I think ultimately they WILL detonate Jughead, but it wont be this season, even though they are alluding to the fact that they might.
I think they need to go back in time via Faradays Time Machine contaption and detonate the H-Bomb in the 50's. Maybe blow up the magnetic abnomality before it can screw things up.
Stepping back from the characters & story and looking at it from a fan's perspective, I kind of hope they don't. It will seem like a letdown if this show which has been so masterfully made to keep us guessing about the mysteries and goings-on of the Island uses a worn-out plot trick to negate everything we have been so vested in for the last 5 years.
Plus I always thought that Jughead was probably converted into the "Fail Safe" device.

I'm guessing that the bomb won't go off. Since this is a pure guess, based on absolutely nothing but my own limited imagination, I don't need to Spoiler-Font this. But I think that the way this will play out is that Jack will figure out how to get the thing to detonate, and there will be some huge dramatic activity associated with this, just as there was when we saw the Swan finally go ballistic and Desmond keyed the fail safe. But at the very last second on the countdown before the bomb goes off (and there HAS to be some kind of countdown clock - right?), that the big anticipated Incident will occur, and the huge release of electromagnetic energy will destroy the hydrogen bomb (among other things), which will make it so that it can no longer be exploded.
Pure insanity, one of my favority theories, to even think of it after knowing what we now know about A bombs, etc. Where are the Losties going to get away from it and most importantly HOW are they going to detonate it? I say bring Keamy back! How is the hatch going to be there in 2004 if it blows up in 1977? Far away is not far enough. The writers would not really let them do that would they? Nahhh, Jughead is a dud!
I CAN RESIST JUST ABOUT ANYTHING ... EXCEPT TEMPTATION
Um, is it not occurring to anyone that the idea behind all this doesn't make any sense? All the scientific pretext for the 2nd to last climax to be predicated on such weak ground would be disappointing; from a scientifically minded fan's point of view, anyway. I've got to think there's something better, but there going off of the reputation they earned in the first four seasons, not this one.....so far.
