Lost: Should Sawyer be with Kate or Juliet?

by Bob Sassone, posted Mar 5th 2009 1:03PM
LostAs the great philosopher Rick Springfield once said, you better love somebody, it's late. You better love somebody, don't wait. You better love somebody, don't...tempt fate. That's sort of what happened with Sawyer and Juliet did on last night's episode of Lost, isn't it?

Kate is gone, and Sawyer didn't know if he was going to see her again. Same with Jack. Juliet didn't know what was going to happen. So Sawyer and Juliet got together. I'm not saying that they "settled" for each other because they didn't have anyone else (though when you're on an island and you don't have many choices...). I'm sure they actually fell in love in the three years depicted in the episode.

And then at the end, Kate returns to the island and Sawyer has to deal with all of it again. Oh oh. (This show has something for everybody, whether you like soap opera love triangle plots or killer smoke monsters and time travel.)

Is the Sawyer/Kate coupling the big love story on the show? Are we, at this point, as fans, supposed to cheer them on because they are destined to be together? I don't mean destined because the island wants them together, I mean destined to be together as each other's true love, the way the storytelling has been up to this point. Or are we supposed to see her and Jack being together forever, raising Aaron?

Of course, there's another solution we're not even considering. Jack goes with Sawyer and Kate goes with Juliet. I don't care much about the former, but the latter sounds rather intriguing.

Kate should stay far, far away from Sawyer. I don't get Kate's supposed heart-break over Sawyer. All she ever did was use him. She never wanted him, she only wanted Jack. Well, guess what? She deserves Jack. They're both friggin' boring and belong together! I know this entry is a few months old, and now with the season finale already aired, Sawyer has already kinda 'lost' Juliet.... but they really were great together. They brought maturity and stability to each other's lives. I hope they bring her back in season 6, but if not.... I'd rather have Sawyer with Sayid in a slash orgy of yumminess, than with pathetic Kate.

i never liked sawyer and kate. kate was always a selfish little bitch with sawyer, and used him. and she keeps playing the hot and cold game with jack, and that's annoying cause he really doesn't deserve that.

sawyer and juliet are definitely the best couple so far on lost, with the exception of jin and sun, and claire and charlie.

Though I was initially a Skater, Kate's inability to grow up makes her a bad choice for either men. Kate has had opportunity upon opportunity to settle down, and she has always reverted back to running.

While I agree that Sawyer has not forgotten her, I pray he realizes that what he has with Juliet is far more stable and real than anything he had with Kate. To put it simply, Kate is the girl you grow out of; Juliet is the girl you grow into.

And perhaps Jack will serve as an example for Sawyer. Though it's a common fact that the poor doc has been screwed up since day one, Kate's repetitive use of him has irrevocably messed him up (like, way more than seeing his dead dad). I mean, I'm all for gratuitous sex scenes, but really, Kate. That was inexcusable.

I think Sawyer and Juliet were adorable. I have such a problem with Kate. She annoys me to no end and I'd just as soon she leave Jack and Sawyer alone. They better do something to her character soon, because I am liking her less and less.

I think Kate should be with the smoke monster.
Juliet and Sawyer looks good together. Sawyer should stay with her because she's a good woman.
About Jack, he needs to just hang himself.

Sawyer and Kate have the most romantical storyline i ever saw on my tv, they're complex but they understood eachother, they shared some secret secret, he changed 'cause of her, he became what he's now because he let's james be here and it's kate who bring james in life. right now i said i don't want sawyer and kate together, i want them to reconnect, to share feeling about the lost of their child (aaron and clementine) i want to see flirt and tension, i want to see the old skate, they're ready to be together BUT not really too, what i mean it's they grown and can be in serious relationship (sawyer proved with juliet) and they were separated for 3 years, he never gave up her return, she cared his promise as the last memory of lost love, that's OTP and now i want to see the new sawyer and kate together, learn to know eachother again, fall in love again and i can say, juliet is here to bring tension and angst, i'm sure he loves her (after 3 years it's normal) BUT his true love is his freckles :)
great article and thanks for your opinion too, the quote about "Rick Springfield"
and i could say too by "Stephen Stills" : And if you can't be with the one you love, honey,love the one you're with." and that's what sawyer did but as diane said one day to kate, "you can't help who you love" :)

Sawyer and Kate by far. It's pretty much obvious that Juliet it's an obstacle for the main pair, and that is Skate.
