If I were on an island

I'd know what to wear today. But I am not. 

The sky is grey, it might rain later...and I'm going to a wedding in the afternoon ! 
Shall I wear my long purple dress with the stole I bought in Marrakech? But which shoes could match it? Or maybe the Chinese-like outfit  I wore once at a friend's wedding? Or my dark green suit (dress and long-sleeved jacket) ? Or black trousers with a fancy top? This is soooo frustrating.

If only I were on an island....

I was beginning to really like Ana-Lucia you know...

It's the Shannon syndrome !

Well at least A-L got a taste of Sawyer's mangoes which was funny given all the speculations about A-L/Jack and Kate/Sawyer.

But actually I am not surprised by her death. Good people are taken away by the Others or simply die on the island. 
And Ana was no longer bad. She wasn't a cold-blooded murder anymore. The flashback we got at the airport was significant. As she told her mother, she could come home now. 
Michael has understood something when he was away...and  I bet that had Ana killed Henry she wouldn't have been shot by Michael. The other characters still have demons to fight on the island, they can't leave yet.

Also Libby was shot just like Shannon, by accident. This time by Michael who had just killed Ana. It was like the handover from the old killer to the new one. The fact that Sayid suggested that Hurley could take Libby to the beach where he had taken Shannon foreshadowed a parallel, a similar fate between Shannon and Libby. But Hurley screwed up, so maybe Libby didn't die. Maybe the blanket protected her.

By the way I found Hurley really annoying again.

Lost leaves me more and more with the feeling that, as different as the characters seem to be, they are actually the same, so their storylines have to be connected or have to echo one another.

If there's a key, I  just hope it is Locke.

I think that there once people have gone through their issues or have done the things they were supposed to do they die.

Eko would appear to be there... and he's still around - maybe even Charlie. It might just be that the writers don't want to send anyone major away without coming to some resolution in their character.

Oh no Eko and Charlie still have stuff to deal with! Eko is nothing but an impostor who threw himself into faith. His journey isn't done. Neither is Charlie's. They are experiencing a temporary remise.

The only one who might be there, as you said, is Locke, hence what Henry told him. But I mistrust Henry so...

Having said that, since the writers seem to have "won" a third season, many major characters need to keep struggling for the series' sake which is getting old IMO. The danger is that the characters are going round in circles and therefore getting nowhere. I saw it in "Six Feet Under" with Brenda and later with Claire, and it became boring.
