I am – Hercules!!

ABC says of tonight’s episode, titled “This Place Is Death”:

Locke takes on the burden to stop the island's increasingly violent shifts through time. Meanwhile, Ben hits a roadblock in his attempt to reunite the Oceanic 6 and bring them back to the island. Guest starring are Rebecca Mader as Charlotte Lewis, John Terry as Christian Shephard, Fionnula Flanagan as Eloise Hawking, William Blanchett as Aaron, June Kyoko Lu as Mrs. Paik, Melissa Farman as young Frenchwoman, Guillaume Dabinpons as Frenchman #1, Marc Menard as Frenchman #2, Bruno Bruni as Frenchman #3 and Jaymie Kim as Ji Yeon. "This Place is Death" was written by Edward Kitsis & Adam Horowitz and directed by Paul Edwards.

Thoughts:

1) If Locke manages to stop the island's increasingly violent shifts through time before we learn of Richard Alpert and Smokezilla’s secret origins, I will be peeved.

2) Is Christian Shephard still just a Jack-vision this week or do we get to see him on the island in some past era?

3) Jaymie Kim is at least the third Kim to play a Kwon.

3a) June Kyoto Lu, who plays Sun’s mom for the third time tonight, went by the name “June Kim” from 1962 to 1986. Her “June Kim” phase stretched from four appearances on “Burke’s Law” (she played “girl on beach”) to a prominent role in the series finale of “M*A*S*H” (still the most-watched episode of a TV series ever broadcast). Here she is, all hot and corpselike in a 1965 episode of “I Spy”:

4) Lostpedia posts unanswered questions about Eloise Hawking, none of them being “Isn’t she Daniel Faraday’s mom?”:

How does she see Desmond's/other people's futures?

Who appointed her as a "temporal policeman" and what is her connection to the Island?

Why does she appear in a photo with Brother Campbell?

Did she work in the store the first time Desmond went to buy the ring?

What is her connection to Ben and the Island?
