I think that without a will, what happens depends on the state. It might go all to the wife, but it could have to be split with the kids.

On the other hand, that living whatever it was may have made this more complicated.

Well, Shannon's dad died before Jack was married, right? So, this would be before the Scottish guy wound up on the island. Does anyone remember how long he'd been on the island?

I'm finding it more than a little ironic that Ms. "One gun and one bullet won't make any difference" didn't waste any time in using that bullet. I won't exactly miss Shannon, but I'd trade Fight Girl for her in a second...

Also, I kept waiting for Sayid's gun to go off accidentally in the tent and kill Shannon that way. Not that I was in any way spoiled, I just had a hunch Shannon was the one to go.

I just had a hunch Shannon was the one to go.

The episode was touted as being one where someone dies. The first scene was of Shannon. I knew Shannon was going to die. Shannon and Sayid had The Sex. I knew Shannon was going to die. There were Shannon flashbacks. I knew Shannon was going to die. Shannon was on a mission to prove that she would be useful. I knew Shannon was going to die. Sayid professed his love for her. I knew Shannon was going to die.

If I didn't know that a character was supposed to die this episode, I wouldn't have expected it.

aw I missed the Shannon/Sayid big sex. Wah. Ah well. (came in about the half way point)

CNN this morning was speculating that Shannon might not be dead and that the missing Cindy could be the actual dead chick. It was more a reporting of internet speculation. That type of mislead would seriously annoy me. They wouldn't actually do that would they?

thinks of another popular JJ show, gets discouraged

Umm, she was all shot and bleeding and stuff.

I get that, but master surgeon Jack and island magic? It just shocked me that the conjecture was out there. No, say it ain't so.

Yay! I never disliked Ana, but for killing Shannon? My favourite Lost person ever who's not a hot guy.

Yeah, I'm deep like that.

I think Ana makes sense. I don't want her on my team, so much, but I do give people points for trying and Shannon spent way too long not (and even now -- dogwatching??? That's her big gig) for me to see the character as worthy, and I think the acting flat.

Sure, her stepmother was a bitch, but sometimes crappy things happen to irritating people.

I think to have her not be dead would be a real cop-out. I mean, they're in the middle of the jungle, far away from camp. And now, Sayid gets to totally hate Ana, not just be pissed at her. Mmm... friction.

Mmm... friction.

That should be the title of the third thread.
