Yes that is what happened to Boone. I think Boone said just enough to Jack for Jack to think something else happened than what Locke said. Then Jack found out that the leg had been crushed and he knew something fell on it!

WELCOME TO LOST!

Thanks, hon.

It is, of course, me.

Ohhh, if anyone needs me, I'll be in the angry-dome!

I don't know why CTV insists on trimming off the previews, but they do.

As for the episode itself...

1) What the heck was Locke doing all episode?

2) Did it not seem that this was a very 'un-island'-ish episode? No freaky visions or monsters. No visitors sneaking up on Claire while she's in labour in the middle of nowhere! I can't even recall a mention of the numbers anywhere. It was quite a contrast to have such a real epsisode after last week's more supernatural episode. Are they setting us up for next week?

Also, am I the only one who thinks that somehow, considering we weren't shown the end of the ceremony, that Jack still found a way to walk away from the alter? Or did I just fall too hard for all the misdirection. Oh, and we haven't gotten any hint that he was married before on the show... have we? And obviously he isn't wearing a wedding ring anymore(if he ever did), so <i>something</i> happened.

Also.. broken back that Jack was involved in healing... Did anyone else catch undertones of Locke's miracle and the fact that he said last episode that Jack <i>wouldn't know what is wrong with him</i>...

Yes it was really a good and sad episode and I can't wait to get the answers to those questions!
And if Jack did get married what happened to his wife?

I didn't see that coming at all. He has a very tangled relationship with his Father, but this is the first episode he has even given a thought to a wife. So now we have a new mystery, did she die? We certainly had it emphasized that he has a problem letting go.
I was glad the script had Boone go before the additional trauma of cutting off his leg. I was cringing over that one.
I don't think Jack could have saved Boone even if he had known the truth about the injury, but Jack does not seem to see it that way.
Until Locke lied about that, there wasn't that much blame to attach to him. He did tell Boone over and over to get on out of the plane.

Jack's fiancee had a big 44 on the back of her shirt.

Great episode. I actually didn't cry until they were all on the beach with the baby. Didn't pull on you heartstrings in a sappy way.

I too kept expecting Jack to bolt at the altar. Since his wife is actress Julie Bowen (of 'Ed' fame), we must assume she signed on for a continuing role. Could be an interesting storyline. Pregnancy perhaps? Remember Jack's reaction to finding out the patient his father drukenly operated on had been pregnant?

Sigh. I'll miss looking into Boone's dreamy eyes. Hope he shows up in Shannon's flashback....we haven't had one directly from her yet.

I don't think we have to assume this at all. This show is very much like Will and Grace was a few years back...actors/actresses were calling to be on the show rather than the show trying to find actors to guest star. A show like this with it's faithful following can support having guest stars for an episode or two. IMHO!

I believe she has a reoccuring role on another ABC show, Jake in Progress. I read in the paper that an actress from Ed would be John Stamos new love interest, then while watching Lost recognized her in the Jake promo.

I think my mouth was open the whole episode! Last night was amazing on such a human and emotional level. Matthew Fox did a great job in his role as well as Sun!

I just bawled like a baby at about the halfway mark. I just could not believe what they were showing us. It really was an incredible night. I went from crying to smiling and crying about the baby, Claire was so happy. Kate also showed her emotional (and acting) range last night for the delivery scene.

As for Locke, WTF, why did he leave?? And Sayid shooting Locke just left me dumbfounded as well. I thought we were only going to have one death?! Or will Jack refuse to treat Locke after he is shot?

Geez so much to say. I may come back later when I can think a little clearer! lol

Looks like from the previews Sayid gets Jack's key to the gun case and shoots Locke. Except you can't tell on this show if it's something that really happens or if someone is just imagining it.

Ian Somerhalder was on Good Morning America this morning. He said he was told a few weeks before shooting that his character would be killed off and that it was really hard- he is really close to the cast expecially Matthew Fox.

"Tell Shannon, Tell Shannon..."
Ack tell Shannon what!!!

He loves her!

I think it was more than " I Love her."
I've been thinking that he wanted to warn her, maybe about Locke.
He did end up telling her about the hatch, didn't he?
Even after the dream where the island kills her, I seem to remember he did tell her about the hatch.
The knowledge could be dangerous for Shannon.

The reason I think it's more, is because if was as simple as " Tell Shannon, I love her.", then wouldn't they have just shown him saying it?

Are you saying it wasn't his choice to go? For some reason during the spoiling I thought someone said that whoever was leaving had a reason to go back to LA. It makes me much sadder to see him go if it wasn't his choice.

*WooHoo, I got me a Syren!*

From the GMA interview, it did not seem like it was Ian's choice to leave the show. But I also thought there was a spoiler that the actor wanted to go back to LA. So, not sure.

There was a spoiler to that effect from the Lost message boards. There was this in TV Guide yesterday.

OK, here's some scoop, er, I mean, inside dope: The soon-to-be-whacked castaway will be back next season in one form or another. And the actor/actress behind said castaway took the news of his/her character's passing badly. Very badly. Source: Ask Ausiello @ TVGuide

This is what is on Netscape today.

" ''Pretty devastating,'' says Somerhalder, of getting the bad news from Lost producers. ''Thank God I already had four glasses of really good pinot in me.'' It's two months later on a gray March day in Hollywood. A cold and a night of clubbing have left Somerhalder wiped. A patch of skin across one of his perfect cheekbones looks red-meat rare — a chemical burn from the prosthetic he wore during his final moments as Boone. ''The week I got the call, I started looking for a house in Hawaii. Now I'm looking for a house in Venice Beach,'' says Somerhalder, an unlit cigarette wagging from his lip. After bumming a light from a passerby, he takes a stab at perspective: ''I guess this is TV history, huh? The first main character to be killed on Lost.''"

It also gives a Brief obit:
"Boone Carlisle, 28, son of a bridal-shop magnate; died from injuries sustained while investigating a small plane stuck in a big tree (said plane fell out of said tree while Boone was inside); took to his grave the possible revelation that there might be other survivors on the island (voices on the radio in said plane suggested as much). For the actor, playing the death scene really hurt. Like, really hurt: ''I was spacey and nauseous and a little pissed. It's hard walking a fine line between lucid and not lucid while Matthew Fox is ramming a needle into my chest.''"

I am so addicted to this show.
