The amount of resolution Jin got makes me suspect he's the Marked Man on the raft, sadly.

Noooooooooo! We cannot lose the pretty! The pretty pretty Jin! My kittens are on Sawyer, to die heroically, possibly saving Walt.

If JJ kill off Jin, I'm gonna cry. And throw things. And curse. Much as I like him, if someone had to die on the raft, I'd rather it be Michael. ('Cause Walt and Sawyer? So not going anywhere.)

I am just itching for Shannon to get the big stompy foot of death.

Loved Jin & Sun. They were excellent. I have really enjoyed where they've taken Jin, down to his unlikely alliance with Wossname on building the ship. Also, that he listens to swaths of English and replies, with all seriousness, in Korean.

I cannot believe nobody has yet mentioned that there is a 1950s movie out there called Bad Day at Black Rock. I think of that title whenever I am having a bad day. Which is what I expect next week to involve.

Huh, I only caught part of the bit about someone losing an arm (or was it hand). Was that in relation to the black rock? If so, that's gotta be a reference to the movie.

I'd put a moderate bet on Arzt being dead, if only so the writers can have one of the characters proclaim that "Art is dead".

I really don't think they're up for killing another regular.

If tail-section survivors turn up (I'm just saying you don't hire Michelle Rodriguez just for a tequila scene, I don't care how much Jose Cuervo is paying you), I think "the others" will kill the whole bally lot of them. Sorry, Rose.

as long as you're just saying.

My mom thought the same thing -- that the show is tight enough in terms of introducing new elements/people that they wouldn't introduce another passenger in a flashback and not be intending to use her later.

I was thinking she was in the scene w/Jack just to humanize the people who got sucked out the back of the plane and died, but mom reminded me that Rose insisted that her husband was alive, plus there was the person on the other end of the radio who told Boone that *they* were the survivors of the flight. If that's true, then I wouldn't be surprised to see Michelle Rodriguez turn up.

I really want the other survivors (if in fact they exist; that isn't a spoiler) to be loafing about in a Club Med type situation, with cabana boys and mai tais.

Well, if there are tail section survivors (which I suppose we can guess from Boone's plane transmission) then there has to be at least one more downed plane on the island.

Which makes for interesting possibilities in Season 2.

Jin made up with Sun. Therefore he's the likely goner.

The hatch contains the last chapter to the the seventh (and final) "Harry Potter" book. (Hey, it makes as much sense as any of my other theories.)
