At least now I know why they canceled Deadwood.
So the entire cast can start appearing in Lost.

Jules has pretty much proven that she lies like a rug & can't be trusted from one minute to the next.
I'd like to lay her like a rug LOLLLSS@@1!!
Seriously - which episode is the mud wrestling battle between Juliet and Kate? Sweeps week no doubt...

Dia -
Don't forget that Ben made a promise to Jack too. Said he'd get him off the island if he did the surgery. Actually, now that I think about it, he didn't say when. :sly:
Agreed though, no spoilers necesary anymore. If you walk into this thread, you better be expecting whatever you see.
If my life depended on it, and I had to pick Kate or Sayid as a serious bodyguard, I might have to flip a coin. Kate=badass.

I'm just waiting to see if there are going to be more on Lost or ER.
Are we more likely to see a pig farm on a tropical island, or hear 'Cock-a-sucka stab me'?

I came away with two interesting questions from this episode:
1. Ok, so Ben is Alex's father, which means Danielle and Ben did the nasty, which means they must have, at one time, been at least mildly civil to each other, which leads to the question of why Danielle handed Ben over to the Lost bunch when she captured him in the net. She tortured Sayid when she thought he knew where Alex was, so why did she hand over Ben if he's the father and most certainly would know? Then again, it could just be that Danielle is a loon, I guess.
2. The Clockwork Orange style "reprogramming" of Alex's boyfriend (Carl?). What did he do to deserve it (just frolicking with Alex seems a bit extreme, but it is Ben after all), and what kind of positive result could they possibly hope to achieve from blasting that bad-acid-trip music and showing those creepy, disturbing images. Unless the purpose is to melt his brain. ??
Other than that, just an ok episode IMO. I still hate Juliette, even if she cures infertility, birth defects, cancer, and hemorrhoids too. They can't make me like her, no matter how hard they try. They can't, they can't, they can't, they can't, they can't!!

I may have missed something, but who ever confirmed that Ben is Alex's biological father?

It could be that he tried to escape and use Sawyer as a decoy (there's nothing to say why he had to escape in the first place, though). I don't know how much I buy that, though. They may just be trying to 'straighten him up' because he's being a rebellious teenager.
It did occur to me that maybe what Karl was going through is maybe some sort of brainwashing/conditioning that all the others have gone through.

Juliette said something about Alex needing to be there when her father woke up.
Not conclusive, but that's the reference.
And who says Rousseau is the mother?
Juliette mentioned that she had knocked up a male rat, but he didn't carry to term.

In the episode titled "Solitary" of season 2, Danielle told Sayid that Alex, her child, is missing. I'm just going from memory, but I also read this here (

But, I don't have season 2 DVDs, so yeah, I could be wrong.

Ben is Alex's father- whether her biological father, or he 'adopted' her when they took her, we don't know. We still need to find out exactly why the Others steal children (specifically), and what they're doing with them- we haven't seen any children among them- except the one scene walking through the jungle (when Eko and Jin were hiding and saw the teddy bear).
The Others almost certainly have a problem procreating, and that's probably the reason they got Juliette (and Ethan was obviously involved, too). But unless they're also doing some sort of speed cloning or something, Juliette couldn't have helped someone conceive Alex- Juliette has only been on the island for a little over three years.
And, yeah, Rousseau could be delusional about her missing baby, she says her baby's name is 'Alex', so we're assuming that Ben's Alex is also Rousseau's Alex. It's all assumptions at this point.
