It could have been a love fuck or a lets have babies with a gnarled family tree fuck or a I'm-your-daddy fuck. Still not as disturbing as how he got over it.

However, I do see it as a pity (not sympathy, pity) fuck. A "right, right, I'm sorry, stop whining" fuck.

I think Shannon would have to be a nicer person for it to be a pity fuck. She just regained control over him. The sex skeeved me a lot. I could understand the relief. He's not a strong person. He's a little pissant. If she's dead all his sibling/sexual feelings don't have to be dealt with. He can just pretend it never happened.

I think Shannon would have to be a nicer person for it to be a pity fuck.

Yikes. Either you think she's way less nice than I do, or don't see a pity fuck as an extremely un-nice thing.

I'm confused. Who is pitying whom?

Still not as disturbing as how he got over it.

As I said, I agree.

Either you think she's way less nice than I do, or don't see a pity fuck as an extremely un-nice thing.

Or both. I think it was designed to get control over Boone, so it went a little past pity fuck. She did an already not nice thing, because she saw a way to work it to her advantage.

Shannon, pitying Boone, in my evaluation.

I'm with -t. At first, I thought Boone was pitying Shannon, but ita seems to think it's the other way around. Either way, I didn't think it was a pity fuck. I thought it was, for Shannon, "I'm drunk and he wants me," and for Boone, "I can finally have her the way I want her."

As I said, I agree.

I wasn't disagreeing with your agreeing. Just clarifying my point.

"I can finally have her the way I want her."

In my pity-fuck scenario, that's precisely what the pitied party thinks.

Shannon's been drunk around Boone wanting her before, I bet. I think she was shutting him up, trying to cover over what he just learnt.

For her peace and future opportunity, though.

Given that she was drunk and she came to him after Brian took her "half" of the money, I'm not sure I'd call it a pity fuck either.

However, she definitely had ulterior motives for fucking him. It wasn't just the "drunk fuck."

Exactly how many different fucks can we come up with?

What if he saw her being brought into the station by Marshall Shrap and managed to overhear a few tidbits of why she was there.

Ooh, I like this theory.

Shannon depended on being able to manipulate Boone, and he had finally caught on to how she was doing so, so she added a new way.

Yeah, this was how I saw it, too.
