Juliet a Spy - Page 4

I like Juliet's character so much. I am still holding out that she is a good person. I hope that another Juliet FB will show that after her arrival on the island she realizes she has been mislead and is stuck in a bad situation. Maybe this will allow us to have more sympathy for her. However, it would help if she came to the conclusion that honesty is the best policy when dealing with the losties. Of course the losties themselves could use some help with honesty among each other too.

I know you like Juliet, Folie! I try and be gracious toward Juliet on your behalf!

You make a valid point about her though... she seemed a meek and sweet sort of person pre-island... something has happened to her (willingly or unwillingly) to make her have a very cold exterior - a judo-throwing, gun using, coup instigating, stare-down-Smokey chick. It might have to do with the fact that all the men in her life are ... hmmm. what's the word I'm looking for?... how would you describe the guy hit by the bus, Ethan, Goodwin (Goodwin might have been the exception, but he got killed too) and ...ugh!... Ben Linus. I would hope she would have the courage to really change sides and tell EVERYTHING to Sayid, Jack, Sawyer, and Kate (I think the more who know the better), not out of real fear that Sayid will kill her if she doesn't, but because she wants to help the Losties and get out of Ben's grasp. She's the key to the Losties getting a leg up on what's happening on the island and against Ben Linus.

What I meant by status quo was the Losties MO, to continue accepting the "Others" as dangerous informative people and not trying to do something about it. It's just not believable to me. Where is the survival tactic behind anything that they have done recently? In the first couple of seasons this was incorporated but the writers have completely gone off track. I understand some individuals will be scared and sympathetic but certainatley not the majority. 80 days stranded and living in the wild is certainly enough time for people to lose there patience and start making hostile decisions. Some wise some unwise but action is taken.

I live in Miami and every time a hurricane passes (which is almost every year) the city loses electricity and EVERYONE goes crazy. People fight over everything and anything because that’s what happens when our everyday amenities get taken away, money has no value, panic sets in and we have no clue when we will get it back. And that’s just electricity, we are talking about being stranded in an island that can’t be found and food will soon run out with other people kidnapping children and attacking you. So please don't use 80 days as if they pass by in a blink of an eye. What makes the show good is to see how REAL individuals explore an island that is mysterious and seems to have a life of its own. But when you add a cast of other individuals who live there as well and do all the things they have done and posses the knowledge or capability of leaving the island and the Losties continue to do NOTHING it gets old and unreal.

Scratch off surviving the plane crash and substitute real individuals with the Losites and tell me if any of what’s going on would happen? The answer is NO, the show would end in about 2 weeks because there would be total anarchy and as soon as a child is kidnapped the war would have begun and ended right then and there! Look I understand it’s a show and I really enjoy watching it don’t get me wrong but the writers need to start making it more realistic and make the characters perform real life scenarios! I’m tiered of seeing the Losties act so trust worthy and friendly to freaking kidnappers! This season has gone totally out of whack and I hope they fix it before the season finally

But you can't look at it as real - I know the producers and writers have said that they try and keep it as scientifically real as possible, but there is a black smoke monster - that is not realistic - there is an island that seems to have a life of its own - that is not realistic. I DO think that only 80 days is important, it is a short amount of time to become acclimated to anything after living a lifetime in a civilized society. Our Losties have gone through different stages - when there was the parachute drop of food and everyone came running, and Sawyer was shouting to take it easy, there was a little anarchy going on there. Hurley complained about being left out of the loop. Nobody knew what Locke and Boone were doing going out into the jungle everyday, and obviously, we didn't know about or what Nikki and Paulo were doing. Jack tried to organize an army without Sawyer or Kate's knowledge. Bernard did become frustrated with no one trying to get them rescued and tried to build an S.O.S. signal. I don't think I want it realistic... we get character flashbacks and those are realistic, how everyone realistically acted back in civilization and our Losties did not fare very well. But now you are here on a mysterious island, "everyone gets a new life" - there are no codified laws that our losties have to follow, plus they all are obviously broken people who are struggling with getting that new life which is a more subtle struggle to show but no less powerful than some anarchist uprising against ??? They did all agree with "Live together; die alone" and they are finding there place in that. I really like season three!
