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.
Can we have some discussion regarding why Jack believes Locke murdered Boone?
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.
On Locke v. Jack -- Locke's obscurantism is biting him on the ass, as it should. If he'd been more forthcoming all along, okay, everybody would have known he was a nut long ago, but there would have been far less reason for anyone to suspect him of hinkiness. Because of his omittive lies, statements of the truth ring vaguely false from him.
Although why someone would throw his minion off a cliff and then carry him all the way back to camp, I don't know -- Jack will need to logic that one out at some point.
On Boone's leg v. falling door -- isn't that the exact WRONG way to amputate a limb? I am thinking, especially on leg amputations, you do it at the joint, and cut through tendons between the bones, rather than risk a messy crush and bone fragments everywhere. Also, I would think it much easier to stop the bleeding if you wield a small, sharp scalpel than if you just chop all the blood vessels at once.
I mean, clearly, a desperation move on Jack's part as he knew Boone was dying, but -- it was a bit much.
Love Sun and Jin and their awkwardness. Not as much a fan of the miraculously clean, no-recovery birth, but whatev.
I'd imagined, but didn't see if, they'd attached some sort of blade to the door. Or done a lot of sharpening. Otherwise it's not cutting anything firmer than butter, really. Didn't they test on a log?
I'd wanted someone to come barrelling in -- Hurley, maybe, and bump into it so it fell and sliced off..well, anything would be fine, off most anyone there.
