Do you keep in mind how the fans feel (or at least online nerds like myself) about certain possible couples? There are a lot of Jack and Kate "shippers" out there, but there are also some Kate/Sawyer and Kate/Sayid fans as well . So do you guys let it effect the writing?

As mentioned before... We write for ourselves. There's no way to please everybody out there, so we gotta please ourselves. (Apologies to Ricky Nelson).
