BLUE MAG

I’m still loving this show. But I have a problem with last night’s episode… don’t read on if you haven’t watched.

How could Juliet have known what was on the other side of the tape? At best she could have guessed at the message’s content, but since the tape player went from Ben to Locke to Sawyer, she could not have heard it. Last week, she had told Ben on the tape that Sun was preggers and that she still had to get Kate’s sample, but they were still on for the original plan for the raid. On the tape last night, Ben confirmed the first two points, saying there would be no time for Kate’s sample but then changing the timeframe of the raid. Correct? That would have been new, urgent information for Juliet, but instead she played it like she had heard that message already. Unless of course the tape player was a feint for Locke and Sawyer’s benefit, and that the real messages were being passed some other way between Ben and Juliet. But that would just be confusing at this point. They would have had to set that up. I think this was a flub.

So was what happened to Locke, but of a different much more serious variety…
