I thought it was a great episode, finally they are answering some questions.
I don't think Juliette is either good or bad. The girl is doing what the girl has got to do. I gotta tell you, when push comes to shove, I'm taking care of me and family. I’m sorry, actually no I’m not. I knew that Juliette was not "left behind" from the whole fence thing, but the question is how far back have they been setting it up? Was the whole I wanna kill Ben thing fake and to gain Jack's trust? Or was she just pissed that Ben won't let her off the island? I mean that whole thing where they were gonna kill her cuz she killed that Danny guy, smelled of set up to me. Jack loves to be a savior and they let him do what he does loves, while making them a team. Also, is the branding protection from the smoke monster?
The question is (as Walead said) what's Ben's endgame. What does he gain from having her there? Is she there to monitor Claire? Sun (if so, how do they know she's preggers? This realization came at the island, so if they know about Sun, then there's a mole or a bug or something in the camp). Maybe they just need more women to impregnate. Maybe they just need to keep an eye on the Losties cuz they are pesky mofos.
I want to know more about Juliette. There's a big leap from the bubbly, nice lady that she was in the flash backs and the cut throat lady she is now. She bitched Sayid and Sawyer without hesitation and the "Let's have it" comment was ballsy especially since she knows what Sayid is capable of. She also shot Danny (was that his name?) without hesitation, I think these actions are a far cry from the nervous girl we saw drinking OJ. And of course, the ninja skills, Juancy. I want to know what else she did on those 3 years on the island. I want to know what Ben has to offer Julliette that still makes her do what he says. She wants off the island, can he still make that happen? And if there is no communication then he can't really threaten the sister. What's motivating her?
Also, how do they know about the man that Sawyer killed? All the other info could be found, medical records and research etc. But that happened the day before they left and supposedly only Sawyer knows. How’d Patchy find out? (I was writing this when Sam’s posting came in. Good eye, Sam, good eye)
AND ANOTHER THING! They should always believe Sawyer and Sayid when they think peeps are shady. Game recognizes game! Sayid knew from the get that Ben was lying about not being an other. So much so that even with evidence to the contrary, he dug up a grave! He dug up a fucking grave and got out a license, that’s a man that follows a hunch. He also knew that Michael was up to no good. And Sawyer! When Michael, Walt and Jin where all smiles and waves on the raft, that sexy mofo had his hand on his gun. Why? cuz Game recognizes game! Shade recognizes shade. No wonder Jack is so easily duped. He needs to start doing some question asking. First he didn’t ask what Kate did, now Juliette. Come’on Jack! You are a doctor! Ask for the history! It’s fucking important.
I found the Sawyer/Kate moment precious! I gotta give him big-ups on the acting skills. He said nothing but I saw it all in his face. He wanted to go to her but tried to hold back and pretend, finally he broke! Damn, I lust that man! I’d be in trouble on that island cuz even knowing the pregnancy kills, I’d have sex with him and possibly die.
And last but not least, did Hurely kinda threaten Juliette? The last one of you who came and f’ed with us is buried over there. Just so ya know...

Yup, I'm commenting on my own shit. Once again, let's not forget that she shot Danny because it might get her off the island. She knew Danny. They spent 3 years on the island together. They prolly broke bread, maybe he was in the book club (Nah), maybe he and the wife went to Juliette's house for dinner and played bridge. I'm just saying she shot a man that she knew, she prolly has no problem tricking these Losties who she doesn't know or doing whatever else she needs to do. I'm not saying I think she's evil. I'm just saying she's going to do what it takes to get the job done. Whether it's betraying Jack or Ben.
