yendiDon't think I'm happy that we have to wait three fucking weeks for the next new episode.
Ding, dong, the Boone is dead!
Now if they can just kill off Charlie (and maybe Shannon), I'll be out of folks I want to see die.
(And yes, I know a lot of you love Charlie in that "must write Mary Sue fanfic and have my character seduce him away from Claire" sort of way. But he's an asshole and a schmuck, and whatever sympathy I had for him vanished at the end of "Numbers.")
Oh, and I don't believe for a second that this is the last death, unless all of Abrams's comments about how a well-loved character was going to die were either lies, or signs that he smokes crack and thinks that people like Boone.
Killing off Boone does accomplish two diametrically opposed things, though: It shows us that no one is safe (not even a character who's gotten a flashback episode), and it creates a feeling of relief, with the thought that no other main character is likely to die. It's the latter feeling that I hope Abrams is exploiting.
Oh, and Boone took his experience in the plane to the grave with him -- no one else knows about his conversation over the radio.
