I think Jack is in some denial, but also probably believes that if he'd known about the leg being crushed, then maybe he could have prevented what happened from happening. Elevating it from "Locke did a bad but probably not malevolent thing" to "Locke murdered him" is kind of taking it to 11 and I think it is due to Jack's issues. But it is also informed, I think, by Boone's mumbling about secrets and Locke.

oh, that's cool. Glad I didn't miss any funny dialogue while screaming "lalalalala" with my eyes squeezed shut

I can almost gurantee you'd have been doing that during the segment of ALIAS the dialog did come from. Heh.

Can we have some discussion regarding why Jack believes Locke murdered Boone?

I don't know if this is where they are going to go with it, but Jack may see Locke as the equivalent of the Rev. Jim Jones. If Boone hadn't "drunk the kool-aid", he wouldn't have been around the plane in the first place. And Locke flat out lied about how Boone got hurt, so Jack knows he's hiding SOMETHING. I don't think that's too large an assumption, especially since Jack's all pissed that he couldn't be savior-guy, AND he didn't really help with the baby at all.

It makes sense for Jack to think that Locke killed Boone, or at least is responsible for his death. Think about it from Jack's POV - what he knows: Locke says Boone fell off a cliff, Boone's injuries are not consistent with falling off a cliff, Locke disappeared right after dumping Boone at the cave, this whole "we're hunting boar but not ever catching any" thing has had everyone suspicious for a while. Locke killed Boone is not the only possible conclusion, but it's pretty reasonable.

During every scene with injured!Boone, DH would remind the TV that there was a plane full of painkiller out there and suggest they send Charlie to get it. My sweetie's a little sick and twisted.

Is that Jack going off half-cocked (as it were)? Or is there something Locke could have done (short of telling Boone not to get in the damn plane in the first place) that could have prevented his death?

Well, Jack is all full of grief-y Issues right now, plus Boone didn't really give Jack the full story, since he was too busy dying and whatnot, so working with the very limited information he had, added to Jack *really* needing to blame someone or something (other than himself), he put 2 and 2 together and came up with Creepy O'Scar.

For a minute there, he honestly had me thinking that we was going to call it off right there at the altar.

Anne, me too, and I spent his entire speech shouting "Fuck you!" at the TV. Um, and then I felt a little silly when he went ahead and married her anyway, but then WTF was with his whole "I can't let go" thing? Very confused.

So long, Boone. Can't say I'll miss you. I did think Shannon gave good cry-face at the end there.

I wonder if Jack will think that Boone was talking about a different plane, or just flashing back to their own crash.

Also, not alone because I kept saying--"There's a plane full of opiates out there!!!"

I wonder that, too, ita.

I also don't understand the point of the Jack gets married backstory.

Glad we weren't the only ones, Cashmere.

That would be reasonable. Jack leaping from Locke is hiding something to Locke killed Boone is also reasonable.

The death makes it a wide open field for major character personality shifts for many of the core group. Crap, I really want to discuss, but work calls, loudly.
