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.

Juliet's in it for herself. She's not doing it our of some great loyalty to Ben, she's doing it because it's the only way she thinks she can get off the island. IF she sees a way to side with the Losties and get off the island, she would, but she is far too aware of how much control Ben has over things so it would take an extraordinary circumstance.

I agree that she's in it for herself, which makes me think that perhaps she is planning to double cross Ben and the Others in the end.

I can't wait to see Jack's reaction when he realizes he's been played by her, it that is indeed the case.

I'd be surprised if that were the case. She doesn't seem to be thinking that far ahead. While she doesn't have any great love for Ben at this point, I think she still respects his power over what goes on on the island. I think she can be persuaded (especially if, say, Locke convinces her that Ben let him blow up the submarine) but at this point I'm pretty sure she is on board with Ben for the sole reason that she doesn't see any other way off the island.
