Good so Juliet is not a mole....
This was a worthless podcast. Where did get the idea that Juliet is not a mole from the podcast? Did I miss it?
Well it's all interpretative, as is every podcast. They pretty much dance around the issue on why Juliet was left behind but the only two points they clearly make is that Ben either did it or the Others as a group left her behind. I took it as Ben leaving her behind because of her new bond and relationship with Jack...he's jealous.
I don't think this confirms or deny's anything about Juliet - other than she will get a flashback next week. I agree that overall, this podcast was a little devoid of useful info. They did say one thing that was interesting - Rousseau will definitely get a flashback. I do remember them hinting in an earlier podcast that this was likely to happen in Season 4. That will be something to look forward to!
Beginning Interview Reveals:
- I didn't get that Juliet wasn't a mole as was stated above.
- Juliet may be lying about how much she knows about Smokey.
Upcoming Episode Synopsis:
- We will pick up the Juliet story where it left off and showing her arriving at the island.
Summary of Questions:
1. They're using the same video equipment in season 3 as seasons 1&2.
2. They chromakeyed in Nikki & Paulo as well as shooting scenes with old fuselage pieces.
3. They hope to have Libby come back and tell more of her backstory (but not this year)
4. The date on the paper was Sep. 24th and they gave some reason including Australian time and late editions of the next day's paper... confusing really.
5. A filler question about producers and all the levels of producing within showbiz.
6a. Yes, Rousseau will definitely have a flashback at some point. They remarked about how little she knows about the island.
6b. We will find out more about the DeGroots this season or next.
Overall, not much in terms of overall spoilers.
Next Week: M.C. Gainey Interview
This podcast points out a very important point that you all are discussing already. They are often open to interpretation. I just listened and I don't think they said Juliet is not a mole and I also don't think they said for certain the newspaper date was a prop error. They really danced around that one in such a confusing way that I think there may be something to it, but that's just my interpretation. If you want to cull any information from the podcast, you really have to listen yourself.
MC Gainey rocks OK. Give that man some more screen time; a few football tosses just doesn't cut it.
-Locke will be back in ep 19
That's about the time I heard we'll learn more about his dad. Hopefully it'll be big.
-Juliet probably knows more about the monster
I agree. I doubt though she knows all about it nor its exact purpose.
-They indicate that Juliet has been banished, and it probably was personal from Ben
I'm actually going to trust Juliet on this one. I really think they banished her for her killing. Maybe its all a huge setup, and with the others that's always a big possibility, but I really think she's truthful here.
-The paper that Paulo reads at the airport was a prop error
????
-Rousseau will get a flashback at some point
They've said season 4 for the longest time. Yes, of course she'll get one.
-More info on the DeGroots soon
We haven't heard ANY info on the DeGroots. In the show, anywhere. What's with bringing the name DeGroot out of thin air all of a sudden lately?!
I was curious about what they said about Juliet being banished so I relistened to that part. What was said was:
"I curious about Juliet being left behind. Why did Ben ditch her?
"There could be 2 possible explainations. 1. Ben could be tired of Juliet and didn't want her around anymore 2.or maybe another reason, maybe something personal between them. She pissed him off. There is some unresolved tension there"
This indicated to me that either answer doesn't rule out that she is there to spy on the Losties. From the very beginning the Others have wanted to infiltrate the Losties. Why? I doubt to get to know them better, they have files. I guessing we will find out why eventually. I think they staged Juliet shooting Pickett to help her gain the trust of the Losties. I always thought it was fishy that she killed one of the Others. In fact I think that Pickett threatening Sawyer was all part of the set up.
jake3988 you are puzzled by the Paulo newspaper thing?
Well the newspaper he was reading was dated 9/24/04 on Friday. But the date of the crash was 9/22/04 on Wednesday. They more or less said the paper was a prop error but you can explain it with the time difference thing.
does the announcer say "bock" bids kate adieu?
These podcasts are really starting to irritate me. It seems like only the people who have strange user names or suck up to the producers get their questions answered. And the ones these people do ask have already been inferred or confirmed previously, which essentially wastes the time of the producers and those listening to them.
This (and the post following) is an absolute anal rant -I know that but I've got a toothache in my legs and I'm cranky.
“They indicate that Juliet has been banished, and it probably was personal from Ben”
I just listen to the Podcast and was surprised what I read about it here because that is not what I heard. "Banished" is what Hurley said the Losties were going to do to Sawyer. The word was not mentioned on the Podcast and certainly never inferred or indicated with regard to Juliet (someone else has posted what was said).
I think the poster drew a conclusion based on facts he heard in the podcast and then mistook his conclusion for a fact and posted it as such.
Wow. That posted. I finally figured out the problem was my firefox browser.
“The paper that Paulo reads at the airport was a prop error” What was really said:
D- How do we explain that Carlton?
C-I can’t.
D-Are you going to go fire someone now?
C-I’m going to be leaving now to go fire someone.
[banter about the name of the poster and Damon’s panties]
D-I’m pretty sure it was the 22nd which is the day the premier actually aired.
C-Now you’ve got the international dateline that’s a problem too.
D-Oh yeah That’s right. It’s Australia which is a day ahead and it could have been the late edition which would have been the next day’s paper.
C-So maybe it actually all makes sense.
D-We’ve saved someone’s job.
C-There’s a guy named Gregg Nations who keeps all of our time lines and we’re going to have a little “come to Jesus meeting” with him as soon as this podcast is over.
D-I guarantee you though the prop department called Gregg and said what should the day on the paper be and Gregg said it should be Sept 24th. So he’s got some way to explain that. I don’t know how. He’ll come in and explain it to you. Wearing my panties.
C-We’ll do that on some other podcast.
D-Fantastic.
C-Sometime in the distant future [laughs]
Someone has asked Gregg (the script coordinator) about it on the Fuselage but he has been too busy to answer any posts there lately. Maybe it was a prop error (very minor one given I couldn’t even see the date on my TV) but my point was maybe not. Maybe its my science training but I never reference a source without trying to use the source’s words as much as possible.
It’s like when Michael Emerson gave an interview recently on Buddy TV and the interviewer said in a teaser that Emerson had indicated someone was going to be “deposed” in the upcoming episode when Michael had really said someone was going to be “disempowered”. Two very different words. It’s like we are playing a game of “telegraph” on the internet. Now I understand why there are these stories about how JJ and Damon said everything would be explained by science and there would be no time travel. No one ever says when this promise was made or the words that were used yet it is repeated all over Lost boards and blogs. Fans are getting angry because they feel the writers are going back on a promise. It’s like Damon’s panties above. I know they said Gregg would wear Damon’s panties on a podcast but let’s be serious -he is just too busy to come on the podcast. In a few months we’ll hear complaints about how Gregg has not yet gotten into Damon’s panties like the TPTB promised he would.
I understand that no one is a professional here and it’s just fans trying to do their best but still I think it serves no one to be imprecise when making claims about something someone else has said. When you interview someone or reference a podcast you need to make every effort to report on it accurately or you are doing the source of the information a disservice. Never paraphrase when you can quote. Use a dictionary if necessary (or Wikipedia if you are desperate). Look what a great job Anthony above did on summarizing the podcast. IMHO YMMV yadda yadda End of rant.

Ah, just a case of people looking WAY too far into an episode :)
@ Jake3988
The DeGroots were part of the DHARMA thing. They were referenced heavily during The Lost Experience, and was mentioned in the Orientation Film for the Peral. They were the founders of the DHARMA project (I cant spell initiave for the life of me [it wasn't even spelt right there...]) along with Alvar Hanso.
Go to LostPedia.com to find out more.
initiative
right, that word. :p
This podcast didn't give anything important information to us.
I hope Dark gives us somehting new,like a promo.I just can't wait a new promo about the sawyer and kate hugging scene.

I dunno Mel, that would mean they predicted Jack would refuse to the surgery unless they let Kate and Sawyer go.
One thing that seems to be forgotten (by Jack) is initially, not long after Tom told Pickett to let Kate and Sawyer go (which he reluctantly did), Juliet arrogantly dismissed Jacks threat and ordered the "Other" heavies to go get Kate and Sawyer "and if necessary, kill them!"
This began Pickett and the Others chase, until then they were following Toms order to "let them (Kate and Sawyer) go" due to Jacks threat to let Ben die.
Juliet only changed her tune when Ben spoke to her and (we are led to believe)promised to let her go home. She then went to the beach and killed Pickett to stop him from killing Sawyer.
Also dont forget Juliets teary eyed "thank you, for keeping your promise" to Ben when she thought she was going home.
If it was a set up, it was one hell of a setup unbelieveable even by lost standards.
to above.
Maybe Juliet had something against pickett,something personal.So juliet first let jack to tell to kate that they can go,and then juliet said to pickett that they can go and catch them,or even kill them.So by letting pickett go after kate and sawyer,juliet had a reason to kill pickett before he will kill kate and sawyer,because If pickett had a opportunity to kill them before he gets shot,then jack wouldn't finish the surgey on ben.
It could been all a big setup,and maybe pickett was killed in purpose,pickett waasn't so silent and bated as The others.He could be killed by the fact that he was not going to be a great help to the others.they didn't need him anymore,and he became too personal on sawyer,because the other losties killed his wife/girlfriend/daughter
Guys, what do you think about this i'm gonna say, it's just a theory: What if episode 20 is Sawyer's? I heard that we are going to see the DeGroots out of their normal context(scientists). So, could they be Sawyer's parents? I know his last name is Ford, but whatever(he could have been adopted). That would explain why the Others have Anthony Cooper, if he is the real Sawyer and the man behind the curtain ;P. It's just a theory, what do you guys think about it?
Why Juliet killed Pickett:
Tom told Pickett to give Kate the walkie so he did, and the two punched Pickett out and put them in the cage. Juliet tells some guy in the room to go get Danny, Kate and Sawyer (to kill them if he had to). Then Juliet had the talk with Ben and went looking for Kate and Sawyer (she meets up with Pickett where Karl was being held). She tells him to let them go that Ben said so. Pickett got mad and said Ben would rather die then let them go. So at that moment Juliet knew she would have to kill him, since he was disobeying Ben's orders. That is why after killing Pickett she told Jack it didn't matter what Ben said (that she would go home), because she killed one of her own and she knew that they would kill her for what she did.
u know there actually is a tiny island called "portland island" off of new zealand...maybe it was their inspiration...
jannah,I was starting to think that too,that one of New Zealand's islands can be theirs.
to Flave! That thing about the DeGroots being James' parents. That's exactly what I've been thinking for a long while, before all this. I'm not sure it's gonna happen, but I SURE hope so!!!Coz that'd be just AWESOME!!
I don't think that the DeGroots are sawyer's parents,because sawyer isn't that type of guy,then sawyer would totally loose its imago.I think ben is Degroots son.
jannah said...
"u know there actually is a tiny island called "portland island" off of new zealand...maybe it was their inspiration... "
Nah, Juliets episode was set in Portland, Miami, hence the episode title, the guy who gives Juliet the job says her sister cant come with her because she needs medicine and they are "Not (quite) in Portland".
My thoughts on the whole Juliet banishment idea thing.
They said maybe Juliet being left behind is a personal thing between Ben and her...
I think Juliet told Picket to go kill Kate and Sawyer because if they escaped Ben would not let her go home. (Assuming they had a deal to let Juliet go home after fixing Ben up)
Juliet then starts to see that Jack is just trying to save his friends however it takes.
She then decides to double cross Ben and the Others by going to help Kate and Sawyer to escape thereby helping Jack while trying to keep it secret to stay in the Others goodbooks.
Then the flashback you see of Juliet talking to Ben later I think isn't that long ago it might have been after the surgery.
I think that the reason Juliet was left behidn was that the thers found out about her killing one of thier own and in thier typical fashion (think how long Ben kept up the charade in the hatch) they purposely left her behind.
I think Ben was giving her a chance that Ben himself isn't a completed cold-hearted guy so as to kill Juliet out-right.
I just think that there is more to it than a simple oh must be personal between Ben and Juliet thing.
