I've caught up with you all (everybody) - again.

After all the build up for Sun and Jin's reunion it was less than compelling. Though the image of them running towards one another with the sonic fence in between them (representing MIB I would imagine) is pretty telling, just not terribly cinematic or pretty, as most everything else on this show is.
Couldn't agree more. I missed the "deactivate" command and thought sure that Jin, Sun or both were going to get zapped. Relief quickly became disappointment in what was a very anticlimactic reunion.
Otherwise, I'm sticking with the theories I've already posted because they seem to be holding up so far. And even though I believe the split timestream will have to be rejoined into one, I have some very mixed feelings about that. Especially after Hurley and Libby finally had their beach picnic.
And a question... why does MIB need to use the airplane to get off the island? If there was a sailboat available all along, why not just use that? Is there something more we don't know yet, or is it just a plot convenience?
