Why do people like Suliet over Jacket?

[doop]

I mean, in Season 3 we saw Juliet's relationship with Jack slowly progress. With Juliet and Sawyer, we just saw them start to become friends and then five three years later  they're a couple. Since we never saw them actually fall in love, I never really felt anything for them. (Plus, Jack didn't shoot Tom.

*three years later

i like them more than jack/kate and juliet/kate because for once in juliet and sawyer's lives, there was no drama. for those three years, there was no Quadrangle O' Love, there was no one trying to kill them, etc. they were happy. and then they lost it all :(

Well Juliet let Jack go in Something Nice Back Home for one thing.

Anyway, I really only like Suliet because I love Juliet and loved seeing her happy for once. I don't really care for Sawyer, but it was clear they loved each other, and he made her happy and that was good enough for me.

She tried doing the same thing with Sawyer in the finale.

In both cases she seemed to think that just because they still had some feelings left for Kate they weren't really in love with her.

Ahh, but those two "let go" moments were RADICALLY different.

You have to remember that Juliet has massive insecurity issues, mind, but her tone and tenure in each of these scenarios was so different that it's hard to make a solid comparison.

Honestly? I never thought Jack and Juliet had any chemistry. And I also think that they would have been terrible for each other.

Sawyer and Juliet together - honestly, I didn't realize how much I would love it until it happened, and then it hit me like a load of bricks out of nowhere.

And they were happy together. They helped each other become better people, stronger people. That's why I love them so much.

Jack and Juliet were brought together in tense, adrenaline pumping situations, and I don't find that relationships based on excitement and passionate feelings like that ever last - from experience. It's also the reason I think Sawyer and Kate would never work.

I agree with your first point completely. In my mind, Jack/Juliet was actually the relationship that got rushed. Sure, she knew everything about him bla bla bla but they never really had much going on. And he never really made her happy. Sure we didn't see Sawyer and Juliet get together, but if we had, I think it would have been a lot slower than how Jack and Juliet 'got together'. Because really, besides a couple of kisses, they never WERE together.

i agree witht his entire comment

I have no idea. I'm not a fan of Suliet though, because Sawyer's character kind of bored me when he was with Juliet, and I don't like him schmoopy like that. It was all too cheesy for me.

Of course that's probably because almost every single couple I ship on TV is fucked up in some small or large way, and I prefer that to just simple ~happiness.

Oh, finally! I thought I was the only one who didn't dig Suliet. I never warmed up to them, probably for the same reasons you mentioned. Plus I felt like they worked better as friends or partners in the kicking-ass sense more than they made sense as a couple.
