Yeah I noted that immediately.
I have a feeling that Juliet will be playing an important part in the war between The Others and the survivors - I mean, there's a reason as to why they chose to focus on her in the opening scene. Did you notice how, after turning up the music and looking at her reflection in the mirror, she was close to tears?
And then there's the book club incident. I couldn't help but noticing the look in her eyes as she stared blankly ahead for a few seconds before she started yelling at Ben/Adam. It was very despairing and "what the hell am I doing here?"-like. I think she hates this little community of theirs and her life there. And her yelling at Adam/Henry like that only strengthens my conviction. It's clear that she's
frustrated about her situaiton and she was simply taking it out on them.
And on top of that there's definitely some bad blood between her and Henry. I say that Kate, Sawyer and Jack indeed have an ally.
