Why Jack and Juliet Should Be Together

Jack and Juliet are people of action. They forged their relationship from the perspective of professionals working long hours together. They’re both doctors but, more than that, they’re both people who want to see change. In the old days that change usually meant stopping Ben but it could be anything. They’re the kind of people who would spend a year in Africa together helping the sick because they just wouldn’t be satisfied sitting at home together.

Compare that to rivals Kate and Sawyer. Kate was a fugitive. Sawyer was a con man. Neither one of them is used to planning ahead. It shows. They’re impulsive, emotional and always seem to be at the root of other people’s unhappiness. They deserve each other and that’s no compliment.

Jack and Juliet are at a different point in their lives. They’re ready to get serious. They’re capable of a commitment. If Kate and Sawyer will ever be ready to settle down they’re not there yet. At a certain point Jack and Juliet have got to get over the grade school notion that the kids who are the center of all the drama are more exciting and interesting then people who are capable of forming stable relationships and getting good grades.

Jack and Juliet could actually be brilliantly happy together. The first days of a relationship with Kate or Sawyer might be far more exciting - even the first months. But in the long run they’ll have more exciting adventures together. What’s so boring about a year in Africa helping the sick, anyway?
