'One of Us.' Back to the good old days.
Wow. That was awesome.
We finally get an answer to how everyone on the island knows about everyone in the crash. Finally!
So I'm wondering, if the island has some ability to manipulate time, couldn't Ben have orchestrated the Oceanic 815's passenger list to benefit his need for a doctor?
Ben seems to know things (kind of like Desmond) before they happen, such as knowing he has cancer before Juliette tells him, so couldn't he have the ability to influence the future and the past?
Ben seems to gloat about the date on the newspaper in the video of Juiette's sister... insinuating that it probably should be different. Is this a hint of more time-bending weirdness on the island?
I'm torn with Juliette and Ben. Ben's a liar, we know he's a liar. Why would he not lie to Juliette?
Why would Juliette not be lying to everyone else (well, we know she is), including Ben?
Why is Juliette so EVIL!?!? Is she a planted spy? Could her sister's cancer been a ruse to get her to the island and maybe find out what's going on there and maybe find Desmond?
What's up with that 'Downtown' song? I hate it.
Finally, Claire has an implant... it can make her sick. Could the same implant make someone better (like Locke)?
What a great episode.
Next week is the beginning of the "end"? HUH?
Movable Type 4.1

I think it's unfair to say Juliet is "so EVIL!" It's not like she and Ben were planning this new deception for weeks; Juliet was about to leave the island for good, before Locke blew up the submarine. Only after that could she and Ben have begun plotting whatever she's up to.
My guess is, no longer being able to leave, Juliet became well aware that she was still subject to Ben's orders; this is mostly Ben's fault.
