(THESE ARE NOT SPOILERS!!!! These are just RECAPS, thoughts and predictions of what we have seen in LOST. PLEASE DO NOT GIVE ANYTHING AWAY SINCE WE DO NOT WATCH PREVIEWS, ABC SUCKS IN GIVING A LOT AWAY!)
LOST BLOG
Good episode? Yeah! Good episode!!!! But, did we get duped with TWO Juliet flashbacks this early in the season. The ONE character, besides Ben, that needs to keep us hanging on with was Juliet. We could have used a Sawyer flashback or a Jin/Sun flashback this week, and maybe hit us HARD with Juliet, but the pacing in this season is incredible. (Always has been for most of the doubters prior.) So we were hit VERY HARD with some familiar faces, and some secrets revealed that were predictions whispered on the couch while we were watching Season 1.
One thing I did LOVE about this episode was, ALL the hints, secrets, theories, puzzles, were in the flashbacks really. Maybe all but the marking on the tree (similar to Juliet’s back), this episode’s secrets was all flashback. BUT, what did we get out of this episode that focused so much on Juliet and the secrets of the Others?
THIS IS WHAT I GOT FROM: “One Of Us”
JACK and KATE
Nothing gets solved here, just some recapping and maybe reassuring us Jack is still one of the Flight 815 survivors. This whole scene and the last scene helps us realize how much one man can take, and soon we will see how more he can’t take. Jack’s pretty angry and honestly, he doesn’t need to take this shit from anyone. 3 months ago he started a new life clean slate and already he has been broken hearted. I DO NOT want to be around that island when Jack discovers Juliet’s true plans. “Don’t trust a word she says” may be the only once of truth out of Ben’s mouth.
HERARAT AVIATION
And the pilot will be Noah himself. Okay! Three things I got from the name HERARAT was, ONE – Juliet IS a rat (her a rat). And TWO – Ararat was the resting place for Noah’s Ark after the floods. Tsunami anyone? Floods? I’m telling you. THREE – ANAGRAM TIME – Earhart, as in Amelia Earhart, who mysteriously died over the Pacific Ocean in 1937. The name Herarat is a pretty shady/shit name for an aviation company. Don’t Google this one, no fake websites.
SUBMARINE
Jim pointed this out, MAYBE the submarine NEVER moved. And YES, of course it didn’t. I agree with Jim on this one. Juliet was transported by Herarat Aviation and taken on the island for her to believe SHE TOO cannot get off the island. Ben has this whole “warden” persona, and uses it to have the upper hand on anyone. Another thing, HOW GORGEOUS was that shot of the submarine and the island?!?! WOW! Does anyone remember Skeleton Crew by Stephen King and the whole teleportation story “The Jaunt.” Great collection. “The Monkey” and “The Raft!!!!” Read some of these.
REUNION
So Jack, Kate, Sayid are back home, and this time they brought a friend and Jack almost has to ask the camp, “Can we keep her, huh, can we, please? I promise she’ll be good. She won’t shit on the rug”, or sand for that matter. I guess she might have to now.
But she was good, for the most part. Saved Claire’s life, right? Hmmm. But there was something more deep down that confused me and that was Jack’s “Do you trust me?” attitude or more fright than anything. Fright of losing everyone’s trust?
It’s been 18 days since Jack was at camp, and kidnapped from the Others. Everyone seemed happy to see him, but we didn’t hear “Jack guess what?” and “You’ll never guess what Hurley did!!!” or even “Nikki and Paolo, these two died from, blah blah blah.” None of that. Jack must realize that his position as leader might have diminished, since it’s been 3 months and everyone might start taking control of their own destiny on the island. Everything Jack stands for to the Losties, s slowly going away.
EXCEPTION CONCEPTION
We know this whole being pregnant on the island is a no no. But, how were Karl and Alex born on the island? Were they BEFORE the “Purge” and was this why the island was under quarantine? Alex and Karl, we need MORE!
BEN IS VIP, An A-LISTER
Ben=Puffy Combs on Loyalty Island! Get with Ben and your name is on the “list.” The scene with Juliet on the rocks watching the water was pretty intense. This was Ben’s lying and conniving ways on steroids. Sabine, Mikhail, Jacob all in ONE conversation, wow Ben, who else are we missing?
Sabine? Who? I think it was referenced to one of the greatest love stories ever told “Griffin and Sabine” of two people corresponding through postcards, and their love goes full-force in some mysterious ways. But, Sabine lives on an island and is a stamp maker. Soul mates, or “a figment of my imagination” accuses Griffin to Sabine. READ this! Excellent. Great reference.
Mikhail. Yes we heard his name before, I mean shit, we watch the man die, BUT what is all this we see him doing? (more to come). And JACOB AGAIN!!!! Whoohoo, now he cures cancer. Is that what he was doing while trying to get his LOVE Rose onto the island. Jacob, we’ll call Bernard for now, went to meet Rachel, bumps into Rose, and we have a love story. He takes Rose to, wait, this not a recap, this is a theory. (more to come, someday, I love to tease ya!)
AND THE AWARD GOES TO?
Wow! Wow! WOW! That scene where Juliet tells Ben he has cancer, the argument that rears its ugly head, and some acting that BLEW ME AWAY. Some of the best acting we have seen YET on this show, and I guarantee we will see some Emmy noms and Golden Globe noms for this season going to Michael Emerson and Elizabeth Mitchell. Congrats to them for this remarkable episode.
MIKHAIL
Oh man. This man was a loose canon. Itchy trigger finger for Sayid, knows more than meets the eye with Locke, tells his co-worker to kill him, but it’s Locke who kills him. What gives? Why did Mikhail want to die so bad? AND, how did Mikhail KNOW that Sayid, Locke and Kate were coming to move all the screens and video console by the time they got there. Mikhail had a bad-ass hatch, and it seems it got stripped down somewhat after the crash. I REPEAT, he wants to die so bad, but why? What did these “hostels” do to him? Did he do something like Juliet, and still not forgiven Mikhail for his mistakes? Did Mikhail kill someone too? Why the patch? Cyclops? Ha! Sorry.
THE SAWYER/SAYID SHOW
These two should take their little act on the road. But, once you get a heckler like Juliet, and it’s all over. Wow! For a second I think I could hear EVERYONE watching the show gasp for something major going to happen. But it’s Juliet who turns the tables and amazes us, and truly amazes herself as well. Will we be seeing more of Sawyer and Sayid together, working together, some foreshadowing here?
JULIET HATES FREAKS, I MEAN LOSTIES
“One Of Us” huh? Jim and Jaosn were over last night and when we get into conversations about films, it gets crazy. But one film didn’t strike any nerves last night and seems no one owns this on DVD. What’s wrong with us!?!?!
The 1932 film “Freaks” (a must see for all of you David Lynch fans) has this remarkable and most stand out lines in the film “One of us, one of us.” This line is used and repeated by some of the cast members (freaks if you will), in the marriage scene where Cleo marries Hans. Cleopatra never intended to be with Hans, cause she loved, but for the fact of money. Cleopatra never liked the circus freaks anyway. Well, later on Cleo is brutally attacked when the circus freaks find out about her evil ways and make Cleopatra deformed, making her “One Of Them.”
How does this connect with Juliet? Well we have two theories here. Juliet is LYING to Ben and going to go behind his back and save the “Losties”, or if the reference sticks true, then Juliet is evil, hates the Losties and is only doing it for Ben’s (something), and the Losties will attack, and you don’t want that, duh duh dun uh.
THE LAST SCENE
Let’s think about this. HARD! Ben has this whole plan of the injecting Claire WEEKS before this conversation with Juliet. He KNEW damn well that the injection planted in Claire would give way and make her sick on point, and precise. 48 hours yes, but to implant her weeks ago to get Juliet over there. COME ON!
He knew what he was doing pre-flight. Getting Rose on that flight for Jacob, I mean BERNARD. Making Flight 815 crash, and how? Oh man, I have a SURPRISE for you tomorrow! One thing that makes me go, “OH MAN no WAY!!!!!” in that scene is when Ben says “Claire should be symptomatic in 48 hours”, Juliet looks at Ben then looks up thinking “Oh man, you are an asshole buddy, and if you think you are taking me with you, you’re taking the piss, ya dummy!” Re-watch that scene! I have a feeling we may have one of the greatest cliff hanging season finales known to man.
WHAT YOU TALKING ABOUT, LOST!
Juliet (to Rachel) – “I’m never going to fit in with these people” Eh, probably not, but you are doing an amazing job showing them both sides of the story. One day you want to stay on the island and have sexy time with Goodwin, and another day you want off the island so bad, you are grabbing Ben by the shirt crying into his chest.. These Mitelos Bioscience/Hostels know what they want, and Juliet seems to still not know what’s going on.
Juliet (to Richard) – “I didn’t even know they had an airport out here.” Submarine huh? Hell no! They flew Juliet out there. To a submarine, that doesn’t even work? Need to work? Should work? Have to work? (more in the Unanswered questions). You might not be able to fly planes onto to Loyalty Island, so where does this submarine park itself?
Richard Alpert (to Juliet) – “I know six months sounds like eternity, but you’ll be amazed on how time flies once your there.” Once again, TIME is not on your side Juliet. What does this mean? Time flies! All these references on time. Is Juliet enslaved by time and space? I don’t think so.
Juliet (to Hurley) – “I had the day off” What is this? Was this her sarcasm to fit in? Did she really have the day off that day while everyone else was busy whispering in the woods and kidnapping our Lostie friends? I found this interesting. Maybe nothing at all.
Ben (to Juliet) – “Unless you don’t have faith in him.” Man! Faith in Jacob? Ben gets kind of weird with Jacob. But with Ben, I don’t think there is faith. He has the WHOLE thing planned out. I mean, Mikhail had this amazing equipment to watch people and news. And that is taken away from him when Ben says so. Ben has so much up his sleeve, and the Flame Hatch isn’t even the least bit of it. Where did they go now?
Juliet (to Goodwin) – “Karl developed some X-Rays for me” Karl did what? First time we met this chump he was reading “A Brief History In Time” guarding the Room 23 main door. So, is he a tech, nurse, doctor’s assistant? What’s up with Karl, is he more than meets the eye?
Ben (to Juliet) - Maybe there’s one on that plane! He’s not asking if there is a pregnant woman on the plane, or questioning it. HE KNOWS there is. Ben knows all. Ben is on time and on point with everything. He knows there’s some pregnant women on the plane.
Juliet (to Ben) – I’m fine” Ben gets through all the plans and how things are going to roll out with the Juliet being one of them. But WOW JULIET, you don’t look fine, you look as if you may have been brainwashed or giving a less hearted robotic answer. RE-WATCH THIS SCENE. WOW! Friggin intense. GREAT!
Ben (to Juliet) - “See you in a week” Ben assures Juliet after the pans are done and she is made camp with the Losties, he’ll see her in a week. Not if Penny and her trusty boat can help it. This will give us 6 episodes and 6 days for something major to happen. That takes us to, one of my favorite sections of the blog.
PREDICTIONS:
- Juliet will cave in and a boat coming to take Desmond away means a HUGE chance for her to get off the island.
- In 6 days (that’s how many episodes are left anyway), a boat will come to get Desmond off the island, this will get in Ben’s way of his plans and keeping Juliet there and his rabbits Sun and Claire. Don’t blow this one up Locke.
- The Desmond flashback needs to be right around the corner and needs to explain more on his “time and space” condition (that was ONCE LOCKES!!!) and the military.
- It takes two to tango might be a huge discovery for me while watching Lost. We see Juliet’s face when she realizes how bad she’s going to HURT Jack, and the tie of the knot. But, we have yet to see Jack’s face. Jack knows better, he was hurt by so many people, may he have learned his lesson with Kate. Probably not, but it takes two to tango!

HUGE THEORY/PREDICTION BLOG TOMORROW!!!!
UNANSWERED QUESTIONS
- How can Mitelos, Flight 815 or Hostels fly out to the island, but no one else can?
- Where the hell is Rousseau?
- Sabine died on the operating table, BUT how far was she? Did she have the baby?
- Did Ben really know about the tumor in his back? Make it happen?
- Has Jack been faking it?
- Where is this island? Hmmm? We’ll talk more tomorrow!!!
Thanks everyone!!! Great episode, and I think this one will bring us to third base, and soon gets us home! Baseball night last night and Jim’s Pirates lost, Jason’s Red Sox lost, and our Mets LOST!
