I know you miss Blake as your icon, AM I RIGHT? :P
-Wow Nat, you really did your homework didn't you? These questions were effing hard!
1. First off, why don't you start by telling us something about yourself that we don't know?
-I'll tell you three things: I'm a hairstylist. I have an unnatural love for cereal and eat it for two meals a day and the only reason I don't eat it for a third is I worry about my health when only eating Cocoa Pebbles. I can pretty much recite the movie Beauty and the Beast in it’s entirety.
It starts with a J and ends with a ACK, and is made up of dead sexiness.
- What do you think?! It starts with a J and ends with a ACK, and is made up of dead sexiness. Honestly, all the characters are what kept me wanting more.... Nope, actually it was just Jack.
3. We all know you were shipping Jate before even starting watching the show from fanvids and icons alone, but what was the scene that made you a hardcore Jater?
- Well I absolutely adore the 'I'm Kate. I'm Jack' scene. Their shyness is so damn cute so that's when I started to really like them, but what made me a really hardcore Jater? The Moth hug. Definitely.
4. Which place on your favorite TV couples list does Jate rank at?
-Geez, this is hard to say. As of right now they are #1 for sure but Chair is always right there fighting for the top place. Chuck & Serena are right behind them but that's more for fun.
Honestly, IMO they are the only TV couple that deserves that title.
-They are epic. Honestly, IMO they are the only TV couple that deserves that title. (Nanda can attest to that;) They, more than any other pair, have that pull towards each other that will not be denied no matter what or who gets in their way. They are each other's constants through time and space, in this life and the next. Like I said..epic.
6. Would you rather have different actors playing Jack and Kate or Foxy and Evi being a part of a different show not written by Darlton?
- Foxy and Evie being a part of a different show. There is NO WAY I could live without Foxy. Plus I feel like they could make anything pretty great whereas Jack and Kate could be massacred by the wrong actors with limited chemistry. Imagine an older Chace Crawford and Leighton Meester playing Jack and Kate...*chills of the worst kind just overcame my body*
[OH, THE HORROR! DNW.]
To me, your true feelings come out through tragedy.
7. What do you prefer, Jate in earlier seasons {fluffy, flirty...} or Jate in later seasons {angsty, tragic...} and why?
-Later seasons. I'm an angst nut. Of course I love the fluff, and jirting is second only to one thing...jangst. To me, your true feelings come out through tragedy. You flirt with many, but only cry over a few. I flirt with the worker at Starbucks but am I going to be anguished if he says he'd have no problem erasing our time together? DOUBTFUL.
8. Which is your ultimate favorite Jack to Kate quote and your favorite Kate to Jack quote?
-Jack to Kate: 'I love you' The cliff one. It's not so much the quote, but more how he said it. Curse you Foxy for being so amazing. No one should be allowed to be that good.
Kate to Jack: 'No. That's not how you know me.' *chills of the best kind just overcame my body*
"Matthew has been a godsend. He is my leading man and... in so many more ways than just the show." - Evi.
-Foxy about Evie: This is super bad because I don't even know the exact quote and I can't find it! Anyway it's the one about him wanting to make sure nothing gets in her way.. You know that one? lol
Evie about Foxy: "Matthew has been a godsend. He has absolutely stepped up to the plate. He is my leading man and... in so many more ways than just the show. He's been a friend, a mentor, a big brother, a supporter and a teacher. He's just really carried me through it." Evie is the queen of quotes. All of her's are kick-ass. [That's my favorite quote too, have it as my motto right now ;)]
10. Which is your favorite quote about Jate {said by a character; someone from the cast; press}?
-Not counting the quote of all qoutes (JJ's of course) My choice would be this one by Evie: 'She has never been able to help herself BE MADLY IN LOVE WITH JACK. It's that awful thing that so many people experience of, "I can't help myself. When he looks me in the eye and he says I need you to support me, THAT'S IT." That is so Jepic I didn't believe that she actually said it. I had to ask a fellow Jister if that interview was legit! (P.S. What smoke were the Skaters, who freaked at the ending, smoking? Did they not read this and realize that their couple had a snowball's chance in hell?)
"I can't help myself. When he looks me in the eye and he says I need you to support me, THAT'S IT."
11. The most...
Emotional moment: Well the cliff scene DURRRRR. But the proposal and the 'I want you to make me a promise...' scene are up there too.
The breakup is heart-wrenching. I love angst but that is hard for even me to watch.
Happiest moment: The Jamily-'I'm so glad you're here'-hallway JEX moments! Basically Jate's home-life.
Funniest moment: 'Someone could've told me that the calvary were here.... I gave you that wink.' I don't know why, but I found that so funny.
Sexiest moment: 316 jex no doubt!
Cutest moment: The tattoo scene, The sling, the sharing food, and the story reading. Sorry I can't limit it to one.
Unexpected moment: I COULDN'T FIND YOU!!!
12. Define Jate in...
One word: Epic
One song: Party in the USA..kidding.. Ugh, this is the hardest question so far. There are two that are the ultimate for me. I'm gonna say 'Set the Fire to the Third Bar' by Snow Patrol because nothing in the world can keep them apart. You know what the other one is Nat ;)
Thread because they are bound together.
One color: Red of course. It symbolizes passion, desire, and love.
One season of the year: Fall. Where I come from fall is perfect, as is Jate.
One object: Thread because they are bound together.
One place: Wherever there's a net.
One food: Sushi because the more you have it, the more you crave it.
One animal: Lion. King of the jungle anyone?
13. Your favorite...
Kiss: Endgame
Hug: I couldn't find you.
Hand holding: Eternal hand holding!
If that's not love I don't know what is.
Look: GRRRR this is too hard! Everyone probably says The Incident look or the Airport one so I'm gonna go with 6x03. If that's not love I don't know what is.
Hot moment: 316 Jex!
Quote: I already listed my very favorite under the Kate quote so I'll say 'I have always been with you.'
Episode: The End
Season: For Jate? 3 and 6
14. This or that...
Jack Shephard or Matthew Fox? Jack Shephard
Jacket or Suliet? Probably Suliet but I love Jacket too! Let me put it this way. If I couldn't have Jate, I would steal Juliet from Sawyer and give her to Jack but with Jate, I like Suliet better. Make any sense?
316 kiss or hallway jex? 316 kiss
Flashforwards or flashsideways? Flashsideways.
Jack's scruff, beard or no beard? Scruff FTMFW!
Skate or Kate/Boone AU? You bitch. Since Kate/Boone could quite possibly be the worst pairing
BAMF!Jate. They'll kick your ass.
Looks or face touches? Looks for damn sure. Another couple is lucky if all their looks combined match up to ONE Jate look.
It was NOT all misery or No, that's not how you know me? 'No, that's not how you know me.' But I ADORE the other one.
BAMF!Jate or HAWT!Jate? BAMF! Jate! They'll kick your ass. Well Kate will try to kick your ass, get hurt, then Jack will proceed to REALLY kick your ass while simultaneously rescuing Kate.
15. Favorites per season...
Season 1;
Best cute scene: The tattoo jirting
Best hot scene: The stripping scene. 'It was full of bees' Suuuurre Kate, whatever you say.
Best quote: 'I'm Kate. I'm Jack'
Best episode: The Moth
Best anti!skate moment: The 'What is it about that guy? Jack. What is it about him that makes you all weak in the loins?' Where do we ever begin, Sawyer?
"I'm sorry that I'm not as perfect as you! That I'm not as good!"
Best cute scene: The kiss
Best hot scene: The net
Best quote: 'I'm sorry that I'm not as perfect as you! That I'm not as good!'
Best episode: S.O.S
Best anti!skate moment: Kate left an injured Sawyer, that she was supposed to be looking out for, lying on the floor. LMAO.
Season 3;
Best cute scene: The look they give each other as they're packing up to leave camp. It's also an anti!skate because she immediately looks at Sawyer after, like she just cheated with Jack. Cause she did! Eye sex is still sex.
Best hot scene: TMFT. I know I'm turned on when he whispers in her ear!
Best quote: 'I can't leave without you!...Yes you are, go... I can't!...Go now!....I CAN'T!!!!!!!!'
Best episode: Left Behind. Effin AMAZING Jate in that.
Best anti!skate moment: Are you kidding me right now? The ENTIRE season! Look at the quote above, look at the episode above, look at the fact that the only time Sawyer can get laid is when Kate's been in isolation with him for a week and he's to be killed in the morning, OR when she has tears streaming down her face because she saw Jack EATING OATMEAL with another woman, look at the walkie-talkie scenes, look at her utter disregard for Sawyer the minute they get to camp as she goes traipsing off into the jungle in search of JACK with not even so much as I 'see ya later'. I'm sorry, but if you couldn't tell who she loved while watching that season you need a doctor to check you out. 'Paging Doctor Shephard'
I might even love the island stuff more!
Best cute scene: The Jamily.
Best hot scene: Assgrab!
Best quote: 'Yeah, you're GOOD at this.'
Best episode: SNBH and not just because of the flashforwards. I might even love the island stuff more!
Best anti!skate moment: 'I have ALWAYS been with you.'...*Skaters being gutted*...
Season 5;
Best cute scene: 'Do you remember when I sewed you up?' One of my ALL TIME favorite Jate scenes and IMO an underrated one. It has everything..face touching, jepic looks, jangst, a call back to their first meeting and Kate proving once again that she will always be with him. What more could you ask for?
Best hot scene: 316 I said!
Best quote: 'It was NOT all misery.'
Best episode: The Incident
Best anti!skate moment: PFFT easy. She DID NOT, for the life of her, want to go back to the island for anything. JACK had to convince her to go. Could that be more opposite of how she would've reacted if the situation were reversed and Jack was the one stuck there? I don't THINK so!
Geez, I hate to keep putting the same one but I can't help it if I'm obsessed.. 'No, that's not how you know me.'
Best cute scene: The plane.
Best hot scene: The endgame kiss.
Best quote: Geez, I hate to keep putting the same one but I can't help it if I'm obsessed.. 'No, that's not how you know me.'
Best episode: 'The End'
Best anti!skate moment: LMAO.... Was there even a moment that wasn't anti!skate? 'I couldn't find you' is probably the ultimate one of the entire series for me. Oh man, it'd be sad if it wasn't so funny.
16. You can "borrow" one scene from each one of the Lost main couples. Which one do you choose?
a) Charlie & Claire: The campfire scene at the end of season two
b) Sun & Jin: Their reunion kiss
c) Desmond & Penny: The phone call
A concerned Kate and a protective Jack? Yes please!
e) Jack & Juliet: Aloe leaves! or 'Because he thinks that I'm his...And he knows how I feel about you.' or 'Hey! What did i say to you?...You told me not to leave my tent. I was hungry.'
f) Sawyer & Kate: Flip, I'm either fast forwarding, closing my eyes, or blocking their scenes from my memory. I guess I'll take the helicopter kiss but still have Sawyer be the one to jump out. LOL
17. You want to convert a Skater into a Jater; what would be your arguments?
-Jack is the one Kate loves so why ship her with anyone else? If that brilliant logic doesn't convert them I'd show them the 'Fix You' video and make them read this interview. ;)
Jack is the one Kate loves so why ship her with anyone else?
18. You have a chance to talk Darlton into changing something in Jate's story, would you; and what would you change?
-Really there is nothing I would have him change when it came to their 'story' but I would have him give us more Jacket so we could get even more Jealous Kate. (and more Jacket, sorry S) MWAHHHH
-I'd turn into the smoke monster and mess some shit up. I'm not kidding you, I really think I would.
-I'd turn into the smoke monster and mess some shit up. I'm not kidding you, I really think I would.
20. Lots of SKaters hate Jack with fiery passion, how do you feel about Sawyer as a Jater?
-Skaters hate Jack because he's the downfall to their ship. Using that theory it's only natural that I, as a Jater, love Sawyer. He is no threat whatsoever. Their hate for Jack, coupled with Jaters' love for Sawyer is, and always has been, a very telling sign when it came to where Kate's heart lies.
21. Darlton are finished filming the finale but they surpassed the time limit and they have to cut off either the ILY scene or the 'I've missed you SO much' one? Which one would be easier for you to give up on?
-Why Nat? WHY?! Can't they cut out Richards grey hair scene instead? I guess I'd get rid of the 'I've missed you SO much.' but I'd be crying as I did so.
I guess I'd get rid of the 'I've missed you SO much.' but I'd be crying as I did so.
22. Have you ever cried on a Jate scene, if so on which one?
-I don't' think I've cried, but the one I got closest to crying was the appendix scene where Jack was begging Kate to not let them knock him out and she was crying. Out of all the scenes that might seem weird but it gets to me ok! He was crying jears, begging....*sniff*
23. What would have been the perfect ending for them if they didn't get the endgame?
-My mind is blank. I'm serious, all I see is white. I guess it would be something like Jack sacrificing himself so she could be 'happy' with Sawyer (she wouldn't be of course.) a la 'I do'.
24. Bunch of rabid Skaters locked Darlton in a basement and are rewriting
TEH PUNISHMENT: "Nate Aaaarchibald, are you trying to seduce me on church *kiss* property? *giggles*" MWAAHHHHH!
-First off, if you EVER spam me with anything related to Nate & Blair you will become the Ben to my Jack and you will receive an ass woopin.
Second, why are you doing this to me?!! It's crueler than Sophie's choice. Ok, possibly the only thing in this world that I love more than Jack/Jate, is Chuck -freaking- Bass. I would die for that man, and yes I'm aware that he is fictional. There is just no way I could leave him to die at the hands of Sayid, BUT after I rescued my beloved, Chuck would bribe Sayid with his millions and we would all rush to that basement and take down each and every one of those rabid Skaters. With pleasure. [Good answer, but you cheated. You shall be punished.]
25. What do you like the most about them as individual characters?
-For Jack it's his selflessness, ability to lead, and his uncontrollable will to always do the right thing. Plus he looks so damn fuckable. :0
When it comes to Kate, I love that she can be strong and vulnerable at the same time.
Plus he looks so damn fuckable.
26. What are your 5 favorite words from the Jictionary?
-OMG I love the Jictionary!
1. Jex
2. Jater
3. Jepic
4. Jirting
5. Jaby -I find this hilarious-
27. Most laughable comment of Skaters after the finale?
-That Jack and Kate actually were not endgame....*biggest natefuesed look on the planet*... They. Are. Together. In. The. Afterlife. You could not get a more solid endgame. Also that Jate had no build up. Some Skaters' ability to work their selective memory really belongs in the Guinness Book of World Records.
28. Biggest slap in the face to Skaters?
I honestly believe the Jate fandom to be the best one out there! Jisters FTW!
29. Finally, any last words?
-Nat, FANTASTIC job on the interview. [Thank you. The pleasure to interview you was mine.] You really knew where to cut me deep. I also just want to say that I honestly believe the Jate fandom to be the best one out there! I mean who else has an effing dictionary, awesome FOTM articles and a thread as epic as the Jater freak out? The fans are as amazing as the couple and that's saying a lot. I'm very proud to be one. Jisters FTW!
And we're proud having you here as our jister! Congrats again, I really enjoyed interviewing you and decorating this article. I tried my best the interview to be the best format and to look flawless as our couple. Your answers had me laughing and reminded me all over again how epic Jate are. *pops the champagne* *cheers* ILY all. ♥ JEXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Your answers had me laughing and reminded me all over again how epic Jate are.
