In Translation EXPLAINED

How do you redeem an unsympathetic character and make the audience care? LOST nails it in the hugely underrated '...In Translation'. The raft burns, Jin takes the blame, and tensions with Michael hit boiling point, forcing Sun to finally find (and use) her voice. We shall discuss the nature of these conflicts and how they relate to group dynamics, "othering", and mob justice, as well as dealing with the divisive Sayid/Shannon romance (Shayid as I like to call them), since they make things official in this episode, plus some further analysis of Locke's role as therapist to the Castaways.
