Shannon's Death

[Don't Have The Map]

I have a theory, that the island wanted Shannon dead. She saw the apparition of Walt, which then ran in the direction of the approaching trigger happy gun-nut Ana Lucia.

I also think that the whispers, could very well be Jacob.

The whispers apparently are the people who have died on the island through my study, if you get a good motion and play the voices backwords the voices start to make into sentences of the dead have conversations with eachother.

That would be so sick if their were backward conversations...do u have an examples??

I am beginning to believe that whatever the whispers are, they are the Yin to the smoke monsters Yang. In other words, the smoke monster and the whispers seem to have opposing "views" or goals. I have just noticed this lately. Think about it. It does make some sense. The smoke monster seems to want people to leave the island or leave it alone and the whispers seem to want to bring people to the island by manipulating events, like Shannon's death. They brought the tail section folks and Ana Lucia the hothead to the other side of the island. They caused a distraction, which in turn caused Ana Lucia to shoot Shannon and kill her. I see more black and white here!

She died in Boone's "vision". Smokie killed her and left her on the rocks by the creek. This was supposedly induced by the gunk Locke put on Boone's head wound.

This was a while ago, so I don't know if you've already figured this out, but if you go to DarkUFO they have recordings of the whispers, both forwards and backwards. They definitely are saying things.

Ok I caught the episode the other night where Locke hit Boone in the head and then placed the gunk on the wound afterward. But I have a problem with this John was mixing his gunk up way before he hit Boone in the head. Locke obviously had been planning on this for sometime. I just thought that it was strange to see Locke planning somthing so underhanded that nearly killed Shannon in the process and why was it so important to use Boone as a test subject which ends up causing him to die.

Now on a seperate note when the flash are occuring that night Locke does not want to head towards the Light because he knows when they are. But what is he afraid of everyone seeing that with him.

...They brought the tail section folks and Ana Lucia the hothead to the other side of the island. They caused a distraction, which in turn caused Ana Lucia to shoot Shannon and kill her.

I never thought about it like that before!

Shannon was never in any kind of danger. Shannon wasn't really there, it was a vision of Boone's. Remember, they go to the camp later? Boone was totally pissed at John for letting Shannon die, so Locke brings him back to the caves to show him that Shannon was fine the whole time. Boone imagined it. Locke wasn't being underhanded, he never put Shannon in danger. He wanted to help Boone free himself from Shannon. Remember, Locke asks him how he felt when Shannon died and Boone said "Relieved"?

[BucFanLostinNC]

Yeah I remeber I had to watch alil more I caught half of the episode. But what is really strange is how he said he was relived with her not there. But what is really messed up is that Shannon did have an attitude but that was really not her fault. She was a nice girl who had her life stripped from her. Her Dad dies, Mother InLaw cuts her out of her fathers will and when she just needed money for her internship they refuse. Somthing is really messed up about the whole situation.

[TuesdaySmith]

I think it was strange, but also understandable given their relationship.. I don't think he actually wanted her to die, but just wanted to be relieved. I think that was the whole reason that John tricked him into that goo.. he had to get over his past.

Yeah, I felt bad for Shannon, and I liked her.

Yeah maybe so the two did sleep together but his family used her. Maybe John wanted him to repent his Sins so that when he died on the island his spirt would be free like Christians. But it seems as though he seperated Boone from the 815ers so that it would look like an accident when he died, but Locke new that Boone was to die. Maybe like Des knew Charlie would die.

[3d-aholic]

I don't know....I get the feeling the whispers are not the dead...they are the other "survivors" It seems you hear the whispers and poof suddenly you got survivors there.

I am sorry but what show are you watching? Locke wasnt separating Boone form the rest of the survivors. They found the plane that Locke was looking for that he saw in his vision. Locke couldnt walk and Boone went into the plane. Locke kept telling him to get out but Boone stayed in because he heard the transmission over the radio and from sitting in the cockpit his weight made the plane go over the side.
Christian for all we know is not Christian but someone pretending to be Christian. Beside how did Christian repent from his sins. He was in Australia getting drunk and visiting his second family over there. I dont recall him repenting of anything. Only thing he said to Sawyer was that he loved his son and he wasnt really mad at him when Jack told the medical board that he was drunk and thats why the patient died from a botched procedure.
Just curious why you think Locke new Boone was to die?

[t33h33]

a possibly reason for shannons attitude is she is only 20, she's just obv fighting her own personal demons. Shame on her and boone both nice people.

Also yeah I use to think the whispers were the dead but now, notsolost I can see the connection you're making very plausable but im not sure they're are jacob or possbily actually as they say sometimes talk about revealing their identity but never do, so I suppoes yeah it could be jacob!

After watching Season 5 I started to think that the whispers come from people traveling through time. It's just a thought, you know. Other posters were mentioning a possibility of parallel universe(s), so that's kinda where I'm head to - voices from one universe are somehow being transferred and heard in the other universe (ie. the one are losties are in). I thought the same thing was going with apparitions from people like Christian and Walt, like when you fold a piece of paper.

But, nostso's theory makes sense, too.
Also, I'm gonna go and listen in on supposed backwardly recorded conversation of the dead.
