You are correct. We do not know about Sun.

The Cost of Living

I was so happy to see Sayid back at the camp. I feel that we might work on getting Kate, Jack, and Sawyer back soon.

I wrote this about what Ecko’s brother said: “It is time to confess. To be judged, Brother. I will be waiting.” (It is interesting to hear the word “brother” used for a fraternal relationship when we have been hearing Desmond say ‘brother” differently.

In this episode Ecko’s fate / destiny/ luck catches up with him.
I do not understand this episode because many times we see that the island helps people heal from their past. Sometimes death means that the person has done what they needed on the island. This death feels different. I think we are to figure out that the brother was not his brother and it was the monster who was asking him to confess his sins.
This is the music playing during Ecko’s end.

Jack is doing chin up type exercises. We see him as physical and strong. Ben makes him wear a while monk-like shirt for the funeral of Colleen. Brenda Lee’s “I wonder” plays playing during the funeral. (it is beautiful and haunting. ) Maybe the song is for Ecko as well.
It is hard to know whom to trust. Everything Juliet says can be construed in several ways – even her “I hate funerals” to Jack as if it is a normal thing people say. But Juliet seems very careful about what she says.



Jack really wanted to eat that hamburger that Juliet brought him. I was almost worried that he would not get to eat it . He eats while Ben talks. There is a weird scene where Juliet talks to Jack and has him watch cards of her holding up the exact opposite of what she says. She speaks about Jack helping Ben through surgery but holds up cards in the video asking him to kill Ben by making it look like an accident.


It is cool to see Sayid and Desmond together. Sayid does not know Desmond and is not comfortable with him. I think they just meet here in this episode. Nikki and Paulo are new characters for the viewers but they have been at the camp since the beginning.
Locke and Sayid sort of explain the video communication of the hatches to Nikki and Paulo and thus to the audience. That section ends when they see another man (new character) looking at them. Your transcript is wrong in this section. The guy looking at them does not say anything. Locke says this, “I guess he'll be expecting us.”

When you watch, you cannot get a read either. It does not help that I know the actor playing Juliet from another show where she played a down to earth psychologist who was lesbian. In this role the actress is playing someone buttoned up and we cannot get a read on Juliet.
We know Ben lies.
