I STARTED mine before I saw anything up... so technically... j/k...
I'm SHOCKED.
Wow. Michael killed Anna Lucia. Why? First thing that comes to mind was that the writers need an excuse to kick her off the show because she gets in too much trouble in Hawaii. Then I thought, maybe Michael knows something about her we don't. Then I thought, maybe Michael has been transformed into an "other". When he killed Libby I knew he was only startled.
I'm guessing that he killed her in order to get his son back. Perhaps he made some kind of agreement with the others.
I'm saddened by this episode. That was too traumatic.
Please pardon my pseudo-intellectuaphilisophicalismysiticality.
Yeah, that was a crazy episode. Once Michael had the gun, I said to myself, "Uh-oh, did the others TURN him??"
Then he said sorry to Ana-Lucia, and I knew that he'd been affected, but I wasn't expecting Libby to go down, and I certainly wasn't expecting him to pop himself after opening the locked room...
Certainly a shocking episode... I gotta ask myself though... Do the WRITERS even know where this show is going, and what's behind everything? I'm so messed up over this show right now... I can't make heads or tails of it.
Damn... what a mind blowing ending to the episode last night.
I think that the others did affect him. He killed Ana Lucia (I said something, after her second drunk driving incident THIS season... that she would be killed off... and she was), but we don't know if Libby is dead. The shot looked lower, and I'm hoping that Jack can save her. Michael shot himself in the shoulder. Bastard I'm sure that "Henry" escaped. Man, this is definately something. NEVER saw that coming.

Two For The Road
Air Date: 05/03/2006
Jack and Kate stumble across an unconscious Michael deep in the jungle. And while Jack is primed and ready for a confrontation with the Others, it is Kate who forces him to deal with the task at hand: Michael needs medical attention and he needs it back at the Hatch.
Speaking of the Hatch, Ana Lucia receives a nasty surprise when she goes into the armory to deliver a bowl of food to a dejected Henry. Only Locke's last-minute intervention is enough to save her life. And while Locke is desperate for answers to his questions, he knows that time with Henry is running out fast.
In FLASHBACK, we see Ana Lucia confronted by her mother -- who's also her captain -- upon returning to the station after a shift. It seems a body has been found in a parking lot. And it just happens to be the same guy who confessed to shooting Ana Lucia. But when Captain Cortez tries to offer her daughter her help, Ana Lucia quits the force and runs away… all the way to Australia.
Turns out she met a guy at the airport; a guy who was running away from his own problems and the two of them forged a dysfunctional partnership. She agreed to go to Australia to "protect him" and he agreed not to ask too many questions. Hard to believe it didn't last long…
Michael is being cared for in the Hatch. He's regained consciousness and the information he presents is startling. He knows where Walt is. And the Others have been lying about their strength. As soon as he is strong enough, Michael is going to return to their camp in force. And he is going to take his son back. The entire camp is activated, caught somewhere between hopeful and terrified at what this all means.
In light of her recent troubles, Ana Lucia is desperate to get her hands on a gun. And when she barters with Sawyer we learn just how far she is willing to go to get what she wants.
Hurley attempts to move his relationship with Libby to the next step and asks her on an honest-to-goodness date. And we can't help feeling happy to see that, even here, good things can happen.
But it's just not that simple now, is it? And this wouldn't be LOST if things ended up happy and hopeful. So, as the episode draws to a close we are taught yet another lesson about the dark side of mankind..and what we are capable of doing when there appears to be no other choice.

Editor's Note: The following Associated Press article contains spoilers. If you'd rather not know what happened on Wednesday's episode of "Lost," stop reading now.
LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Sex, betrayal and bloodshed were the order of a fateful day for the lost souls of "Lost."
With the season drawing to a close this month, "Lost" put several of its airline-crash castaways in the line of fire and proved it hasn't run out of plot twists -- or a willingness to prune its roster.
For those eagerly planning to watch Wednesday's episode of the ABC drama on TiVo or videotape, please don't read any further.
Ana Lucia (Michelle Rodriguez), the tough and vengeful ex-police officer, was felled by a bullet fired by, of all people, Michael (Harold Perrineau), who returned from an unsuccessful effort to free his kidnapped son, Walt.
"I'm sorry," Michael said, then coolly fired at her. Surprised by another castaway, Libby (Cynthia Watros), Michael shot her as well, then wounded himself.
Ana Lucia may be a goner but we learn that Michael survives. Libby's fate was unclear.
The shootings came as Jack (Matthew Fox) and Locke (Terry O'Quinn), acting on information provided by Michael about the island's mysterious and dangerous "others," prepared to stage an attack and rescue Walt.
The episode also included a tryst between Ana Lucia and Sawyer (Josh Holloway), but it turned out she seduced him just to get his handgun -- which ended up being the weapon Michael used against her.
The apparent death of Ana Lucia was reinforced by comments from two of the show's executive producers to TVGuide.com. The decision to make the character a short-timer was reached early and was unrelated to Rodriguez's drunken-driving case in Hawaii, where the series is filmed, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse said.
"A lot of this is going to sound like spin, so all we can give you is our word that this is exactly what happened," Lindelof told TVGuide.com. When Rodriguez auditioned for the role she made it clear she was "sort of a nomadic spirit" and would commit to a limited run, he said.
As befitting the convoluted "Lost," however, there was more to the story.
Another issue was that Watros was arrested for allegedly driving under the influence on the same December night as Rodriguez, but separately.
Rodriguez, 27, was sentenced to jail time and fined $500 after she pleaded guilty last month, serving about 65 hours in an Oahu correctional facility. Watros, 37, was fined and had her license suspended for 90 days after pleading guilty to drunken driving in January.
Lindelof told TVGuide.com that he and Cuse knew that it might seem they were trying to make a point rather than advance the story as intended.
"It's going to look like this is the 'Lost' producers' attempt to say, 'Don't drive drunk!' " Lindelof said.
But they decided not to alter the plot line because everything that follows this season "all sort of falls from this event," said Cuse.

I have to wonder... did the others get to Michael, and make him see that their way of thinking... or was he told to get "Henry" free, and they would let him see his son?
:::>^..^<::: ~*~The Journey is more important than the end or the start~*~ :::>^..^<:::
I'm sure that he is now one of the Others, but he didn't set Henry free. Henry said that someone would be coming to kill him for failure, and Michael is the best choice because he could get close without raising the alarm. He killed Ana Lucia because she killed two other Others. I hope that Libby makes it, but I don't think she will.
I read that Ana Lucia would die at some point, but I did NOT see THIS coming
"Man is a marvelous curiosity ... he thinks he is the Creator's pet ... he even believes the Creator loves him; has a passion for him; sits up nights to admire him; yes and watch over him and keep him out of trouble. He prays to him and thinks He listens. Isn't it a quaint idea." Mark Twain
maybe the others really wanted ana lucia dead. i mean, henry tried to attack ana lucia when he didn't try to attack anyone else.
fishy.
i must say, on the bright side, when hurley and libby walk onto the "romantic" beach and jin is gutting a fish ... that made me laugh.
used to be one of the rotten ones and he liked you for that
now you're all gone got your makeup on and you're not coming back
