Lost!

Didn't Juliette deliver him when they went back in time? Does that mean that she delivered him even though she wasn't brought to the island until he was an adult? The time loop is going to do me in.

Yes. She delivered him after she (and Sawyer, and Miles, and Jin) had been living with the others for 3 years.

But who delivered him before then? He was about the same age has her when they were doing the book club and the plane crashed.

Juliette delivered him. She always delivered him. She first arrived on the island somewhere around 2001, lived in the barracks with the Others until 2004, jumped back in time to 1974, delivered Ethan in 1977. That's the way it always happened.

When Ethan met Juliette in 2001(ish) he was meeting the doctor that delivered him in 1977. It happened in his past, but Juliette's future.

Ya, I got that. I'm just not convinced that's the way it always happened.

Based on what they've implicated so far, as well as the usual rules of time travel (both purely sci-fi rules, and theoretical rules), everything we've seen up to the point of Juliette setting off the bomb has always happened.

I suppose I should study up on my time travel rules.

And I am going to go out on a limb and say that the bomb didn't change anything. In fact, I think Faraday is wrong and the bomb has always been part of the incident.
