Such a good episode, and so glad it's finally back. One of the craziest parts of last night was when Ben woke up during his surgery, so I thought a picture of that would be the most appropriate.
So we know that Juliet is not an original island-dweller, but what made her change her mind? And we all know that "Portland" is really code for "freaky far away island where you can't leave". What made her change her mind and move to "Portland"? What happened to her sister? Will Ben let her leave the island for helping Kate and Sawyer (and Carl) escape? Was that even what Ben told her in their 3 minutes alone?
Oh, and yeah, no big deal, back in her old life, Juliet just happened to figure out a way to impregnate her cancer-stricken sister with some sort of serum. A serum that looked strangely familiar to the stuff Desmond was injecting himself with in the hatch, and that Ethan injected into Claire when they captured her. All of this has to be connected somehow.
Speaking of pregnancies, we find out that Alex is Ben's daughter....huh? Isn't she Rousseau's daughter? I've gone over theories in my head and the only ones that make sense are that the Others are lying to Alex, telling her Ben's her father. They captured her as a child from Rousseau and have been brainwash-sorry, raising her ever since. The other theory is that Ben somehow impregnated Rousseau back when her ship crashed and he really is her father. I had this third crazy theory that Juliet put her baby-making stuff in Ben and he actually gave birth to her, but this is wrong on so many levels (mainly because we found out that Juliet has only been on the island for 3 years and Alex is 16 years old). Confusing enough?
And what was with that video that they were making Carl watch? All part of their brainwashing schemes? What was Carl's "crime" that called for such a punishment?
And what's been going on since the sky turned purple Tom? Huh? The insanity and awesomeness continues....

Hey Jason, this is Josh... ya know, drummer from UA... that guy. Hah, how's it going? Anyway, just thought I'd share this little bit of interesting stuff we came up with today.
OK, so we learned that Juliette was doing research on trying to impregnate a male rat, and apparently succeeded even though there were problems.
We learn that Juliette's sister is sick (cancer?) and is unable to have a baby. Juliette is apparently giving her shots and treatment, trying to help her conceive. This is evident at the end of the episode when her sister tells her, "It worked, I'm pregnant!"
Why are these two things significant?
Because Juliette's sister is not really her sister at all. Actually, it's Juliette's BROTHER.
By piecing the facts together, Juliette's brother had a sex change. "She" claims that all she ever wanted was to have a baby, probably explaining why "he" had a sex change in the first place. Juliette experiments on field rats and eventually it works, and so begins to experiment with her "brother" for the same results.
Somewhere along the line, her "brother/sister" gets cancer or some other sickness. I'm not sure if this is related yet. Maybe the treatment to try to impregnate "him" also caused the cancer?
So yeah. It worked. And Juliette's "brother" was able to conceive.
Interesting, eh?
Nice! I'm thinking that there had to be some significance in Juliet getting a male rat pregnant, so I like where your theory is going. I'm going to bring it up with my other Lost friends and see what they think.
thanks for the comment man!
