Yep... Please, No more about Jason dying. Baha!Connie_Kendall wrote:so many opinions..
Well in a way didn't they do that with Mitch? Not once, but twice? They took Mitch away, and then they brought him back to almost get married to Connie and then took him away again, and then brought him back with the news that he's engaged! I know many die hard fans dislike that episode and question it's canonity. I guess after recently listening to the Novacom series it just feels like Monica was sincerely sorry for what she did, but she never really came forward to reveal that, besides confessing in trial. And if they did this, sure fans would write in pleading and bargaining for Jason to marry/not marry her. But fans did this with Mitch too. It'd be amusing to see Monica enthusiasts speculate on her and Jason's future.Kaida wrote:I saw that the last person to post in this topic was Jason and I thought, "Hmm, guess he wants a say if he should marry or not.."
I really liked your thoughts on how it should go, Jason.. The one thing I didn't agree with was Monica Stone. I really don't see a need for her to come back. She wasn't that big of a character that I would see a need to know what happened to her. (Oy.. I sound mean =/) Thing is I feel that if she were to come back, the fans would want the writers to stick Jason and Monica together and I would rather see Jason single. Like you said, he's more entertaining that way. But other than that I really liked what you said =)

That was put wonderfully PF! However, let me bring another thought forward. Was Jason crushing on Monica or on her acting? Monica may have done less acting as she went along but the whole thing must have been an emotional roller coaster for Jason. How could he love Monica again when she callously deceived him. Her motives may have been in the right place, but still. I could see an apology come forth, and maybe a struggle for forgiveness/trust, but I can't see them ever getting married even in my imagination. I reluctantly agree that your probably right that Monica will only live on in fandom ponderings. I like the way you said that characters sometimes take a life of their own and the writers only take a small part in directing them. Again, very well said.Pound Foolish wrote: If we are to consider Odyssey anything like a real place, and we must if we are to love it, Monica can't fall in love with Jason and then be packed off to jail and non-existence-black-hole-world.
We saw what Jason wanted. He wanted Monica. Monica wanted Jason.
The characters come first.
What they want comes first.
So who cares where the actual show eventually leaves Jason. At this point, it looks like the AIO team is leaving Monica in the dump. So be it.
In our minds, Jason and Monica should be together. They are characters. Their only reality is the reality in their audience's hearts.
In my vision, in my belief, my heart, Jason has not forgotten Monica.
