Now THAT is fandom. :) Don't you find when you watch them all back-to-back they're so much better than watching them one a week? A lot of people complained about season 2, but I thought it was because so much time lapsed between episodes. <BR/><BR/>Jeremy: The radio show went well, but no, I don't have any audio from it, sadly. It was a lot of fun! Still trying to figure out if I'll read A Brief History of Time.

What really <BR/>intrigues me is the fact that Ben has the abillity to "let" people go. Is he the only one that knows which way home is ? Didn't everyone hear him give instructions to Michael when he left ? Why wouldn't these people try to escape all this time ?<BR/><BR/>I guess we'll find out more tomorrow :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-37784216470882983822007-02-09T17:24:00.000-05:002007-02-09T17:24:00.000-05:00Good recap, and I enjoyed the background we got th...Good recap, and I enjoyed the background we got this week on Juliet. It's always fun to delve into a new character.<BR/><BR/>But I am so looking forward to next week, and catching up with the characters I actually care about.<BR/><BR/>I must say the Lindelof/Cruse show that proceeded the episode was enjoyable and informative as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-26531170113956201032007-02-08T14:46:00.000-05:002007-02-08T14:46:00.000-05:00Great recap as always Nik.

Rousseau has told us that the boat landed on the island, and her crew died (helped by her). She gave birth to Alex in the jungle, on her own, and delivered the baby herself. Two weeks later, the Others came to take her. All of this we know. <BR/><BR/>So... no, Alex couldn't possibly remember Rousseau. She was two weeks old when she was taken from her. Ben has taken her in, and raised her. I would bet he's told her he's her father, so of course she calls him Dad. Juliet's only been on the island for 3 years, so she assumes it's true, too. <BR/><BR/>OR... there's a chance Ben has owned up to it, which would explain why she also calls him Ben. He's her adoptive father, which makes him "her dad" as far as they're concerned. I have friends who've been adopted, and they call their adoptive parents Mom and Dad. <BR/><BR/>Yes, Ben has met Rousseau when she caught him in a net before Sayid took him and locked him up in the hatch. But Rousseau had no idea that he was the one who had Alex specifically. He couldn't have been the father of the child, because Rousseau acted like she'd never seen him before (unless she's in on it, which seems unlikely at this point). <BR/><BR/>Chapati Kid: Oh, I agree with you on Burke deserving it 100%. It was the execution of the scene, and the logic of how it could have been pulled off that doesn't work for me.<BR/><BR/>fb: I am SO looking forward to the Bono guest appearance! LOL!<BR/><BR/>Crissy: I agree that it seems strange that Juliet would sign up after everything they just told her. They just viciously killed your ex, whether or not he deserved it, and want to take you away from your sister, for whom you risked everything. Um... ok.Nikki Staffordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04463618183850438914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-86142260860579956192007-02-08T13:11:00.000-05:002007-02-08T13:11:00.000-05:00I agree w/ fb.

I thought Rousseau said she was already pregnant when she was on the boat that brought her to the island. So either Ben is lying and hasn't been on the island his whole life (and came w/ Rousseau and is the baby-daddy) OR Ben is lying and is not Alex's dad but more her kidnapper/adoptive dad. Ben is to Alex as Heroes HRG is to Claire.<BR/><BR/>Also -- why the frak would Juliet sign up to work for the crazy people who ran her ex down and show up at the morgue of all places to hound her about the job? Those are warning signs that you *may* not be back home in time to see your sister's new baby.<BR/><BR/>So glad Danny was the Other that got shot.

I ...Didn't Ben already meet Rousseau on the island? I thought she trapped him. I defer to you. If Alex is Rousseau's daughter, does she remember her? And if she's Ben's daughter, wouldn't that make Ben the "impregnator" of Rousseau? <BR/>Highlights for me: Sawyer calling Carl "Cheech" when putting him in the boat. Sawyer slamming Danny against the food machine. Juliet -- in every scene in that episode. She was superb. She was emotionally abused by her husband, and terrified of him; and there seem to be echoes of that in her relationship with Ben as well. <BR/><BR/>P.S. I really liked the bus death. I thought he deserved it. :-)The Chapati Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08916089544395886858noreply@blogger.com
