Tufts University is offering a one-credit course based on Lost. It meets once a week, and supposedly the issues (social, economic, etc.) raised in the show are a springboard for discussion. There's a little discussion about fan influence, posting boards and fan fic is mentioned, as well. Story here: [link]
Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Is it possible that Juliet herself is pregnant?
If she is a spy, then how much of her tale is bullshit, I wonder?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Well, the flashbacks aren't bullshit. Or else Lindelof and Cuse better hide before the fans kill them.

Our wings are not tired.
I really like Juliet, and I didn't want her to be a fucking spy! I hope there's a good reason.
Love Juliet. She plays both sides. Sure she's a spy, but also Jack is right and she does want off the island. Unless she has cancer I suppose.
It would seem that she would know about Sun's pregnancy as well. The Losties don't seem to have any secrets. I may be misremembering, but didn't the Others try and kidnap Sun?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Sun thought the Others tried to kidnap her, but it was NotAHobbit working with Sawyer.

I forgot that one! I was thinking of the boat thing where she shot the Other lady.

I think so. It seems like there must be some reason for having her in bed with now deadguy who isn't Ethan.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I don't want to like Juliet and be invested in what her angle is. I don't!
*stomps foot*
Unable to stop myself, I've been wondering why Juliet doesn't just drop the deception and confess that Ben sent her on some mission? Is he promising her a way off the island that no one else knows about (a back-up for the submarine?) or is it more like "if I 'fess up to the plotting and scheming that makes me ill, they'll just distrust me even more and think it's another trick, so why bother?"
How much do I love that her forced happy-face in the flashback (our first ever-glimpse of Juliet, in fact) as she gears up for the book club meeting totally gels with all that we've learned of her? Lots. I'm frankly surprised. Stop with the sense-making, damn you! False hope! False hope!
(My willpower to not watch went out the window with numerous Wednesday night visits from family that involved watching Lost. I was still awake. Shut up.)

Because her lover was killed?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Just caught up on last week's Lost. I'm not sure I have any idea what's going on, but I love Juliet.
