great questions you asked emeek77-- I agree that watching the lack of communication between losties is getting tedious at this point of the show- grab an apple on the way back, sit down for 15 minutes and it'll all become clear that Juliette needs to be left in the woods Nathan-style (can't remember what happened to the guy btw.. is he dead? is he around?). I'm hoping Sayyid will take care of things next tuesday ..
