Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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

Now tagless for your comfort.

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.

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

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

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.

Our wings are not tired.

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.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Cleolinda's recap.

Poor Boone. He's all laid up dying from smush, and it's still all about Jack.

(So... wait. Sawyer's got an STD and Jack is [or was?] married. I think Kate's playing field just got a lot smaller...)

Here come Shannon and Sayid, laughing, arms around each other, back from their romantic night of... getting to second base, I guess.

Yeah, but Boone was the only one who knew it, and he wasn't exactly in a condition to give directions.
