wow, lots of amputation talk here today. That's...nice.
Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
What do people think Jack told Shannon about Boone's last words? Did he tell Shannon Boone luuuved her?
I think he would have kept it professional without revealing too many clues.
What he would have said:
1. Boone fell
2. He had massive injuries
3. He died last night.
What he wouldn't have said:
1. Anything about a hatch or plane
2. Or Locke for that matter [because this just became personal for Jack]
3. I don't think he would have said anything about Boone saying "Tell Shannon - I..." [The thought was incomplete and would not help for closure.]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You don't think "His last thoughts were of you" would help closure?

I think he would have said that, but nothing specific.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
That's...nice.
Sorry, sorry.
I suspect that Jack trotted out his standard "but his injuries were too severe" Doctor Speech. He might try again at some later date, and get across stuff like feelings, but he's probably got a lot of practice for the Doctor Speech. His psychological issues notwithstanding, I don't bet there's ever been a surgeon who didn't lose somebody on the table.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Were we the only ones to yell "Dave! MOOOOOOOO" at the screen during that first tying the bow tie scene?
DH caught that. I didn't, sadly.
Nutty has traumatized me with the speed vs. precision amputation.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Does Jack know enough of the Shannon/Boone story to think of telling her that? "His last thoughts were of you" is something I'd say to comfort a spouse or a lover, not a sibling.

I actually did want Kate to give Jack some kind of, "Look, just because I have BOOBS doesn't mean I know how to DELIVER BABIES!" speech, because it seems to be a common television misconception, and just ONCE I would like to see it corrected. (Farscape came closest.) But she didn't.
I couldn't decide whether it was a case of chauvinism on Jack's part, chauvinism on the writers' part, Jack giving the task to someone Claire would be more calm and comfortable with, or Jack knowing that Kate does well under pressure whereas Charlie would be having the mother of all freakouts and be no help whatsoever.
Unless he was in love with Boone, which I don't think they meant to imply, somehow.
Well, it would explain the "OMG! LOCKE MURDERED BOONE!!!1!" overreaction, but I agree that it's unlikely that was the intent.
What do people think Jack told Shannon about Boone's last words? Did he tell Shannon Boone luuuved her?
OK, this would be very funny given what Shannon knows about Boone that Jack doesn't. Also, I can just see Sayid's silent "dammit!" reaction when he hears.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Don't people tend to default to the female because birth involves a lot of goolie inspecting? I can see them defaulting to a guy if it was a testicular problem.

Wouldn't any non-doctor guy be too busy wincing and crossing his legs to be any help?
