OOOOOOOO - again so good. Juliet backstory. Ben is crazy!! I can't wait to find out how he manipulated Said. And we know now that OC dad is the boat. I don't understand how whitmore is going to turn the island into a tourist trap so that people can get better from sickness. They haven't proven that if you leave you will still be better, and what about the whole time shifting issue? How would people have a constant. I don't think it will work but interesting story arc.

2 Islands!!

It is driving me crazy that the barracks are suppossedly on a second island, but this seaon people travel between the 2 so easily without canoeing etc.  How did Kate get back?  How did they move the 30 or so Locke followers- one by one on canoe?  I feel like they think of every detail so why are we suppossed to assume they are on the same island suddenly

they are

it was only the little holding place and the zoo that were on the other island. the barracks have always been on the big main island that the beach is on.  and they are seasoned trackers / hikers now, so they get around much quicker.

Kind of pooey

Maybe we are spoiled now but I thought it was the dullest episode of the season so far. Maybe last year it would have been considered good but I didn't love it. My favorite part was them kissing at the end, i thought her confession was nice. Otherwise i feel like we all knew it was penny's father's boat and nothing else really happened.

Widmore

The reveal last night may not have been the most dramatic, since they were hinting at his involvement last week, but I wouldn't believe Ben for a minute.  I still don't think we know close to anything about Widmore's involvement with the Island (was that 1996 Desmond that was getting beaten up on that video?).  As far as the ep being a bit slow, this show used to do that right before a big episode/cliffhanger.  Because of the writer's strike its hard ot tell where in the season they are (i.e. would this originally have been leading up to some sort of huge episode) so maybe that's what was going on.

I've got my money on Michael being Ben's man on the boat.

yes - ben says it's not who you think

got to be michael.  it's got to be!  would make sense too, since he's been to the island and back.

big question - harper appears in the rain in the middle of the field when juliet hears the whispers.  if she's a figment of their imagination, how did jack see her?  if she's real, why aren't they more puzzled that she appeared and disappeared out of nowhere?  they just sort of accept it without question.

Right before she appeared Juliet was hearing those whipers that we have heard before in connection with the Others' prior appearances in the jungle as well as the smoke - there's no reason to think she's not alive since we know that there were a bunch of "Others" that we never saw die but we haven't seen for awhile (i.e. Richard) but was she there in flesh and blood or as an apparition?   Either way, she has her own freaky little leit motif.

 Speaking of Harper - she told Juliet that it was no surprise Ben liked her, since "she looked so much like her."  Who did she mean?  Ben's mother?  Another chick that had been on the Island before Juliet?

 

yes

i wondered about the "her" too.  we also know the others are out on the island, since ben and john mentioned they are out there and ben said if they wanted him, they would have stormed for him by now.  but harper made clear that ben is communicating with them and he's where he wants to be. (btw, harper is dennis leary's wife on rescue me, that was driving me crazy). i think they accepted her quick appearance and disappearance b/c that's what the others do - always have and are good at it. was that desmond getting beat up by the way?? i didn't think so. and i def thought it was michael, right away. UNLESS sayid somehow managed the time travel thing and it is actually him, since we know in the future he works for ben. locke is driving me crazy again. and i think ben is telling the truth about widmore, but he is not by any stretch telling everything he knows.
