With Buffy death you knew she would come back some how. It was her show. But they did go out of their way to make Buffy's death cliffhanger at the end of season 5 seem real. From all writers being adamant Buffy was dead. To clues that Geller was working on other projects. Even the grave with the headstone and the beging of season 6. The first two episodes they even use the Buffy bot to make us think this was the new direction the show was going.

When Buffy did come back she was not the same Buffy. The writers really drove that point home by having Buffy having sex with spike upstairs in the crowed club.

With Juliette you could have the show go one without her. After the Buffy stunt they may be playing off that to make us think she could return. My problem is why? Why kill Juliette. She could have gotten on the helecopter and left. Then to have the emotional death with not apparent purpose. Then to have Tubel shoot her with the crossbow, just seemd like a quickly added plot twist.
