The Other Woman (S4:E6)

I could have used the sleep. Especially while trying to get over this bronchitis (TMI?). What did this episode REALLY tell us? That it's all about Juliet. ZZZZZZZZZZ

We also see that Ben is still somewhat in charge, regardless of his situation, much like when he was held in the hatch. But, please...did anyone get fooled into thinking Juliet was part of the Oceanic 6 up until Tom opened the door to the house?

1) Juliet seems to be a woman who attracts MANY men...Goodwin, Ben, Jack. If she could be as manipulative as women are made out to be on screen, she could be running that whole island. If she could be half as manipulative as Ben is with Locke...ugh...it's rather disappointing. She's also stepping on Kate's foot there, as she did with Harper.

2) In Ben's case, what did Harper mean when he said the Juliet looks like "her"? Ben once told Juliet that he chose her to deal with Jack because she resembled Jack's wife. Dude...Puh-lease tell me that Jack's wife didn't leave him for Ben. PUH-LEASE!!!! Maybe he means his mother, but that's kinda....blekh!!! What about the little girl Ben knew as a child, Annie?


3) Ben mentions that Juliet is getting along well with Zack and Emma (the two kids stolen from Eko and the Tailies back in Season 2). Does Juliet have a bond with them? Would she be willing to leave the island without them?


4) I liked the part where Ben asked if the rabbit had a number on it. Did anyone catch the Orchid Station Orientation video? Or see my post on it? You can see the video on the 3rd season DVDs.

5) Took this one from Lostpedia about the Tempest: "The name of the DHARMA station comes from the play written by William Shakespeare, which was first published in 1623. It tells the story of the sorcerer Prospero and his daughter Miranda, who are stranded on a mysterious desert island that has mystical properties. Prospero raises a storm, or tempest, which causes a passing ship containing his enemies to run aground. Using magic, spirits and a man-beast creature named Caliban, he separates and manipulate the survivors of the wreck for his own purposes. The play ends with Prospero restored to his former glory."

6) Did Ben want Ethan to die too? Is that why he sent Ethan? This theory now has potential.

7) Why do I get the feeling that Charles Widmore is the Economist? Eh...that was too easy. However, we got to see what we've been expecting. Widmore is behind the boat. So it's not Penny's boat. It's her daddy's. But, she calls the boat?!?!? Let's connect some dots. Charles Widmore wants to find Ben. He hires Matthew Abbadon to get a team together. He hired Naomi and the other misfits. What if Penny got to Naomi somehow? Naomi had a picture of Desmond and Penny in her book. I doubt Charles Widmore cares about Desmond enough to go find him like that. Oy vey!!! My head is spinning.

8) By the way...any doubt that Harper, seen in the jungle by Jack and Juliet, was the black smoke?

9) I won't give the name of the next episode, for those that don't want any spoilers...as it pretty much gives away who the next episode is about.

That's all for now folks. Maybe we can come back to this one after a future episode gives it some greater value.
