If I were on an island

[chani]

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 agree,very icronic that. You know the other thing I found interesting that no one on my friends list seems to have commented on, is the fact that Henry told Locke he was coming for him.
I don't know what to make of that.

I suppose by now I'm too late to have any input but I just have to know...

What did you decide to wear?



As for Ana Lucia getting a "taste of [Sawyer's] mangoes...", I'm not sure I've ever heard it referred to in that way before. ::dies laughing::

I wasn't surprised of A-L's death either - mostly for reasons outside of the story though - which make me fear that Libby is a goner, too. She might survive for a while, but both these ladies are out I believe.
Nevertheless, I liked how the writers managed to close A-L's story and at the same time opened up new connections which might never come out.

I think that there once people have gone through their issues or have done the things they were supposed to do they die. They all live on borrowed time and only the ones who grow are taken.

Michael has understood something when he was away...and I bet that had Ana killed Henry she wouldn't have been shot by Michael.

Oh... I imagine something has happened to Michael, but I don't think it's what you believe. Why should Michael kill Ana just because she didn't kill faux-Henry? Just because by her admission that she wasn't a killer any more and thus not useful in getting back Walt? Ok, that would be the case if Michael felt he needed to create a situation that would cause them to attack 'the Others.'

But there is another possiblity. Go back to faux-Henry trying to kill Ana-Lucia. She was a wanted person by 'the Others.' Ana may not be the 'cold-blooded killer' that she was, but that need not preclude her from being a warrior. Thus she may have been useful, if even just in a training capacity.

The other way of looking at this is that Michael has become an Other (or is somehow under their control - mind control?). Thus faux-Henry still has a usefulness to 'HE' of the Others as an escapee from the Hatch who prompts a quick and unplanned response from Jack and Locke. Even more unplanned because Ana is no longer there for her experience to be a moderating influence.

Now as the trailer for next weeks ep said.... Michael holds the destiny of the passengers of Oceanic 815 in his hands. But who is pulling Michael's strings. And it might be interesting next ep to see if the countdown is going on as faux-Henry starts to flee, if so, does he enter the numbers or not?

And is "HE" of the Others able to project his mind or otherwise harness the electromagnetic power that exists on the island? Is that the Black Smoke Monster? And is that why it did not harm Eko? Is Eko like Locke, one of the good ones? Is faith the measure of that? Is faith possibly the measure of "HIS" ability to control any other person? Or does faith have something to do with control of the island's power? Either way, faith seems to be a key.

The other characters still have demons to fight on the island, they can't leave yet.

Yeah... but then it might be that the writer's don't like to let anyone's story hanging either!
