here's the thing for me: I don't think it is possible that any of the survivors thus far could be in love with anyone else they met on the flight (or during the aftermath) because they don't really know each other. How could Sawyer and Kate really be in love when Kate hasn't told Sawyer what she did? Did Sawyer tell Kate what he's been about the last 30 years? His *whole* con man thing?
Shannon & Sayid? Same thing. Hard for me to believe Shannon told Sayid all about herself.
The married couples? Different situation.
I do think it is possible to fall in love with someone in 48 days. God knows I have.
Ok, my tape cut out right after Sawyer and Kate see the horse and start to move towards it. What happened after that?
I don't know if Sayid loved Shannon. I don't know if Kate loves Sawyer.
It's possible. Under normal circumstances I think you can fall in love in this period of time. Under emotionally intense circumstances it may take even less time. The survivors falling in love doesn't seem out of the ordinary to me.
Ana/Locke would work for me if they are going to make the show a soap.
Sheryl, after they see the horse Jack makes nice with Ana Lucia. Eko brings Locke the missing piece of training tape and they watch it together. Great scene with the contrast between these two characters. The tape says that it is a might bad thing if the computer is used for anything other that the numbers. Then Michael notices that the computer has typed "Hello" and responds of course. Computer asks "Who is this?" Michael responds with his name, and the computer asks "Dad?" The end.
DH and I became best friends in a month, and I was definitely in love by then even if I wasn't quite admitting it.
The Losties...I don't know. The time doesn't bug me, but I don't think we've seen any indication that these people really talk to each other. They're all protecting Deep Dark Secrets In Their Past, and so they're not getting to know each other on any kind of relationship-building level. Kate and Sawyer probably come closest -- at least they had that game of "I never."
And I believe Michael and Sun's friendship (and Michael and Jin's), and Charlie's feelings for Claire.
Honestly, Shannon/Sayid is the only one I'm unable to suspend disbelief for. Maybe I just disliked Shannon too much.
I had a rough time with Sayid/Shannon too, but I can accept it when I consider the unbelievable pairings I see IRL. Who knows what some people see in each other.
My wank is that Sayid had to fall in love with Shannon so we might care that she died. Personally I would have found it more emotionally upsetting if she had been killed and none of them cared.

Our local news did a profile on Maggie Grace. Why is it that they wait until the character dies before giving them press?
I had no idea she was from Columbus.
Perhaps one of Sayid's criteria for falling in love with a woman is the amount of potential grief and suffering she represents for him. From the sample of two so far, that might certainly be the case.
