So will Elizabeth Mitchell be on Lost next season?

Juliet is soooo hot i hope she's on next season they can have kate

It's crazy how many times I've seen it written "Juliette set off the bomb, therefore _____"

Really? I don't recall seeing the bomb explode. What i DID see what Julliette banging on it with a rock, then the screen flashed white and went to the new white Lost screen. That's it. It may have been the bomb exploding, or it may have been just a red herring transition to the white screen.

Juliet will end up in Syria. The others on the Beach.

Personally, I would be glad to see her go. Looking at her creeps me out, in an evil clown face sort of way. And her character was never engaging. She was just sort of ethereally floating around Jack and then Sawyer. And while your at it, please take Kate to. She has become annoying, condescending, and delusional. Watching her is like the visual equivalent of nails on a chalkboard.

Its all speculation at this point since there was no hint on if Jack's plan worked or not. I see 2 possibilities..

First, everything's been reset. The last 5 seasons haven't happened and Oceanic Flight 815 lands safe in L.A. There may be a chance that everyone from 1977 might remember everything as they fold into the timeline. In this case Juliet is still alive and on the Island under Ben's thumb and trying to find out why pregnant women have problems on the island. This all seems unlikely to me. There's usually a big fan backlash when you erase entire seasons of developments and say, "everything you've watched for the past 5 season never happened."

Second, what could have happened is that the bomb, like Miles suggested, was what caused the original incident and nothing has changed. Juliet's dead but rest aren't. First off the bomb was made smaller and more localized. So perhaps it wasnt strong enough to blow up Sawyer, Jack and everyone else with it 100 feet underground. Or(more likely) the explosion triggered another time jump and milliseconds before the nuclear explosion would have killed everyone they jumped in time to present time.

I'm convinced Juliet is gone for good. I don't think they'd erase everything for the last season and try to start over. I think "what's done is done" is true for this show and that they couldnt change anything. In fact they caused the reality they're in by their actions in the past.

The only thing that upsets me is that Locke, the real Locke, may be gone for good. I hope he's not, in fact I'll be very upset if they dont find a way to bring him back, not as a ghost or as a just using the actor to play anti-jacob, but as the real John Locke. Living, breathing, the works.

I liked Juliet but its not a deal breaker if she stays dead. In fact I think it makes Sawyers characters more interesting if she does(especially his relationship with Kate and Jack(whom I presume he'll hate with a passion now))

They are going to jump in time again, just like what happened to Desmond when they blew up the hatch only this time they will reunite with the other losties in 2007. Jacob even said "They're coming". If they end up back on the plane or if they are dead I'll eat my hat.

I have a thought...just thinking out loud here.
What if the bomb didn't go off, but they drilled into the pocket of energy, which was the cause of the time shifting, and it flashed them just as she hit the bomb, then they reset into a different time.
Thoughts, discussions, points of views?
It's just my thought, what do you think.

We know the bomb was leaking, so the "physics package" (as they call it) was already damaged. I don't care how smart Sayid is, he can't fix a broken nuclear warhead. So my bet is only the conventional explosives (which are used to detonate the nuclear warhead) went off, which resulted in an explosion but not a nuclear explosion.

Frankly, we already know the nuke didn't go off, because the island was not radioactive later on in the future (present, whatever). They blew up nukes in Bikini Atoll back in the 60's and it's still radioactive.

So my prediction is that the damaged Judghead warhead did not go critical; rather, only the conventional explosives detonated. The nuke itself, however, was a dud. But there's no realistic way that Juliet could have survived. And I'd been predicting they'd kill her off as she no longer serves a significant purpose on the show. She herself pointed out that Sawyer was still in love w/ Kate.

I really like Elizabeth Mitchell though, and I hope she finds a new role in a new show really quick.

If the bomb 'resets' history, then Juliette will STILL be on the island, as part of the Others. Desmond will still be stuck in the hatch, pressing the button. Jin and Sun will not have a child, either. It makes no sense. I don't think this will be a Bobby Ewing season. Maybe Miles IS right. Personally, I think Jack is a total fool, and have thought this all along. As for Locke, I like the guy, but he was always so darn gullible.
