Maybe you didn't see last week's episode of the best show ever set on an island not to feature Hervé Villechaize? Well, seeing as how we're trying to provide a spoiler-free experience here, you might wanna move along (or maybe come back after catching up). Otherwise, see ya after the jump.
Hooray to Jack and Juliet for finally getting a good liplock in at the end of last week's episode! We've long since lost interest in any Jack/Kate hookup happening. They're, like, practically exes already with all the ups and downs they've had, so it's hard to imagine them getting together and not having it be miserable and co-dependent, pretty much anything but hot (a theory bolstered by all the new flash-forwards). But Jack and Juliet! People that hot and that bossy should have been getting it on weeks ago! True, they're also not a particularly joyful couple, but hey, at least they have yet to be miserable over each other. And, as a couple, they make sense: she's already read his file -- something more than a few women wish they could say about their relationships -- and he's probably relieved at the prospect of hooking up with someone who he's not trying to fix. At least, not fix internally. If Juliet's got a problem that needs Jack's attention, his name is Ben, and pretty much everyone on that island wants that problem to go away.
Which, it should be said, doesn't give us much hope for them in the long-term. There's been no indication in the flash-forwards that Juliet makes it off the island, and Ben definitely seems the type to take Juliet out if he can't have her. But we're hoping that, for at least a few episodes anyway, we're gonna see them both grab a little bliss where they can. And that's long overdue for them both. And for that, they are our Crush of the Week.
And while we're on the subject, can we just ask: does anyone continue to be amazed by Elizabeth Mitchell's rack? It, like, comes out of nowhere sometimes and then we can't get it out of our minds.
