the island. It bought Ben his freedom. We also found out that Juliet was "the other woman" in her relationship with Goodwin, and that creepy and obsessive Ben laid his claim to Juliet and pretty much arranged for Goodwin to be killed. Despite these facts the episode was generally unpopular among fans at SWLS, scoring the lowest segment ratings and the lowest overall ratings for the season thus far. We can only hope that tonight's Sun and Jin focused episode will be a change for the better.
