Though I know that numerous fans have an opinion on which man Kate should end up with, I have no idea how most Lost viewers feel about the Jack and Juliet pairing.  I tend to stay out of these frightening shipper wars for fear of losing my life.  I'd imagine that the Jaters hate "Jacket" (ugh) with a flaming passion that cannot be contained, while the Skaters are into it because it keeps Jack away from Kate.  I personally enjoy the couple, as I think Matthew Fox and Elizabeth Mitchell have great chemistry together.  They're a fantastic pair to watch.

Elizabeth Mitchell also enjoys the swoon-worthy moments she gets to act out with Matthew Fox.  In a new interview over at TVGuide.com, she talks about her experiences on the show and what it feels like after she films her own episodes.  Here are some highlights:

Let's talk about Juliet's kiss with Jack.  Are we going to get any more of that?

Mitchell:  I think we are, actually.  I don't know when, but they're setting something up.  I knew that was coming because there was all this stuff with Jack and Kate.  That's the fun for them, creating these "triangles."  And when they went back into the Jack and Kate connection, I thought, "It seems like they're going to pump up the stuff between Jack and Juliet," and that's what happened. [Pauses]  I was very happy that Jack kissed her.  I thought that was a particularly good scene for Matthew [Fox], in that he came across as a very strong and very leading man.  I really enjoyed how he played that.  His whole face changed when she said that she cared about him, and I thought that was fascinating.  I've always liked them together, but I also liked Jack and Kate together, in the first season.  But in watching Jack and Juliet, I hate to say the word, but there's such a maturity to them in the way they complement each other.  So we'll see where that goes.

Is there a sort of "letdown" for a Lost actor after you get "your" episode for the season?

Mitchell: [Laughs]  I'm so flipping hard on myself that for me it's a relief!  Other people's episodes are a heck of a lot easier to watch.  This is like pulling nails.  I suppose there is [a letdown], but at the same time I'm a story dork.  I'm a book reader, a comic-book reader, so I'm always interested in what happens next.  I actually just got the script for [Episode] 409, and I was sitting here reading it just completely entranced, and it had very little to do with me.  That's the kind of show it is.  I was already a fan, so to be on the "inside" of it is kind of crazy.
