I'll tell you what, I don't generally dislike characters--even the villains--but Shannon has me really working not to dislike her. She has had no problem getting other people to work for her, whether it be Boone or other men on the island; she's certainly shallow and vain; and she's treated her step-brother like felgercarb, using him to extract money from her stepmother and getting him beat up and emotionally abusing him in the process. Well, he's gone now and she feels guilty about the way she's treated him--but instead of confronting that, she wants to displace it--onto Locke. Gee, will killing him make her feel better? No, I don't think so--not in the long run, anyway--not even as shallow and unable to recognize her own emotions as she is.
Locke told her that he couldn't imagine what she's going through, but he does know what it's like to lose a family member. No one can know what the individual experience of another can be, but they can know their own experience in a similar circumstance. Sayid learned first-hand how horrible it can be to use someone else in the attempt to work out your own pain . . . this is why he stopped Shannon from making the same sort of terrible mistake (well, that and the fact that he believes that Locke might be the key to their survival!
). It ruined his and Shannon's budding relationship--but I think that's worse for Shannon in the long run . . .
I had to laugh, of course, with them making Sawyer, of all unlikely people, the baby magnet. It had to be.
And then there were the commercials for the soft-news spot including a clip laughing over fangirls finding Jin "hot." OK, didn't any of these women watch
Angel? I was looking forward to
Lost partly because DDK would be in the cast. And, 'sides, there's more to DDK than "hotness." :lol:
