I remember hearing rumors about it back before the season started, but no specifics on who it was going to be.

Gotta think Shannon, or a random redshirt. I can't imagine Kate is going, and I doubt Claire or Sun. At any rate, bring it on.

The murderer we know? Possible: Locke, Jin, Sawyer, Charlie Unlikely: Jack, Michael, Sayid, Hurley

Of course, the killer could be a woman. And either the victim or killer could be new cast.

I'm feeling rather bloodthirsty though because my first thought was that it was about time they started killing each other off.

As someone who missed a big chunk of last season, tell me please, is Claire that important to the story?

It seems to me her death would be nice and painful to Charlie, and extra tragic because of the baby (and the baby's dependence on her has just been hinted at with Charlie asking for the peanut butter for the breast feeding mother).

Yeah, I don't think they'd be brave enough to have Jack kill anyone.

Maximum HSQ would be Claire or Charlie doing the killing, I think. Or maybe Shannon.

She was fairly important last season. She was kidnapped. Her baby was stolen. Claire also was quite important to Charlie's storylines.

Charlie would make some sense because of him killing Ethan. A certain logic in that.

eta: He certainly would kill to protect the baby.

He certainly would kill to protect the baby.

The tone seems to be more of a cold-blooded, no mitigating factors kind of a killing. Killing to protect a child wouldn't be particularly shocking.

Also, I'm not normally one to dictate what I want to happen in a show, but if Rose or Bernard kicks it I WILL NOT BE WATCHING OF THE SHOW ANYMORE.

Yeah, that's just a lot of big talk, but I'd definitely grumble.

Kate is actually the only woman I can't imagine being killed off. Claire or Sun seem like pretty good targets.

I hope it doesn't refer to Girlfight chick whose name I disremember. She's too new for me to give a damn about.

I was wondering, actually, if Bernard might snap and kill Rose.

(Yeah, that's fucked up -- and based in nothing but my own craxy brain -- but I blame Joss for making me wonder those things, god bless him.)

I doubt they'd kill Sun -- they liked the actress enough to create the character just to have her on the show, so they'll probably want her around for a while.

Claire's the obvious choice, except that she's already been kidnapped once.

I'd miss Kate least, but she's the closest thing the show has to a female lead, so it probably won't be her.

Shannon, nobody would miss. On the one hand, this makes her easy to kill, 'cause, no need to replace, but on the other hand, why bother if the audience won't care?
