augh but im not done what kills me (affectionate) about shawn and juliets development is that there are so many moments that they could have gotten together sooner had shawn been less than the man juliet deserved. if he'd pushed a little harder in the early seasons or ditched abigail when juliet asked him out or given in to his impulse to be there in person for juliet when yin took her, they may have gotten together sooner but he would not have been the man juliet deserved. which is why its sooooo insane and delicious that after passing all of those tests he still technically fails her so completely -- but you cant hate him, bc hes kind of earned the right to be called a good man, hasnt he? hasnt he????? (ask the writers and shawn of you the viewer and juliet. and you have to make up your mind for yourself!!!) (of course he has. because it's fake fiction land and he is willing to go to jail to earn back her trust like 2 episodes later. but WHAT a question!!)
