As a person in a fix, he seems ... normal.
Quite probable. But Michael is normal too, and I like him more, even though he's pulled some stupid shit. He seems less self-involved than Boone, but not unbelievably altruistic.
Giles! I accidentally killed Spike. That's okay, right?

[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

I bow to your superior memory.
heh. Unfortunately it's not so much a case of superior memory as reading the TwoP recaps wherein Dan Kwa fixated on the expression like a two-year-old who just learned his first swear word.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Did anyone else notice how long Sayid's fingernails are?

The cost of the box and the security provided would indicate that either the toy plane has more value than I'm originally inclined to think or that there was something else in the box that we don't know about yet.
Maybe the plane was made out of cocaine...
Yeah, I just watched that L&O episode the other day.

ewww no! And I'm so glad I didn't. Long nails on guys skeeve me massively. Would have bothered me more than the maggots they showed.

Wheeee! Lost pulled its best rating to date last night, 21.46 million viewers according to mediaweek.com. The snowball, she is picking up speed.

There's no way they'd make Boone gay. I think he's probably alienated enough folks with his insensitive remarks that making him gay might be offensive to some. I was glad to see that he didn't make a snide comment or distasteful face when Shannon asked him if Locke was his new boyfriend (or if he did they edited it out.)
But Boone, gay? No way.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

Yes. Gross.

The airplane was a pretty lousy payoff, and in no way justifies an elaborate bank robbing scheme. But considering on this show a man is willing to get brutally tortured for a kiss, I'm sure that's all it was, and I'm sure Kate knew about it too.
Or worse, JJ Abrams is doing a severe misdirect and the contents of the safety deposit box are diifferent from what's in the case. In which case, I feel more cheated.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Consider the way that Shannon asked Boone if Locke was his boyfriend. The emphasis was all wrong for her to be mocking him for being gay. She was mocking him for choosing Locke.
FTR, I read that comment the same way that hayden did.
I like Boone. I don't love him, but I find him believable, and I'm looking forward to finding out more about his character, his family, and his motivations.
