I'm posting this and figure I'm going to get "shot down" but am I the only one who thinks that Juliet's ex's bus accident was selective memory on her part? I'm beginning to think that Juliet is on the island to cure a mental breakdown. That is, I think she pushed her ex in front of the bus but dosen't remember. She wanted so badly to take the job offer and was constantly humilated by her ex and then with the announcement from her sister she snapped and got rid of the only thing she felt was stopping her and preventing her ex from "publishing" her work.
Any thoughts?.

I haven't actually seen the ep yet, but with the amount of Spoiler info there has been for it I practically have anyway. My take was something along the lines of coincidence vs fate. But your idea would fit very well with LostSanity's theories about VR therapy. You should check them out if you haven't already.
Like I said above i think Dharma had everything to do with the bus hitting him, however couldn't he have been more cautious? Instead of stepping off the curb without looking and then just standing there?!! Maybe they all need some lessons in crossing the street!! Remember Michael in a flashback getting hit by a car, then Locke in the parking lot got hit as well! I think they need some help learning how to walk in traffic!!
Seems pretty improbable to me that Dharma could arrange an accident like that - having the bus come speeding down just as he walks into the street without paying attention? Maybe it was just a "lucky" coincidence.
Wanders - I think you have an interesting theory there. My problem with it is that there were a number of witnesses and someone would have fingered her as the pusher.
why I dont like mike - he shot Ana-Lucia and Libby

Re: Bus accident?
Well, she mentiones to the interviewee that 'she wanted her exhusband to be hit by a bus' so she could take the job....
And she even suspected that in the morgue when the interviewee showed up.
Coincidence? I don't believe in them, especially when it comes to LOST. Everything that happens on LOST happens for a reason and there is a story behind it. I believe that Dharma wanted Juliet so badly, that after that comment, they arranged it. I would find it even more wierd if Ethan or Ben was driving that bus.

Pov..no problem there. If the courts found her not sane enough to stand trial and this is therapy to get her "sane" again. Who knows?

I like this idea. Hard to think it was planned that a city bus just happened to be speeding by when the Ex stepped from the curb and was struck. Had to have a police investigation after MVA caused a death.
A bit morbid, sure, but I just couldn't help it.
