Oh, this was fun. I'm doing it one day at a time, and I can't wait to get to some of these. (I'm not into the "hate" wording either. "Hate" is a word I reserve for Jack/Kate and that's it.)
I'm writing River/Simon right now, as a Claire/Jack parallel for a crossover fic. They are surprisingly awesome.
I'm sure you don't want to talk about this if you dislike them but I'm going to be annoying...it's cool that you totally had the balls to say that about James/Juliet because you, well, have some good points. I like them because I liked seeing the characters happy and...that's pretty much it. The fact that the pairing even existed was just bad, bad writing. They were incompatible, Sawyer had a much more authentic, well-developed relationship with Kate, and Juliet's entire purpose shouldn't have revolved around who she was gonna hook up with once the thing with Jack ended. And somehow, since they grew close when there were no other viable options for romantic partners, we're supposed to buy that they're soulmates? I liked them, liked their scene in the finale, but I'm not proud of it.

And Charlie/Claire. Ugh.
