Eh, you could be right. I’m not really trying to debate that idea logically, it’s just kind of the way I feel the writers might want to take this. It’s not like the whole story hangs together logically anyway.
I’m suprised that Kate didn’t search Juliet’s clothes for the handcuff key for the get go. Why wouldn’t she assume she was Juliet’s prisoner given that Juliet is an Other?
When Kate were running from the TCM, they were inside the fenced area (where the Others camp was located), no? Later it chased them out. So how did they end up back at the OtherCamp? Wouldn’t they have had to go back INTO the fenced area again?
I have a hard time believing that the paparazzi aka black smoke can eviscorate a human being. (Yeah, I know.)
Sawyer’s going to have to come up with some sort of scheme to win back Sun’s affection.
Not one, but several federal agents staking out Kate’s mother’s house 24/7? Totally unrealistic. (This was before the bank robbery, right?)
This made me laugh out loud and caused my coworkers to raise an eyebrow.
Hey, did anyone notice that the TCM sounded rather different this time? There were some of the same noises, but others that I hadn’t heard before. I seem to remember it sounding just the same every other time we encountered it.
And as I’m fond of saying… rain is never a good think on The Island. Bad things happen when it rains.

Yeah, but he knows he’ll never beat “Turnip-Head”.
Juliet might have objected to that. Or if you meant, while Juliet was ‘unconscious’
(which I don’t think she really was) – we saw how Juliet reacted when Kate just tried to take the knife, which was sticking out from her pocket. I don’t think Kate could have managed an airport-security style grop… erm… pat-down without Juliet noticing.
No – they were outside the perimeter in the jungle when they were running from the TCM. They saw the perimeter fence, Juliet knew it was off, urged Kate to the other side (inside) and activated it. The TCM chased them in, not out.
Yes, has to be before the bank robbery. Because the robbery was after Tom died (which was when she went back to see her dying mother) – and that was after the events of this flashback.
Except for Locke. He seems to like it when it rains. Even from the first time (pilot episode), when he was sitting on the beach soaking it up ecstatically, while everybody else was running for shelter.
That, too, was a factor. 
:eek:
Oh, you guys!
No, but tryin’s half the fun for the viewers. First she shimmies up the tree, now she does the wet and messy catfight thing. I’ve got no problem with further such artifices. I say pat away! 
They had to essentially climb over the pole to get between the gaps of the … transmitters? Maybe there’s only a few feet of dead zone above the poles, and the TCM didn’t want to risk trying to squeeze through it.
Perhaps they need an active manipulator - someone to lie to them about the Others and steer them away from doing certain things, or something along those lines.
This is true in that she’s probably lying, but she may not be lying entirely. They may have indeed, abandoned her - she just woke up first and attached herself to Kate in a desperate attempt not to be left completely alone. In that case, the lying would be that she just happened to wake up handcuffed to Kate, but this isn’t necesarily evidence that Juliet is a plant.
I know, that part was so absurd that I almost laughed at it when it happened.
“Okay, so 6-10 FBI guys are constantly staking out this place for MONTHS AT A TIME in the hopes of catching an ordinary murderer? Right.” - think about how many man-hours would be wasted for little reason.
It might’ve been vaguely believable if one or two people were there, but several teams in cars, ready to pounce, was totally over the top.
Before he called Hurley “Rotund” he looked at his watch and said something like “since I can’t make any nicknames for 3 days, 8 hours, 32 minutes…”
Juliet should be going back with the Losties… as their prisoner, to be interrogated. To carry her back as an equal, or something, is foolish. As usual, Sayid was the only one acting rationally - although he wanted to leave her behind entirely, which would be a bad idea because of what she knows.
Has it been determined how the Others know so much about the pasts of the Losties?
It was a little unnerving to hear Juliet rattle off all the things she knew about Jack.
Also Locke’s snooty judgmental diatribe to Kate concerning how he now knew what she had done and why she was therefore unacceptable to the Others. Really bizarre.
What are all these sidelong glances and smiles between Sawyer and Sun? I don’t get that at all.
Any ideas on what the light flashes were from TCM when he was looking in at Juliet and Kate? Digital pictures to post on his website?
I don’t think she was smiling at him. When Sawyer was trying to be “nice” to everybody, and he smiled her way, she noticed and her face got kind of stony and cold. She’s still not happy after learning in the last episode (from Charlie) that Sawyer and Charlie made that little plan where Charlie attacked her and dragged her off a little and made it look like the Others did it. Back when Sawyer was plotting to get all the guns.
BTW, nobody definitively said they weren’t moving to Suburbia, I don’t think. All they said were things about having to get back to the others, to the beach, whatever.
Which makes sense – it’s not like they have cell phones and sent the other Losties a text message about ‘found a great new home, come running.’ No matter what, they have to go to the beach, tell the others what happened, and only then can they decide if they’d rather move bases.
I don’t believe it has been determined.
I think it has to do with Desmond-like “time travel”.
Booby-trapped by Dharma. But we don’t know why he didn’t discover said self-destruct mechanism.
Before the purple sky, they had instantaneous contact with the world and could have compiled data on all the Losties from the intarweb.
I’m thinking that the TCM is either native to the island, or a Dharma creation. Not Other.
For the same reason that neurologists have been hanging around with Buddhist monks.
Locke has a better intuitive sense of what the island “personality” wants than Ben, and he may have had more direct ‘contact’ by communing with the smoke monster and vision-Boone. But the Others, especially Ben, know much more about the empirical history of the island, DHARMA, their own group, and some other island secrets. Locke has a better ‘feel’ for things but the Others have better ‘data’.
The line from Alex about Ben “making people do things and having them think it was their idea” comes to mind. It’s likely Juliet has been conning him this whole time, or Ben has been conning the both of them, creating and exploiting their relationship for his own gain (why else would he bring Juliet halfway across the island to ogle some guy for 30 seconds?).
