I thought it might be fun to speculate on who'll be the next character to follow Boone, Shannon, Ana Lucia, and Libby and join the ranks of the dearly departed. Especially since word on the street has it that a major player will kick the bucket before this opening run of six episodes ends.
No spoilers (or trolling for spoilers) allowed, of course--just your best guesses and the reason why you think said character is toast.
And, to sweeten the pot, whoever does pick the right character will get a pretty picture of someone of their choosing posted on the main board; in the name of fairness I'll allow multiple wins, but only if each person presents a separate rationale as to why they think the character's days are numbered. For example, say it's Sawyer who gets killed off: if Rachael was the one who picked Sawyer first and then Pixi came along later and happened to agree with her, as long as Pixi produced a reason she thought Sawyer was gonna die that was different than Rachael's I'd post pictures for both ladies.
Fair enough? Then let the game begin...

Claire's baby, Aaron.REASON: It would be all heartwrenching and dramatic, without really "costing" the current plotline much. Except I feel bad to pick a baby. And I'm not sure they'd have the nerve to kill off a baby. So, I'm going to pick a second pick also . . . Rose's husband, what's-his-face (I am having a senior moment, here . . .). REASON: He just seems disposable to me, so easy kill for some drama as needed.

(but I cheated and checked which just goes to show that they could have a heartrendering moment for Rose without us missing Bernard too much) leftylady

Okay, I'll bite.
I'm guessing it'll be Kate, because she's about as major a character as they get.
There has been a lot of attention paid to Kate lately, which is always a bad sign - in my experience, the writers tend to give lots of good lines to the person they're going to write off the show. Repressed guilt, probably.
So, Kate and Sawyer will try to escape from the Others, and she'll get shot in the attempt. Sawyer will blame himself, although he'd never admit it to anyone, and Kate's death will create even more tension between Sawyer and Jack.
I'm guessing it won't be Sawyer because he already got shot and almost died, and using him again would be just too easy. Which means nobody would expect it... Huh.

I am confused about something - I came to this thread by clicking on it from the post notice on the main page, if you know what I mean. The little thing that shows that Anne had just posted on "The Big Island in the Sky."
But when I go to "Lost Discoveries" I can't actually find this thread. Where the heck is it?

Wasn't stickied, but everything else was, so it was dead last on Page 3. Will go start unstickying things now.

I'm going to go with Desmond. In fact, he might already be dead.

Hmm. This discussion made me start thinking about maybe Rose is the one. Like her cancer or whatever isn't really gone, she just thought it was.

Is it just Losties or regular characters? Because I think the X-Rays are Ben's (he's around 40, right?) so it's possible he could keel over at some point.

Hmmmm. I'm tempted to think they'd off a major or close to major character. Because that is so much more shocking and wow as a storyline. Maybe Claire? Like, the Others come to steal the baby and she dies trying to prevent it? Or a Tailie - like Bernard, like Spring suggested, because it would be so sad for Rose? It could be one of the 2 groups of 3 that are away from the group (Sayid, Sun, Jin or Kate, Jack, Sawyer), and would make sense because both groups are in the most obvious danger. Which makes me think it won't be either of those 2 groups - too easy. It would be really really dramatic to kill off someone like Hurley or Locke or Mr Eko, but I think they have some kind of "ultimate" arc they are going to be used for, so I think they might be safe. But then again, it would be really really dramatic for one of them to die - what happens to the island mojo then? If it's Sawyer or Sayid I will be very very very sad. ;D

He seems to be getting close to a revelation. But they wouldn't dare, would they? Unless he gets absorbed by the island and is able to pop up now and again as a vision, I can't see it happening.

The table he was trussed up on looked like an xray machine table. Struck me odd at the time. ETA: Probably should move this to the "Everyman" thread. There's no way they're going to kill off Sawyer.
