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?
Why do people want to like Boone so much? So far he's been either an asshole or just whiny.
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.
Hmm, I know I'd be happy to see her start glowing and get raptured right off the island.
raptured right off the island
Are you sure you don't mean "raptored" right off the island, Matt?
There's always got to be at least one bitchy person in a crowd - it'll get boring otherwise. Fans need a character to hate and Shannon gets my vote (for now).
