Off of the island is a toss-up. Jack has shown that he's willing to bring down his father because he believes he did wrong; I suspect he wouldn't help or join Kate were they to be rescued. On the other hand, Sawyer probably would - but they'd certainly be bad influences on one another.

Loyalty would be an issue in terms of all three on OR off the island - each has either cheated despite being married or gotten involved with someone they knew to be married.

On the island? Jack and Kate are (arguably) too different and Sawyer and Kate are (arguably) too similar. You can say "opposites attract," but Jack's sense of nobility and Kate's consistant dishonesty would mean a relationship saturated with distrust and guilt, respectively and justifiably. On the other hand, Kate's clear interest in Jack would (or does) promote jealousy and probably distrust in Sawyer, who seems more interested in Kate than she is in him. Sawyer and Kate both see too much darkness in themselves, and while this on some level lets them find comfort in one another, they both also see too much of their own painful pasts in the other.

But most of it is personal preference, I never saw the chemistry between Kate and Jack. They clearly liked each other, but I saw the attachment as forming too quickly. They were frightened, and clutching on to someone they had bonded with, rather than as actually falling for each other. When Kate found out who Sawyer was, when she read the letter, I think she started to fall for him despite herself. And Sawyer clearly doesn't want to fall for anyone, but his attachment to Kate has deepened, and he seems to abandoned his attempts to get anyone else.

Kate also had some chemistry with Sawyer at that time. And that relationship has only grown since then. She has some trouble because she hates it when he gets scared and tries to push her away. But he has never given her a reason to doubt that he would accept her past if she offered it. Unfortunatelly, there's the added complication of Sawyer reminding Kate of her abusive father. Her speach to him in the episode "What Kate Did" made that clear. It scares her that she's starting to love him and she wants to run away. That's why she kissed Jack. She was trying to force herself to love him instead, but it didn't work and she ran off horrified at what she'd done. After talking with Sawyer at the end, she felt better and things were going well. That is until Sawyer's military coup. She understands that he did it because he was feeling insecure, but she's upset that he used her like that. It might be a couple more episodes before they get back together.

I also think she ran away from Jack after she kissed him because she was overwhelmed and thought that he was too good for her. I think with Sawyer though, she'd be willing to tell him her past only because she knows he's done some rotten stuff too and that way she could actually break down the barrier between her and Sawyer and make him realize that he is way too ** himself. The thing is, Sawyer tries to push Kate away because he hates the fact that someone could actually feel something for him, and he hates it when pushing her away never works. I also think Kate unintentionally pushes Jack away by flirting with Sawyer all the time, and he already knows what it's like to love someone and lose her to someone else, but Jack hasn't really given her a straight answer that explains that so I think their both victims in their stupid "fight," but I still love 'em anyways.

Of course, if she offered to tell her past to Sawyer, he'd lap it all up like devine nectar. That alone may not make him feel any better about himself. But what would help him is knowing that she thought he was worth the effort. His biggest problem is that he believes he's beyond redemption. Every time she makes the effort to reach out to him, he feels just a little bit lighter. If she told him the truth about her past, it wouldn't be to make him feel better. She would do it because, like I said, she needs to have an open and honest relationship with someone. She knows that she can have that with Sawyer. The problem is (and has always been) Wayne. The thing that scares her the most right now is ending up like her mother. She can see that as a definite possiblity if she chooses Sawyer. But she knows that he fits her better.

She's at a fork in the road of life. Down one road, she can see the life she's always wanted. A utopian existence with a great guy. But she would have to hide part of herself for the rest of her life. Down the other road, she can see a life she wanted to leave behind. A path full of trouble and heartache with a guy she has to keep on a short leash. But she could share her entire self there. So which one should she choose? What's more important to her?

I didn't watch all of the first series so this is based mostly on the second. I think that Jack has always had feelings for Kate but then this Ana Lucia walks in and he's not so sure any more. In the meantime, he's trying to take his mind off them both and take watch out for them at the same time. Kate clearly feels comfortable around Sawyer despite the fact he's so cold but he's softening, which is kind of a pity. I think (hope?) Sawyer will end up too proud/scared to admit he's fallen.

Exactly what I was getting at. I think SawyerKate is more likely given the shows record but I don't know. They might just be trying to make JackKate unobvious so that they can end up together. But that's just weird.

I have no doubt that the plane crash appears to be an accident (caused by Desmond no less). But maybe there really was some greater purpose in it. Or could it be that it's up to the characters to give it meaning?

You're totally right, Sawyer is terrified right now.

i accept that Sawyer may have just LIKED the girl he conned, but to say the episode shows that he loves kate is a bit of a joke. isn't the whole thing about how he did the same thing to Kate? and then he grins and ses that even though everybody else hates him, Kate obviously doesn't.

Yeah, Sawyer tries to push everyone away, especially Kate since she scares him the most. He was trying to regress to his former loner state. But Kate's not that easy to chase off. If she wants to get at something, there's no defense that can stand against her.

He was also trying to get his stash (aka. security blanket) back, but that's a different issue entirely.

Not really. He's my little brother incase you are wondering.

Ana is dead now!!!!!!!!!

Oh, well i didn't really like her. She's too mean to Sawyer. Muahaahahaha
