After rewatching the season finale I am convinced that Juliet was pregnant. If you notice the way she carries herself throughout the entire episode its as if she had just realized it. She is consistently holding her hands in front of her stomach the entire episode. The interactions between Bernard and her are also somewhat revealing. Bernard seems to notice that something is up with Juliet when he offers her to stay and have a cup of tea. She then says maybe another time while holding her stomach the way a mother-to-be would. (here is the clip of this scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=of2VgsjywyY&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo%2Egoogle%2Ecom%2Fvideosearch%3Fclient%3Dsafari%26rls%3Den%2Dus%26q%3Dbernard%2520and%2520juliet%2520exchange%26oe%3DUTF%2D8&feature=player_embedded) This may explain why women are no longer able to have children on the island. Perhaps in Juliet and her child to be's deaths the island n! o longer allows children to be born on the island. It would make sense for her story if she, like Daniel and the compass, are forever stuck in a time loop. She is brought to the island to figure out why women and unborn children are constantly dying on the island, only to go back in time and get pregnant herself, setting off the bomb that emits the radiation causing women to not be able to give birth on the island and necessitating the need for Juliet to eventually come to the island. Just like Daniel she is in a never ending time loop of her own fabrication. Juliet's story has now been told all the way through and unfortunately she is most definitely dead. On a side note, and I don't know if this has yet to be mentioned, but I also think that Claire could be dead (perhaps the house explosion). I hope that it is not true, but she began to get very weird after the explosion and the subsequent jaunt through the woods back to the beach. On the way she up and leaves Aaron in th! e roots of a tree while following Christian through the woods ! and then to the cabin. We then see her kicking it all happy go lucky like with Christian in the cabin. She has no concern for where Aaron is or what everyone else is doing. If she is not dead, then perhaps it was her that was tricked into breaking the ash ring. I guess we won't know the answer to these until the last season. Please let me know what you think about these ideas.
