at the time of writing this, we've seen 9 of the 13 mobisodes, and this, i think is the most interesting one of them so far. this one actually gives us genuinely new information.
here's what it's reminding us of:
• the others have a brainwashing room, room 23
• the others were afraid of walt
• the others wanted walt off the island
• walt is "special" (as if we needed reminding. enough with the special!)
here's what's new:
• it's jacob who wanted walt
• walt was kept in room 23
• walt can at -least- summon birds to their deaths
i wonder if damon and carlton had originaly planned to have beatrice be a much bigger role, but then found it too difficult to make the schedule work with the actress, april grace, (who by the way is awesome as tom cruise's interviewer in magnolia, echoes of tom with oprah years later) who had been cast as a regular on 'the nine' by the time season 3 began. it seems like they were only able to get her back just long enough to kill her.
so here we have another reinforcement of juliet as having had something to do with walt's 'care' while with the others, which we know will be very important when michael comes back.
and don't forget! in season 1, episode 14, "special," walt causes a bird to crash against the glass door, totally freaking out his stepfather.
my guess is that we'll only be seeing walt in flash-forwards (to account for his growth, as damon and carlton had said they'd accounted for up to two years ago!), so somehow walt will have been separated from michael - walt gets home while michael has to go back, and michael will know from walt everything that was done to him in room 23, and he'l have quite the grudge against juliet when they finally meet again.
