Tonight’s Lost
ABC’s ‘Lost‘ is possibly the best show on primetime television. It is about the survivors of a plane crash on a mysterious tropical island. Besides each episode having a main storyline, there are also subtle clues hinting at what exactly is going on in the storyline.

In the episode before tonight’s (something like three weeks ago), Michael stumbled back to rejoin the group after leaving to look for his son. In tonight’s episode, he gave a brief look at what actually happened to him. This will be followed up in later episodes but another event occurred that will change life on the island even more.
The man held inside the hatch attempts to kill Ana-Lucia so she is seeking revenge. After a pretty steamy scene with Sawyer, Ana-Lucia manages to steal his pistol without him realizing it. Ana-Lucia heads back to the hatch to finish off the man formerly known as Henry Gale only to find she can’t pull the trigger.
Michael comes over to see what is going on and Ana-Lucia asks him to shoot Henry. Michael asks for the combination to the locker and then shoots Ana-Lucia in the chest (killing her as far as I know). Then Libby walks in and Michael pumps a few rounds into her. He finally goes over, opens the locker and turns the gun around to shoot himself in the arm.
I am not one of the crazy hardcore lost fans who screencaps all of the ‘important’ things that everybody misses but I do have an amateur-ish (and probably very obvious) theory. Michael is attempting to frame Henry Gale. If I recall correctly, when he first opened the locker he had no idea if Henry had been tied up. When he noticed that he wasn’t he took the opportunity to frame him for the murder of two innocent people.
