The fact that she got shot through a pillow just leads me to believe it was set up for her to survive.

Then again, supposedly she got signed for another show and people predicted she would leave, so you could be right. I can see her not dying immediately, at the very least. Ana-Lucia seems to be dead already.

Why did it seem like water was dripping from the ceiling after Libby fell down?

Michael is a jackass. He needed to shoot himself in the face for saying "they took my boy/son" for the 20th time. I wonder if he's actually working for the Others or just doing what needs to be done. My guess is that he's working for the Others. I think some head honcho told him to get rid of the woman that killed Goodwin, and use Henry as a scapegoat. If Henry truly had failed and was doomed, then this seems fairly logical.

I am convinced that Michael is doing it for his son. And I think he actually IS one of the "good people," and I was convinced from the beginning of tonight's episode that it WAS no coincidence he came running out coincidentally at a fine time.

Incidentally, I am pretty sure Faux Henry was sent in to divide and conquer. He was caught intentionally, since the idea of a sleeper in the survivor group would be out of the question. They needed to find a new way to split them into two groups. It's a pretty good theory, shut up. ;_;

Ana Lucia deserved what she got, that angry little uncontrolled bitch. I'm glad she got it. But one shot to the stomache seems a little....um...unrealistic. She'd have died a slow, agonizing death if that were realistic.

And I think Libby was carrying blankets for the picnic.

Man, that took me by surprise. But it seems that it was planned from the beginning [POSSIBLE SPOILERS]. I can't say that it actually worked in the context of the show, but it definitely delivered on the shock value.

Yes, she probably would have, but whatevs.

I don't think she deserved to die. I actually never minded her as a character, she plays her role well, even if it's the same role as in any movie she's ever been in. I mean each character is a little annoying, and Ana Lucia certainly doesn't top my list of least favorite characters.

Oh, right. Even still.

Yea, no kidding, huh?

That one kind of blindsighted me, if only there was another commercial (albeit an ABC promo) right after it, and it wasn't IN the show. I tried to tell my father (who watches with me religiously each week now, but always talks trash about the show) that "HOLY SHIT WHAT THE CRAP IS THAT" but he was oblivious, which, you know, made me feel like I was insane.

That clears things up. A part of me wasn't believing all the things that had been said about Ana-Lucia.

And yeah, I didn't even hear or look at the Hanso commercial. It must have really blended it, because I'd imagine hearing "Hanso" would make my heard turn.

I barely even noticed that commercial (my sister missed it completely). Damn, it was only on for less than ten seconds. Eh, it's not like I was gonna call it, anyway.

You get your password for the Hanso Foundation mailing list if you do.

God, I hope Ana Lucia is dead. I was literally cheering for Michael when he shot her. But there was a scene during the credits that shows her being set into bed. Maybe she survives?

I seriously thought it was a commercial for the DaVinci Code, since it started out with images of DaVinci, and then his paiting of the splayed out man in the shape of a pentagram.

But then, they got creative, and REALLY made it blend it. It was really well done. It almost had me convinced that there actually WAS A real Hanso Foundation.

I noticed the strange little correlation to real-world events. It makes me glad to know that it was more or less set in stone from the time she showed up.

I'd hate to see Libby go. She's sorta likeable even though she was, y'know, in a mental hospital with Hurley and she doesn't really seem to be very open.

I'd say the odds are in favor of Ana dying, since we still need to know why Libby was institutionalized and why she has a thing for Hurley (assuming the answer is something above "she's insane").

I hated Ana Lucia when she first appeared and killed Shanon, but I began to tolerate her over time, since she was one of the few characters to be legitametly complex. But I think now's the right time to kill her off, since her story has been pretty much told in full. Keeping her around any longer would just make her "the angry bitch". Plus I wouldn't want them to start an on/off relationship with Sawyer. That was a one-time deal, so let's leave it at that.

Funny you should mention that. Sex scenes = death

I just called the number three times, and I got nothing (not even a busy signal, just complete silence for like a minute). I guess there was a time limit, and it's over now.

I doubt that's what it is. Lines are probably clogged with thousands of callers, that's all. My sister experienced similar when trying to vote for American Idol.

I tried as well. Zip on my end. Meh.

Man, nothing happens in LOST. :/

Michelle Rodriguez better be dead.

Oh, and I like how it was the nigger who went on a shooting spree. :p

Did anyone try http://www.thehansofoundation.org/ yet?

If not, go to:

I found the executive bios section to be quite interesting. "Liddy," huh?

I liked Ana Lucia, I hope she makes it. It was no big loss when she shot Shannon, did everybody a favor, that girl was a waste of oxygen. If Libby is gone look for Hurley to really go off the deep end.

That site is mad freaky. I sent JOOP a message, yo. The active projects are pretty interesting.

Man, there's more happening on this web site than in the show.

Edit: I keep getting "connection timeouts" when I send the message. :p

I feel that Shannon was really growing as a character when she died. She was actually starting to become less whiney and lazy, and felt that here death came too soon because she hardly had a full character arc.

I'm convinced that the Others told Micheal that they would let Walt go if he did this. He is still not rational, and this is further proof of it.

Shoot himself in the shoulder, kill witnesses and/or Ana Lucia specifically, and make it look like the Other did it. Simple as that.

HOLY CRAP THAT WEB SITE IS FREAKY.
