shannon is 20. she isn't a perfect person. she can occasionally be selfish or annoying. she can be rude. she can make bad decisions. but she doesn't deserve to be called "a manipulative little bitch" or "useless" by someone who claims to love her, who claims to be looking out for her well being. she's only 20. not even old enough to legally drink yet, and here is boone trying to control who she talks to to "protect her" after he was willing to sleep with her while she was heavily intoxicated. i cannot hate shannon for being a flawed person without seeing how unhealthy being around boone is for her.

biggest lie lost ever told us is that kate and juliet weren't at least attracted to each other. i'm supposed to believe they spent an entire day handcuffed to each other and not one of them felt the urge to kiss??? like lets be fucking for real
