So this seems to confirm he is dead, right? Surely he would have shown up by now if he was alive. Kinda sad that the character did not get a greater send-off.

Daniel Day Kim is still listed in the opening credits for both episodes so whether he is dead or not, he is still a regular this season.

You know, somehow, I don't think he is. But I've been wrong before.

I wouldn't assume anything just yet, since this is LOST. However, since the freighter disappeared if he is alive he would have had to swim inside the "boundary" that Faraday talked about.

If you watched the trailer for next week...it shows Jin on the island.

well he probably got launched into the ocean from the blast and was in the radius of the island jump bubble just like Faraday

If you watch the ship blow up you don't actually see the part where he was standing "blow up". I know part of it is wishful thinking because I would love to see another sun and jin reuniting but I choose to believe he isn't dead.

I agree that his name in the credits seems to indicate a presence this season, and I just don't see him getting enough screen time if he's only in flashbacks and dream sequences. Plus, I think the love between Sun and Jin is an important element in the show, and it works thematically to have Sun enraged at his death, only to discover that he did not die...

i posted yesterday in the spoiler section

if you want to know what happens to jin he will show up in the third episode, february 4. whether he's alive on the island or a ghostie, i guess we'll find out then.

i can't imagine that it would be impossible that we didn't see him on the island if he did actually show up. they left their camp area right in the beginning where jin would have showed up if he could have. then being all alone, he could have been roaming the island with the time changing all over the place.

it is not impossible for jin to be on the island and we didn't see him.

He knew the ship was going to blow up and he didn't get on the helicopter..... my guess would be that a smart Jin jumped into the water to get off the boat. Hopefully he made it.....

But that doesn't mean he is alive by any means.
How true, so alive or dead is he jumping through time while floating out at sea? I vote that he is alive, if only due to the name in the credits.

Gonna spoil proof this just in case, but something I picked up in Lost: Destiny Calls

When they were talking about O6 Sun, they said,"....and she believes her husband Jin is dead" To me, this implies that she is wrong in her belief.

I hope not, I really like Jin, but, it's not like LOST doesn't kill off characters often (it's not a bad thing).

We'll see I suppose.

i caught that too.

and you don't have to spoiler proof if it has happened on the show. anything in the next episodes or previews should be spoiled. :confused:can be confusing. but you're right to not take the chance!

Keeping my fingers crossed that he isn't, but not too hopeful now...

LOST is one of those shows that unless you see them dead and buried, they are probably alive.
I'm so hoping he is alive.

I don't have the know how or the talent to take screen shots, but, if someone out there does...

When they show the freighter exploding, at the very back of it, and to the top, you can clearly see someone jumping off of it. Since Jin was running in that direction, I can only hope it was him.

I was trying to remember the exact wording of that spoiler line, so thanks for putting it here. But, when they said that it made me sit right straight up! That one line lets me know Jin isn't dead, that somehow he got to the island.

I caught that when Carlton said it as well. In any regard, with all this time shifting, I do think that we will see some things reversed/changed. Wouldn't it be great if they could save Charlie?

So the "rule" is you can't change the past. That's a pretty common rule in time travel stories. But what to does they always end up going... changing the past to save a loved one. I figure with Sun specifically recounting for us the events of Jin's death. This means they will go ahead and change them, keeping Jin alive.

I believe he's alive. In fact, I'm almost certain he is.

After the beautiful forgiveness scene between Sun and Jin in Ji Yeon, it strikes me as unbelievably cruel to kill him off. Especially after the bloodbath that was Season 4. :rolleyes:

Furthermore, remember back to Season 1 when Rose insisted that Bernard had survived the crash, and that they would be reunited. Although that was probably not a build-up (as it's highly unlikely that the writers had planned on "killing" Jin at that point), I think we are to take a page from Rose's book in trusting that somehow, someway, improbable as it is, Jin made it out alive.

Right. Also, they introduced "Sun and Jin" instead of just "Sun" when they were running through all of the main characters.

I noticed that too. I admit I do want Jin to be alive so I'm taking it as a hopeful sign.

I don't think that Jin is dead, but his name in the credits doesn't guarantee anything. We could run into him through wild time-travel shenanigans.

I've also noticed how Sun is almost turning ito what Jin was. If/when they reunite, is he gonna take back the new Sun?

I think he'd understand why she's doing the things she is. What Jin did was under the instructions of Sun's father, and wasn't based off his feelings about someone. He was just a muscle man for a corporation. Sun is out for revenge on the people she blames for the death of her husband and to a lesser extent, friends.

The first "spoiler" is a Dharma Special Access clip of the writers office for Lost. I don't know if this actually qualifies as a spoiler or not but oh well:

This is what you should have noticed in the clip:
A photo of Daniel Dae Kim is in the alive column

Taking into account the "we take it with us" line about the rescue raft if Jin jumped and is somehow alive floating on some debris heading back to the island. If he was within the radius he could be floating unconscious while traveling in time, it doesn't seem so impossible to me in fact I would think it to be highly probable.

I am in the camp of him being alive.
