Shannon was pretty worthless of a character. especially since she was borderline incestuous... so yeah.. not a biggie she died. ( again some characters HAve to die ) Libby was perfect. As much as i think she is hot and i want hurley to have slammed it with her twice... it wasnt possible becuase HURLEY HAS A DIFFERENT path to walk. He has a different obstacle than , "getting a girl". He needs his confidence and to know that his is the creator of his own luck, not a bringer of bad luck. Having libby alive wouldnt really help hurley attain this as he would be mr puppy dog to her instead.... now he has one less distraction.. AND BOY DOES SHE KNOW HOW TO DISTRACT! Ecko was never going to be the main character. His story is powerful but not powerful enough to cary past a season or so...

Not even reality shows are reality shows. That lame survivor show is dramafied by the editors and those dealing with the footage. " ooh look richard hatch is gay and he had an argument with janet" lets put that in so people either love or hat Richard...
No show is ever actually reality, becuase reality is boring. no one wants to watch people go home and watch the tv. Thats what happened most of the time on "the real world" when MTV wasnt making them do actiivities...
but you are right about scientific possibility.
Matrix style manipulation, currently possible... ( though found in the form of hard ccore religions)
time travel, ( quantum mechanics explains this in a different way)
dreams, ( had one last night... it ws fun. i had a red wagon!)
flashbacks, (Completely proven occurences in todays world. if your brain wanted to convince your body and conciousness that you were somewhere esle or experienceing something you already have. it could. w e just dont know how to tap into that, thats why it often happens to those recovering from BIG time drugs... not grass and alc.)
eutopian societies, ( well thats subjective becuase what george bush thinks of as a eutopian soceity is not what the rest of us think)
brainwashing, see above--- matrix style manipulation
secret research gone wild...... Uh... they are cloning things as we speak...
I am saying all this becuase it is not outside of the realm of possibility and i like where you been going frog~!
