O Juliet, Juliet!

“The Other Woman,” last night’s Juliet-centric episode of Lost, didn’t offer much action or many answers – I know, shocker! – (although somewhat significant tidbits were thrown, like an update on the status of the kidnapped kids from the tail section of Oceanic 815), but it sure did offer long-simmering passion.

Perhaps a little too long-simmering – the plot seemed to suffer from it, and not even Elizabeth Mitchell’s complex and pitch-perfect and wonderful performance could distract from that fact.

Having said that, next week’s installment sounds like it’s going to be a good one (I think we’ll finally get to meet Ben’s “man on the boat”).
