If anyone here has a considerable amount of power behind the scenes in show business (hint, hint), maybe Timhe or she could offer the actress a plum role that would metatextually spur the character into shuffling off the mortal coil?

[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.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Wearing a bikini and pouting is a tough job, but someone's gotta do it.
After the baby's born, Claire can take over bikini duties. And Sawyer can pout.

I'd be on board with one of the polar bears wearing a bikini and pouting if it'd get Shannon out of there faster.

I dunno. TV likes to keep the Madonnas and the Whores separate. But setting that aside, I'd be happy with that option. (Or, maybe there's another hot blonde -- preferably one who can act -- among the 30 unnamed surviviors.)
You think Sayid's going to bite it so early?
I don't think it's immediate, but I could see him dying precisely because it will be so shocking.

How come nobody mentioned Jack's mom is Joyce Davenport?
I vote the island has some id-amplifying mojo. The island is manifesting thing. However, I do think Jack's vision of dad was more hallucination, abetted by island mojo.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Maybe Shannon and Boone's sibling rivalry is amplifying each other's worst qualities, then? (Bitchery and Buffoonery, that is.)

Hey. New board.
I'm sensing Shannon hatred. I don't get it. Sure, she's annoying, but she serves the important purpose of "Being that stupid annoying girl that everybody bitches about." Personally, I wouldn't like a show without such a character, at least not a show that thrives on having as many different types of characters as possible.
Also gotta say I find it highly unlikely that ANY of the main characters (list includes Jack, Locke, Boone, Claire, Sayid, Jen, Sun, Kate, Shannon, Shannon's Brother whose Name I've Forgotten, Hurley, Sawyer, and whoever I'm forgetting that's a main character) will die any time soon. At least not until sweeps. And probably not until the end of the first season, or at least after somebody has formed a romantic partnership. Then they can kill a lover, which is always more fun than merely killing a main character.

What is even happening?
I am now certain that Shannon will not ever die, just to make us all unhappy.
