I'm sure alot of people will hate me for this, hell, I even hate me self a little, but I'm curious despite all that. As we know, life on the island is one wrought with danger; there are a million ways to die - pick one. With this new influx of characters, who all too often kick the bucket for dramatic effect (see seasons 1 through 3), I'm wondering who's next to be 'the sacrifice that the story demanded?'

Let it be known that I'm not anxious to have anyone die, and I find all of the Freighties stories to be intensely interesting. I don't want to lose any of those angles, but hey, someone's gotta go. *boos, hisses from the gallery* And it might not even be a Freightie... :(

So, take your pick. I've included the four new arrivals, and a few other long shots just to spice things up. Actually, you get two picks, the two most likely to bite the dust in Season 4.


*hangs head in shame*

Gotta go with Desmond and much as I don't want to. I can just see Des and Sayid arriving at the freighter only to find Charles Widmore waiting for Des. Here's how i see it playing out:

Widmore: Hello, Desmond.
Desmond: You Bastard where's Penny!
Widmore: I thought I told you to get LOST(pulls gun out shoots Desmonds)
Desmond: PENNY(with his last breath)

Okay, I feel guilty (hangs head in shame) but I voted for Charlotte. I know I'm evil :devil1: but something about her just annoys me and if someone has to die I'd rather it be her than Claire, Jin, Desmond or Juliet.

Good to see some people posting their reasons. I'd absolutely hate to see Desmond go, but hey, you never know with this show!
100%

No worries! It's just a silly poll. To be honest, Charlotte is my least favorite Freightie, but... I really wanna hear her anthropological Dharma knowledge. I'm sure if she dies though they'll get it out in time... :)

Thank you for that.

Jack Sawyer, that I am curious to know as well -- her anthropological knowledge of Dharma. But if she happens to die after she reveals her knowledge, I won't be too devestated ;) So I understand where you are coming from :)

P.S Mod's this is just my speculation no spoiler info was used to write this post :)

Juliet will go eventually if not this season...how much more are they going to do with her?

I think Claire just because in 'Eggtown' we saw that Kate has Aaron as 'her' son.

Claire, for the same reason as above, and Jin. I have a hunch that Sun and Jin might be the other two O6, and I think life on the outside could be dangerous for Jin. Although, I'm probably wrong about that. We'll see.

Of course, one of them is surely the person in the coffin, don't you think?

Interesting results so far...more votes would be great.

I voted Juliet. I 'm still not sure if I like her or not. I don't think she makes it off the island.

I voted for Frank but not because he's a drunk but because after they get "rescued" who needs a pilot? He'll have served his purpose.

I voted for Charlotte. I wouldn't mind Claire going either, but I just don't think they're going to kill her off. Although, after this last episode, I'm intrigued as to how Kate ends up with Aaron if Claire doesn't die. :shrug:
I really don't want anyone other than them to die.

I voted for Frank but not because he's a drunk but because after they get "rescued" who needs a pilot? He'll have served his purpose.

I hope Frank doesn't die. He's my favorite Freightie.

I voted Jin, even though I really like him. His death would be very sad, but at the same time interesting, now that Sun is pregnant. I could see him dying to help/save her and their baby.
Claire is a good candidate too, now that Kate is raising Aaron in the flashforward, but that would be just toooo sad!

I hope Frank doesn't die. He's my favorite Freightie.


But we've seen that TPTB don't care about that!! I like him too. I think he's the only one without an agenda harmful to our 815ers

Don't forget, I believe this poll is set up for two selections each, so do both! I think I actually forgot and did one. lol.

In my heart I would like it to be Miles. I just plain dont like the guy. He just seems mean and takes advantage of people. But being a fan of Lost, I know that my first impression will be proven wrong on a flashback. So I had to vote for Claire. I hope and pray it is not her. However, I cannot imagine anyother way she would let Aaron leave the island without her.

Wow, these results are not what I expected. Let's get more votes on here.

wow, people really think we're gonna see the end of Jin, huh? that's really sad!

i had to go with Miles (because the sooner we're rid of him, the better, in my opinion... he's really starting to drive me nuts), & Claire (because, as a few folks have said, why else would Aaron end up in Kate's care?) although I'd really prefer if it were the former rather than the latter...

wow, people really think we're gonna see the end of Jin, huh? that's really sad!

I really hope they don't kill Jin or Sun off. They have so much potential for doing something really interesting with them, so I hope they go there instead of killing off half of yet another of our favorite couples...ugh. Think of that. All they would have to do is kill Bernard and Kate, and then we can end the series in a few seasons with no one being a happy couple! Sounds great. :cool: I actually don't want them to kill Claire off either, but I'm not sure how else they will separate Aaron from her.

Anyway, I voted for Lapidus because they killed the pilot off in the Pilot episode giving the reason that there was a relief that someone who really knew what was going on and was competent at flying was there, and after introducing him, they killed him to be like "bwahaha anything can happen on LOST." :biggrin: So I think that they are going to somehow repeat that. Plus, he knows too much in the flashback on the phone and the people on the other end do NOT sound happy about that. I know another one of the Freighters dying immediately is a longshot, however, since Naomi just died.

I also voted for Desmond. I like Desmond, but I'm not as invested in him as I am in our original survivors. So if someone is going to go, and it is going to be sad, I would prefer Desmond go to Sun, Jin, Claire, et cetera.

This is really interesting. I'm shocked to see Jin in the lead. Actually, it seems to me that I've discovered, quite accidentally, a way to uncover spoiler (especially death-spoilers), through a poll. :frown: I can't help but think that the reason Jin has received so many votes has something to do with an there being an informed audience. This doesn't bode well for Jin.

I hope I'm wrong.

I can't stand Juliet so I hope it would be here so I would have to say it's gonna be Miles. He's really messing around with the wrong guy blackmailing Ben.

I voted Claire, well, because of the whole Kate/Aaron situation.

Frank, because he seems like a good guy and doesn't seem that interesting.

Desmond, just because I have a bad gut feeling.

and Jin because it would be too perfect if Jin and Sun got off the island together...
then again...Jin could just stay back by himself? But honestly what good would he do to the plot if he remained alive...that sounds a bit harsh but he only speaks a bit of English and what good would he do. :undecide:

I feel so cruel.

Dang, I didn't realize that you could vote for more than one before I voted so I only selected Claire. I had this discussion with people on another thread and we had mentioned Claire as a possibility before "Eggtown" aired and we thought Claire probably wouldn't die anytime soon because of Aaron and she would have to get Charlie's list/DS ring first. However, after Eggtown, and she doesn't even have Aaron anymore, Claire shot straight to the top for me.

If I could have voted for a second person, it would have been Juliet. Not that I hate her, actually, I really like her, the most of any female character on the show, but she just doesn't seem to have much story left, as we know of it. It's unfortunate too, since Juliet, along with Desmond are the 2 people on the Island that actually have the most reason to get back to the "Real" World.

Actually, I was kind of suprised that Sawyer wasn't listed as a choice. Not that I would have voted for him, but I know alot of ladies are worried that he may meet his end soon. This isn't based on any Spoiler info, just speculation.

Oh Im sure Sawyer will meet his end, I just went on the assumption that they would kill of their ratings grabber this season, only the fourth.

I voted for Jin and Claire, mainly because they are original characters and their deaths would be the most shocking. I think it is way too early for any of the freighties to die - they all have specific island-related purposes, and they can't die before they reveal to the audience what it is they know. I don't think it will be Desmond because he is too mythologically related, and his love-story with Penny is far from resolution. I don't think it will be Juliet because that would break my heart.

Jin and Claire both are options due to the tragic results that will have in their children's lives. That being said, I think we are probably being led away from Claire - I believe Kate having Aaron is a red herring for her death. As for Jin, he is ALWAYS on the death spec list, and has always made it. So, maybe not!!

J_S, I think the poll results also may be partially skewed because you didn't include all the possible candidates (no Sun, none of the known O6 who could be shown to die in a FF, no Locke, no Sawyer, no secondary characters like Penny, Alex, Danielle...) Did you max out in how many options you could use?

BTW, for those who know me from the spoiler boards - I have given up the majority of spoiler reading and know nothing (I promise) about potential death(s).

That's cuz I don't believe any of those people are going to die... ;) well, I was going to include Danielle, but, in the end kind of forgot about her. But yeah, Jack, Locke, Kate, Sawyer, Sayid, Hurley Ben & Sun I considered exempt, at least for now. My reasons are my own. As for Karl and Alex, they're a little to peripheral right now to cause any real impact, but I guess we'll see. Not only that, I think they might be a little too young to die on screen. Aren't they like 16? No one wants to see that...:eek:

Keep the votes coming...

then again...Jin could just stay back by himself? But honestly what good would he do to the plot if he remained alive...that sounds a bit harsh but he only speaks a bit of English and what good would he do. :undecide:

His English sounded like it was getting a lot better to me from the last episode! That was a pretty good conversation there with Sun.

It would be interesting if the island team was left with say--Sawyer, Jin, et cetera. They would be forced to deal with Locke and whatever other weird island-ness is going on. Characters who were kind of forced into a secondary or tertiary position would end up becoming leaders. I'm wondering if Hurley's con of Sawyer last season where he was like "all these people are gone, so now we want to look to you" isn't some sort of foreshadowing.

Forget plot considerations or impact or story line, I voted Miles based strictly on dislike of the character.

I voted for miles because i don't particularly like him..;and Claire because i'm not very optimistic for her future judging by the end of eggtown...but i really hope i'm wrong in her case!

I think for the death to be "shocking" it has to be someone we the viewers already have a relationship with. For that reason I think it has to be either a crash survivor or Desmond. IMO it could be any of Desmond, Claire or Jin... I don't have a stronger reason for picking one over the other, I just have a gut feeling that Claire may pop up in Aaron's future in spite of the events in Eggtown. I'd hate for it be be either Jin or Desmond, I really enjoy both characters, but for some reason I think Desmond might be the one to go, but I don't have any persuasive evidence, just guessing

Keep the votes coming...

My first choice is Juliet. I've never warmed to her character and have never trusted her either (I doubt I'll start any time soon, although I'm willing to be proved wrong). My second vote went to Miles. He's just waaay to angry, and what's with calling Hurley names already?!? I LOVED the grenade breakfast, at least that will keep him quiet for a bit ;)

Who knows, it could even happen this episode... *dun, dun, dun!*

Frank... the drunk always gets offed. Then again, this is Lost. ;)

Claire would be a really shocking death. I can see Jin dying, as well. They're fading into the background. I'm surprised that Juliet hasn't been killed, yet.

I didn't vote. I don't want ANYONE to die, and I can't figure out where the plot is going. (Other than Claire being in jeopardy, of course.)

But I really don't think it'll be Desmond. Why use the Odyssey reference at all unless he returns to his Penelope in the end?

Claire has to be such a favorite, Las Vegas would not even give us odds for her.

I voted for Miles, just cuz...and he's eating a "pineapple" right now.

Really, don't you all think that all 4 of the new 'red shirt' boat people will die?

I don't know why Jin would be such a popular choice...cuz he is not very much in the show anymore? His Dad-in-law would send people out to kill him after he comes back?

Wouldn't he make another perfect killer for Benry, like Sayid?

My guesses would be:

Frank - simply for the fact that he's the only one who can pilot the helicopter and that could complicate the return to the freighter. But then again - that sounds like a compelling reason for why he will remain alive, heh.

Jin - simply because his death might be very poignant and I'm not sure if they've developed a whole lot of more story for him.

I agree that it would be pointless to kill Desmond unless he fulfills the Odyssey story paralells, I think Charlotte, Miles and Daniel will be safe for a while, and as much as I would hate for it to happen - I wouldn't write it off that Juliet dies eventually (with the Romeo & Juliet paralel - maybe she'll commit suicide), but I don't see it happening soon.

It breaks my heart to say it but I think it's Frank.

He's credited as a "guest actor" and as Nikki said before her demise, "We all know what happens to guest actors."

Maybe I'm just in denial, I still think Jin has a lot more story. I feel Mr. Paik is connected to the corporate scum part of the mythology, and he has unresolved issues there. There is also the fact that his English has also dramatically improved, which would leave him in good stead to be one of the leaders on the island with many of our main characters off island in flashforwards.

After, "The Constant," though, I have revised my comment on Desmond. I think he is going to live. Maybe Juliet or Claire will go next instead.

Wow, Jin's still in the lead.

This makes me think of an interesting scenario. I'm not normally one to talk about spoilers but...
since the title of the next episode is Korean, I got to thinking about Jin and Sun. The writers love to surprise us, and right now we're still waiting on the last two O6 members, which we are told we'll know by Thursday. Jin and Sun seem like the obvious choice, but wouldn't it be interesting if someone unexpected takes Jin's place at the last second. I could see Jin dying romantically here.
