Juliet, in my opinion, is a master manipulator!! Juliet is "the woman behind the man", a true puppeteer and she is really working Jack over!
Juliet is far more dangerous than Ben.

She is more dangerous, becuase she is a woman. Spiteful... and obviously we have seen her taze Sawyer. Ruthless...
maybe jack didnt save the woman who was her sister or something.

Shouldn't you feel some measure of guilt in that situation...not to mention that he was the one responsible for his brother's death by forcing him into the drug running scheme. Very disturbing, and thought provoking.

Agreed. very interesting.
But Ecko would not be on the island if it werent for killing a man when he was a boy. His brother never would have grown up and chosen the church... the drug running would never have occured... and ecko would probably have died some other way... but his choices brought him back to his brother so they could rest in the same place.
