I love strong!Sun, too, so it makes me incredibly happy to know that you think I did a good job with her. I'dhoped she'd get there eventually, and the glimpse we saw of present-day Sun showed, I think, that she's definitely there now. I couldn't decide whether to interpret her meeting with Charles Widmore as a genuine attempt to make an alliance with him, or someting else both more sinister and more protective of the island. I tend to think of Widmore as a bad guy, though (totally at odds with his daughter Penny), so I wanted to have Sun plan to double-cross him. We already saw her take English lessons in her aborted attempt to (in a way) double-cross Jin, so we know she's capable of it.
And OH, THANK YOU for mentioning the flower. I hoped SO MUCH that people would "get it" that every time she's found the courage to put her faith in Jin -- even against all odds -- it's been after he gave her a flower. I wanted it to foreshadow the choice she has to make, and you got it! *hugs you tight tight tight!*
