As far as Juliet not dying from the fall - If the things that fell down the shaft hit the bottom hard, the bomb would have gone off. For whatever reason, I think she and the bomb both had a fairly smooth landing at the bottom. Whether that's a result of the electromagnetism or just the Island defending itself, I think that's why it happened the way it did. The debris and things formed sort of a cocoon around her, which leads me to think that something about the specific part where they landed is significant and we'll find out more in January.
I think Juliet is probably dead, but I don't think the explosion made its way up to the surface, meaning the radiation and electromagnetism is still down in the Swan, which means Dharma will need to cover it with some sort of device (a hatch, if you will) to keep it from infecting the rest of the Island. It also keeps with the hatch people assuming that anyone on the outside is infected, because every time they push the button, it releases electromagnetism and H-bomb radiation into the atmo.
Plus, the swerve at the end about John was phenomenal, but now I need to read up on my Egyptian mythology to figure out who he could be. Is "John" Anubis, judging Jacob for what he's done on the Island? So, does that make Smokey the crocodile/lion/hippo Amit? Or is "John" Amit, Jacob Anubis, and Smokey something else entirely? Or is the significance of the Egyptian symbolism something else entirely and I'm pushing my brain too hard to tie it into the Jacob/"John" story?
God, I love this show!
