Long replies are good, great even! I came to the fandom very recently and "discovering" a fandom everybody is already over with is a little bit sad because it seems like everything had been said and done and I still need to talk about the show :)
I haven't seen the last three episodes because I couldn't see on TV and since I knew what was going to happen I really didn't have the motivation to download them and YouTube blocked them in my country so yeah. YouTube's such a racist! :) Anyway, I have to say that I really enjoyed those episodes when Hyde talked about Jackie. I don't remember which ones they were but there's this scene with Hyde and Randy looking for a baggie somewhere in Formans' house and when an alarm goes off, Hyde's all: Huh, it reminds of Jackie. Seriously, maybe I'm just a pathetic human being but that was actually something in love with Jackie!Hyde would say - while dating her. I also found the episode with the ring searching very interesting because you could seriously cut the tension with a knife. So I do see some Jackie/Hyde accents in Season 8, too.
I can also understand Jackie's crush on Fez because you're totally right about her searching a safe relationship and with that childish list she made Fez was a given but I have to say my other (besides, you know, ruining my favourite pairing stuff) issues with Jackie being with Fez is that I just know they wouldn't make it and I feel really sorry for Fez. Of course the ideal ending would be with both of them deciding they are better of as friends because them dating is more than a little "eww!" but still. Fez is just so unlucky in love! If you don't count Kelso :) Plus, Fez is totally in love with Kelso. I love you for saying that! :)
It also makes sense that Jackie would fall for the last male, non-Eric member of the group - she really hasn't dated outside their little circle, she's never dated anyone who wasn't already her friend and I think that meeting new people could be very hard for her. It would be more fun to watch on the show than her dating Fez but still.
On some level Jackie trying to date Fez seems logical. Her being with Fez in a serious and stable relationship - not so much, but we didn't see that on the show so we can suspect that never happened. But another problem with Fez was how much I didn't like the way he was written in Season 8. I mean, okay, he was the comic relief type of a character and just like Kelso wasn't supposed to grow too much or change drastically but I hated how they made him such an unbelievable pervert. And because of that I didn't buy Jackie/Fez even in the innocent crush categories because damn, he was disgusting by the time she started liking him!
Yeah, maybe if Topher and Ashton didn't leave the show, there wouldn't be a need to introduce new characters and everything would be fine?
However, I do think that Season 8 could do without the whole drama - I mean, it a sitcom, it's allowed to be little more fluffy than real life!

I have nothing of value to add because I haven't watched the commentaries. I was reading the comments to see if there had been any explanation because I truly expected Hyde and Jackie to be endgame as well.
However, since you mentioned fanfic and that you were new to the fandom, I'd like to point you towards my favorite J/H epic that made living with season 8 less painful: November Rain. It's long, but it's complete and it's perfect.

Thank you! I've read other stories by luvcali and I loved them! I didn't start November Rain because it's really long and I have midterms but I've heard about it and I can't wait to read it :) I also love tanith's "Season 8 Redo" - yes, it's cute and it's fluffy but I don't care, dammit! It's what I'd like to watch instead of the real Season 8 :)
If we're reccing things I can only say that I have some good stories on my favourites list in my ff.net profile and here. I do know that most of them are really popular but I also tried to find things less known in the fandom... I can honestly recommend all of them :)

It's good we still have fanfiction :)
