Wherein I rant briefly about Lost
Here be spoilers
So they killed Boone. Nooooo. Fuck, no.
I do not approve of killing someone just because it seems logical that someone must die. What is logical about this show. There are so many other less interesting and more annoying characters they could have killed off, but it seems to me that they didn't because a) none of the female characters could be killed because they are paired off. b) neither the Asian nor the African-American dudes could be killed because it's all about the political correctness. And neither of those characters seem that interesting to me, sorry. Where exactly were their storylines going?
I detest Shannon and I feel that she and Sayid have zero chemistry. On the other hand, she and Boone actually had a very interesting stepsister/brother incest thing going on that they needed to work through, and I would have liked to see Boone work through more of that. Or not. When it comes down to it, I'm all about the twisted and I felt that Shannon and Boone were the most interesting couple on the island. Not that I wanted to see them doing the nasty, but I thought there was some seriously interesting darkness to be explored there. Much more interesting that articifically slapping together male/female characters so we can have romance. I'm also annoyed that they didn't even let Boone say goodbye to Shannon while he was alive.
I also hated that Boone's last episode was all about Jack's stupid issues. Give it a rest already. However, one thing I do find intriguing is that it's increasingly obvious that Jack had some issues with the bottle himself, just like dear old Dad. Honestly, I deal with Jack fine, but there are times when I feel like the dead horse has been thrown off the cliff already.
The thing is, I do love the show and most of the characters. I even like or tolerate most of the ones I don't love, I simply hate Shannon. But the whole circle of life plotline of this ep felt too obvious to me.
However, I am glad that it looks like the character will be mourned properly. It also looks like they will be getting back to some interesting intrigue and conflict. I also want to tip my hat to Sun, who is an actual strong female character on that show, and even Kate who did something useful for once. It occurred to me to wonder why Charlie couldn't deliver the baby -- do the writers think only women can do that?
So that's my usual disorganized ramble, and I'm off to run errands.
