If you're a fan of Lost, and you didn't get to watch "One of Us" last night, you won't want to read this post because there are spoilers. You've been warned.
**************************************************
We got to see more of Juliet's background. We saw how she willingly agreed to go with Mittloes BioScience, even there were so many reasons for her not to (ie, she didn't know exactly where she'd be, she'd have to swallow a sedative-filled drink to make the journey, she wouldn't have contact with anyone for "6 months"). And, of course, we saw how she remains under Ben's direction, a plant in the Lostaways' camp just like recruiter Ethan before her.
Was this really a suprise ending? No, it was not. Michael shooting Ana Lucia and Libby, then letting Ben go free - now that was a suprise ending, and there still hasn't been another one like it (I'm talking about shows during the season here - I'm not considering season finales). It wasn't a surprise, because it's difficult to imagine that The Others, whom she lived among for three years, would actually abandon her to people they deemed worthy of terrorizing and manipulating. Let's consider also that the woman has got to have trust issues. She thought she'd be working for a company not-exactly-in-Portland, but she was taken to some unknown island where she's been for three years. Would she so quickly decide to hang out with some new people? I think not. Especially not when a man she "hung out with" - Goodwin - ended up dead after spending time with them.
The questions that remain are these: why are The Others still interested in the Lostaways? Will Juliet try to figure out what is happening so that Sun won't befall the pregnant Others' fate? Can we assume that what Juliet told Jack and Kate about the pregnant women was the truth? Can we assume that Ethan really did take matters into his own hands by kidnapping Claire and leaving Charlie for dead, as Juliet said he did?
Well, you know what can happen when you assume...
