I was thinking, now that Boone and Shannon are both dead, we can't see them in flashbacks... or can we?
I've made a list of possibilities of how they could come back:

1. More plane flashbacks (we know that there had to have been more stuff happening before they crashed, so why not throw them in?)

2. Boone ran a wedding business. Jack got married. Hmmm....

3. One of the tail end survivors could have known Boone or Shannon in the past (we may even see them talking to each other in some plane flashbacks about the tailend)

4. Chance encounters (walking past someone, bumping into someone etc. Although I doubt they'd come back as a guest star just to bump into someone)

So, what do you think? Are any of these possible? Do you guys have any ideas of your own? One thing's for sure, we need more Boone and Shannon!

I don't know about Boone in flashbacks, but we can certainly have Shannon in any/all of Sayid's! (preferably all, but I'm willing to take whatever TPTB give us)

How are we going to have Shannon in all of Sayid's FBs if they are about his past before he met Shannon, before the plane crash?

I'm all down for the wedding thing. Then again, if Jack remembers Desmond, you'd think he'd remember somebody like Boone... unless it was his wife who handled everything.

Hmm!

We still don't know a lot about the plane crash, so I'm pretty sure we'll see more of it at some point...

They'll do flashbacks only from their time on the island!

And I said any/all - doesn't mean she has to be in all of them - just some.

Hmm!

Exactly! His wife could have handled everything with Boone. But then again, it's Jack's flashback, so I guess he'd have to be in it. I guess we'll see.

They will? I've never heard about that...

One can always dream. And I seem to remember reading something about Maggie signing a contract to do the season finale.

Hope it's true.

She probably signed it to do some plane flashbacks in the finale.

I don't remember specifically, but.... wasn't there a case, in at least one episode last year, where we saw events in a character's flashback that he/she wasn't present for/didn't participate in?

I don't remember that. Wouldn't the character have to be there in order to have the flashback?

Only if you assume that what we're witnessing in the flashback, is actually the person REMEMBERING the events. On the contrary, the flashbacks could be from a traditional 'third person omniscient' viewpoint (like the events on the island), and the creators could just be choosing this particular moment to show us these events. I view it as a species of 'non-linear' storytelling, or whatever you would want to call it, as opposed to an actual situation where, each time we have a flashback, the character in question is actually supposed to be actively remembering the events that we're seeing.

For instance.... I can't remember, but in the episode 'Special' last year.... was that supposed to be a Walt/Michael hybrid show (i.e., featuring flashbacks from both characters, sort of like '...And Found')? Was Walt supposed to be actually remembering the incident with the bird, when we saw that flashback? Or was it something the creators simply chose that particular moment to show us? Because Michael certainly doesn't know about it....

They could only have Jack talk to Boone on the phone, but might meet his mother. And another flashback to the wedding would allow the show to do another flashback set in Hawaii.

Okay, here's a weird thing - Sarah was about to get married before her crash, and she crashed into the man married to the "Martha Stewart of Weddings" (though she might have started in the wedding business after her husband's death). Could there be a connection - could Boone's mom have set up Sarah to kill Adam Rutherford on the way to her dress fitting? Probably not, but I wouldn't put anything past her...

Would Sarah want her wedding conducted by the company run by the widow of the guy she hit and Jack didn't save? And would Boone's mom want her company to run the wedding for the woman who hit her husband's car and the doctor who failed to save his life?

My head hurts.

LOL!! It's okay North I had to reread a few time and my head hurts *passes tylenol and water to North*

I don't know about setting Sarah up...but maybe Sabrina rigged Adam's car so he would wreck. She certainly seemed the gold digger type; at least she was selfish and wouldn't share the money with Shannon. We don't know yet who was at fault in the wreck...and I have even seen speculation that Adam and Sarah were in the same car.

See above...maybe she did it gratis for Jack and Sarah in an attempt to appease them so they wouldn't sue (if Adam caused the wreck).

Hmm!

all right. new theory. JACK'S WIFE HAD AN AFFAIR WITH BOONE. Jack and Sarah's marriage broke up when he learned that she had an affair with a 21-year-old rich pretty-boy lifeguard.

KIDDING.

But, on a more serious note, I should point out that Boone did not yet work for his mother when Sarah was in the car accident (since he announced that he was moving to LA later in Shannon's flashback). Don't know how soon after that Jack's marriage was, but there's a chance he wouldn't have been in the picture.

Then there is a remote possibility that Shannon could walk back into camp with no memory of anything past chasing the dog into the jungle and simply report that she woke up somewhere and must have escaped from the others....
Which sets up another whole issue....

I am speculating that maybe the Island brings back certain people.

You mean: Dig herself out of her grave and move back to the camp with no memory? Yeah i can so see that happen... and Locke got abdcuted by aliens and is now pregnant with twins called Fetch and Hatch...

Nah, seriously... the exact same theory floated around shortly after what-did-not-happen to Boone (this is me being in denial) and I just don't get how ppl can seriously can come up with something like that. It just doesn't make any sense to me, sorry.

:phone1:Hey guys did you hear the rumor about Boone and Sarah!?:wink3:

I love this idea. During making wedding plans , Sarah hooks up with Boone!! I wonder if Kates past "love" could have gone to Med school with Jack. Kates Father fought in the Korean War...may be he is connected to Jin or Sun somehow! Since Lockes' Dad is pretty much a con-man...I wonder if he is connected to Sawyer? Hmmmm.....now my head hurts.

Clearly Locke's dad is really Alvar Hanso.... he came to America, underwent extensive vocal training to lose his Danish accent, and then set about fathering a whole mess of illegitimate little rascals to be used as organ fodder later on.... he probably also conned 1st season Jack out of his balls....

Id love to see more of Shannon and Boone although it looks doubtful unless we get plane flashbacks

Some more crash/airport flashbacks are probably coming up in the season finale (that's pure speculation on my part, nothing spoilery), so I'm sure we'll see Boone and Shannon again in those....

WOW. Jack and Tom... WOW. Being a Kate nerd, I got chiils thinking about a further connection like that. WOW, that'd be so intense (:P). Did Jack live in LA? Because Tom's from Iowa, so unless he attended Med School elsewhere...

Thanks for bringing up Sam Austen (Kate's "dad") as well- I'd never thought of that. What doesn't make sense to me is that he was there around her birth, which was over twenty years after the Korean War... why was he there?!

Sarah-Boone is interesting, but I think I'm sticking with Sarah-Desmond (in The Hunting Party, she was off to the gym to train; I figure it'd be a neat connection)

Locke's dad is fishier than he appears to be. I have to figure this out... Perhaps a cod?

...Okay, that was lame, I know. But seriously, people - 'sup with him?

2. Boone ran a wedding business. Jack got married. Hmmm....

Oooh I like that idea!!

Also, Shannon was married at some point wasn't she? Wonder who that could have been too......!!!

I suppose it's just a case of if the writers want to bring them back in and if the actors want to come back.

I'm crossing everything that it happens at some point. They must be able to see that so mnay fans are not happy that both of them have gone.

xxxx

Whatever the case. The only likely way we'll see them again is in someone else's flashback. It's sad, isn't it? But I do hope that it is the case because I want to know more about them.
