Talk:Juliet Burke

Actress
I believe it may be important to add the name of actress portraying said character to the article.

Name
We mention that "Juliet" may not be her real name because Adam calls her "Julie". I don't know but, isn't the latter a shortened version and/or nickname of the former? And also (seriously now), how do we come to the conclusion that Amelia is Juliet's mother? Is it from the way they interact or was it officially mentioned somewhere?- JustPhil 01:50, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Julie is a nickname for Juliet, but not sure if its use is important. Not clear from the show that Amelia (presumably the older woman) is Juliet's mother but it is mentioned elsewhere on spolier blogs. Strange that Juliet is such a bad ass but cannot bake muffins. user:O815

Why does it say her favourite book is carrie? that is not confirmed as the book.

The book cover is that of Carrie.- JustPhil 00:52, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Juliet shouldn't have her own article--she should be in the "Others" page.

Juliet is a main character played by an actress who is billed as such. All main characters of Lost are entitled to their own page.- JustPhil 00:22, 16 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I think that something about her should be on the Others page as well as her main page. Right now there is just her name and a link to the main article, but Ben has a blurb in addition to the link to main article.  She should have something of a blurb and a pic, like there is for ben, or he shouldn't have one (we should be consistent, whichever way). Riverbend 20:30, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

After the 16-week break, it has been said that episode 7 will be a Juliet-centric episode, entitled "Not In Portland". I was going to add, but noticing what they did with the first few episodes, I didn't.

Who said she's a fertility doctor *for the others?* She's a Fertility doctor - that's all. I can't imagine 10 people needing a fertility doctor. Computer Guru 07:11, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * -Maybe we'll find out after the long break where she was working as a fertility doctor...
 * Most likely, she is trained as a fertility doctor and is just the best medical help they have, but I don't think that we can necessarily say that she is not a fertility doctor for the others. I think that there is certainly a possibility that the Others need a fertility doctor - they do not seem to have any of their own kids, they kidnap the kids of other castaways - not that that should go in the article, since we don't know at all, it is just a thought - I think it is right to just include that she is a fertility doctor in general, or that she has been trained as a fertility doctor but appears to provide general medical assistance to the Others. . .

OK, so I've heard that the first episode after the hiatus is definitely called "Not In Portland" and that it's a Juliet-centric episode. I can give you information regarding this if need be, but all I'm looking for now is some confirmation or permission of some kind to add it to the character stats list
 * Can you a cite a reliable source?--Opark 77 20:28, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
 * i found some info on it here
 * Well that site has been known to give some wrong information. I don't think we should write that in as of yet. Chuayw2000 08:24, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I told you that the next episode was Not In Portland ^_^

Burke
It seems pretty clear that Juliet Burke follows the pattern of giving the last names of philosophers (Desmond Hume, Danielle Rousseau, John Locke...), in this case being named after Edmund Burke. Her ex-husband is even named "Edmund Burke". It seems pretty intuitive to me, but does anyone have a source verifying this so we could put it in the article without dispute? Owen 07:44, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * There was a New York Times article that mentions Edmund Burke, not Juliet though. --  Wikipedical 00:25, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

In "Not in Portland", it is revealed at the end that Ben told her that if she let him live, then she could go home. Doesn't this mean that shes being held there against her will? Should we put something in about that? 151.200.44.70 22:40, 9 February 2007 (UTC) Someone

Juliet's education
I'd like to know where that whole first paragraph about her education is coming from.
 * I, too, would like to know where that came from. It wasn't stated anywhere in the episode. Einbierbitte 19:23, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Juliet, despite her delicate, feminine appearance, is obviously well schooled in martial arts. In "Left Behind," she enters the room where Kate is handcuffed (These are actually leg shackles on her wrists. Handcuffs have only a short chain.) and waiting in ambush with a pool cue. She ducks Kate's swing and flips her to the floor. This in no mean feat, as Kate is quite a scrapper. RangerJ 20:03, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Missing image
What happened to the publicity image of Juliet that was in the infobox? NorthernThunder 19:12, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
 * HMS Matthew is deploying at flank speed. Apparently deleted as "replaceable", certainly isn't. Matthew 19:21, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Trivia
That's a bit pointless, so i removed it.
 * Juliet's sister Rachel, named her son Julian, a masculine form of the name Juliet.

And a bit incorrect. Julian is a feminine name as well so Juliet is not a feminine form of Julian. 08:51, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Name Reference
The articles for Danielle Rousseau and John Locke mention where the creators got the names for these characters from (without citation). Shouldn't this article have a similar mention that Juliet was named after the character from Romeo and Juliet? Going to place it there along with the citation. --4.249.84.97 06:15, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Literary Reference?
I'm thinking this needs something done, for a couple reasons: a) A movie which Elizabeth Mitchell acted in doesn't qualify as a literary reference by any means. b) Furthermore, its not even really a reference, just an interesting coincidence. So I've gone ahead an removed it. ObsidianOps
 * The actress who plays Juliet, Elizabeth Mitchell, was in a movie called Frequency in 2000 where she played a nurse who was being stalked by a killer named "Jack Shepard".

Season 5 copyright violation
The entire section for season 5 was apparently copied wholesale from Lostpedia. I have blanked the section and ask that it be rewritten entirely. --Jackieboy87 (talk · contribs) 16:16, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Where is the proof she's the mother of Jack's son in the flash-sideways?
It says in the Season 6 blurb before the Season finale it will show she is his ex-wife an David's mother. Is this just spam? I doubt a spoiler lke that would leak, let alone be confirmed this early. 72.45.119.205 (talk) 04:00, 28 March 2010 (UTC)


 * There isn't any, and I have removed the statement in question. --Jackieboy87 (talk · contribs) 12:18, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Spoiler in summary
Is it really a good idea to detail the character's death within the first couple of sentences? I've not yet watched any episodes with this character in it, but it's great to know in advance how she's going to die - thanks for that! 81.159.151.79 (talk) 19:59, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Removed:
 * and died in the sixth season opening episode. After learning of her character's fate of being killed off of the series, the actress read the script for V and subsequently landed the lead role. Juliet dies in James "Sawyer" Ford's arms from her injuries after she sets off the Jughead bomb. 81.159.151.79 (talk) 18:37, 30 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Restored, the lead summarized the article, spoilers a re not removed just because they are spoilers: WP:SPOILER.  X  eworlebi (talk) 20:56, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

wat
'near her sister Rachel's (Robin Weigert) apartment.' is awkward. '(2 para under Character's background --> Prior to arrival on the island)'.

I have not seen the flashback where we learn this yet. can someone reword? skakEL 13:37, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

k, one more
Despite her docile nature, Juliet, alluding to her ends justify the means philosophy, was performing unauthorized experiments on her sister, Rachel.

I removed alluding to her ends justify the means philosophy,. first, "alluding to" is used incorrectly. if the orig author meant that when we see her perform experiments on her sister that the show's writers are further illustrating or fleshing out a theme or thread from earlier episodes, cool. but juliet is not alluding to anything when she performed unauthorized experiments. second, if she has that philosophy, that is cool, too. but I have not seen the relevant episode, so I will leave it to other 'pedians to put that back in. if you want to say she has that philosophy, OK with me. if you do so, be clear & encyclopædic & non-crufty. thanks. skakEL 13:58, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

The Real Grrlzzz
I strenuously disagree with actress Elizabeth Mitchell's assessment of her TV character! "Juliet" was put in an impossible situation with her husband: A man as odious as Ben Linus! Plus, she was desperate to save her sister from cancer, and besides all that, she had an abiding dedication to make sure her talents in medicine would not go to waste, and again, use them for her sister's sake. When Juliet finally realized that the mysterious "opportunist", Richadus, deceptively offered her a chance at original, productive research, and the promise to cure her sister (and the shock that the same Ricardus was responsible for killing her husband in an "convenient" traffic "accident" she greedily drinks the "kool-aid" knowing that she would be swept away to a far unknown place! The manipulation by Ben Linus of terror, hopelessness, desperation, unconditional love and altruistic, selfless dedication was truly all that drove the character "Juliet Burke". (She is freed from a 'wolf', only to have a 'coyote' (Ben) nipping at her heels! *Sheesh*! It's still rough out here for an independent, professional female!!! (And really, Ive been searching for another character among the "Lost" cast intriguing enough to call my attention to the character. It was only because of the "tepid", truly undeserved derision to Elizabeth Mitchell's performance by "critics" of the episode "The Other Woman", that compelled me to look over the actress, and her character's actions further! She's the only regular female "action" character cast member that isn't violent, nor has blood on her hands!!! --184.248.3.83 (talk) 23:36, 27 December 2015 (UTC)Veryverser — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.207.8.123 (talk)
