I couldn't tell if the girl who fell from the helicopter was the girl that desmond dated before he met penny, and she just had smoke all over her face, or if she was black and a different person entirely. skankinmonkey thinks that it is somebody who works for penny.
abc probably ran a census and determined that they were losing black viewership ever since michael left the island, so they needed to write in a new black character
while it was a good episode, and Desmond is one of my favourite characters, i still wanna find out what the fuck happens with Locke and his dad !!!

It wasn't the girl he dated before, as she was Portuguese, not Scottish. (She had a Portuguese copy of Catch-22.)
Presumably, she works for Penny, since the two men monitoring whatever signals from the Arctic were apparently Portuguese, too.

Did you guys notice the photo on the other monk guy's desk? I'm pretty sure it was that old lady who followed Desmond around in the episode with the flashbacks where he gets that photo taken with Penny (nice description, i know.)

It was hard not to notice it, it was the worst photoshop job since the dawn of time. Seriously though, how can you spend millions per episode on special effects and then thrown in a half-assed picture like that in plain view on someone's desk?

I noticed that too - it was horrific. Glad I'm not the only one so nitpicky...

I too noticed it and wondered why they did such a horrible editing job. If it was done better, though, I might not have noticed it, so maybe it was deliberate.
Just a question, the book that Juliette was reading in the book club a few episodes ago, what was it? It was a Stephen King book.

It was Carrie.

Hey! Where's my Thursday morning Juliet is evil rant by Dia?
Also, Jun and Sun are by far the most intersting characters in the show. Jin taking out eye-patch totally reminded me of my Korean friend showing us stuff he learned while in the army. He could totally kick you in the head.

Of course, it's not stereotypical at all to have Jin suddenly rise up and become a ninja. Maybe Michael could show up with some fried chicken or Hurley can start landscaping the beach.
I think Juliet's getting a temporary reprieve from saying "I hate you" to Ben. Seems like they're building up to a Darth Vader moment, probably in the finale, where she'll turn on him and throw his ass down the proverbial reactor shaft.

Yeah, it's stereotypical, but at the same time not all that far fetched. My friend really could go Bruce Lee on you because of his Korean army experience.
And since you get super sperm on the island, it looks like a big reason Juliet went to the Losties was to monitor Kate. Maybe THE reason.
Sawyer + Super Sperm + Kate = Locke has to come back and make Kate a pram out of vines and sticks.
Oh, and we still don't know why the maternity room was kept secret. Pregnant women went there to die, but earlier when Goodwin told Juliet "it was her choice" when the lady died on them makes it seem as though they know what they're getting into when they get pregnant. So why keep the room secret?

The writers have got us all hating Ben so much that I think part of the Darth Vader moment will be us realizing what Ben's real adjenda is, and maybe even turning the tables and getting us to root for him.
