Frog. Good point of view.. I will never be able to disagree with Jack's importance to the overall show. There is definite feelings.. only time will tell. we know how kate is when she gets close to someone she chooses to get close to... ( her almost getting maried episode )

the only difference is that NOW and for a while... Jack has been the forbidden fruit -- what she cant necessarily have. He doesnt persue her like sawyer would, has and will. he is not out of reach... and that will stick with her and only build in her. And sawyers inability to handle his feelings could eventally ruin it for him.

maybe sawyer will sacrifice himself for jack... or kate. We all know he loves her. and he'll probably get his chance to really show her. Like jack did when he said DONT COME BACK FOR ME!!
