Spoilerific Doc Jensen Column

For the faint of heart spoiler-wise, you'd best avert your eyes now. For those who don't mind teases that ask the right questions but don't provide the actual answers, venture forth.

Entertainment Weekly's Jeff Jensen has seen tonight's Juliet-centered episode of Lost, "One of Us," as well as the next few entries. His full column can be accessed by clicking on the title of this post.

Here's what he has to say about the short term:

"Yep, I've seen tonight's episode. What can I say? How about this: A couple years from now, when the series is done, I'm certain there will be a DVD product that will collect the 20 or so episodes that represent the Definitive Lost Saga, and this one will be on it. Tonight, you will learn how Juliet came to the Island, and why the Others so desperately needed her miracle-grow baby-making science. You will learn more about Ethan's infiltration of the castaway encampment in season 1. You will learn how the Others know so much about the castaways. And the ending... well, it's killer. The episode is filled with sharp writing, stunning cinematography, and great performances. It is a weird, wicked, wonderful hour of television. I loved it.

***

"Yes, folks: I have seen more than just tonight's episode. And they're good. REALLY good. And if you want a hint off what's to come, how about this:

Remember Charlie's question in the pilot — 'Guys... where are we?' Well, having seen the next couple episodes, I think a better question would be this: 'Guys... WHO are we?'"
