Thanks for the interview links. I hope it gives me some real hope for these two. The promo was also very nice, but...alas more waiting to see what actually comes to pass. Emily is usually very pro-Jemily, so I hope she is still; Nick is usually more cautious. I'm glad to see others share my frustrations about this show and about our favorite couple in particular. I know they can't get together until the end, but they could at least have scenes together and show caring for one another! Season 1, at least at first, was great for that. It's too bad, because the show still has potential, but I think they are dragging it too much and substituting soap opera tactics for good character development. I also don't like how Ben is written to be a more active character than Jack. Jack is also a cop, but Ben seems to get more focus sometimes. I REALLY liked Jack working with and talking to David, though, about how David lost his own innocence. I really didn't like what they did with David at first, then found it intriguing, then ridiculous, and now I find it a plausible explanation, but one too long in coming. Ah thanks for letting me vent. The one thing that keeps me watching is that it seems the showrunner still wants Jack to be with Emily in the end. I hope it's worth the wait!

Now, I think it's been clear Jack's been in love with her all this time but avoiding facing it for various reasons. But the fact that there seem to be so many fans who missed that -- it's just another sign that the writing hasn't been as strong as it could/should have. Quote:
Hopefully when the show returns, we'll see a more pro-active Jack with regard to a career he really loves and with Emily.

The writers have been terrible when it come to consistency between Jemily. It's like every so often they remember it's them so throw in a scene. It's obvious Jack's never stopped loving Emily even if he has tried to move on. I hope after the confession though we get constant build up. If Jack's confessing hopefully he will be more pro active I also feel with him returning to himself again (boats & bartending) he will be more confident because it's natural to him.

No news.
Right now I'm working on a series of Tumblr posts debunking various mind-boggling myths/claims about Jack and Emily's relationship. I figured it would be a good project leading up to the next episode. I'll post links here when I'm finished.

Can't wait to see your Tumblr posts I see a lot of nonsense thrown out about Jemily one of the most annoying is 'Jack only wants the little girl he used to know' I'm like do these people actually pay attention to the show if that were the case how do they explain him wanting her in S1 and not even knowing who she is! This is only one of the many things people say about the relationship that makes me so i look forward to what you come up with.

I've got the bulk of the writing for the myths already...I just need time to do the graphics.

If the worst happens and Emily turns him down, this may be wildly overly optimistic on my part, but I don't think the writers would have either of them say something they couldn't come back from (either as a couple or in the eyes of the fans). EVC has said over and over that she wants them together in the end. The producers have said we all know they're the final frame of the show. NW, regardless of his feelings about whether or not Emily deserves Jack, has always been adamant that the fans should always want them together. It's interesting that whenever Jack/Emily have had a scene that seemed to push them apart, those same scenes have always pushed them forward in ways the audience saw, even if they didn't: 1. When Jack gave his speech on July 4, he was rejected, but after he left Emily cried and the audience got a chance to see how powerfully he affected her. 2. When Fauxmanda showed up pregnant, the audience saw how unhappy Jack was and then later saw Emily totally devastated -- again, underlining the strength of their connection. 3. When Jack got married to Fauxmanda, the audience got to see Emily emotionally affected (and we also got all of those flashbacks and the speech from Jack we knew was meant for Emily). 4. When Emily got re-engaged to Daniel, the audience got to see jealous, angry Jack. 5. When Jack rejected Emily in 301, his face afterward revealed that he'd been lying. So even if things do go badly in 415, I think the writers would use it as another opportunity to underscore their connection (even if, on the surface, they both leave convinced they'll never be together, we'll see even more evidence that they will). __________________

I know it's like if all wanted was Amanda then why wasn't he happy when he had 'Amanda', no he was willing to walk away from her (if it wasn't for the baby) to be with Emily when he had no idea who she was. It's not the idea of Amanda he's in love with it is Amanda or Emily or whatever she chooses to call herself he loves her in every version of herself even when as Emily she did things he didn't agree with or hurt him he couldn't stop. He fell in love with her when he met her on the beach when they were kids and he fell in love with her when she rolled back up in the Hamptons 20 years later as Emily Thorne. It's as simple as that.

You're right everytime something has gotten in the way of them being together we've always seen how much it hurts them and it only serves to highlight the strength of their connection. Even though I don't expect they will get together right after his confession I wouldn't be surprised if they use it to emphasise the love that has always been there and it fits with what EVC said about them exploring their connection maybe Emily is taken aback and shocked thinking she'd lost him in that way scared even that she's finally getting what she always wanted but also allowing her to acknowledge the feelings for Jack that she has kept buried.

I have just remembered that board we discussed nearly at the beginning of this season and the stuff about Jemily that seemed to appear on it. I'm not completely sure about what was said at that moment but don't you think it is possible that the info on that board had to be taken separately, not taking into account the number shown in each column? I mean, some of the things that appeared there eventually happened but not always in the chapter indicated. Could it be that this board was foreshadowing and the Jemily part is what is going to happen now?
