Click hereIn Rebecca, Jack had found the woman I had predicted for him all of those years ago. She is great. And I actually think Jack was being kind when he first described her to me, because she is a knockout, and I think high school might have been very different for me had she been around to challenge me for social primacy. She was a lot like me, but with a doctorate in physics. I think she has the confidence, despite the history that Jack and I have, to truly believe that I am no threat to her, and she is right, and therefore we have been able to become friendly. I go out to visit them occasionally, and they see me when they came to Washington to see Sarah and Steve and their kids.
I continue to look for my perfect man, and worry that I found him tutoring me in physics in high school, because it may well be that one person might be perfect for another, but not vice versa. I wonder if I had made different choices, say, given up my career to follow Jack on his, or tried to get him to find a job in Washington, that we might have married and been happy. But maybe not. And the fact that he found Rebecca tells me that there was something in our relationship that wasn't exactly right for him. Meanwhile, I keep meeting people, and working and dating, because you never know when lighting will strike.

Xactoover 2 years agoGreat insight into Dana’s character. It’s fascinating what we can talk ourselves into, and out of. ❤️
bluealseidesalmost 4 years agoThis is a pretty good complement to the original series. I still think Dana's deep rooted fear of showing vulnerability prevented her and Jack's relationship from deepening sooner and reaching its true potential.
Apparently their universities were not that far apart yet they still thought that distance was too much to sustain a relationship. I kept up a long distance relationship with my girlfriend across 500 miles for a couple years. My job also had be traveling a lot at the time and I was frequently further away and out of contact with her for weeks at a time. But we kept dating, all the way until we married. It may very well be that even with as strong of feelings they have for each other, they were not meant to be.
Just like the original series, a little bittersweet.
sithonalmost 9 years agoI like the dual sides to the same story. It was quite ironic that the social queen didn't have the self confidence to make her feelings clear to Jack. Jack who lacked the social skills to find his own girl till his sister jump started his love life.
photosaurusalmost 12 years agoIt took me a while to accept that Jack and Dana didn't end up together, but now I hope somewhere in a sequel that "lightning will strike" for Dana. Although it's difficult to tell, I think she has grown, especially in the epilogue. After all, she fell for a nerd, treated him right, and always took the high road. (although that was sometimes her weakness) She could have been the same manipulative bitch that she had been throughout high school, but she let Jack have his relationships--and even a wife--without interfering. I think she deserves to find someone perfect for her the way Jack found Rebecca.
