LOST Spoilers - The ODI

Hey Losties,
Unfortunately, it is that time of year again and I personally hate posting things like this, but it is inevitable with this show. Yup, that is right once again death will be a part of season 5 and we have the short list of who will die in the first 5 episodes of the season.

Well our good friend DarkUFO has posted a poll with 8 potential characters that could meet with death in the first 5 episodes of season 5 and I am not happy with this list at all. I think this is the first time I can say that I will be quite angry if ANY of these characters were to leave the show.

Of course, someone dying does not mean they will leave the show, but that does mean we will see less of them and honestly I want to see more of EACH of these characters.

Here is my take on each and note the odds I have placed next to each name:

Juliet (75 to 1)- Yes, I know since Juliet was introduced many fans have disliked her character, but she is a great actress and added a great new element of the show when she was introduced in Season 3. I have always expected her to die before the end of the show, but I can not see it happening before she meets Jack again and she is now one of the top two beachies along with Sawyer. BTW she is beautiful and the show needs that beauty on the beach.

Rose (3 to 1) - Is it possible that the lovably and VERY popular Rose will be the one to die this season?? I would hate to see this happen, because she is one of the original cast members that seemed to really grow on fans so much that we were able to get a backstory of her and everyone's favorite dentist Bernard. Unfortunately I really feel based on the list, Rose could be the character that will actually be the one to die. WHY!? Yes, she is hardly shown as is, but how does it move the story forward you ask?? Well maybe with the island "moving" is it possible that the "healing" qualities change as well?? Plus, I remember reading something about some conflicting schedules with L. Scott Caldwell's schedule.

Sawyer (100 to 1) - Once again here is another character that I really like and actually do expect to die before the series ends, but now is NOT his time. There is no way the writers kill off Sawyer before meeting Kate again and I can not see how that would happen in the first 5 episodes. So fangirls can relax a little, but just imagine if they did kill him..!?

Miles (20 to 1) - Initially I was not really down with this character. However, as Season 4 continued, his character really grew on me and by the time the season ended I loved Miles and his humor. Also, I always felt that each of the freighties served some purpose and there was a reason why they were on the island in the first place. We already know Faraday's Constant is Desmond and will be a big part of Season 5. So with Miles' ability to hear the dead, I always felt his character would be the key to open the door to the Whispers and maybe solve the mystery of Jacob. Plus, he could maybe be able to explain how other characters see the dead on the island.

Charlotte (6 to 1) - Once again another member of the freighter that I feel has a purpose and well we learned part of that purpose in the Season 4 finale. Charlotte is looking for her birthplace. Is that a good enough story to keep he on the show, probably not, but lets not forget her discovery of the Polar Bear skeleton in Tunisia and well with ben landing in Tunisia after turning the frozen donkey wheel, I have a feeling that Charlotte will be around a little longer than 5 episodes. BTW, like Juliet she is beautiful!! Not to mention we still have to have that Daniel Charlotte reunion.

Penny (2 to 1) - Oh god there is NOOOO way right!? How can the LOST producers be soooo cruel to Desmond!? The guy was stuck on the island for years only to finally get back with his long lost love at the end of Season 4. It would seem almost impossible that the writers would want to kill her in the first 5 episodes of season 5!? Right!? Well unfortunately the recent MAJOR spoilers about Desmond and Penny having a baby and her being in MAJOR pain during the birth does not bode well for Des and Pen. Honestly one of my favorite couples on the show is Desmond and Penny and I would hate to see the writers break them up again. However, Ben did promise to Widmore that he would get his revenge.

Richard (25 to 1) - No no no! The ageless Maybeline man is not going any where. How can this guy survive for 400 plus years and then die now!? How would this even fit the storyline. Him and Locke have to be a big part of the season. IDK, maybe he dies and Locke becomes the true leader of the Others and well Ghost Richard might help Locke in his mission. Heck, for all we know Richard might already be dead and we will see how he died. I guess that would explain how he is still alive after all these years.

Frank (15 to 1) - Boy, here is another actor I love in Jeff Fahey. Last year when the casting for all the Freighter Folk was announced, Fahey was the one I was MOST excited about. He is the lawnmower man and he has been awesome in the show so far. The writers have promised a big role for Lapidus this season so could they really accomplish that in the first 5 episodes!? Of all of the characters on the list, it seems like Lapidus has the smallest role to play in the over all storyline, but I always felt he would be the one to help the Oceanic 6 and Ben return to the island. After all he was the pilot that was able to fly to and from the island via that special bearing. So maybe they kill him so he can not fly back, but it would not make sense they would do that so early in the season.

So there you have it!! I can not see how any of these can really die, but if I had to pick it would be between Rose, Penny or Charlotte and I think I would have to vote for Penny purely based on the new spoilers.

Well please let us know what you think and make sure you check out DarkUFO to vote on the poll and join the fan discussion there.

Namaste.
