also with Slice on this one.

I seem to remember reading last year that Ecko was not going to be long for this show, that he would die before the end of last season. Obviously that part was wrong, but I definitley remember reading that he would be killed off at some point.

Agreed

"You're not going to believe who it is."

My guess is that they made this statement to make it sound like it'll be a big character, thus making us expect that. But it's probably a smaller, minor character so that we really won't expect it. A bit of reverse reverse psychology, if you will.

Haha it'll probably be Rose or something Or that new guy that was playing golf...I don't like this "trying to introduce new Losties" thing. No, just stick with the way it is now, please.

Just kidding.

-------------

But seriously...I'm gonna try to break this down and we'll see how good my logic is.

It won't be Sawyer, as mentioned originally.
It won't be Kate, she has an episode coming up.
Probably won't be Locke, his story isn't finished yet.
Probably won't be Desmond, we still know nothing about him (then again we knew nothing about Libby, either. I still say he's safe for now).
Probably won't be Hurley, he's too likeable and good for ratings.
Probably won't be Jack, since he's the "leader". Although...his story-arc is finished (presumably), so I'm not sure. I can't see him dying though. Well...we'll come back to him.

Maybe Sun/Jin/Sayid, one of them? Since Sun shot one of the Others...but, I don't think the Others are out for revenge (except that Danny guy). So I think it's safe to say all three of them are safe as well.

That leaves us with Charlie, Claire, Ben, Juliet, and Eko.

Probably not going to be Juliet, she seems to be too pivotal to the Others' story.
Probably not going to be Claire, she's too unimportant anyway to matter if she dies.

That leaves Charlie, Ben, and Eko.

They'll keep Charlie just b/c they don't have a reason to get rid of him.

Ben or Eko...and possibly Jack.

(1) Eko's already half-dead from the polar bear. He could just die from all the damage to his body.
(2) I believe Ben is the 40-year-old man with a tumor. He could die in surgery. That is, if that's him, and if he gets operated on.
(3) Jack could be killed just as a shocker. I'm not sure how he would die, I don't think they have anything against him and their observation of him isn't complete. So now that I think about it again, I'm gonna say it isn't Jack.

It's between Ben and Eko, but going on the statement "You won't believe who it is", I'm gonna go with BEN on this one. Eko seems too obvious, and it would be a huge shocker if the Others' leader died.

das.

I believe the episode next week is Eko-centric. So my guess is they will wrap up his storyline and then kill him off, like they did with Shannon and Ana Lucia.

grrrrrr...if it is him another great character wasted (I refer to Ana Lucia not Libby...although she had some potential too)

? --are they just going to kill off all the tailies? and what ever happened to the one tailee that the Others captured last season when the tailees were making the trek to the beach? Have we seen her at the Others' complex?

I thought this last episode was supposed to make us think that perhaps she was gotten by a polar bear.

Was there some shot of her body in the polar bear's cave that I missed???

No, it was just something that I inferred. Not necessarily what the directer was trying to imply, though.

Cindy! I remember her. I wish she'd been like...an actual character on the show, she seemed interesting.

das.

Ausiello today gives a further hint as to who dies.

http://www.tvguide.com/News-Views/Columnists/Ask-Ausiello/default.aspx

"Question: Consider me an Aushole. Now please give me a hint as to who bites the dust on Lost tonight. Not an asterisk hint either; they drive me crazy.— Eva
Ausiello: This person is not an Other. Or female. "

Incidentally, he also gives us this:

"Question: Did Sun kill Jae on Lost?— Troy
Ausiello: No. In their latest Lost podcast, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse confirmed that Sun's boy-on-the-side did in fact commit suicide. (Pay up, Dan Manu.) Damon and Carlton also teased that widower Pickett "might" seek some vengeance on Sun for killing Trixie, er, Colleen, and that Episode 10 is a Hurley flashback."

I just read this in the on-line version of US Today.

http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2006-10-31-santoro-lost_x.htm

The article was really about the new Lostie Rodrigo Santoro, but has this very interesting paragraph:

"Santoro and Sanchez made their debut two weeks ago as never-before-seen crash survivors. They have a bit more to do tonight on a treacherous trek through the jungle that will leave someone dead."

Now this does not sound at all like Eko is the one who will die. Sounds like it is one of the men on the trek. Charlie? Sayid? Locke?

Interesting statement...as you are right, it does make one think a trekker dies. I wonder how accurate the article is, though.

As much as I think Eko is our dead guy, I find myself putting Charlie as a close second. His story line is essentially over and I can see him going with Locke on the trek. *crosses fingers it's Charlie*

Ooooo! Please, please, PLEASE let it be Charlie.

Die, Charlie. DIE!!!!
