I'm amused by some of the posters at TWoP who assume Shannon actually stole the water and Boone is just covering for her. Why do people want to like Boone so much? So far he's been either an asshole or just whiny.

I was fine when existence had no meaning. Meaninglessness in a universe that has no meaning -- that I get. But meaninglessness in a universe with
meaning? What does that mean?

Do we know that Walt's mother is Michael's wife?

And he's resourceful and intelligent and kind.
Have we seen "intelligent" yet? Dude can't spell bodies. I'm very much with you on the sentiment, though. He's a big guy, but that's not his character. I also love his hair.
No, really, why do people hate Hurley? There were some people who didn't like his referring to Sun and Jin as "the Chinese people," but that's just ignorance compared to Sawyer's deliberate "Mr. Miyagi."

I don't think it's a matter of wanting to like Boone as it being a plausible explanation that's in-character for both of them. Actually, not really that plausible. I can't see Boone covering for Shannon, the way he bitches at her about everything. Then again, it's a sibling thing.
Do we know that Walt's mother is Michael's wife?
No, actually. Michael only refers to her as "Walt's mother." That's just an assumption with the caveat that he's Walt's father.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
One interesting theory I read (and I don't think this is spoilery) is that the people on the island are all having to work through their fears and issues - kind of in a group therapy situation and they've created this island in a state of hypnosis or something.
I'm not sure how I feel about the hypnosis part...but I'm intered in the idea that this island is helping people work through issues. I doubt this is the situation, but I thought I'd raise it.
Did I read about that here?

Amen. Dud bitched out the guy who saved his sorry supposedly-a-trained-lifeguard ass from drowning. If I were Jack, when he shouted "who appointed you our savior?" I'd have waved beachward and said "you wanna dive back in? be my guest."

Boone just seems nice when he stands next to Shannon. But then so would Hitler....

I don't like Boone. I don't like his sister. I want them both lit up.

In the pilot, even her hotness couldn't stop me from wishing her to be monster chow. But now, I find her fairly entertaining in addition to hot, and I'm interested in knowing why she's such a bee-yatch.

I love Shannon, but I always like the bitchy characters. I was a big Cordelia fan. Now she started out pretty awful and ended up being kind of cool (my favorite Cordy period was around season three when she was still shallow and bitchy, but helped the gang out) -- maybe Shannon will mature like Cordy did.

So far, the few flashbacks we've seen have led us to sympathize with the person in the flashback. Right now, I can't think of anything that would make me like these two.
