Please respond to this topic you want but the idea of this poll is to see how many people would stop watching the show just because Jack and Kate were no longer on the show.

I would surely miss them but I wouldn't stop watching.

I wouldn't stop watching unless it affected the storylines to the point where the show wasn't worth watching anymore... I actually don't really like either character as much as some others do, so I'd be fine if they weren't on it...

I wouldn't stop watching. The other people on the island have interesting stories too. Thats what I care about, the story.

I wouldn't stop watching, if fact, I'd probably be even more compeled to tune in every week if something happened to them. Killing the two leads off would certainly be shocking and I would constantly worry about the safety of the other survivors.

That and...not much of a Jack or Kate fan... :-\

Your options 1 and 3 in the poll are the same.

Your options 1 and 3 in the poll are the same.

Funny you should mention this. When the total tally has been done, if there ever is a final tally, option one and three will be added together. My original intent was for every person voting no just to vote no and not the third option. I only added the third option to prove a point to a particular member of this website and I was wanting to express my personal opinion threw a poll and I voted for this third answer. Yes, option one and three have the same resolve.

sorry but it wouldn't prove much because not everyone that watches the show is on this site, and there aren't a lot of* J/K fans here anyway. Also it was mentioned that for the ppl who do tune in large part for them, the effect would be more over a span of a time vs. instantly. If you add 1+3 it's designed to evoke a certain result because even I feel the show is about more characters than Jack and Kate. I don't think you'd know how it feels til it actually happened anyway.

You should have added option 3 as "Depends on how good the death scene is...".

I love a good death scene, myself. Now, if they mess with Locke, that's another kettle of red herrings...


Having some fun, now... :sorcerer:

Well, there should be an option for those who aren't sure what they would do.......everything is not black & white....sometimes there are shades of gray.

* Well now it depends on if you think they are already dead now doesn't it?* *BWA HA Ha ha a

* I agree with the earlier post that said it would depend on how it was done.* If they both died
* in the same episode, the same time, etc.* There are many other stories to tell on this island.

sorry but it wouldn't prove much because not everyone that watches the show is on this site, and there aren't a lot of* J/K fans here anyway.

But the only opinions I care about Banshee are the members and future members of this website. I have not put an end date to this poll so if more people come along you share your opinion then your option will have the numbers you hope to achieve. I wonder why a majority of the people here at thefuselage are not over joyous about Jack and Kate like you are?

But to respond to your first statement. This poll will prove quite a bit to the person who started the poll because he or she would have not started the poll if he or she did not care about the opinion or the members and future members of thefuselage. Maybe BanShee does not think the people who vote here can prove much but the person who did this poll cares deeply and thinks much can be done and proved by the members and future members of thefuselage.


Also it was mentioned that for the ppl who do tune in large part for them, the effect would be more over a span of a time vs. instantly. If you add 1+3 it's designed to evoke a certain result because even I feel the show is about more characters than Jack and Kate. I don't think you'd know how it feels til it actually happened anyway.

I understand what BanShee means about option one and three being combined and I have had a change of heart to adding the two options together. I will now add option one and three together and multiply by two for the total. Does this help BanShee?

How does BanShee know what any person "feels" as she put it besides here own. What you think BanShee and what other people think may be different. Being different is what makes the human brain so astounding.

:) Just add my two cents, and please think, My What, that I don’t want to be aggressive in any way (my bad English often betrays my thought…).

Never really liked polls, because it’s often biased and never subtle, and, like Banshee and LostNLuvinIt, I’m not a “dark vs light” (sorry, Mr Locke,* :laugh: !), “black vs white”, “evil vs good” person…

I think that your poll is biased: you suggest the death of Jack and Kate only as a COUPLE, not as two leads and two separate characters having other actions in the story than mooning over each other. So, obviously, those who dislike their potential love story and the screen time that the writers are giving to it are going to vote “no”, EVEN though they love one of them, or both, as lead(s)…

For me, answering that poll is a “lose/lose situation”: I love Jack and Kate separatly AND as potential lovers, so if one of them is killed off, I would be very very very sad, and I think the story, as presented to us since the pilot part 1, would greatly suffer of that. At least for the first season! Now, if the second season we all hope for takes a completely different direction, focusing on other characters (actual regulars or background characters), why not? JJ Abrams and the writers are talented enough to ensure our interest.

But they better be talented enough to justify the death of two main leads!* *>:(* ;D

So.. I think I’m not going to vote right away! But be sure I love Jack, I love Kate, and I love Jack and Kate.
How awful, I know!* ;)

Mywhat you make me dizzy LOL. I don't know how everyone feels. I can say today if they killed off Sayid I wouldn't be heartbroken or tune out, but maybe I'd feel differently after it was done. Why are Fuselage not so pro J/K? Imho(emphasizing opinion) it's mostly guys ,which not all, but typically have a tendancy to not care so much about the romance thing, let alone it being the most enjoyable aspect of the show for them...I know my dad, brother, and guy friends don't give a hoot and holler if J&k are romantic* :P . They don't dislike it, but they can survive w/o unless Kate is showing some skin LOL. Jack is actually all of their fav character as he is mine. If Kate was gone it would suck* :'( -but I'd probably still want to see Jack.

Jack/Kate are like a gift wrapped in pretty paper...The show as a whole is good, so with them ensconced in it, it makes them even more appealing. So as I said even I probably wouldn't tune out asap but over time I might feel too much was missing.* :-\

If you only care about the opinions of the ppl on this site, then your poll will prove Fuselage ppl wouldn't care if they died...However, the fans aren't only on the Fuselage....they're probably even millions of ppl who just watch the show and aren't part of any forum. Take the poll to another site which has a lot of ships and the outcome may reflect differently...It's like trying to take an unbiased political sampling
in an area that's primarily one party over the other...So the only accurate way to determine how such a thing would effect the audience as a whole vs a specific site, is if it happened. The Nielsen's would be the real poll whether it be w/J/K or any other character.

I had to vote yes because I love Jack and Kate together as well as separately. Lost is a great show but they're what do it for me.

Generally speaking, I'm usually not impressed by the leads in a show or movie. Most are very broadly drawn, not terribly complex. Nothing too challenging so they appeal to a wide range of people. And that's boring to me. So the side characters are always more interesting because they don't have to be all things to all people. I do think Jack and Kate are more complex than your average leads, though, which is nice. Both have wide annoying streaks, which is unusual, and it's good for once to see a leader/hero who doesn't want that job, and who doesn't just automatically step up to the plate, either. Jack's a bit of a self-centered brat, and that's a good thing, if you ask me. Kate is practically an anti-hero, and not in the hooker with a heart of gold sense, which is also cool. She's neither the femme foil for the macho hero, nor the knee jerk spitfire reaction to that (whom you know will eventually be "tamed" by love. Retch.) She's a spitfire, sure, but she's not being weakened by her attraction to Jack, and I don't think they'll let her be. Her weaknesses are in areas other than love and romance and other typically girly things.

BanShee: How you are wrong again. You stated this website is mostly guys :lol2: Check again bud. http://www.thefuselage.com/threaded/index.php?action=stats This part of the website proves the website is a 1:3.7 ratio favoring women. I hate to prove people wrong but do your research first please.

Why take this poll to another website, the reason I am here at this one is because this is the only true website out there in the internet world. I only want the opinion of members and future members here at this website. Understood. I am a guy, I love women and do not get turned on by men, and OMG, I love romance movies and or shows. And once again you are wrong. I am going to get you proof on this but most of the writers of Romantic comedies are men, straight men. Men love Romance and do care about the romantic aspect of a show. Look at Speaker for god sakes. Speaker is married to a women (I do not think Speaker is Bi, but we will leave this up to him to discuss) and Speaker is the biggest Jack and Kate thumper on the website. Do not write men do not care about the aspect of relationships, so naive.

Fate815: No where in the "poll" does it say anything about Jack and Kate being a couple. If you have read one of my threads then maybe I have wrote about the two being together but this has nothing to do with the poll itself. The poll states: If Jack and Kate were no longer on the show Lost. Do you see anything about Jack and Kate being a couple there. :no2: your wording did betray your thought if you truly meant what you wrote.

i'm leaving my sexuality a spoiler. I like the speculation too much ;-)

mywhat-you make it point that ppl shouldn't generalize but you've done it yourself on occasion ..

as an example:<No person here said Jack should not be gay because of any issues to deal with real life. No person cares about this.>

How can you be sure no one person cares?

I stated my opinion, I didn't think most guys care for romance above all else on Lost, and I don't. I haven't looked at any ratios so ok there's more women here, but a total of 18 ppl have answered the poll on a thread that has 177 hits...* I didn't say all men dislike romance, in fact I said even the guys I knew didn't dislike it, it just wasn't what makes them eager to see the show...It has nothing to do with being naive, it has to do with personal experience......I have come across a lot of shippers on many boards so* going off my experiences, speaker is an exception because most I have run into are female. It doesn't mean there aren't male ships out there, but they, again in my experience, have been less inclined to chat about it or make themselves known.

Just because writers for romantic comedies are mostly men doesn't mean they tune into another show for the romance. It's their job to write not a personal statement per se.

You* want badly to be right about your theories which is understandable , but you've taken some statements out of context..The poll was started on the notion it would prove that the Lost audience as a whole wouldn't stop watching if Jack & Kate died because the romance would be gone, then it turned into Jack & Kate as individual characters, & now it's just to prove ppl on the Fuselage vs. the whole Lost audience wouldn't stop watching. So the poll at the outset was a generalization to represent all the Lost audience.

This started off as a fun debate but it's gotten all squirrelly* :P* *...Dude we both love Jack and I think you even like Kate (you even said you're rooting for J/K in the 1st reply but I'm not sure if that's the case? ) so let's just leave it at that and call it a day.* 8) We have more in common than not.

I really hope Jack and Kate will not be "the romance" on this show. Frankly, I hate it when the predictable couples get together. Simply because it's so damn predictable. Jack and Kate are the Rachel and Ross of this thing. They're the Tidus and Yuna. They're the "name your predictable couple and insert names here" of the thing. It'd be so much more radical, and so much more *interesting* if they didn't end up together. If it wasn't real tru luv. If Jack and Kate got together, I'd keep watching the show, but its entertainment value would drop by a lot. This isn't the kind of show I'm expecting emotional satisfaction from. (In fact, I'm already kinda "Dude, where's my eviscerations!?" :P) I like a show that does what I'm not expecting.

well, I'm of the mindset obvious doesn't necessarily=boring or uninteresting as long as it's written well. Lots of unpredictable stuff has been done for shock value on shows which haven't been conducive to good story telling..It's not like we know every moment coming up in their relationship. It's kinda like why bother to get married to the person you love because it's obvious and you can predict your whole life.

I like evisceration as much as the next person LOL, but this is a character driven show so it is designed in part to make us be involved with ppl's relationships for the emotional aspect. It's to illustrate how humans deal with normal things in extraordinary situations...It's why JJ said the show is not about the monster or island, but the characters 1st, then the island as a character. Yet it's not a soap opera so I think it's achieved a good balance. Romance included which is as human as anything else.

*g* Yeah, I'm just saying there's a lot that can be done that's NOT Jack/Kate, and occasionally it'd be nice to see the two main character types NOT shag. The two main character types always shag. Except, Squaresoft promises, in the new Final Fantasy XII game, but even then, I don't believe them! (Although I'm trying very hard to and want to.) It'd be nice to see Kate get with Sayid. Or Sawyer. Or, heck, Charlie. Or to get with Sayid AND Sawyer and then confess and ask Jack for advice and for Jack to be like "Durh?" I mean, come on, there's so much that could come out of left field and be a pleasent surprise. I understand the show is a psychological drama (that doesn't stop me from wanting horrible deaths!), but when things play out just like they seem I get terribly bored. Of course, you're right, they could do some good stuff with Kate/Jack. It just screams "underambitious" to me, though, in concept. XP

My What, the poll didn’t say anything about Jack and Kate being a couple, but it’s obviously in everyone’s mind (yours included) when they answer the poll! Then the poll is biased and you know it ;)

I totally agree with banshee (and on her another points too, BTW!), a huge majority of shippers on TV land are female. There are obviously some “male shippers” (kudos to you, speaker!), but they are never as vocal as the female shippers! I’m sure many men have difficulties to admit their ship in public (mini-coming out, :D!), unless they are married and no suspect of having “a feminine side too developed” (I have read that kind of semi-insult…).

The shippers are a fanbase very productive (fansites, fanart, fanfiction and so on) and therefore very useful (and free!) for the producers! (ahem, producers of Lost, I’m just saying, not threatening you! not at all... *;D), but there are already MANY active J&K shippers outside The Fuselage… Don’t disappoint them! *;) )

“The writers and producers of romantic shows and movies love that kind of story”… yeah, maybe, sometimes, why not? But, come on! they know there is always a huge public (mostly female) for romantic stories, so it’s a relatively safe operation and a great source of profits!

As for romance "predictable "or not, in my view, in ANY show with beautiful people, ALL the romances are predictable! If you feel more at ease with this character pairing with that character, or you want your favorite actor to get some lovin’ on screen, it’s completely understandable, and yes, you might be disappointed and angry because of the couple(s) chosen by the writers...

Personally, what is important to me is that romance(s) don’t take all the place *in the story, be well-written (like banshee said) and *well-acted by talented actors having chemistry together. For me, so far, it’s totally the case on Lost!

:)

Ugh. See. I hate that idea of worrying about if your audience is going to be dissapointed. That's why Marvel Comics churns out so much painfully low quality work each year. I mean, honestly, as a writer ( not yet professional, still hammering out the kinks at school and working on some personal projects like http://www.a-elohim.com ) I'm not always brimming with self esteem -- And if you don't have reasonable doubts about the possible flaws of your own work put down your pencil and go back to school. You're over. It's done. You've stopped evolving and now it's gonna run straight into the ground. -- but the day I stop trying new stuff and challenging my audience is the day I become an accountant like my mom. I will only be dissapointed or angry if the writers toss out some crap to 'appease' anybody instead of writing the characters they know in their heads. That's what I'm afraid Jack/Kate will be. Gratification. Like the crappy, crappy whimper-instead-of-a-bang ending to Friends where Rachel gives up her dreams and aspirations to live in New York with Ross and it tastes like bile.

I don't even understand the "favorite actor" comment.* :-\ I don't want to sound off-putting here but whether Naveen Andrews or Emilie de Ravin get any is, for me, completely between them and thier signifigant others. If I'd like to see Sayid or Claire get some is a different story. Around here is where that whole RPS idea goes terribly wrong.* :P

I know television isn't high art, and you gotta do things with profits in mind. But, at the same time, not challenging your audience to think, and worry, and consider things other ways is at best mediocre and more often poor writing.*

that's just it, Lost doesn't have poor writing and it does challenge you to think..It's JJ Abrams man. I'm an Alias fan and Sydney and Vaughn were totally obvious from day one but they're still interesting. Heck they made Vaughn get married and added a murderous wife into the mix... You'd think I'd hate that arc as a Syd/Vaughn shipper but I loved it.

And they're not dumb, they'll make Sawyer and Sayid complicate Jack and Kate as much as possible....all the while enticing ppl who want those combos together. Not to mention Jack and Kate have serious trust and emotional issues. There's plenty to dig into...All Kate's obvious interest for Jack thus far is to set up this week where Sawyer is thrown in. She'll see Jack isn't "perfect" because he's going to beat Saywer up. Sounds interesting to me ;D

I wish I had any faith to give to television anymore, but it's dissapointed me too many times. XP I'm shocked at myself for allowing myself to get emotionally involved with this series. I apologize if my cynicism does weight my opinion a good bit. I've been hurt, man, hurt by those I love most! Not because they do things I dislike, but because they suddenly go horribly boring.

Then again, that's also why I write and read fanfic. To ease the pain of a series jumping the shark.

It's just such a North American thing. Such a television thing. Everything's going along fine and dandy but Americans just don't know when to quit -- when to find a reasonable ending point. They milk things for all they're worth until their product becomes utterly desiccated. Normally, I only watch movies and mini-series.

XD;; That said, uh, I will try and give Lost all possible faith! I know I can be unfair. And if you beat something because you love it, you are still beating it.

I apologize for my negativity. Thank you for pointing out that it had caught up to me. z_z Sometimes I don't notice. =\ Well, with as many people as were working on Buffy and Angel working on Lost, there is a small slight reason to worry. If anything went critically redundant, it was Buffy seasons 6 and 7 and Angel season 4 (Angel season 5 actually picked up, but the network had already decided to cancel it). Still! Let's hope they can all see it through.

you don't need to apologize-it's your opinion though I appreciate it ;D Believe me if Kate/Jack get ::) I'll join you in the skepticism. For now, I'm giving JJ and co. the benefit of the doubt and seeing how it unfolds. I won't be a hypocrite and say I don't want them to weather the storms and make it til the end together, but enduring the journey is what it's all about.

I can do that! The benefit of the doubt. ::will have to make a note to self and put it on the wall or something:: *g* Sometimes my opinion deserves to be disregarded! Especially by me. Right now, I should just focus on being in a fandom again and having fun. It's not my responsibility if something goes to pot or not unless I'm the one writing it, after all. I can do this! I can be positive. :-\ I will be positive! ::chases negativity away:: I did my part and posted my serious concerns about what went wrong in Buffy and Angel in the VIP section, here, so at least this time if something goes horribly wrong I can say "I tried." and be over it rather than raging against the uncaring sky. XP

good for you Calico :) Positive thoughts ;D By the by that's a cool name, it's my cat's 8) ;)

Heh heh heh. XD It's my friend's cat's too... As for me, I've had it since sixth grade. It stuck. XP Even people in town call me Cali. ;)

I think I'd be somewhat happy....lol....they get too much camera time in my opinion.

absolutely I would.....it may sound superficial, & I do love other characters, but there would be too much of gaping hole imo...Jack especially has made the show for me....And I can't say enough about how much I love the all encompassing dynamic they have including tenderness, caring, respect, depth, friendship, & a great attraction. I've been waiting for a relationship like that since the X files. They literally are the primary reason I tuned in the next week after the pilot...I don't think they get enough credit both for their contribution to the success of the show, & what they add to it. Were it another couple who got more air time, they would likely be criticized as well. I don't think the show would be the same w/o them.

I'd be more upset if Jack was killed off than Kate. For some reason she just annoys me. :P But I voted that there's other characters than those two so NO! :lol2: It wouldn't be devastated and stop watching, but I would be sad if Jack was gone. :(

Nah, in fact I would love the show MORE if they were gone! I just do not connect with either one of them. I think Jack needs to stop being whiny and controlling and Kate needs to just stop being so frickin annoying!

I'm not a huge Kate or Jack fan, so I wouldn't care if they got killed. I would cry during their death scenes because I'm a sucker for a death scene(then I would pull myself together and rejoice! Sorry 'bout that :blush:)

Nah, in fact I would love the show MORE if they were gone! I just do not connect with either one of them. I think Jack needs to stop being whiny and controlling and Kate needs to just stop being so frickin annoying!

I wouldn't agree, but connection is a personal thing...I haven't found Jack whiny. For the most part he's barely said anything about his problems, & has been consistently putting his issues on the backburner to take care of everyone. Controlling, don't see it. He gets grief when he doesn't take charge, & grief when he does...He hasn't been overbearing, overtly assertive, or arrogant. He's heeded Locke's advice, reffered to his knowledge & Sayid, asked Charlie & Kate's opinions, & has been responsible enough w/o being a dicatator...I think he's had a good balance of keeping things together, & as WR illustrated, the camp is better when he's around... As a doctor trained in Western medicine he could have thumbed his nose at Sun's hollistic approach, instead he tried to learn from her.

Jack has been snapped at by Boone in WR, came back to defend him, defended Sawyer to Sayid about the tranceiver sabotage, Charlie to Sayid about that Claire was "planted", & Sayid got a bit* irritable/accusing at him in Numbers* 2x about the maps, but Jack didn't get snarky back, he was polite & just listened. He also didn't lecture Sun on not telling about her English, Hurley about why they were out hunting Daniells & he wouldn't say why, or Charlie when he shot Ethan. He just asked to understand not judge.

As far as relating again it's a personal thing, but I relate to Jack the most. He has an extremely difficult position being not only the leader, but the care taker as well. This man just lost his father, didn't even indulge in grieving for himself, blames himself for the death, & is taking on the responsibility for 46 ppl in a dire suvival situation in a hostile environment... I love Jack's ability to connect with ppl emotionally & still maintain the compassion & selflessness, not to mention kindness, in light of how his father treated him.

Wow, that was alot to read lol. I'll just add my two cents in here. I don't really like the poll in general, because like many have mentioned, it sounds like you are putting them together as a couple and lets be honest, how much does romance matter in an ensemble show with 14 regular cast members? I am a huge Jack fan, I just love the guy to death, but I had to answer no, because I'm not totally invested in them as a couple and not 100 percent sold on Kate. If you would have asked, would you stop watching Lost if Jack were gone, then I would have been more inclined to vote yes. I don't think the majority of people would be upset if either were gone because of the romance angle, but more so that they loved the individual character that is now gone.

Jack and Kate were the reason I got hooked on the show in the first place, so yes, I would stop watching. I am a 100% J/K supporter and I tune in every week to catch a glimpse of their subtle interactions. As much as I love all the other characters, I am afraid I would not be able to watch the show if Jack and Kate were no longer there. It just wouldn't be the same show in my opinion.

I'd miss Jack but I'd still watch the show if he were killed off. Now if Kate bit it I'd jump for joy. There is just something about her that rubs me the wrong way. I don't care for her acting style. She seems to mechanical. There is no depth to the charachter. I say save all the men and kill Kate off in the season finale.

I'm actually surprised at all of those posts that say they would be filled with glee if Jack and Kate were killed off or it would give them more reason to tune in. Are Jack and Kate really that bad lol? I think Jack is awesome and for the life of me can't figure out why some HATE him as much as they do. Screen time is not a valid reason to dislike a particular character because that show does a good job for the most part at featuring all the characters. Sun and Jin are the only two that could be written better. Yes I know people could argue that, but I am only stating my opinion.

LOL I stated that I wouldn't care because they get too much screen time....that is half true. They get too much screen time (although things have somewhat been changing with that), and I really wouldn't care, but I dont want to see any of the 14 go....I just don't think it will be the same without any of them missing.

They are the leads, so they are going to get more screen time. Why hold that against them? To me, that doesn't seem fair.

Krystal I have a rebuttal to why romance *is* important to the show ;) but I have to dig it up....This poll was started originally I know, to prove no one cared about Jack and Kate as a couple. Or really either of them as characters.

I think it's weird ppl resent JK because they get more screen time when that's how it was set up in the pilot. Personal preference I guess,* & imagine if it were 2 other characters they're would be someone unhappy too.

Hey Banshee, how's it going? For the most part, what drew me to lost in the first place was indeed Matthew Fox. I can't say I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the romance between Jack and Kate, but I do ABSOLUTELY LOVE MATTHEW AKA JACK. I still think that with all the Jack fans coming on this site that they are proving the poll wrong, that essentially some people do care about the romance factor as well as Jack and Kate individually.

The point being is this, everyone has their "favorites"....there are 14 main characters, and others are going to appeal to people more than other ones....that is life, you will never make anyone completely happy, including myself and well everybody! Kate and Jack are my least favorite characters....therefore I would really care less if they were not on the show....I find their backstories to be the least interesting out of everybody elses. This is my opinion, and no one needs to understand that either....most people probably never will understand me anyway ::)

I'm actually a pretty big fan of Jack, Kate, and Jack and Kate :P but I voted no. The plot is interesting enough to me that I would keep watching if they were gone, but I don't think it would be as good a show. I hope they don't get rid of them!

While I like Jack and Kate, they're not the only characters that keep me watching Lost; in fact, they're not even my favorites. I much prefer Sayid, Sawyer, Locke and Hurley.

If Kate were to get killed off, I really don't think it would be a blip on the radar screen, IMO. However, if Jack were to get killed off, I think it would have a much bigger impact on the Lostaways. They have looked to Jack as a leader; he's also a doctor and has tried to take care of their medical needs. I think it would be interesting to see how the others dealt with his death.

I think that the writers of this show are very creative and if either Jack or Kate (or both) were to die, they would be able to write enough interesting material for this show to go on with the other characters and keep us watching.

I voted I don't know but the more I think about it, no. I sawed watching for 2 reasons in the beginning. Matthew Fox and JJ Abrams. I'm tired of shows sucking me in and then start killing people off. I really believe I would stop watching.
When I was watching Dallas many years ago, they killed off Bobby's character (Patrick Duffy) and I quit watching the show for 1 1/2 years and then I tuned in one night and he was back. There was such a fan uproar over his death, they brought him back and made the year he was gone a dream for his wife. Go figure.

I voted yes because sometimes Kate and Jack annoy me. I like seeing the other characters...

for me I would stop because I was riveted by Matthew/Jack in the pilot...I wasn't even a fan of his prior although I had seen him on P05 & thought he was good. When he came on as Jack I was blown away. Acting wise & just the character, loved him-still is my fav. And obviously I'm a JK fan ;) I just really loved how their dynamic was set up in the pilot...I had been waiting such a long time for a kind of classical romance which emphasized friendship, repect & caring over sex. It was refreshing & there was this pull between them. ...I don' t think it would hit me right away they were gone, but over time denial would fade & so would my interest...Lost is a great all around show, love all of it, but when Mulder left TXF, it just wasn't the same anymore.

I honestly could care less about them :drowsy:

They're ok, but if they both died...ok, that doesn't change anything for me!
