There’s really no point in convincing myself Jin is still alive… because I know he is! But I base this only for the knowledge that Jin was raised as a fisherman, he’s prepared for risks in the waters (and apart from actually not seeing him die….)
But it is interesting to note the obvious — Sun’s character development will be much more different in Season 5. With her husband left behind, on a freighter that exploded right in front of her eyes, Sun is out to avenge her husband’s “death”. She’s out to get anyone — her father, Ben, maybe even Jack and Kate. (In her flash forward on Ji Yeon, she wasn’t too thrilled about having the rest of the 06ers present to see her baby. It seems she was fine and actually relieved she only had Hurley there.)
So strong is her need for vengeance that the scene with her confronting Widmore indicates the submissive, devoted and intelligent housewife, may be going to athe dark side by aligning with Ben’s nemesis. (If we’re to assume Widmore is really the bad guy here…I’m still on the fence about that since Ben is a very suspicious character!)
But if Jeremy Bentham aka Locke was able to round up the 06ers post-island…is it possible he would have told Sun her husband is alive? if so, is her going to the dark side part of the plan? Or is this really a plan that’s just all hers?
By the way, Yunjin Kim should be commended for her playing out Sun’s hysteria over seeing the freighter explode. I had goosebumps watching her face and I think I almost went fetal crying over it.
