LOST - Wednesday 11/9/05 {Spoilers for this ep and previous eps ONLY!}

I don't read the Lost threads too close. And you guys knew that Shannon's father was the guy who died in that accident before this week?

Yes. When he is brought in to the emergency room they say his name. We know previous to that that Shannon's father died in a car wreck and we know her last name. Plus some of us do research on other sites to confirm these things.

Shannon could live, since Cindy might fulfil the promo. But I agree it is more interesting for Shannon to die and Cindy to be an Other.

I agree. Shannon= dead. Cindy= Other. I like it!

Ah I didn't remember the last name.

I'm actually VERY disappointed that Ana shot Shannon. Not because Shannon is dead... while it would have been interesting to see Shannon and Michael discuss her visions, she always felt kind of meh IMO. I'm disappointed because it was Ana that shot her. It really strikes me as a ham-fisted way to create even more drama between Ana's group and the other survivors. Personally I think it would have been better for Cindy to do the deed, revealing her an an Other, making Ana's group realize they've been played, and actually strengthen the bond between the two groups. There could still be drama, because they could still be blamed for not realizing Cindy was evil.

But we're still not entirely sure that that is the Other's modus operandi.

I'm not convinced that they kill "just because" - and certainly not in the context/situation you describe.

Just thought you might like to know there are rampant rumors that Ana did NOT shoot Shannon. Many are trying to say the shot sounded an awful lot like a rifle, not a handgun. Plus we didn't actually see it happen, and well this is LOST and unless you see it, you never know.

EDIT: also a theory that the wound is from a knife, not a gun. Screenshot:

We ready do not know they kill do we, they take, mostly kids (are the women seen as breeding stock?). Goodwin was dead in the forest, "remember what happen to Goodwin" was what Anna said, we do not know if the others killed him, he killed himself, or Anna's group killed him, he could have gone deliverance on everyone.

Note to self: was not one of the Drama goals dealing with the mind.

Now that is interesting...

Now that is interesting...

Also specualtion on shots of the "actual" shooter being left-handed and every time we see Ana with a gun it's in her right hand.

I would. And did! This show isn't about The Others. It's about the survivors and their relationships with each other. The producers have said this numerous times. Having Anna-Lucia kill Shannon creates much more character conflict among the survivors than having an Other kill her.

The Others aren't the heart of this story. The survivors are. If you're expecting the interactions with The Others to make or break this show, rather than the interactions among the survivors, you're going to be disappointed.

wow, saying the twist wasn't great obviously revealed a lot more....wrongly I might add, then the words would indicate.
