This may be self-indulgent, but it is always incredibly righteous. I hate, hate, hate how Juliet's story was truncated in S5 to the point where she barely spoke and was just there to get James' back. She so deserved a centric episode so we could see her experience through her eyes - not just as bookend to Sawyer, Jack and Kate's story. I wanted to know why she stayed, how she reacted to meeting young Ben, and why she decided to give a relationship with James a whirl. Thank you for filling in the blanks here and having Juliet accomplish some of her goals. I loved the section with Rachel and how kick ass she was in finding her sister. I love that you had Juliet getting to leave with Jack and more importantly, choosing to leave in 1974. But best of all...
No one’s detonating any bombs today.
Hallelujah! This is the only reset I think works.
And it was nice even after all the madness, that in another universe, Juliet finally got her visit from Jacob in a meaningful way. She did not have to be the sacrifice the island demanded. I got a real kick out of this! Thanks so much for writing thins and giving Juliet's story such an elegant voice. You are my hero!
