lost 2-6 "abandoned": the theory mill begins again
After three weeks (dude, the withdrawal!), Lost has returned and Shannon bit the big one to go to that deserted island in the sky. In other news, Sawyer passed out (finally! big frickin surprise there), Charlie's become controlling over Aaron while Claire and Locke bond (WTF?), Rose doesn't like the hatch, one of the Tailaways goes missing, and DropDeadGorgeousSayid just lost the woman he loves so much he built a special tent for her.
I knew that Shannon was gonna die. I'm just happy we hot-blooded fangirls got to see Shirtless!Sexy!Sayid beforehand... Oh Naveen Andrews, you pretty, pretty man. Le sigh. It sucks that you're on a J.J. Abrams show. They'll probably kill you off, like they do all the pretty men. Though, what the hell happened to your undying love for Nadia? Nevermind. The real questions now are a) is Shannon really dead? and b) what the hell killed her?
Stop your coughing, internet. It does seem cut and dried, doesn't it? Shannon runs away, a shot rings out, Shannon shows up dying with blood all over her stomach and Ana Lucia's holding Sawyer's gun guiltily. But oh, silly Internet, this is Lost. First off, there are those who believe that Shannon wounds were made by a knife or machete, in other words, that she was stabbed, not shot. Perhaps then Ana Lucia is her savior? (You're gonna have a tough time convincing my Sayid of that. Yes, MINE, dammit. I saw him first, I have the well-worn VHS of The English Patient to prove it.) I got the feeling that she wasn't quite dead, and that perhaps the writers were setting up another nice bit of parallelism by making Dr. Jack to choose between whose life he was going to save, the redneck or the woman? As he doesn’t seem to be in the habit of letting Rutherfords live, I’d say her outlook looks bleak.
Was her death destiny and part of the storyarc or simply because Maggie Grace wants to do movies now? Who knows. There are some who tapped Shannon to die because her and Boone were not actually supposed to be on that flight— hence they weren’t destined to come to the island like the others— hence their deaths are like the island “rejecting” them. Which I can sorta buy. Though again, the purgatory idea, that the island is “redeeming” the survivors from their past lives and then killing them off once they’re fulfilled, is nice too. HOWEVER I fail to see how psychopathic pirate-zombies work into that scenario. If I recall my Kafka, hell was other people, not the genetically mutated half dead scruffy wackjobs. In the end, I never liked her or Boone or their storyline, so I’m not exactly heartbroken to say sayonara to the two of them and their flashbacks.
What I’d like to see is how this effects the dynamics of the Tailaways meeting the Lostaways, the Tailaways having killed one of their, the Lostaways, own. Kinda hoping Sayid goes military on AnaLucia’s ass, but that could just be my pent-up rage against her character and Michelle Rodriguez’s crapping acting (WTF is up with her teeth? Does she have like an endless supply of Crest Whitestripes in her pants or something?) But then again, the Tailaways also lost someone: the extremely forgettable Cindy, and here's where the theory mill strikes again.
Theory #1: Cindy's the Tailaways Ethan Rom, and has returned back to the Others to report.
Theory #2: Libby is the Tailaway's Ethan Rom, which is why she ended up carrying Cindy's bag up the hill and not commenting on anyone missing until the other Tailaways noticed. Also, she's a clinical psychologist, on an island with experimental facilities set up by, among other professionals, clinical psychologists.
On a side note: Walt and his crazy crazy talk. Perhaps it was the influence of Shirtless!Sayid, but I swore that Walt said “Swallow” when he entered Shannon’s tent. (Dirty!) Though the radio this morning reported that Walt really said: “They (meaning the Others) are coming, they are close” (which also could be interpreted dirty too... But whatever.) ;P
ETA: A friend of a friend believes that Shannon really isn't dead because he believes that Boone will come back to life somehow... the walking dead or something. There's been theories that the Others are in fact ZOMBIES (way to rip off your own shows, J.J.)... but maybe there are no Others. Maybe there are only other people from the flight who died-but-didn't-die and subsequently went nuts?
I think I just blew my own mind. I gotta stop thinking about this for a little while.
