Fuck.
But hasn't it been implied that once Sayid "died" (or whatever you call what happened to him in the temple) that he's no longer a candidate? And as far as Jin goes, maybe he wasn't the candidate, maybe it was Sun - that was never made clear.Like how they can't kill themselves. Neither Sayid nor Jin seemed to have any problems with that one.
It was stated indirectly. Jacob's touch prevents them from killing themselves. Remember back when Michael was trying to off himself? Same deal with Locke, last season.
Wow, somebody's finally listening to reason!

And you would have thought she would have wanted him to survive to raise their daughter.
Their first language is Korean. Especially Jin's.
Every conversation they had since they were reunited would have been in Korean. I kept expecting to need to read subtitles. But they kept speaking in English.
bad writing.

You are right, she would have told him he had to go and live, for the daughter.
Or, maybe the writers know that due to the majority of the audience, they need to pick and choose the parts where they use subtitles very carefully and sparingly?
I'm also not happy about MIB being finally exposed as a flat-out villain, which definitely removes the shading from the whole Jacob conflict.
This episode had a lot happen, but I think most of it was handled pretty sloppily. The off-island stuff was better, but not by much.
Pretty poor episode...
One thing I couldn't help but think of, was why is Lost sticking to the typical formula of killing off the minorities first...

They sure didn't use it carefully and sparingly at the beginning of the show, when the audience was a lot larger and probably less-likely overall to sit through subtitled scenes. By contrast, I don't think the current audience are casual viewers, and considering all the things that people have had to carry in their heads and figure out this whole time, reading a few subtitles is going to frustrate anyone invested in these characters.
If nothing else, I'm hoping that Jacob will eventually be confirmed as the douchebag I think he is, and that Jack'll just be like, "Yo, fuck this, after all. I'm re-flip-flopping. Let's smash some more magical mirrors and blow this popsicle stand. Kate, I still love you. Or something. I don't know. Anyway, let's ride!" Seems to me like Jacob has caused at least as much misery as Smokie, even if he hasn't really killed anybody or been as active about it.
All this.
