Juliet and Ben — a couple?
In an interview published today in The Daily Beast, Elizabeth Mitchell (Juliet) said that it would be “wonderful … the creepiest, but the best thing” if her character ended up with Ben.
She may have been joking (or maybe not), but what she said reminded me of something from Season Four. Do you remember the creepy scene where Ben takes Juliet to see Goodwin’s body?
Michael Emerson is so good here. I think it’s one of his best performances on the show, and that’s saying a lot. The pause before his last line, and then the way he says it — just amazing.
I wouldn’t want to see Ben pair off with anyone on the show. To me, he’s like a creature from another planet, and it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to mate with the Earthlings. Better that he remain asexual.
As for Juliet, I like the rapport that’s developing between her and Sawyer. Yes, I know, Sawyer and Kate have a chemistry that burns with the intensity of a thousand suns. But Kate can be annoying. And Juliet and Sawyer are so cute when they are sarcastic together.
Who would you like to see pair off? Cast your vote(s) below.
Who would you like to see be together as a couple by the end of the show?

I remember that scene with Juliet and Ben from Season 4. That was Uber creepy then - and the thought of it now is still Uber creepy. I agree with you that Ben shouldn’t get involved in any kind of a relationship. I think it would really hurt his character’s story to be set up with just *one* person, or heaven forbid, get involved in a triangle (see Sawyer, Jack and Kate ad nauseum.)
I voted for Charlie and Claire, because I thought they made such a cute couple, and Charlie really tried to be good to Claire. The Peanut Butter scene. Need I say more?
Another couple I’d love to see would be Hurley and Libby. Mainly because I’d really like to see that sweetie happy.
I like Charlie and Claire as a couple too. The peanut butter scene was so sweet! I guess the fact that they are now both dead (or perhaps both undead) gives them one more thing that they have in common.
Yeah, it would be great if Libby came back from the dead for Hurley. As long as she is not too corpse-like! Ha ha.
