As everybody knows, LOST season 6 will have many past characters coming back, but when? E!Online has got the scoop on when to expect at least one of those characters to return.
Juliet, it appears, will be returning sooner rather than later – and maybe not for very long. What I found interesting about the Juliet/Elizabeth Mitchell news was that her return was dictated by fan popularity. That said, it isn’t a very good sign for Suliet fans. If Damon and Carlton were intent on using Juliet as the catalyst for a deeper and darker Sawyer, as Josh Holloway himself has suggested, odds are their overall plan isn’t going to change. We’ll have to wait to see, but since this season is about character closure I’m guessing they planned a very different end for Sawyer than an eventual do-over of his Juliet cuddle-fest. That’s my theory, at least.
From E!Online
Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse did announce that Juliet would be returning this season on Lost. When are we going to see you?
Pretty immediately, and then I’m not sure after that, but I think that it will be satisfactory.
Based on the faux commercials they showed at Comic-Con, it seems that things have been reset. Is Juliet going to have a happy life now?
That would be so amazing. It really would, and I think we’ve all expressed a desire for that, but you know [Damon and Carlton], they’re devious. They’re devious little genius little guys, so my feeling is that I don’t know, but I’m willing to go along for the ride to find out. I would hope after everything that they put her through that she does have a happy life, but it doesn’t always work that way.

I don’t really want Juliet back on the show, especially not since it’s apparently done only to please some fans. And I didn’t like her with Sawyer either. Or him with her.
Regardless of her relationship with Sawyer, Juliet deserves a conclusion.
It’s too bad you don’t like Suliet. Personally, I love them as a couple. After everything both she and Sawyer have been through-before the island-on the island-and after- they were the one couple I was rooting for the most. I know a lot of fans also wanted Sawyer and Kate to end up together but quite frankly, Kate has done nothing but lead Sawyer on, only to run back to Jack without a moment’s hesitation. Suffice it to say I am very sad at the prospect of their story coming to this untimely end.
Considering they’ve done nothing but butcher her character and story all season long, I can’t say I’m happy she’s coming back. Unless they decide to resolve the issues that were her main driving forces of two seasons(and by those I mean the pregnancy issues and being reunited with her sis and nephew), but I doubt it.
Oops, that was not meant to be in reply to JJStrange’s post.
“After everything both she and Sawyer have been through-before the island-on the island-and after- they were the one couple I was rooting for the most”.
After all they’ve been through… What was that exactly?
If you mean individually, then yeah okay, but as a couple?
We saw the trials and tribulations and hardships that the O6 went through in the three years between when they left the island and when they came back… Jack and Kate, Sayid and Nadia, Sun without Jin, Hurley and… Charlie? However, with Sawyer and Juliet, there was no real chance to invest in their relationship.
The Le Fluer episode really wasn’t enough to help get you invested. One minute their getting each other’s back and then the next minute their getting it on, except now it’s three years later and Jin speaks fluent English, Sawyer’s romping around in hippie clothes with his best buddy Miles and Juliet’s giving birth to baby Ethan.
This was all fine and dandy, but it helped in drawing no emotional connection eight episodes later when Juliet met her supposed demise, especially considering that the episodes between ‘Le Fluer’ and ‘The Incident’ only spanned a few days. As much as I wanted to, I really didn’t care.
I think if we see Juliet it will be in some kind of flashback/ dream sequence of the three years she and Sawyer spent together between when Locke left the island and when the O6 returned. Hopefully, this will make us feel more for Sawyer at having to lose her.
I still want to know what Locke meant by telling Jack that when they left “terrible things” happened. Can anyone explain that?
Clearly Locke was referring to Suliet. :p
At the time of Locke’s departure from the island, time was skipping around, noses were bleeding, people were dying, etc.(all terrible things that were happening). Locke was unaware of the whole Dharma thing as his turning the wheel created it.
God forbid that we have to endure any more of that cliche-ridden and chemistry of paint-drying relationship bettween Juliet and James. He deserves more than that. They were just awful together, a fictional example of why marraiges in real life so often fail- settling for less and mistaking a rebound for the real thing. She and James were a moment and that’s all. He deserves so much more. I hope we see her as briefly as possible and as a spirit. Anything more than that will be just ridiculous.
I think the “reboot” is a bit of a ruse. The O-6 may simply return to “normal” time post-crash with minor changes to their characters due to Jacob’s…interference (?). Two big clues to what was said (and not shown via the clips) that leads to that conclusion: Season 1 and what has happened since will not become irrelevant according to DL/CC, nor will Dharma be given much attention.
The only problem I see with the theory of the O-6 (Locke will be dead by still one of them as Esau) returning to “when” Ben Bad Bad Ben slays Jake is that if the characters have changed due to the later’s interference then all the flashbacks ARE meaningless. For instance: Sawyer does not become a con; Jack has no controller issues; Kate is not a killer. Huge impact on the flashbacks we’ve seen. And if S-6 mirrors S-1 and the producers think showing all new flashbacks, the show “rebooting” at the beginning with the crash, is not a cheat and as thumb-nosing an ending as the Seinfeld series finale, well, they’re just insane.
There is always the chance that Jacob visited and touched them in Timeline B.
Like with the introduction of the FlashForward two years before,
we got a glimpse of the things to come in the season finale
I have a bit of a theory about this I’ve been pondering for the past few days. If a reset happened, it would obviously have caused a temporal paradox because the bomb and new timeline would prevent the characters from going back to 1977. Certainly, the promotional videos suggest their timelines have changed significantly.
Damon, Carlton and JJ are big fans of Stephen King, and this shows in all the various Stephen King references on LOST – the flying steak knives, the book club, and so on. Damon and JJ recently optioned The Dark Tower series from King, as Damon is a big fan of the seven-book series. I bring this up because The Dark Tower has a story component that deals with temporal paradoxes, so it might be instructive here.
Basically, the main character of TDT is the gunslinger. In the first book (warning: big spoilers) he meets a boy named Jake who came into the gunslinger’s world after dying in his own world – specifically, in New York City of the 1970s. If this sounds a bit like Dave, Yemi and particularly Anthony Cooper (among many others) appearing on the Island, I suspect that’s not a coincidence.
Jake dies in the gunslinger’s world, but in the second book the gunslinger visits New York in various recent decades and changes the course of events such that Jake no longer dies there. The gunslinger therefore erases all recent events surrounding Jake, including both his first and second deaths, and his visit to the gunslinger’s world. The gunslinger’s mind is torn because he remembers *both* timelines. In New York, Jake is similarly torn – he remembers being dead, transported to the gunslinger’s world, etc.
The way they patch this problem is by merging the timelines. Specifically, the gunslinger brings Jake into his world a second time. I wonder if this is the direction they’re going with LOST Season 6 – that the characters’ lives have all been reset, but the paradox causes them to sense that something is very wrong. And some of them shouldn’t even be alive.

I think it would still be a bit of a cheat – it suggests, as you put it via King, a multidimensional theory.
An interesting tidbit, here: Jacob touched the present (more or less) Hurley, the visit made to prompt the big dude to return to the Island. The others, I believe, were all touched in the past (in fact, Hurley’s out-of-jail-free scene plays more as a legitimate flashback (we always wondered where he got that guitar case!) than the others, all of whom were touched in more formative moments. SO how would Hurley’s timeline be changed prior to the Island crash!?! He’s all positive in the CHICKEN commercial about his “luck.”
I wouldn’t put too much into those clips that appears to show changes in the characters’ background.
I love the Dark Tower series. I am, in fact, reading it for the third time and am on “Wolves of the Cala” Book 5. I have always thought it would be interesting if the show ended as the Dark Tower series ended… I won’t spoil that for you, but I liked it.
Given how much Damon likes the Dark Tower, I’m eager to finish the last three books prior to LOST’s end. (I’m also on Wolves of the Calla, but for the first time.)
I have been reading the Dark Tower series for the first time this summer and I am blown away. I am about one-fourth of the way through the last book. The ending was actually spoiled for me on this site about the time I was midway thorugh the third book. I seem to recall Damon having said that LOST won’t end the way DT does. From what I understand, once LOST is completed, Damon, Carlton and JJ will begin seriously working on the saga of Roland, Jake, Eddie, Suzannah and Oy. I have read that they would prefer to do it as seven movies, but have not ruled out a television format. Personally, I don’t think they could do it justice on network TV…but on HBO or Showtime it could be amazing. Long days and pleasant nights.
I read all of the Dark Tower Series and LOVED THEM….until of course the last chapter of the last book. I was so mad that all that time I had invested in those books was wasted by that terrible ending! I won’t blow it for anyone but I hope that Darlton will not take the easy road like King did.
I for one loved Juliet with James because both are so talented that to me it felt natural to be invested in their relationship even though it played out over a relatively brief period. However, this takes nothing away from enjoyment of Kate with James despite her instability and mixed influence upon any man she has been involved with. The arc of each character (main and minor) has been intriguing so far and it is wonderful to imagine the possibilities for various (albiet not all) issues and themes being resolved in the direction of “redemption” which is what the writers have described the story is essentially about.
It’s pretty confusing how Juliet suddenly exploded as so many’s favorite when she hasn’t had any development as a character in 2 seasons. What did she do in Season 5? Mope over Kate and Sawyer on the rare occasions she was on screen.
But back in season 3 when she actually had great storylines, many people hated her guts. I just don’t get it.
She obviously isn’t very important to the show. The writers stopped giving a crap about her after season 3 and Jacob didn’t bother to visit her. Let her rest in peace for god’s sake!
she got naked in the bed.
It’s funny how every article about Juliet turns into a turf war about the merits of Suliet…
