Fate? The bigger picture...

About all the stuff I’ve been reading about Skate vs. Jate spoiler biznass on Dark UFO’s site…

 

Damon and Carlton said (I believe in a podcast) that one of them is a Skater and one of them is Jater, and they have made the decision about who Kate would end up with in Kate's best interest, the best interest of the overall story. Which whatever our ships may be, that's what we'd really want, right? Because the show is soooo much more than just their "relationships" that for the most part haven't been explored to that great an extent (with both ships)....

Having Kate go back and forth so shamelessly takes away from her character, and definitely does not portray the strong willed woman she really is…. I love Sawyer and Kate together, so I guess I could be classified as a skater. But what I love about them is that he is the most natural option. They just fit, they are the same and from the beginning they saw through the masks and walls their pasts lead them to put up. There was a connection for sure, and it seemed almost wrong at first, but when they started to play into it more people started to like the idea. Plus, Evangeline and Josh have a beautiful chemistry, and they way it transfers on-screen is thrilling to watch and see develop. Starting as early as Tabula Rasa, we started to see that Sawyer spoke to Kate in a different way than he did the others, and acted differently around her.

I’ve been re-watching the series, and to be fare there are a bunch of Jate moments season one that are kind of cute, and made me smile.

Yea, I’d like to see Kate end up with Sawyer; because I love both characters, and I think they deserve the happiness/peace their feelings bring out.  But if they didn’t end up together because it didn’t work into the better bigger picture (even if that were to involve Jack) that’s what I would want… Beacause it’s the story as a whole that’s why I watch. And keeping it natural, even at the expense of Skate… I’d want that ending.

But, will they end up together?… I don’t think that we’ll get a true answer to this triangle until 2010… ross and Rachel style. It wouldn’t be as interesting if we didn’t have to wait. Point A and Point B aren’t what intrigues us all… it’s everything that happens in between to take them there.

The thing that I question about Episode 4 and kate/sawyer/jack… is that I imagine her trial would take place before the FF in TTLG…. So clearly things have deteriorated since then…and we clearly know the ‘he’ isn’t sawyer… all these things are fun and I can’t wait to watch. The idea of adding to Kate’s story to include some surprising and monumental details would be awesome. Being the lead female of the show I think she needs to be given a greater purpose/story, and I’d love to see Evangeline play with that arc… I like the Annie idea, that would totally be a WTF moment, but something tells me with TPTB having the rest of the series mapped out… these reveals are going to be mostly outside the realm of our guessing…
