Centric
The Other Woman is a Juliet-centric episode.--Mikexchanger 09:14, 13 February 2008 (GMT)
This information isn't posted on the article/talk pages until after the episode airs as it is considered a spoiler. This information (as well as the centric characters up until episode 8) is already on the season 4 spoilers page. Jimbo the tubby 09:14, 13 February 2008 (PST)

- Normally I try not to read the cast list (I always fail), but I'm thrilled with this one. M.C. Gainey's back! --Chester Kilburn Talk | Contributions 09:54, 17 February 2008 (PST)
header Information
Someone with formatting skillz needs to change the episode link template to show that Juliet is the flashback character, and also to change the information on the Season Four article. I have no idea how to do either of thse things and i really don't have the spare time. Billytrousers 19:14, 6 March 2008 (PST)
Sam?
When I first watched, I thought the man being beaten by Widmore was Sam Thomas of Find 815. I thought the hair looked like his. I'll double check on Tivo later.--Theslate 19:17, 6 March 2008 (PST)

badly done
That was really badly written. Michael Emerson gives all those interviews last fall talking about respecting his character and not making it "arch"....and then we get mostache twirling over the dead body of goodwin. After after all the things they set up in Juliet's backstory last season, they have her showing up for dinner with ben as if nothing has happened. And they abandon everything they might have done in terms of Goodwin's interest in Ana Lucia in favor of a new disposable ex-wife character. Dharmatel4 19:49, 6 March 2008 (PST)
- Some of Ben's lines were hilarious though. Ben does some pretty insane things but given his diabolical nature and his rather traumatic childhood, I think it's understandable that he's a little off balance. Generally speaking, I thought this episode provided some nice comic relief. Except for the poison gas. And Goodwin's corpse. --Beardedjack 19:56, 6 March 2008 (PST)
"You look just like her"
Ben's childhood friend Annie? they grew up became lovers, she got pregnant and died in the island. Juliet reminds him of her. If sayid is the man in the freighter...Is it just me or this show is getting really stupid? (unsigned)
- If you remember last season, Juliet supposedly looked like Sarah Shephard too. She doesn't look anything like Annie. So is/was Sarah seeing Ben or does someone else look exactly like Juliet/Sarah. With so few episodes left, there is nowhere good for this to go. Dharmatel4 20:12, 6 March 2008 (PST)
- I hope the "her" is either Ben's mother (although that wouldn't make much sense) or Annie, because if it turns out to be Sarah that would be beyond stupid.--HaloOfTheSun 23:46, 6 March 2008 (PST)
- We've never seen an older verison of Annie, so who's to say Juliet doesn't look like her? I'd say it's a much better bet that Ben seeing Sarah. hatetodd 21:14, 6 March 2008 (PST)
- I think it's his mother; check out Ben's Painting--Ex-Pope Cardinal Richard Corey 21:33, 6 March 2008 (PST)
The Man On The Boat
I'm almost dead certain that Ben's 'man on the boat' is Michael. Why not? He told Locke it was going to be a shock (his words were 'you might want to sit down for this') Ten bucks says its Michael. Also speaking of Michael, are we ever going to learn about Walt's 'special' abilities? Or is that just another season one dropper?
- Well, first off, we're obviously going to learn more about Walt's abilities. If you watched the mobisodes or even last season finale, you know that he's still important. Second, I'm now pretty sure that the man isn't Michael; the promo man said we would be seeing a face we had never expected to see again, and Harold Perrineau has been in the credits for most of the season, and we've been expecting to see him pretty much since he left anyway. Of course, promos can't be trusted, so my other thing is: How would Ben have gotten hold of Michael again? The man's off the island with his son; Ben has no more chips to play there. I think it's Mikhail.--Ex-Pope Cardinal Richard Corey 21:26, 6 March 2008 (PST)
- But keep in mind that the promos arn't really made for "us". They are made for the average audience members like my mother who would never pick up on the fact that Perrineau's name has been in the credits all season without me there to point it out to her. :) hatetodd 21:36, 6 March 2008 (PST)
- Also, if it were Mikhail, he would have to have been traveling to from the boat during the early stages of all this. He was seen at both the Other's camp and in the Looking Glass after knowledge of the frieghter being off the coast was given on the show. hatetodd 21:52, 6 March 2008 (PST)
- Ben could have some influence on Michael if Ben helped him after he left the island. Michael wouldn't be able to go back to his old life because he would have to answer questions about the plane crash, etc.. He and Walt would need money and new identities, and as we know from the closet o'secret identities, Ben's good at procuring both. --Emily76 22:04, 6 March 2008 (PST)
- Also, in the official podcasts, didn't Lindelof and Cuse confirm that Mikhail is dead? Maybe this is how they're introducing their zombie series, lol. Lindsaynickel 22:34, 6 March 2008 (PST)
Plot Twists in Episode
I've notice that a few plot twists were taken out the section. C. Widmore being behind the frieghter seems like a pretty good example of a plot twist to me. I also think that the fact that Ben is now freed to live among the survivors in the Barracks would be considered a twist in the set plot as well, if for nothing else, while it may not have suprised us as a audience it suprised the characters of the show (Sawyer and Hurley) and ended the episode. hatetodd 21:34, 6 March 2008 (PST)
The Tempest = Imperial Bunker on Endor's Moon?
When I watched "The Other Woman" it looked like the Tempest in both appearance and function was paying homage to the bunker near the end of "Return of the Jedi." Both are power generators, have a broken front entry panel, front doors that open sideways, in the forest, and while the events are going on in both another character is redeeming himself (Darth Vader and Ben). Do enough people agree to add it to the cultural reference section of the main article? Also, I'm sort of new to posting on Lostpedia and I don't really know how this User Talk system works, so I hope this gets added correctly :) --Cronikeys 23:29, 6 March 2008 (PST)
