Exactly. Juliet is smart and she’s improvising. The only Lostie smart enough to give her any trouble is Sayid, and I’m not convinced he’s taken in by her just yet.
Hey, this is Lost… if you want medical accuracy, watch Grey’s Anatomy!
In a previous thread I thought
someone suggested that Juliet’s sister was one of the plane crash survivors. But the video feed Juliet was shown was around the time of the plane flight, so she was not on the plane. So was Juliet’s sister one of the tailees?
And along with UncleRojelio I want to know where Juliet picked up the ninja fighting skills from last week’s episode. It seemed completely out of character for a medical researcher (although politics in academia can be vicious). Was she getting hand to hand combat training during the three years on the island? Why did they think that was necessary? Perhaps because they needed to defend themselves against those who got the illness affecting Alex’s shipmates? Or was she just learning martial arts for exercise?
It’s interesting that Ben said “look at the date, that’s today’s date” about the newspaper.
I guess it’s possible that the video footage was from the real world, and they used a paper from years earlier - but they’d have to know to save the paper from the particular corresponding day in island time after Juliet started getting suspicious about her sister.
But practically it heavily suggests that Island Time = real time.
It’s looking like something related to the regenerative properties. Juliet said something like “I thought you said you people didn’t get cancer” - the way she said it suggests that the people were there, perhaps, had terminal medical conditions that were healed by the island… and that those people had to stay there, but they couldn’t have children.
Yeah, my immediate thought was “how the hell does that thing match what was saw of the interior?”… the sub from the outside looked like a tiny sub that might hold a few people in one cramped room, rather than what was shown. Unless it’s very heavily ballasted, with only a small portion of the hull showing at the surface.
I don’t necesarily think this is anything specific to lost or has to be answered within the story.
Fiction always uses this device - the way things typically happen in any story requires a thousand coincidences that we don’t really stop to consider.
For those of you without the benefit of slow-motion replay. Here’s my review of what happened in the preview.Tourist photo of Desmond and girlfriend. Rope (cable?) being dragged through sand. Hand picking up rope (cable). Jin bent over. Hurley looking at something. Something that resembles a grey/black shark falling/sliding down a cliff (maybe). Desmond talking to Hurley. Sawyer, Charlie, Jin (pointing) and Hurley looking at something. Closeup of Jin pointing. Kate and Juliet in jungle. Closeup of Sawyer. Closeup of Jack talking to a bleached blonde (Claire?). Ominous feet but they don’t really look like barefeet. Arrow or spear. Desmond yelling. Charlie with deer-in-the-headlights look. Arrow flies. Hurley shoots a gun (appears accidental) with Jin, Sawyer and Charlie in background. Jin on ground grabbing a stick from someone. Juliet open NORAD door from War Games. Sun borrows Charlie’s headlight look. Man with knife. Zoom in on Locke. Sawyer and Kate kissing. Kate’s hand headed toward Sawyer’s nether regions. Legs dangling in the air (not Sawyer or Kate’s). Charlie looks like he was caught mid-hurl. SOS. Something that resembles a grey/black shark falling/sliding down a cliff (maybe). SOS. ARDIL-22. SOS. Hand of Sun’s mouth. Sun talking to Kate. Jack and Juliet eating on beach. Sawyer hits Locke with rock. Locke with a knife to his throat. Sawyer screaming something in Korean.
Is there anyone left of the tailies? Just Bernard and Rose, right?
Do they know that Godwin killed the guy he killed?
By the way, I forget, why did he kill him?
-FrL-
When Sawyer offered to get the aspirin, Kate and Jack hadn’t returned yet, so Sawyer was still playing the “leader” role that Hurley had cast him in after the “vote you off the island” con. And when Jack does show up on the beach, Sawyer looked genuinely disappointed, like he was getting comfortable in his new role and didn’t want to let it go so soon.
I’m pretty sure that the date on the newspaper was September 22, 2004.
As far as Sun and Jin know, Jin can shoot only blanks, so the likeliest explanation is that Sun’s affair with Jae Lee bore fruit. Or a miracle has occurred, which is the explanation that Jin adopts when he and Sun reconcile in her garden, and Sun tells him that she is pregnant and swears that she has not been with another man.
The stewardess is with the others.
Bernard should know that Godwin killed that guy as should other people that Ana Lucia talked to. I think that Godwin said the guy was “bad”.
Only Bernard was a tailie.
IIRC Godwin killed him then hid the body. That way Ana Lucia would continue to think the other guy was one of them. She thought he escaped and he wasn’t around to defend himself, therefore AL wouldn’t realize her mistake and start looking for the bad guy somewhere else.
They are trying to save the world. What does it matter if a few people get hurt along the way? You can’t make an omlet without cracking a few skulls.
Well, now we know the significance of Sawyer’s reading Watership Down… 
Yeah, the day the plane crashed. And we’ve known since the end of season 2 that Island time = real time because of the computer printouts that showed the dates.
I don’t think Jin knows. The doctor made a point of telling only Sun.
No, as far as Sun knows Jin is impotent, Jin doesn’t know that. The doctor told them both that Sun was unable to get pregnant and only told Sun (alone) about Jin later. He said that he was afraid of Jin’s reaction if he told the truth.
For at least part of the time that Sun was with Jae, she thought she couldn’t get pregnant.
DHARMA is trying to save the world, not necessarily the Others. It’s becoming clear that the Others are the group that DHARMA called “The Hostiles” and that they aren’t the same group and don’t necessarily have the same agenda.
Ah yes. Thanks. I couldn’t remember all this.
Assuming that the pregnancy problem truly occurs at conception*, and the late Jae Lee is the father of Sun’s child, then Sun is in no danger with her pregnancy.
*Juliet’s attribution of Claire as a control subject reinforces that this is what Juliet and the Others believe.
If the Others aren’t trying to save the world, then why would they believe themselves to be the “good guys”? I think they view DHARMA as among the “bad guys”.
Didja ever know *anyone * that thought they, themselves, were the bad guys?
If Sun got pregnant before the crash, she’d better start showing soon. She’s a mighty slim lady to be hiding a four month oven bun.
