I wouldn't be surprised if they were able to turn her to the Losties side eventually, because they've made her into a pretty sympathetic character.

I am so happy it turned out the way it did. I get to hate Juliet, hooray! I saw it coming, too, which is rare for me. If her story were true, how would she know exactly where Ethan hid his stash, exactly how to open it? Why would Claire flare up precisely when she showed up? If they hadn't shown us that it was all rigged, it would have been a very crappy episode indeed.

Juliet has been on the island for just over 3 years....the newspaper said September twentysomething 2004.....she arrived on the island just before 9/11.

There is a very serious reason why they need people to give birth on this island. The women "keep dying" but they keep trying. The one specific woman "knew the risks but got pregnant anyway". If there's something special on the island - power source, God in a bottle, what have you - they still don't need to have people give birth there. They could just keep sending people in. If you set up an archaeological dig or a base in Antarctica, it's not vital that you have babies there. I can't fathom why this is so deadly important that they'd hijack people's lives and blackmail them into staying by threatening the lives of their relatives.

Theory - Juliet's sister didn't really have cancer, Ben and company just infected her with something the same way they infected Claire.
