It was way too obvious. Everyone knew who it would be I was hoping for a surprise.

A tragic accident but nothing more. Nor will there be any mystery about what happened to be unraveled in future episodes. There were plenty of witnesses.

Spoilers that the how and why of the death would be interesting, that the death would be horrible and gruesome, that the killer would seem to be a monster--all just hype!

Cardie

Yeah, that it true. But hey, did I mention how much I hate Ana-Lucia?

I thought they weren't saying who the killer was in this episode?!?!?!?

Yeah, I was wondering about that, too, Peffe.

Everyone's reactions to Shannon getting shot were really well-done, I thought. Exactly the reactions they should have.

I just wish instead of going with the obvious they had done something a little more mindblowing. Even having Libby shoot shannon would ahve been more of a surprise.


Although I was expecting it to be a sort of mystery too among the Lostees.

Funny that people who read spoilers find out they're disappointed when it's all said and done. There's a reason they call them spoilers you know.

that's why you shouldnt read spoilers!! i stayed away from spoilers the last 3 weeks, and the episode was mind-blowing.

Another reason to hate the Ana-Lucia character.

Sayid looked ready to kill Ana-Lucia.

that really sucked! all that telling us how it's gonna be all shocking and horrifying... and this is what we get? pathetic

Personally, I love the way the writers did this.

There are two elements at play: first is the apparant irony of the murder. Everyone is all freaked out about being killed by the others, and then the person who's most freaked out winds up killing an innocent. Tragic irony.

BUT remember, someone did get taken by the others tonight, so Ana's fears were well-founded. Also, Walt technically led Shannon to where Ana & all were walking, and Walt seems pretty other-ish to me these days, so make of that what you will.


Just my two cents
ct

It's not an issue with the spoilers. It's an issue with the writers making it so. I always read spoilers and still find the episodes enthralling.

As one who loved to hate the most recent victim of charactercide, I'm all good with Ana-Lucia. The creators giveth & they taketh away. I've got my replacement already & all is still in balance. I was a spoiler freak last season and decided this season to keep myself out of the loop sans commercials that run on This Week w/ George Stephanopolous. I'm much happier. I was worried that Libby (a la Arst (sp?) with the dynamite thing; secondaries & tertiaries usually don't stand a chance) was going to go, so I was presently surprised.

I agree, if it is a well written episode, knowing some of the things that will happen is ok. I think there are way WAY too many commercial breaks the last several episodes, and I think they have slowed the stories down, but it's still a great show.

I loved the reaction when the reality of it set in to Jin and Micheal. I think if Sawyer had been concious he would have Ana on the ground right now. He acts like he doesnt care about anyone, but I think he would have reacted!!

I was also VERY surprised that we discovered the identity of the "killer" tonight....everything I'd read indicated that we wouldn't find out until the episode after next. Just goes to show you that "spoilers" only go so far.

All in all, I was quite satisfied with the episode, even though it was pretty predictable...all signs pointed to Shannon, but I think her flashbacks were well-done, and they actually made me buy Shannon's death as something of a legitimate loss, and not just a shock tactic. I'm glad that Shannon got to go out as a character of actual depth.

As far as Ana being the killer goes--I actually LOVE it! I think the creative team is deliberately building the hatred of Ana to a fever pitch before revealing what made her such a contemptible personality next week. Regardless, it sets up the potential for some SERIOUS stuff to do down when the two camps finally meet.

walt was warning them he said shhhhhhh, sayid did look pissed though also, are we sure ana shot her or did she just have her gun raised i think it looked like her gun was fired

Still, the episode's ending has me wondering. The previews did say that one of the Castaways would be "lost forever", and we saw two potentially lost - Cynthia when she disappeared and Shannon when she was shot. Could Cynthia be the death and Shannon severely wounded? Probably not, but you never know.

Also, Walt technically led Shannon to where Ana & all were walking, and Walt seems pretty other-ish to me these days, so make of that what you will.


Just my two cents

I agree, he is kinda freaky and scarey these last episodes....I didnt even think about how he may have "led" them there. But i dont see him doing that for the outcome we got, afterall he gave Shannon the dog. Maybe he was trying to get them to find each other is all

I didn't read any spoilers, so when they lost Cynthia, I was thinking "Oh, she's the one who's lost forever, that's lame. She had like one line, who cares?"

But then Shannon got shot! Awesome ending!

Then there's Sawyer - he looked like he was in pretty bad shape, too.

But yeah - I thought the ep was well done - the acting particularly was very good - but not too much of a surprise, except for Sayid actually *seeing* Walt, and that it looks like we know who the killer is.

Suse

Fair point. I've got bad feelings about Walt these days, though. I mean, both times we've seen him he's been out of nowhere, soaking wet and basically speaking tongues. It's pretty messed up.

But there definitely is something significant about him giving Shannon the dog, because he only appeared to her (until Sayid saw too, but why didn't he appear to anyone else before that?)

Anyway, I'm absolutely loving this season.

ct

walt was warning them he said shhhhhhh, sayid did look pissed though also, are we sure ana shot her or did she just have her gun raised i think it looked like her gun was fired

I forgot about that, that he was shhhing them. And good thought about it only "looking" like she did it. That could end up being the twist.....

I wasn't really disappionted althoguh I have yet another reason to HATE ANA LUCIA!!! GRRR!

Yeah, I could see Walt trying to protect Shannon somehow. Maybe he wanted her to meet up with Michael?

I think the other poster had a good point, Cynthia is now 'lost', how do we know that Shannon is dead for real, maybe the other girl is the one that is lost forever.

Yeah, I could see Walt trying to protect Shannon somehow. Maybe he wanted her to meet up with Michael?

Why didn't he just go to Michael himself?

ct

See, I'm a little confused...

One of the spoilers said:We'd have a teaser as to who the killer might be at the end of "Abandonded" and that someone who's NOT the killer will be blamed for her death

I honestly don't see room for that in this ending....unless Kristin V was wrong.....which is not totally unbelieveable.

Thought the episode was great though. Can't wait till next week !!! SQUEE!

I was thinking that Ana was just kind of in wrong place wrong time kinda thing and that she wasn't the true killer, but on another thread I read that when she held the gun up you could tell the chamber was empty so that means the lone bullet was fired at some point and we only heard one shot. I guess I don't really have a point to this and I'm just rambling but... anybody have a clearer idea of what happened?

Why didn't he just go to Michael himself?

ct

Oh, who the heck knows? :rolleyes: Um, cause he has the Vincent bond with her? The loss of parent bond?

this episode made me hate ana-lucia so much! :furious: i mean intense hatred! that :censored: !
ana-lucia--->:chair:<---me

I'd like to see that Kirstin spoiler if anyone could find it for me; I don't know where to look. It wouldn't surprise me, I guess, if what is said in the spoiler is the case -- that possibility has been suggested several times in this thread. I kinda hope that that isn't the case, though, 'cause I really liked this revelation as it was, as opposed to it being a red herring.

ct

Ah but this is Lost and things are rarely as simple as they seem. I will be surprised if Ana is ultimately the killer.

Alright, there was one shot. The slide of the gun in Ana's hand was back which happens after the last shot in a clip is fired. Or it is put back by the shooter. Why would she slide it back? She didn't have another clip or bullet. Conclusion...she fired the gun. Question: at whom???? Is Shannon's wound from a gun shot? Sure looked like it. 2+2=Ana Lucia shot her. Period. And that totally sucks. We had the "I love you and I believe in you" speech and 10 seconds later Shannon is dead.
The only other plausible scenario is this: Ana's gun misfired and she pulled the slide back to maybe get another try at a shot. But someone beat her to it? Not Cindy. If the spoilers are to be believed, it would have to be one of the Lostaways. So Jack thinks it's one person and accuses them. Then out of nowhere the shooter speaks up. I don't buy it.
What we saw tonight is what happened for now. Maybe they do have a twist for sweeps. One last thing. Cindy wasn't shown as a possible person to be lost forever. So I'm gonna wait for two weeks to see what they come up with since next week is a tailie episode. After that, I may not watch again.

I was surprised that Ana would shoot out blindly in the dark like that. The others
didn't come out after them yelling "Walt" and thrashing through the brush. They
grab and take without a sound, without leaving tracks. Shannon was making
lots of noise.

Here's the link to LOST on spoilerfix

This Kristin spoiler is about the fifth one down, next to the date 10/17

It would be way too obvious for Ana to be the killer. Doubt they would have shot it like that unless they were planning the ole bait and switch.

Thanks for the link. There's another spoiler, though:

# 10/18 - A female series regular will die at the hands of another female series regular. Source: Kristin on E!Online [Note: This was revealed during her on-air segment.]

Which suggests, to me at least, that things are in fact what they seem this time.

It would be way too obvious for Ana to be the killer. Doubt they would have shot it like that unless they were planning the ole bait and switch.

ITA, Blackadder. Ana shot at something/someone, but it wasn't Shannon. We'll probably find out in two weeks that it was a large-caliber rifle that felled Shannon, something out of the Swan armory, from long-range.

Then Ana will be exonerated and folks here can let up on the Ana hate.

A tragic accident but nothing more. Nor will there be any mystery about what happened to be unraveled in future episodes. There were plenty of witnesses.

Cardie

I was actually horribly disappointed with how the killer/killee scene played out. Talk about lazy writing! But now, I'm starting to think Shannon was actually killed by someone else and Ana-Lucia will take the blame.

It may not have even been a gunshot that killed her. That guy Goodwin had a nasty looking spike or stake through his chest (right about where Shannon was wounded). Perhaps the "others" WERE there, attacked Shannon with the pointy stake and then when the shot went off they ducked and ran and Shannon stumbled back to Sayid. The killing would have been "gruesome" and the killer would have been considered a "monster".

The wounds could look the same, especially if there is a hole all the way through. If they don't find a bullet they will just assume it went out the back and is lodged in a tree somewhere.

I'm going with this new theory because I really hate how predictable the other conclusion would be. As much as I looooove this show, I would not be dying to watch it if an episode that COULD have been mindblowing plays out with Ana-Lucia as a paranoid wild shooter accidentally killing Shannon. I'm banking on there being more to it than that!!!

(crossing my fingers!!!) :undecide:

You don't think the Walt they are seeing is some sort of projection to lure Shannon into the jungle? Maybe what the others really want is the dog. Michael used the dog to win Walt over, wouldn't the others maybe try it as well.

I figured Shannon would be the one to die. Her backstory had pretty well played out, and after tonight's ep, there was really nowhere else to go with her character. We learned exactly how wicked Boone's mom was, we know how she eventually "earns" her own living from "Hearts and Minds," and now that someone believes in her, her story arc is complete. The bitter irony of her finally receiving love and appreciation only to have her life cut short is pretty dark stuff. I may be wrong, and they may keep her alive, but that would be pretty lame after the way ABC promoted the ep.

This also creates a situation where Ana Lucia becomes the most hated and distrusted person in the camp. Jack will have a tendency to sympathize with her because of their earlier flirtation, and she will look to him for protection. That sets up the "love triangle" between Jack, A.L. and Kate that was hinted at pre-season. Further, it will create conflict between Jack and Sayid. Not bad writing at all.

There's still the possibility that the Others manipulated the situation, using their "whispers" to build paranoia in the Tailies, knowing that it would result in the death of an innocent. "They're smart."

.

That would be a good story line; someone from the Island stopping Walt from
contacting Shannon by getting her out of the way; Ana just holding the gun in
that direction. However, if so, that person better load up, cause I'm thinking
Walt has just begun to contact his people; he will keep doing it until someone
pays attention and pieces it all together.

I agree completely; you just articulated exactly why I hope this episode wasn't a red herring.

I believe that Shannon has died from a fatal gun shot. Also, I really like this episode. As a matter of fact, I like them all. I love LOST, I love everything about it. Getting excited about watching it every week and the mystery that continues to unfold, well, it's just wonderful. Developed patience a very long time ago. No spoliers for me. Sometimes I'm just a good guesser.

Sayid, well, he looked like he was going through some pretty horrible emotions. Just told Shannon he loved her, then all of a sudden, you can see it in his face he starts hearing those WV ( I call them whisper voices) that he has heard before, they both see Walt. Yes, I'm just sure he saw Walt as well, then just as you think she might have a brain in her head, she runs after Walt. My thoughts are still out on what the other lostaways were feeling. By the looks on their faces, they are very stunned.
just throwing a few pesos out for the evening. It took a little while to get on tonight as the server was busy....hum?

I thought about that and I agree. I like the way you put that " However, if so, that person better load up, cause I'm thinking Walt has just begun to contact his people;

He is warning them, right? And, who better to stop any progress on that island unless "he" wants it, In my opinion would be Locke. He has had every opportunity.

I read the spoilers and thought for sure it would be Rousseau. Wow! I was wrong

I truly hope ther's more to this shooting than meets the eye. I will be very bummed if that's all ther is to it.

Perma-lurker here with a quiet idea:

Has anyone entertained the idea that it might have been Desmond who fired the shot?

We know he's out there somewhere, lurking around, and we know he has access to weapons, including a high-powered rifle. The shot that "Killed" Shannon sounded like a rifle, not a handgun... Who knows why he might have fired the shot, but I'm lead to wonder about the picture of Desmond and the blonde girl from the hatch. Possible connection?

Just a few thoughts. Discuss.

I sat there for about 2 minutes with my jaw dropped. I didn't read spoilers. I was in shock though. I said in the begining of the epi that I was tired of the whole Sayid and Shannon story and that Shannon should just go. I didn't really mean it though!

Still, the episode's ending has me wondering. The previews did say that one of the Castaways would be "lost forever", and we saw two potentially lost - Cynthia when she disappeared and Shannon when she was shot. Could Cynthia be the death and Shannon severely wounded? Probably not, but you never know.

Yes, and we still don't know Sawyer's status. We'll assume he's going to be okay, but will this whole thing have an effect on his personality? Also, when Cindy (Cindy or Cynthia? I'm too tired to recall...) disappeared, Ana made a point of telling Eko that her fate was on him. How ironic that it looks like Shannon's fate is on her, although I'm not saying anything for sure until I see the next episode or two. It is too ambiguous to call either way, imo.

How could Ana shoot Shannon when the two groups aren't scheduled to meet until the episode called "Collision"?!

That's not what happened tonight. We witnessed two different events edited together to make us initially think we were watching one.

Interesting idea...do we know for sure Sayid was looking at Ana and the rest of the group? Do we know Ana, Michael, etc were looking at Sayid? It sure looks like it but there isn't a camera shot showing both "sides" in the same view...

I'll be really mad in a couple of weeks if Ana Lucia saw Shannon, aimed, and shot her. I don't think it's necessarily being spoiled that makes things disappointing, it's the hype people put on it. I initially felt the same way after the finale.

I think Ana saw something else, aimed, and that something else really wasn't there. Or someone else could have fired the shot, like Rousseau, (not a spoiler, something I thought of myself) and it just looked like Ana did it. Ana accidentally shooting someone doesn't make her a monster, it makes her human. We've seen that her "paranoia" and "edginess" aren't unfounded.

All I know is it looked like Sayid was ready to snap AL in half. Good thing she has the raft men with her and Shannon told Sayid about the bottle washing ashore.

Also, it's interesting whether Walt was saying, "Shhh..." as in be quiet and don't go running yelling into the woods, or if he was just saying Shhhh and wanted her to follow him.

Happy tubing,
Megan

I hadn't thought about the ending being an editing trick, but it would be an interesting twist. Desmond as shooter crossed my mind, but I think that's unlikely. He's a basket case of a different sort than the Tailies. If not Ana as shooter, then who?

Just lookout for whoever is left handed. Ana is definitely right handed shooter is left.

Im pretty sure AL shot that girl they looked for.. who killed shannon, could been desmond... a male it is tho

what males got guns ???
Locke, Jack...

Just a few thoughts. Discuss.

The flaw with this idea is that we only heard one shot. The weapon Ana-Lucia was carrying had clearly fired the last round. The slide was in the locked-back position as it should be when the magazine is empty and the last round is fired.

The high powered rifle scenario does not play out either. High powered rifles typically fire projectiles that break the sound barrier causing a miniature sonic boom. Even if the shot was fired from so far away that the initial report was not heard, a loud crack would still be present as it passes through the atmosphere.

If you're thinking suppressor or "silencer" as they're called in Hollywood, that would only work with sub-sonic ammunition...45 caliber, most .40 caliber, some 9mm, and .38 special. There are plenty of rifles available chambered for those rounds, but highly unlikely that they were present on the island since they are not common in military. Also not as accurate from a distance.

That brings us to a "silencer" on a handgun fired by one of "The Others". More plausible than the rifle from a distance scenario, but unlikely. Why would they you guns when we know they can snatch up people silently as in the case of the brown haired woman who went missing and caused Ana-Lucia to panic?

I think Ana-Lucia just lost it, panicked, and shot at the first thing she saw moving instead of sizing up the threat as she shoud have...

...considering she is a cop. Not a very good cop IMO.

yeah... i have a bad feeling it'll turn out thatt ana lucia is the killer, no twist involved.

i'll be bummed if she's the "monster" alluded to in the spoilers. sigh. it's just too easy. a lot of people hate her already, this just adds fuel to the fire.

as for spoiling vs.not spoiling, per satisfaction quotient (my that sounds scientific haha, but, for sure it's not): i always spoil myself. most of the time i am not disappointed because it gives me a chance to watch everything else and figure out if some twist is up, or to spot clues. or simply to enjoy how the writers play the whole thing out.

but the ending to tonight's show disappointed me, and i don't think it's because i read the spoilers. it was just... such a simplistic outcome.

i think all the stuff with cindy and sawyer was a big ol' tease - though i don't really begrudge the writeres that device. as i said in another thread, i'd be delighted if they killed off all THREE characters, just to astound everyone. now that would be really unexpected.

not that i want to see anyone go...!
not sawyer!
not even cindy. and yeah - i'll miss maggie grace, i think her character got the short shrift from the writers. too bad. oh well - still diggin' the show and looking forward to next week. i am not an ana hater, so i'm hoping that character will get a little more sympathetic.

blah blah - wow! it's late! i better catch some shut-eye! :drowsy:

Yeah, that it true. But hey, did I mention how much I hate Ana-Lucia?

No. But you did mention loving dmjgmfna.

Im pretty sure AL shot that girl they looked for.. who killed shannon, could been desmond... a male it is tho

what males got guns ???

What happened to the gun Sayid took off and put down while in the makeshift hut with Shannon???

I am kind of surprised hearing that some people were dissapointed in the ending and upset the Anna (maybe) shot Shannen...

Anna and her group just made it up the hill, found out Cindy was taken, so they know that the 'others' are right next to them. Then the whispers start on full force, to the point that people are visibly shaken. They look terrified, and when she takes off and yells run, you can imagine that they are all in complete panic...

So, it doesn't remotely suprise me that she could have accidentally killed Shannen. If they come bombing through a trail and another person pops up in front of them... after all they just went through, I'd shoot first and not even slow down or look back. I would be running for my life.

Remember, the first night they had 3 taken. Two weeks later another 9 taken. Then Cindy was just taken... You wouldn't exactly be in a normal state of mind. I think she is acting as most of us would. Shut your mouth, keep quiet, and hope to God the others don't show up. I'm surprised that they are as calm as the appear!

i am only a third of the way through this thread so i am sure that it has been suggested that...perhaps Ana did not shoot Shannon. Perhaps you saw what the show creators wanted you to see...there are some discrepancies that are worth noting

If AL did shoot Shannon, it would keep conflict alive between the two groups of surivers.
Which will add to the drama. Because a united front between all surivers would make it so much eaiser for them to defeat the Others. As along as they are fighting among themselves, they are a much eaiser prey.
The one thing that has bothered me sinse this show started. Why the oringinal 40 surivers have not worked together. It has been small groups since day one.
AL shooting Shannon would make sure there is on united front.

I actually think this is more interesting than a "Who shot Shannon" mystery--although there are some who think there IS a mystery--but if everything is as it appears, then Sayid has an even more difficult job ahead of him. He's good at detective work/revenge, not so good at forgiveness.

It also crossed my mind that Sayid could have been the shooter--because there was that obvious reference to the gun when he and Shannon were in their love shack. But I think we saw the whole shooting incident from Sayid's POV. Unless he blanked out and the audience missed that time period as well--but I don't think so. Too complicated. And he didn't have the gun out when he found Shannon.

Alright, here's what I think.

I support the theory that Ana did not shoot Shannon. Mainly from the evidence given by other, more observant, people on the boards: Right Handed vs Left Handed, Different Stances etc. and come on, when has LOST ever made it that easy for us?

Now, I see several things that need thinking about

*Spoilering it just in case*


1) The "Killer" looks to be holding a knife or some tool, rather than a gun

2) We have to think about "who else is out in the jungle besides Sayid and Shannon", given that the Tailenders are still supposedly a day or so away from the Fuselagers camps we can probably rule out Vincent getting shot.

3) IF that was Walt using psychic island magic to warn Shannon and the 2 groups where that close, it would make more sense for him to try and contact Mike. Then again Shannon could just as easily be crazy and Sayid was playing along to placate her.

4) I think Desmond is invovled, either he was the one Ana shot or the one that shanked Shannon with a shiv. He's the only person I can think of, other than Russou, that could be that far out there in either case. There is also the possiblity that Ana accidently shot that girl that dissappeared earlier.


So, until the big reveal is made we can all just say the guy in the chicken outfit stabbed Shannon with his beak for all the actual answers we'll get.

Answering number 3.....I believe he thinks he is dead, because of what happend on the raft.

What happened to the gun Sayid took off and put down while in the makeshift hut with Shannon???
Not sure. I went back and checked and it doesn't look like Sayid took it with him when he went searching with Shannon. (He seems to stuff it into the back of his trousers when he's carrying it, but there was no sign of a gun in his trousers at Boone's grave and when he started out with Shannon/Vincent.)

I have to say that I am surprised at how many people are disappointed with this epi. I for one LOVED it! I didn't read any spoilers (except that it was to be a female cast member). The epi may have seemed predictable to some, and maybe you are right, but the LOST writers has proven time and time again that they know what they are doing. I cannot wait for the next couple of weeks to unravel...

A good observation has been made... where is the gun that Sayid had in the tent/hut with Shannon, this may prove to be important. I don't know if AL shot Shannon or not, LOST has fooled me on many other occasions, this may be another. I am ready and willing to believe some of the theories regarding "Who shot Shannon", I will close my mind to nothing and I am sure I will not be disapointed, even if it is exactly how we saw it.

As I said before, I LOVED this epi - great acting, emotion, action, suspense... it had it all!

I just read that here about the name of the epi "Collision", so the tought that came into my mind was that the collision is going to be between Ana and Jack. But then again, maybe it's going to be between Sayid and Ana.
