Let's talk about
LOST! The Glass Ballerina.
A beautiful
glass ballerina figurine is
tumbling through the air. It
crashes down and shatters in front of the
fireplace.
A little girl runs away from the
broken figure.
The little girl sits at the
piano. {A
metronome keeps tempo/time}
SHE IS NOT IN TEMPO/TIME WITH THE METRONOME.
She
hears the door open; she
stops playing and stops the metronome.
Mr. Paik enters the room with the
broken pieces of the figurine in a
white bag/sac. The little girl backs away from him. This is Sun.
He asks the child if she
broke the
ballerina.
Sun- "NO." She says that the
maid broke it.
Mr. Paik tells her if the
maid did it he'd be
forced to
fire her, so he asks her a
second time.
Sun
stands her ground saying it was the
maid's fault.
A frustrated Mr. Paik walks out.
He little girl appears to have
no guilt over her
decision to lie.
Sun looks in a
mirror and splashes
water on her face. She is on the boat. Jin knocks on the
bathroom door, tells her to
open the door. Sun isn't feeling
well.
She says it’s, "
Morning sickness."
We see a shot of the sailboat with
black smoke rising up in the background.
Sayid is working on a
map with an obvious marking pointing
north. {
Binoculars.}
Sayid is wearing a
watch.
Sun translates Jin's request, "My husband says it’s
time to leave.
He doesn't think Jack and the others are coming. It's been over a day since we
lit the fire. It should be here by now."
Sayid insists that Jack
knows they are there, "
He's counting on our signal."
He goes on to suggest that maybe, if
Jack is North of there, the mountains would be
blocking their signal and he wouldn't be able to
see it. They need to
sail forward along the coast, clear the mountains and start another
signal fire. All along Sun is
translating to Jin but Jin won't go for it.
Sayid tells Sun he “Told Jack I would
light a fire. I'm not
abandoning him."
When Sayid says that, Jin turns away. Sun attempts to explain to Jin but he gets pissed, shakes her and says, "Sayid is not your husband." {
Sayid doesn't even react.}
Sun says to Sayid, "My husband thinks we have to do as he says, because he's the only one who knows how to sail. But he's
wrong." {
Ah, another wonderful secret brought to you by, Sun!} She will
help sail the boat. She
defies Jin.
Jack is in his
glass cell sleeping in the corner.
A video camera with
red blinking light is watching him.
A man
guarding him opens the door and Juliet enters bearing
food on a tray. Jack
wakes up. She asks him if he's
feeling better. Juliet made the soup herself. {
Well if she isn't friggin' Martha Stewart!} She
knocks on the door
2 times to signal the
guard to open it and she leaves.
Jack
sits in the corner never saying a word.
Juliet
knocks twice on another door and Ben opens it, removes his glasses.
He has been
watching everything and everyone
via various locations video monitors.
Ben-"You never made soup for me."
Just then a woman
climbs down a
ladder; she asks if she's interrupting something, as she looks at them with a bit of suspicion. Colleen
reports to Ben that they have
a situation. Colleen informs them Ryan
radioed in that "The
Iraqi found the decoy village."
Ben feels that's
good,
that's what they wanted. Colleen goes on to tell him that they have a sailboat. This
shocks Ben! "How?"
Juliet is
unimpressed as she feels that "
Sailing in circles will keep them busy."
Colleen fears "
They could find us."
All of this has worried Ben.
A team could be put together
within the hour. Colleen gives Juliet a dirty look and leaves.
Ben-"And Colleen, I want that boat."
Sawyer in his
cage/cell picks up a
black rock, trying to
retrieve food like the bears.
We hear the
fake sounds of nature/animals. Then
fan fair music plays signaling he got
food.
Kate
wakes up in her
cage/cell.
Kate- "
Nice alarm clock."
Sawyer "I've
woke up to
worse."
Armed Others take Sawyer and Kate out of the
cages; they are given
lunch boxes.
As they walk to wherever, they are interrupted by Colleen. She speaks privately to Danny and he gives her a kiss on the cheek. {
They sure do have a lot of guns.} Sawyer
watches them.
On the sailboat Sun sees Sayid load a rifle; he is
focused! Jin is
looking through the
binoculars. Sun apologizes to Jin for
disagreeing with him in front of Sayid. Jin says she shouldn't have
disagreed period.
Jin- "Why did you even come with us?"
Sun
didn't want to be without him.
Sun is lying in bed. The man next to her is revealed to be
Jae. He asks her what's
wrong.
Sun-"What's
wrong is that I'm married."
He seems
unimpressed with that answer; they kiss.
Sun tells him she’s
sorry, "I can't." {
Note the dark lamp on the table with the light lampshade. Red.}
Jae gives her a
gift of
PEARLS! Sun can't wear them because Jin will ask
where they came from.
Jae tells her in
English he doesn't want to share her anymore, "Your
English is
excellent now.
You can go to America."
There is a
knock at the door. Surprised Sun says no one knows she is there.
Jae answers the door and a hotel worker in uniform lets in Mr. Paik.
Jae-"I'm sorry I didn't realize…”
Mr. Paik walks right into the bedroom and sees Sun in the bed wrapped in
RED sheets. He tells her to get dressed and walks out.
Suns face initially shows shame, but then...
Sawyer and Kate are led to an area where many people are
at work with
building something. They are
grating and pounding down the ground.
Danny instructs the two- "Alright here's the
gig,
see these rocks here, that's where you
two come in. {
He points to Kate}
"You're gonna chop em loose, {points to Sawyer} "You're gonna haul em outta here."
Kate comments about her
working in a dress.
Danny tells her it's up to her; she can take it off if she wants. Sawyer wouldn't mind one bit if she took it off! {
Ah, true love. Uh...Or lust}
Danny goes on to instruct them if they need anything they must
raise their hand and they get
10 minutes for
lunch.
Like a student in school Sawyer
raises his hand but Danny says "
No Questions".
Sawyer (
child-like) says "She got to ask a
question.”
Danny not missing a beat says if they try to run off they
will be shocked.
Sawyer
mishears him thinking he says
shot, '
without a warning?'
Danny continues, if they talk, touch, slacking- if they do anything at all that pisses him off, they
will be shocked!
Kate says she's not
getting to work until she
sees Jack.
Without hesitation Danny walks up to Kate and shocks Sawyer! He tells her "That was a ¼ charge, anymore questions?"
Danny tells Sawyer when he's "
able to walk, the
wheelbarrow's right over there." (Wheelbarrow- 3 wheels.)
{
FLASH}
Jin had been summoned to Mr. Paik’s office.
Paik informs Jin "We have
a problem." He pushes a
file in front of Jin.
Jin opens
file to see there's a
picture of Jae.
Mr. Paik goes on to tell Jin that this man has been
stealing from him and he
needs Jin
to put an end to it. {
Note the liquor in the bottle behind Paik. Also the unique statues and art.}
Jin asks what he
stole.
Paik says
that's not important. Jin is told that
'delivering a message' as usual
will not suffice in this situation. He
NEEDS to put an end to it!
Jin tells him he
cannot do that.
Paik says
he can.
Jin replies that "It's not his
job to..."
Paik-"
Your job is what I say it is!"
Jin feels then he
can’t work for him anymore. Jin slams the
file down and
quits, bows to Paik and starts to walk away.
Upset Paik tells Jin - "
You don’t get to quit! This man has
shamed me."
Paik says that Jin is "married to his daughter that makes you my
son" {
as he touches Jin's right shoulder}
my shame is your shame. I
need you to restore our family's honor."
He picks up the
file and gives it back to Jin.
Jin takes it and bows to Mr. Paik.
Jin is on the sailboat cutting the
head off a
fish with a
cleaver. Sun calls him to the deck. Jin climbs up through the
hatch. Sun
points out{with 2 friggin fingers, no less}.
Sayid gives Jin the
binoculars to see the
dock with a covered area at the end.
Jin-"Others."
Sayid comments that
the docks decaying, overgrown, like it hasn't been used in quite some time, "Whoever built it they're not here now."
Sayid says they'll bring the boat in,
tie it to the
dock,
build a fire on the beach, the
visibility's excellent, Jack
will see them for miles.
Jin- "
Safe?" in
English.
Sayid-"Of c
ourse it's safe." {As if Jin asked a silly question!}
Kate
is chopping rocks in the
dress. Sawyer wheeling away the rocks. There is a small
fire burning. {
Why?}
Sawyer is
eying Kate's backside!
Juliet and Danny are under a covered shelter looking at what appears to be
'plans' or
blue prints/diagrams.
Danny won't stand for Sawyer taking a
breather so he demands he get back to
work! Sawyer calls him
boss. {
Again}
Rocks are thrown and sounds come from the shrubs; someone is trying to get Kate's attention. It is Alex.
Alex tells Kate to be sure they don't see them talking. Alex asks if they
are keeping her in the cages. She also asks about another guy her age named
Karl, was in there with her.
Kate says NO, it's just Sawyer and her. {
Like this girl knows Sawyer?}
Alex happens to say, "
You’re not even supposed to be in that cage."
Kat
e looks confused and asks her what she's talking about,
who are you? {
Kate's not supposed to be in there! What changed to make her be in there? Where was she supposed to be?}
Alex asks
where she got the dress because it belongs to her.
Sawyer walks over. Kate tells him to "
Quit staring at her ass."
Danny yells for them to shut up!
At the
dock, Sun
carries a
red container of
gasoline.
The
dock's sign says "
PALA FERRY".
Sayid is preparing for
start a fire. {
Again}
Sayid tells her to
help her husband; they need as much
wood as they
can find.
Su-"
We're building quite a large fire."
Sayid says
it’s so Jack will see the smoke.
Sun wants to know why he's
lying to her.
Sayid-"And
what would you know about lying Sun?"
She tells him that he's putting their lives in
danger.
Sayid shares that he is "fairly certain that our friends have been
captured. There are
tracks all over the
dock; they're fresh. As resent as yesterday."
Sun-"You said this
dock was abandoned."
Sayid-
"That would be part of the lying you mentioned."
Sun -"You're not
building this fire for
our people, you're
building it for
the Others."
Sayid-"I suspect that when they
see the smoke, they'll send a
scout party to
investigate. By then it will be night. When they arrive, I'll
ambush them. I'll take
two of them
hostage, and I'll
kill the rest."
Sun- "
Two?"
Sayid- "
One to make the other cooperate."
Sun wants to
help. Sayid is sorry, "But I'm going to have to ask you
lie to Jin for another
20 minutes."
{
Does Jin really understand English ?!}
Sayid explains to her once the
fire is lit, it will be
too late to go back. He
tosses the red gas can.
{
Flash}
Sun is looking at her
reflection in a dark
plate/dish. Jin enters through
double doors; he has a
file. Jin is
troubled.
Sun looks pretty dressed in
black and white. Jin sits at the table. {Note what appears to be 2 plates hanging on the wall- framed}
Sun
lights a match; her
hands shake.
Candles are lit. Jin mentions he saw her father today and he called him
son for the
first time.
This surprises Sun, "Why would he do that?"
Jin- "He wants me to
deliver a message."
Sun -"No. You don't."
Things aren't that simple. Sun suggests they can
start a new life. Jin feels if they
run away her father would...{
would what?}
Sun-"
He won't know where we are. And you won't have to do this anymore."
Jin-“I do this for you, Sun. I do it because your father expects it. I do this because that's what
it takes to be married to you."
Sun-"And
what does it take to be married to you?"
Pissed off Jin takes the
file and leaves to
deliver the message.
Sayid is
building his fire. Jin is pissed; he wants the "
GUN" from Sayid.
Sayid-"I don't think I
understand." {
Yeah, right.}
Jin calls for Sun and in
Korean admits to her that he knows what they are
planning. Sun shares with Sayid that Jin knows what they are doing; he knows it's a
trap!
Sun-"He says
he understands English better than I think he does {
Fucking Finally! There it is!!!} He knows
I betrayed him."
Demanding Jin says- "
Gun."
Sayid gives him the
gun. {
WOW! Jin knows how to handle that gun! Does Sayid understand Korean?}
Sayid tells Sun she'd be
safer on the boat. He also tells her, if by
chance they get past them there's another gun, it's inside the
blue tarp beneath the
Geiger counter. Sun feels if the
Others get past them that would mean her husband is
dead and
she wouldn't care anymore. Sayid reiterates the
gun is inside the
tarp. {
So does he know for sure, they will get past them?}
Danny is
working on those
blue prints again.
Sawyer
is hauling rocks. Juliet and Sawyer share a look. She
tosses him some
water in a canteen. He pours it out in
defiance.
Sawyer is
hurting for Kate; he hates to see what she is going through . Sawyer walks over to her and plants a giant loving kiss!
{Kate's kiss here is very different than her kiss with Jack. She's not uncomfortable with this kiss like she obviously was with Jack. With Jack there was confusion and a sense of 'what am I doing?' The kiss with Sawyer was almost- "Right." Not that I'm an expert judging other peoples kisses! LOL}
Danny is pissed! They run over and
knock Sawyer in the
head with the butt of a rifle. Sawyer fights back and gets possession of a rifle.
Juliet calls him
James as she has a gun pointed at Kate and Danny
Shocks Sawyer! {
Sawyer loves Kate.}
Night:
Sayid and Jin i
n the trees...
waiting.
The
fire is burning.
Sun is on the boat; she
lights a fire for cooking. Sun
hears noises on
deck. We see that people are indeed on deck. Sun retrieves the gun from the
blue tarp.
{
Flash}
Gun on top of a
picture/file of Jae, in the car. Jin sits behind the
wheel.
Jin looks in the
rear view mirror at Jae talking to a
doorman wearing a top hat. Jin heads out after him.
Jin
steps out of the elevator on the
2nd floor. {Ding!}
Jae is about to enter the
double doors {
number on the door 1516} has
key card in his hand. Jae's
head is slammed into the door; then we see Jae get
beat up inside the room.
Jin asks Jae, "
Do you know who I am? Do you know why I'm here?"
Jae crying says he's
sorry.
Jin tells him, then you know what I must do. He pulls out a gun and puts gun and pillow against Jae's
head. Jae is still
apologizing.
Jin can't do it!
Jin tells Jae, "You will
leave this country. Do you
understand me? You will
leave and never
come back. Start a new life. And if I
hear you've
returned, if you have any contact at all, I will
finish this. Am I
clear?
You don't exist!" {
WOW!!}
Jae is left crying and Jin
leaves.
We see Jin exit the building. He opens the car door, sits down. Jae
crashes down upon the
windshield of his car. Jae is holding the
pearls.
Sayid and Jin
in the trees. Sayid doesn't think they're coming.
On the boat with Others on
deck, Colleen comes
down the ladder {Again} into the
cabin. Colleen silently notes the
fire and the pot. Sun is there holding the
gun on her. Sun wants to be let off the boat. Colleen can't do that as it’s
not her decision to make. She tells Sun that
5 of her friends are
up there.
Sun wants her to
lower her voice.
Colleen tries to take a step ahead but Sun tells her stop or she'll shoot.
Colleen-"No you won't, Sun.
I know you Sun Hwa Kwon, I know you're
not a killer. Despite what you may think, I am
not the enemy, we are
not the enemy. If you shoot me that's exactly what we'll become. {
How would Colleen know all that? Hmmm?! YEAH!!!}
Colleen takes a few steps and again Sun threatens to shoot. The boat starts up and
Sun shoots Colleen. {
Sun kept her word here!}
There is a
shootout on the boat.
Sayid and Jin
hear this and run toward the boat. Sun tries to
escape!
Jin is desperately calling out for Sun!
The boat is
leaving! Shots are fired at Jin and Sayid.
Sun
escapes through the boat
hatch.
Tom sees her and shoots at her and Sun goes overboard!
Jin is yelling and swimming for her! The boat leaves! Jin fears the worst. Sun finally answers him!
She is
safe.
They are together!
{
Flash}
Emotional Sun is at Jae's
funeral; she’s standing in front of a pagoda.
Mr. Paik tells crying Sun that she "
shouldn't be here."
He is there because he does
business with the young man's
father. Paik shares with Sun he was told Jae
jumped from a balcony. He must have
felt great shame. He tells her to
go home to her husband.
Sun- "
Will you ever tell Jin?"
Mr. Paik- "
It's not my place to tell him."
Sun and Jin sit by the
fire. Jin tells her he doesn't know what he'd do with her- the
both of them. {Referring to their unborn child}
Sayid comes over apologizes for "dragging you into this, "And please
communicate to your husband that
next time I will
listen to him." {
NEXT TIME!!!! And communicate with him yourself! HA!} They have a
long walk ahead of them.
Night at the cages:
Sawyer and Kate get thrown into their
cages. Weird animal sounds can be heard.
Kate asks what he was thinking! Sawyer says she was so damn cute swinging the damn pick
ax, "
Chain gang looks good on you, Freckles."
Sawyer gets up explains to her, "
Two of those
guards have some real fight in them. The
rest of them, I
ain't that much worried bout."
He goes on to detail the
fighting style of the other guys, I.e. martial arts, etc... He tells her the
zapper things have a
safety on them. They talk about the
look on their
faces when Sawyer got the rifle. He figures they never saw any
real action, "That blond who had a gun pointed at you, she would have shot you."
Kate asks why she called him
James.
He admits that's his name and also admits she tastes like strawberries. {
WTF? When did she have strawberries? The strawberries at the Ben breakfast? Didn't she have fish biscuits since then? LOL!} Awww, he tastes like fish biscuits.
He tells her that now they wait for them to make a
mistake.
We see
TV monitors. Ben has been
watching!
Jack is on
monitor 2.
Sawyer is on
monitor 5.
There are
6 monitors.
Jack in his
glass cell still
sleeping in the corner. {
He hasn't moved the whole time? The soup is still there.}
Ben is standing there,
waking him up.
Ben brought
his own chair. Jack is
out of it, groggy.
Amused Ben says to Jack-"You know what's
crazy Jack? A
week ago you and I were in exactly the
opposite situation. I was the one
locked up and you were the one coming in for
visits. And I know that
you're angry that I
lied to you about who I was but, hell, do you
blame me? I mean let’s
face it, if I'd told you I was one of those people that you and your friends have been calling
Others all this time, it would have been right back to Sayid and his fists. Wouldn't it?
Jack-"What do you want from me?"
Ben-"I want for you to
change your
att…Perspective. And the first step in doing that would be for me to be decent enough to introduce myself
honestly, so (
he gets up, crouches down to Jack's level, extends hand to shake) Hi. My name is
Benjamin Linus and I've
lived on this Island my whole life."
Jack is
not going to shake his hand.
Ben gets up and yells "Bring it in please."
Jack asks where Kate and Sawyer are. Ben says they're fine, they're close. {
Close? Jack's not really underwater? Or That Kate and Sawyer are close-romantically?}
A
TV is brought in room; it's
behind the glass.
Ben has a
remote in his pocket and tells Jack if he
cooperates "We
send you
home."
Ben will tell him what he wants when the
time is right,
"Patience, Jack.
Patience."
Jack asks
if that's where he sent Walt and Michael.
Ben says
yes.
Jack wants to know if you could
leave the Island,
why would you still be here.
Ben- "Yes Jack,
Why would we be here?"
Jack thinks they're
stuck there just like the Castaways.
Ben recounts- "Your flight
crashed September 22, 2004. Today is
November 29, that means you've been on
our Island 69 days. And yes, we do have
contact with the
outside world." That how we know that George W. Bush was re-elected. Christopher Reeve {
SUPERMAN!} has passed away.
Boston Red Socks won the World Series.
Jack
doesn't believe the
Red Socks won
8 straight.
Ben shows him
proof on TV! Jack is
shocked.
Ben taunts him- “That's
home.
{On the other side of the glass} If you
listen to me. If you
trust me.
I will take you home."
The Glass Ballerina is a Great Episode!!!
Is Sun privy to her father’s business dealings? Is she privy to business of the "Island"? Sun has shown us since the beginning that she is a secret keeper and liar. She is capable of keeping her word as well as secrets. She is capable of at least pulling a trigger so she must be capable of throwing someone off a balcony.
Things to note...Questions to ask...
* Tarp...anagram=
TRAP. Escape. Exit.
* Sleeping. Wake up.
* Sun plays
OUT OF TEMPO with the metronome, then
STOPS it.
* Ben and the Others unaware of a sailboat? Could they not know about Kelvin or Desmond? Could this be a hint to
another group of people on the island? How many groups of residents are on this island? Maybe they all just don't know what to call each other! LOL!
* "You never made soup for me.” Is this because they shared a romance and Juliet whips up an awesome soup? Or was Ben ever in the same position that Jack is in right now? Just a question...
* For a hot tropical place all these chicks love wearing 2 shirts!
* Everybody always has a backpack! Where the hell is the backpack store on the island? They need a place to carry all their collected items. Maybe it’s just a
metaphor for carrying baggage.
* Jae's eyes are different.
* Jin understands English!
Languages understood. I think Michael understands Korean. Could Hurley really know how to speak Korean? Maybe Sayid can speak French too! Or maybe one day he'll speak with a British accent! DAMN!
*
Language/linguistics...learning
* What really happened to Jae? Did someone save Jin by finishing the job he was supposed to do? Did Jae kill himself? If not, someone had to be watching to know that Jin didn't see this job through. Did Sun do it?
* Where does Ben consider home? What is home to Ben? Where did Michael and Walt go? REALLY?
* "
The outside world."...Proof that they are '
inside' something; in an “
unreal world”.
* Video cameras everywhere, I mean everywhere around the "Island"! Ben watches them. Is there anyone watching Ben? Who is watching the watchers?
* Fire. Signal Fire. Beacon.
Light.
* The word Apollo- Apologize- Paulo. Sound kinda similar? lol
* Pearl necklace-Oysters and Pearls-
Pearl Station
* Did we ever note how Suns hair got SO long in just 69 days. I'm just saying!
* Building something. Blue prints/Diagram/Plans.
* How long has Juliet been involved with the "Island", REALLY?
* Hints to children, child-like behavior and punishment.
Learning.
* Opposition.
* They are all in a LOOP! Circle.
* Fire wood, water, walk, silence, mirror, learn.
* Map=Key
Vocabulary and Research…
*
Geiger counters are used to detect radiation, usually alpha and beta radiation, but also other types of radiation as well. The sensor is a Geiger-Muller tube.
*A
Beacon is an intentionally conspicuous device designed to attract attention to a specific location. Beacons help
guide navigators to their destinations. Types of navigation beacon include
radar reflectors, radio beacons, and sonic or visual signals. Visual beacons range from small, single-pile structures to large
lighthouses or light stations and are located on land or in water. Lighted beacons are called
lights; unlighted beacons are called day beacons. Classically, beacons are fires lit at well-known locations on hills or high places, used either as lighthouses for navigation at sea, or for signaling over land that enemy troops are approaching, and alerting the defense.
* The
Map. HM Melbourne Assessment Prison is an Australian remand and reception prison located in Spencer Street, Melbourne, Victoria.
The prison is also known by the nickname
'The Map'.

Map-In many
programming languages, map is the name of a higher-order function that applies a given function to a sequence of elements (
such as a list) and returns a sequence of results.
-
Video games, a level (also known by many other names) is a discrete subdivision of a video game's virtual world or set of challenges.
-
Map of the mind. A diagram used to represent words, ideas, tasks or other items linked to and arranged radially around a central key word or idea.
- A
pendulum is a mass (or bob) on the end of a string of negligible mass, which, when initially displaced, will swing back and forth under the influence of gravity over its central (lowest) point. The regular motion of a pendulum can be used for time keeping; pendulums are used to regulate pendulum clocks.
The most widespread application is for
timekeeping. A pendulum whose period is
2 seconds is called the seconds pendulum since each swing takes one second. Clocks that keep time with the use of pendulums lose accuracy due to friction. Pendulums are also widely used as
metronomes for musicians.
-A
metronome is any device that produces a regulated
aural, visual or tactile pulse to establish a
steady tempo in the performance of music.
Also Click track.
Tempo is always measured in beats per minute (BPM); metronomes can be set to variable tempi, usually ranging from 40 to 208 BPM.
Beat
Rhythm
A very interesting thing I want to point out is that you can always exchange the Castaways usage of the word "dock or doc" for "Jack" and the story seems to connect right back to him.
The Glass Ballerina...Has something interrupted this ballet? Who exactly is choreographing this dance?

Disclaimer: I never claim to know everything about the show and my thoughts by no means make me right! The things I share here are my views and/or opinions. I don't claim to catch every single detail either! You all know I hate spoilers! And I stand clear of reading certain sites as to not take me off my own course of research. The one thing I don't need to do here is rehash all of the obvious clues from an episode, we all know what they are. Understood? Good! Let the fun begin! I'll only note things that I know come up as clues later, but need to be noted when they first show up and things I find that will be of importance! It will get very exciting as we progress into the story.
