Fan Thoughts on “Left Behind”
Here are some really great thoughts from fans dicussing last week’s episode on Pop Candy:

One more thought - I wondered why Juliet always brought the food to all the prisoners. Now I think its because Benry wanted the Losties to trust Juliette - sort of the thing where the hostage idetifies with the hostage taker. Now Benry’s plan is coming to fuition (sp?) with Juilette joining the Losties camp.aries wrote:
I bet Kate is pregnant (Sawyer we know can impregnate) and that is what the others wanted. That is why Juliet is staying close to her. Remember that is Juliets specialty.BTD Greg wrote: (only a partial quote)
What does Locke mean when he says that they captured him, but “only temporarily?� Does he mean he intends to escape, or that they have already told him he’s free to go. This next part is pure speculation, but I suspect that Ben is essentially making a play to humor Locke by moving the Others out of Othersville. Locke doesn’t like their modern, suburban existence, and Ben wants to convince Locke that he’s willing to do what it takes so that Locke can commune with the island for him in order to be healed.Locke admitted explicitly that he doesn’t want to go home. He also said that the Others told Locke what Kate did. Locke didn’t appear to me to be judgmental about this fact—he probably believes that the island has provided Kate with a blank slate, just as it did for him.
This episode has a rapture, of sorts, like the “Left Behind� series of Christian novels. The Others and the “good people� have “disappeared,� leaving everyone else behind to suffer tribulations.
That is such good stuff! There are many more here, if you’d like to check them out. It is possible that Kate is pregnant, and that would explain Juliet’s interest in Kate particularly. And I hadn’t thought of the Left Behind book series. What a great observation!

I don’t know about Kate being pregnant. If she was, and Juliet knew it, would Juliet really be beating her up and flipping her hard on her back (when she brought her a sandwich)? Isn’t the point to take babies? Juliet wouldn’t risk such an early pregnancy by hurting Kate if that was their aim.

Very good point, Heather. I didn’t even think about Juliet’s ninja moves on Kate…
