Believe me, in comparison to the one below it's a piece of pie. ;) Uhm, okay. Let's take that he survived and that he was left behind too.
1) Because she's somewhat like Shannon (tall, a blonde and piercing eyes even if the color is different) and at the same time she's like Jack (a doctor, she actually accomplishes things and she's older than he is); he never could resist either, but such a combination is a killer.
2) Because she has been trapped there for three years, she's always the other woman, she's always the first to be left behind and now she was left behind by the person she probably loved the most, while he has been conned for at least a year if not more by the person he loved the most, he was always the first to be taken advantage of and to be forgotten, he never even managed to be the other person for anyone and he's left behind, too. With her, he's the other person and that's always better than he ever had and he can treat her like he always wanted to treat Shannon (but Shannon never allowed it).
3) Because Jack saved the both of them and then left them both behind and they do have something in common indeed.
4) Because while Juliet understood after ten minutes that he's the the kind that would make any Freudian psychoanalyst happy, from the bare fact that he was in love with his sister (and somehow is still) to the way he becomes freaking compulsive not only because he wants to be helpful but at pretty much anything he does, and while people ten years younger than she is aren't exactly her type, he still is the nicest person she's met during the last three years, he makes her feel like a princess (for how ridiculous it sounds) and the point is that while they both know what it really is about, he's utterly and absolutely sincere and it's clear that he puts her issues before his own. And it might not exactly be healthy but it's exactly what she needs.
5) Because she wasn't there before and after. She doesn't treat him differently because he survived that fall, since she knew him after it happened. Everyone from the crash still looks at him like he's some proof miracles exist and he hates it, but she doesn't and nonetheless she's kind to him in a way no one else he cared about that way was (Shannon never really was and Jack kind of lacked the bedside manners, not to mention that it was clear he wasn't interested in the sense Boone was); he craves it as he craved the positive attention before that plane fell down.
Also, I hate you because I want to write them now. ;)
