I just got the mother of all headache inducing tasks at work yesterday so if my posts and emails are few and far between it's 'cause I'm utterly overbooked and too damn tired to touch a computer when I get home.

One of the worst things about having no time lately is that I don't exercise and then my weight starts creeping back up and I begin hating my body again. Next week no matter how many other tasks I end up with I'm setting aside the time for exercise. If I can stop this now, nip it in the bud, so to speak, then I won't do the emotional downward spiral. And exercise in general leaves me feeling stronger, more confident and happier in general so it's damn near a crime not to make the time for it.



Ok so the writers almost pushed me too far last night with the whole Sayid/Shannon sex scene *shudder*, but I will admit the look she gave him when he got out of bed to go away so Walt could show up...er, I mean to go get some water, of course, was rather nice. It so clearly said, "See that hot little ass? Well that ass is mine." I could almost respect that.

The whole "poor little rich ballerina" storyline was supposed to evoke some sympathy from me, I'm sure, but instead just made me growl at the tv "Oh, too good to go get a job at Macy's are we, dear?" So I'm meant to feel bad that Shannon chooses not to actually work her way through the internship, rather decides to go get some Aussie asshole to help her try to blackmail her dim but well intentioned brother? Uh, ok. I'd have had more respect for her if she started hooking on the streets of Manhattan, but maybe that's just me.

Anyhow, I felt really bad for the Rear-Enders as they schlepped along trying to avoid the Others and get to the Happy Fun side of the island. Particularly after Sawyer passed out and they had to carry his heavy redneck ass through the jungle. Oh that hill ascent was just painful to watch, and oh lord did I respect Sawyer's actor for letting them do that. I'd have been too afraid of getting dropped.

Although the crowning moment of the entire episode was, of course, Shannon haring off into the forest when she sees Walt again (who wisely told them both to shut the hell up), and Sayid wisely deciding that while she's an excellent lay, she's not worth running off into the forest with the whispery voices for. Then the gunshot and I dared to dream for the first time that maybe, just maybe...YES! Shannon staggers into Sayid's arm with the most satisfying gut wound I believe I've ever witnessed on television. And then of course the reveal which had me laughing so hard I actually scared the cats. I was wiping away tears and chorteling, "Hot Lips shot Shannon, oh fuck yeah!" That was so oh my god good, I can't even tell you. I now officially forgive the writers for the hell that was the Sun's missing ring episode.

Now I only hope that Dr. Hero Jack can't pull some miracle out of his ass in the bunker to save her, because that would just be so unfair.

I'm quite interested to see what life was like for the folks in the back of the plane on the next episode, then seeing how they integrate this new group into the original one, should be good stuff.

Oh tell me about it, the bastards better not cheat me out of her death twice...

I believe I heard you cackling all the way here in Florida. And, from what I've heard, Shannon is d-e-d DEAD, and not coming back. Let us all put our hands on the television and say amen!

As Aelf said last night, as soon as I see her planted beside her brother, *then* I'll believe she's well and truly gone. Until then I remain cautiously optimistic :)

Yeah, *everything* I've heard coming out of "Lost" is that Shannon is dead. Couple that with something Klae relayed to me at Merlin's bday party, that when he met Javier Grillo-Marxurach down at D*C, Javier told the group gathered around him that they have been scrupulously honest *not* to lie to the media about where things are going, with the one exception that Artz was going to become a main character, I think she *is* dead.

Besides, storywise, it'd make so much more sense: Tailsectioner that Captain Hero Jack has met before kills a Lostaway in front of Sayid to whom he has just expressed his undying devotion to. Conflict at 11.

Plus there's always the possibility now that Sayid will kill Ana-Lucia, who cannot die too soon for me. I was happy to see Shannon go, but at this point A-L would have been even more satisfying.

Naw, Sayid will now be broken, well and truly broken. Then again he has been something of a black widower for chicks in the past, hasn't he? His last girlfriend got tortured and disappeared, and as soon as he declared his love for this one, BANG! Right in the gut. Maybe he'll swear off women entirely and declare his undying love for Sawyer instead :)

Hey, now that would be must-see TV! Yeah, shortly after he told Shannon he knew what it felt like to lose someone he cared for, she's dead. Maybe he'd better keep his mouth shut about declaring his love for whoever's next.
