Abandoned
What an amazing episode of LOST last night... I was starting to lose patience, after being gone for so long (there should NEVER be a three week hiatus in the middle of a good story arc). Last night's episode brought me right back...
First, the title - "Abandoned." It was so clear how this title fed into the show, as it was all about Shannon, and all the people who have abandoned her in her life (some intentionally, some not). Finally, she found the one guy (Sayid) who wouldn't abandon her, who loved her, and BOOM! A not-so-stray bullet from Ana Lucia's (actually, Sawyer's) gun, and it's all over for (almost) everybody's favorite island hottie.
The title works conversely as well, as it also tells the story of how the Tailies DIDN'T abandon Sawyer, but instead how they (more speficially Mr. Ecko) made extreme efforts to help get him back to the original survivors. Very powerful shit.
Everybody had their ideas and theories of who was going to be killed off last night. As Babylon will attest, we've been discussing the fact that it would be Shannon for months. Of course we hoped it wouldn't be, as there's just not enough good looking castaways these days, but alas, she's gone (or is she? I LOVE THIS SHOW!).
Did ANYBODY envision that her end would come at the hands of Ana Lucia?
On a side note, I was over-analyzing (as I tend to do with this show), and looking at the background image of the website for The Hanso Foundation. Click the image below to zoom in. Anybody else think that this is almost alien-like?
There's clearly a set of eyes there. Possibly a head and some arms? Hrm...

I don’t think Shannon is dead. I think it is Sawyer. I don’t know what makes me think that, seeing how I am yet to see the episode. However, from what I’ve read and heard it doesn’t seem conclusive that Shannon is dead. I saw the ending on AOL and she faints into Sayid’s arms, but she doesn’t look dead. Sawyer, on the other hand, has had a gun shot for a few days at this point and it has been infected. I think that makes a strong argument (given that the creators of the show like to throw shit at us) that Shannon survives. This is my theory that I have created. Remember I missed this episode so if I’m right based on what I know from previous episodes and read about this episode, I will crown myself the title as “Lost God!” However if I’m wrong, (which is possible but I’ve got a pretty good track record with theories of the show thus far) then I will blame it on US Airways for having mechanical problems and making miss the show!
