I just finished watching and I noticed that on Jin's headstone it says 9/22/2004, the day of the crash.
Don't tell me if I'm right or wrong, but I have a nagging feeling that we're talking different levels of the Tower here (i.e. alternate realities). There was the discussion of time travel - and I just about shat when I saw that our friend Minkowski was our old dear friend Chuck Fishman from Early Edition but that's irrelevant - so I'm guessing it has something to do with that? And the panda thing was weird. Jin said he'd only been married two months? Two different realities? And I just about sobbed when Hurley came all the way to Korea to see Sun... and Jin's grave. :(
Sorry just had to put that out there. I'm going to watch yet another episode, and I've already watched 3 today.
I also did NOT like ep 6, although Ben was getting a little awesomely nutty towards the end. I just don't like Juliet that much.
and I need to see more charlie omg i cried so hard when Hurley saw him in the season premiere... best mates forever. They are my all time favorite friendship duo.
