Omg I started reading your comment just as that part you're talking about came up and before I finished your comment I was like "the smoke monster!!!!"

@@gretchenortner spooppyyyyy

Time stamp?

I’ve watched the full series but I think a lot went over my head, do you mind explaining your comment to me please? ( maybe put a spoiler tag )

@@charlieg2262 Spoilers: I think they're referring to MIB's (Christian) motives for getting John off the Island. He needs him to bring back the other candidates so he can finish his plan. I also think he can't help John up because it goes against the rules. He's not allowed to touch or harm the characters until they're not candidates anymore. So in context, it seems like he wants to help John. But really, he wants John and the others to die to fulfill his plans.

@@ryanl9224 Yeah, he just get John off the island to get killed, since he can't do it himself, plus if anyone attempts to kill him the island will heal him.

I don't think it was successful BECAUSE of the 'mystery box' but in spite of it.

@@kereminde I agree.

Yes. I have worked with a woman last november during 10 days. And I am not sure I could recognize her if I met her on the street. So, imagine someone 16 years ago during several hours, impossible.

I don't know about you, if I was a French woman in a group of other French people and a Korean man washed up next to me in the ocean and I spent at least a few hours with him, I would remember who he was, especially when I saw only one other Korean man after that for the rest of my life. I would probably remember him and make that connection.

@@gretchenortner I appreciate the opportunity to discuss this a bit more. This is what I'll call _fourth wall thinking._ Thinking like a television viewer. Not only are we watching these moments back-to-back, but we're looking at actors we've seen over and over and over again. Instead of living day after day, week after week, month after month and year after year without a photo, nor a reason to focus on this particular person. Could someone have a vague recollection that there was also an Asian fellow that they had met once? Sure. But they'd be hard-pressed to hold that person's exact image in their head without a photograph. . .or as I pointed out previously, _thinking about them on a regular basis while trying to survive on an island all alone for years._ Once they did see this man again, assuming they somehow remembered exactly what he looked like. . .the fact that he looks just like the man they had met decades before without aging, would likely mess with their perception a bit as well. Perhaps it should also be noted, studies have shown that mistaken eyewitness testimony accounts for about half of all wrongful convictions. And those are people who have been seen doing something rather remarkable (i.e., crime) and the witnesses are _wanting to remember_ what those others look like. And we're not talking decades between sightings. Ultimately, I just feel it's easier said than done. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Again, thank you for the opportunity to talk about this further. Even if I did seem to get a bit redundant.

Rousseau and Jin almost never met in the first four seasons. The only scene where they are together was at the end of season 3, when Jack brings a group of people to show them his plan about the dynamite. Then too, it was a group thing, and Jin wasn't really at the forefront. A few hours later, Jack decided that Rousseau would lead everybody to the radio tower. Jin stayed behind to shoot the explosives. Then after a brief reunion of the beach group and the radio tower group in the jungle in the middle of the night, Rousseau went with Locke, and Jin stayed behind with Jack. A few days later she was killed by Keamy's men. Before that, the only time she had gone to the survivor's camp was at the end of season 1 when she went to tell them that the others were coming. I don't think the camera showed Jin, and in the very next scene, we see him working on the raft (which was at a short distance from the main campsite). So there are two possibilities. Either he was working on the raft. Or he was at the scene (even though the camera didn't pick him up). But then he would be one person in a crowd of about 40 people Other people had much moresignificant (and extended interactions) with her. It would have been weird if she had met them and didn't at least look at them weird. Sayid Hurley - Went to ask her about the numbers. Claire - Was saved by Rousseau and went to the medical hatch with her. Kate - Went with Claire and Rousseau to the medical hatch. Went with her to find the Others' camp. Locke - Went with her to find the Others' camp. Jack and Juliet - Secretly asked her to get dynamite from the Black Rock to blow up the others when they came to take the pregnant women. Jin was within 20-30 yards of her for a few hours that one day. And it was established that she was the one rigging explosives to the tents before the plan to go to the radio tower came about. Not that difficult to imagine that she never really paid much attention to Jin.

@@salilmishra12 Agree. And Jin doesn't look the same (short hair, costume) in Season 1. Also, even though Rousseau thinks Jin looks like the sailor the crew rescued, he's too young since 16 years has passed for her, and so for the sailor. Also, and it happens in S5E12, Ben told her not to try to interfere with the Others when he kidnapped Alex. So, if she thinks Jin is an Other, she doesn't want to destroy his cover, on pain of retaliation. That’s why she doesn’t say a word about Jin may be. So may be she recognizes him or not, but she doesn’t say nothing, which is logic in both ways. imo.

C’est vrai. La vieille Rousseau, puisque croate, avait un accent terrible. Et là, c’est du québécois. Mais la jeune Rousseau et son mari qu'elle tue parlent assez bien, je trouve.

@@youtpfpm6097 Oui. C'est le blond qui est vraiment incompréhensible, je trouve. Il m'a plutôt l'air d'un comédien anglophone qui a appris son texte phonétiquement avec un prof québécois.

@@romaina.6241 et il n'y a pas que le français. Il y a un type qui parle arabe et qui fait des réactions sur Lost qui pense que Sayid et les autres personnages qui parlent arabe sont très mauvais quand ils le parlent.

@@youtpfpm6097 Je veux bien te croire.

No, it's 11.

Do you really think it's the editor's decision on how much footage of the show is shown?

@@kennayy4394 yes. I've heard other reactors say sometimes their videos are short because of the editor of that individual task. The videos used to be longer. You really can't get much of the story, or reaction when it's that short. Half the time is spent reviewing it after the episode.

I'm sure Eric does, but he's preserving the twist for Rick until it's revealed.
