>: 63 ONE OF US
Crazy to have another Juliet flashback, didn't see that coming. Was so pumped to see her still on the mainland, to make the trip to the island with her. And there's Ethan again! And Dr. Halpert, gah, frustrating reminder that he's on-island with Locke and Ben. And Cooper?
And what looked like such a great dynamic for an episode, Jack and Kate and Sayid and Juliet walking back, gets cut short because we're running out of season. I sure would like Sayid to make her answer his questions.
Herarat Aviation, the small group that supposedly flies Juliet to the island, is an anagram of Earhart. Amelia lives. And of course, we don't see the arrival at all, Juliet's in the sub already docked. Ethan does so damn well, pretty much acting like the wacky neighbor in a sitcom in every appearance since his death.
Jack's return was acted out so well by Sawyer, just what he did with his face, and Giacchino never lets us down with his strings.
Enjoyed Hurley's interaction with Juliet.
Ben gave Juliet some bogus forms to convince her that her sister still had cancer. Belonging to a 187-lb man. That will sure keep you from getting pregnant.
Great scene by the fire, don't think we've had so much group interaction all season, Jack and Sawyer and Kate and Sayid, etc. Certainly worried about Claire, wondering if Charlie's ill fate was maybe transmitted.
And, wow, taking us back through the whole Claire abduction from Season 1. Is any of that true? It's so hard to differentiate where the lies begin with these people. Everything she said makes perfect sense, but then we know that Claire's not suffering from withdrawal, but from implant activation.
And Juliet was banging Goodwin on 9/21/04? Is that why he gets the undercover excitement the following day? Jealous Ben? So the day the plane crashed was on her third anniversary on the island. Odd. Wow, Carl can develop x-rays. Ben having cancer is a pretty big question, given the island's demonstrated abilities. Juliet's acting in Ben's kitchen was pretty excellent, these two really add some depth to the cast. She certainly shut Sayid and Sawyer down with her words, mentioned Bosrah (?) or something about Sayid's past that didn't ring a bell.
And then we get to go back through the Downtown season premiere, huge follow-up back at the Flame with Mikhail. Wild having them walk off with 815 still trailing in the sky. Great seeing the newsfeeds on the search for the plane, even if they were probably a bit premature.
Man, Jack is so trusting. Bad bad situation. This episode gave us almost no on-island Juliet time, not what I expected. We saw her once six months after her arrival and then jumped to the day before the crash, leaving 32 months unaccounted for, so we still haven't really seen her training, what turned her into what she is today, someone who can whup Kate. And right at the end of this episode, when I was just thinking "Wow, she really isn't a mole," they go ahead and flip the whole thing around, she is deep deep cover. "See you in a week" is an ominous thing for Ben to say. Along with "We've activated the implant within Claire." What is between those two, the way they stare at each other?
And that mark, on the tree at Ethan's old drop-point. Looks just like the brand they gave Juliet to punish her. Hey, where's that creepy mannish sheriff, anyway?
Can't wait to see what happens next. And, hey, 42nd post.
