In fact, right after Anna Lucia said that she was unable to kill Henry I turned to my wife and said "She's next to die. Her issues are resolved." And then, *BANG!* she's dead. I was hopping with excitement! "Did you see that? I said she was gonna buy the farm but I didn't expect it to be that quick..." *BANG! BANG!* Libby goes down, clearly not with issues resolved. "It's okay" I told myself. "She's not dead. He shot her through the blankets and those slowed the bullets down enough so she'll live." And then she stays unconcious until right before death and obviously isn't at peace as she croaks. *KWOOOOSH* That flushing sound you're hearing is the Purgatory theory going down the crapper.I figure that's all her death was supposed to do. Kill that theory dead. They got us into a pattern we thought we could rely on, then yanked the rug right out from under our feet. Now nobody's safe and anybody could be gone without resolution! What if Locke dies and we never find out what the heck happened to his legs?! What if Hugo dies and we never find out why he was nicknamed Hurley?! It's kinda like the panic Han Solo went through in the begining of the New Jedi Order series. After so many adventures where you all live happilly ever after by the skin of your teeth, when somebody close to you finally kicks the bucket it makes you wonder how safe you and your other loved ones really are. Hasta la vista, charmed life! On the opposite side though, if that theory is dead now, then that might mean that well liked characters like Charlie can still stick around for awile.Anyway, overall it was a so-so episode. Like lots of others, I was put off some by the re-hash of what we already knew. I could have just watched the last 15 minutes and gotten the whole episode worth of new info. Personally, I wonder where Locke is off to? Something about the way he left just didn't seem like he was just headed back to the hatch or anywhere normal. The way he walked off hitching his backpack up seemed to imply a longer journey ahead. Can't wait for next Wednesday to see alot of new info and a good wrap up for the season.</blockquote>
