Thanks, Amy. That's so very much how I feel, too.
ita, thanks for explaining agency.
Mal: So we run. Nandi: I understand, Captain Reynolds. You have your people to think of, same as me. And this ain't your fight. Mal: Don't believe you do understand, Nandi. I said 'we run'. We.

What is even happening?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
BTW, I don't much care for Ana-Lucia's character either. I don't HATE her (like most on the 'net seem to), but she doesn't do anything for me.
I think it is possible to dislike them both.
Eko on the other hand...

Because books.
The thing is, though, there are always people who *only* react, and they sometimes affect the outcome of an event just as much as those who *act*. I think Shannon served a purpose, and could have served a better one if they'd let her stick around.
I don't dislike Ana Lucia, I just wish they would develop her a little more. I may just be sick of that sullen, wary look on her face.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I kind of enjoyed her whiney uselessness
I enjoyed it in theory, but only because I assumed that carrying it to its logical (island-logical) conclusion meant she had to eventually die. The thing about a magical island that tests people to their extremes is that it was always going to kill her off -- she was just too pointless to live.
I wish Sayid was holding a nasty grudge against Ana-Lucia.
I'm kind of glad he's not, only because it lets me pretend that the Sayid/Shannon romance never happened. I never bought it while it was happening, and now I never have to.

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

I don't think Shannon was affecting outcomes, though.

That's very true.

Does anyone read the Lost diaries on the ABC site? This entry names what Eko is building.

who's supposed to be writing that diary?

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
It's been a long time since I've read it, but IIRC from the first few entries, it's just one of the random Losties that we see in the background. No name for the diarist has ever been posted, I think.

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel
Shannon really was a void.
But she was so, so pretty.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Can anyone confirm that the show runs long tonight?
