If they know what's good for them, they should just go ahead and cast Yunjin Kim again for the U.S. version.

Yes, that's Ken pointing a gun at Jack. It looks like he's parachuted onto the island or something. Who is he? What does it all mean? It's been a long summer, and it looks like we'll be waiting even longer now for answers, with the writers' strike and all. Damn.
