Yeah. It's not a literal reset, just a "JJ, we need new viewers" kind of thing, like they did in the middle of S1.
This, re Lost ep 13:
This appears to be a Boone/Shannon-centric episode, told from Shannon's POV
Is also incorrect. (It's Boone's POV. Shannon's will come later.)
Jessica,
cool. thanks for the corrections. It's okay that you can't say more. What little tidbits I can get are fine with me.
I have a feeling that that slash between Boone's and Shannon's names isn't so much to indicate they share a point of view in the episode...
I've been skimming some. Do we know yet what Shannon and Boone's secret is?
Well, all arrows point toward them having a romantic/sexual relationship.
Whether this means they are brother or sister is not known.
Their big secret? Their real last name is "Brady".
And Boone used to be a pop star named "Johnny Bravo".
Their real last name is Usher. Not as in, "the musical phenomenon(TM)", but as in Fall of the House of.
So his name is Boone Usher? Who names their kid that?
Ooh, ooh, I know! (And I have now been given permission to spoil at will, since the basics are already out there.)
Boone and Shannon are stepsiblings. Boone's been in love with Shannon since forever. He thinks he's been saving her from abusive relationships by paying the men to leave her, when in fact she's been faking abusive relationships in order to get money. This last time (in Sydney, natch), he figures it out, and Shannon ends up giving him a sympathy fuck in his hotel room the night before the flight.
Meanwhile on the island, Locke has figured out that Boone has an unhealthy obsession with his sister, and when Boone threatens to tell Shannon what they've found in the woods, Locke ties him up and sends him on a vision quest in which Shannon is killed by the monster (but not really), thus severing Boone's tie to Shannon and imprinting him even more solidly onto Locke.
He thinks he's been saving her from abusive relationships by paying the men to leave her, when in fact she's been faking abusive relationships in order to get money.
I fucking love this SO MUCH. Yay, angsty perversion!
Is this next week's episode?
