Well I guess I literally missed the bus. Until it hit Ed.

Heh. As soon as Juliet uttered those fateful words, my sister and I both said, "He's gonna get hit by a bus before the night's over!"
And I wasn't the least bit surprised when it happened. There's a precedent for such callous, non-feeling inhumanity amongst the Others. Remember when flight 815 was shown breaking up in the skies over the Others' island? There was no talk of all the poor dead victims or suggestions of helping any survivors--Ben just calmly sent Ethan and Goodwin off to infiltrate in case there were any survivors.
The Others know something--or think they know something--that makes them like gods while other people are there to be used.

Shootout and the only thing anybody hits is the radio Kate is holding in her hand. Ehh
Sawyer's wookie line. Nice.
Ben waking up during surgery with a huge hold in his back and holding a conversastion. Ehh. I wish Jack grew some backbone and let him die.
Info on Julliette's background. Ehh, I could care less.
So then at the end of the episode, Jules comes back into the operating room and only Jack is there. She tells Jack he is going back into his cell until they figure out what to do with him. Why doesn't Jack just take her as a hostage or something? Ben's out cold, most of the others are out looking for Kate and Sawyer, and Jack is alone with Jules. I don't get it.
Overall, Jack is the character I'm the most interested in at this point but I so want him to man up and do something. He needs to start going Jack Baurer on the Others.

While I'll agree that the Others are definitely meant to be portrayed as "the bad guys", I don't even like them as bad guys. I think the characters themselves are just lame. Unveiling the others was the worst thing that has happened to the show. Now I'm just hoping they get theirs, sooner than later preferably.
I think everyone saw that coming BUT Ed.The Grumpy Celt said:
And don't forget that this was the guy who had the jones on to kill Sawyer and for the death of his wife!Taelorn76 said:

Man, the bus scene has officially become played out. It's the third time (series) I've seen it on. I've seen it a half dozzen times since the first Final Destination. It even looked like Ed specifically moved himself in front of the path of the bus.
Who doesn't see a bus coming.

Is it wrong the first thing it reminded me of was the similar scene in 'Mean Girls'?DonTadow said:
Actually, it makes sense... "hit by a bus" is a common phrase people use when talking about accidental death, especially jokingly, so it wasn't out of place for Juliet to use it. However, by Ed actually dying that way, it let Juliet *know* it wasn't an accident, even if Ethan and the other guy deny it. She knows she's dealing with serious, powerful people, and it was actually a nice twist on the cliche we've seen a dozen times on movies and TV that DonTadow pointed out.
Was the name of the front corporation (initials MB; don't remember the full name) that recruited Juliet a clue about Hanso?
Why is Juliet's back-story so uninteresting to people? I think it offered alot of clues as to what's going on with the Hanso Foundation, the goals of the others and what's up with the island. She obviously was working on treatments having to do with manipulating the reproductive system, even rejuvenating it. Sort of like Sun's pregnancy? (I also think Benry didn't promise her freedom; he threatened harm to her sister.)
Personally, I am one of the people that *likes* character back-stories. Understanding that why people do things can be for complex reasons is refreshing after too many sci-fi/fantasy shows filled with characters driven by cliched, shallow motivations. (In particular comic-book shows 'Heroes' and 'Smallville', both of which I do enjoy on their own merits, but are unsatisfying in portraying realistic character depth.)
There's never a week that we don't learn *something* about the island, so I'm content to let that unfold at the current pace, especially with recent announcements that the writers definitley have a specific ending point for the series in mind.
