Jacob not visiting Juliet does make me think that's it for her. Also wearing a red shirt. Never good to wear a red shirt. If she really is dead they had better do something good with it -- cause I'm right there with you on Juliet/Sawyer, and she's been the most likeable of the bunch for some time.
Agreed. They better make it count. Although they did have her be the one who made the bomb go off. But I need a bit more than that. Loved Juliet/Sawyer, and loved Juliet. Wanted to find out more.
But you are right - the fact that Jacob didn't visit her, that she and Sawyer were devoted to each other, and the red shirt thing (which I didn't pick up on) - she's dead. (Also, Elizabeth Mitchell is in another series next year or slated to be in one - which never bodes well. )
If it turns out that Jack really was right to try to get a do over I'm not going to be a happy camper.
Right there with you...except for one thing, if it means that Juliet lives? I'm okay with it. Up until the point she got pulled in the well and sent to her doom - I was thinking, no reset, no reset! Then wham, okay, a reset wouldn't be soo bad. LOL!
That said? I can't see them doing that. It goes against the thematic framework of the story. Jack is never right and often causes the exact opposite of what he wants on the island. Way to hell is paved with the best of intentions...and so forth. He reminds me a lot of Angel in Angel the Series - always trying to fulfill a higher purpose, get his father's approval or rebel, always with great intentions, the leader - but he leads everyone to their doom. To do an about face now...would go against the story, I think. It's a horror tale, with anti-hero characters...
They could hit the reset and have things turn out horribly for everyone. Such as the plane crashes anyhow, but ends up at the bottom of the ocean with everyone dead (of course then we wouldn't have another season), or they end up at LAX but their lives go miserably..and they all feel lost in them.
Or that Jack did what was necessary to throw them back to their correct time - which means he was right to do it. That would annoy me. But again, it sort of goes against the whole nature of being "lost". The theme of being lost - seems to be what is central to this series.
