More about the 11/8 episode:
These seem really interesting, then again they are from Kristin at E! but still.... quite intriguing.
11/08 - One character was not on that plane and Claire and Charlie are going to disappear, kidnapped, it seems by the character who was not on the plane. Sawyer’s backstory has a twist that just might be as good as Locke’s (and that’s saying something). Also, he and Kate have some heated interaction this week that ends in a kiss (but only because she’s basically forced to), and in a later episode, they stumble upon a waterfall that looks breathtakingly beautiful on the surface … but when they jump in, they find some disturbing plane wreckage, including the key to Kate’s story. Jack is going to get beaten to a bloody pulp. Source: Kristin on E!Online
For story reasons, I think Kate and Locke are essentially unkillable at this point. For meta reasons, I think Charlie, Jack, and Sun are likewise untouchable—the fans love Monaghan, the fans AND network execs love Fox, and the producers were wowed enough by Yunjin Kim to write a whole story arc around the character they created for her.
Actually, I could really see Locke getting killed.

Check out this Dark Horizons article - interview with Paul Dini. It is spoilerrific and actually cogent. :-)

There are two things that bug me about the DH article:
1) the persistent misspelling of "boar"
2) are the boars CGI or not?
I was about to post much the same thing, le n.
2) are the boars CGI or not?
They were in Walkabout. The pre-effects version of the scene when the boars are running around camp after getting into the fuselage was funny as hell. (Intercutting between the cast looking scared and empty shots of the forest with "FX MISSING: WILD BOAR RUNS PAST CAMERA" lower thirds.)
So the boar in "The Moth" was not CGI. That part of the article is definitely confusing.
So...
It was also said that the monster is sort of a reflection of yourself. The pilot saw it in horror and he was killed because he feared the monster. Locke saw the monster with true awe, therefore, he was able to survive his encounter.
The monster itself may not be revealed totally at any point in the series. It may be, as Paul described it, "a Loch Ness Monster kind of thing". Bits and pieces of the beast will be shown throughout the series but a full reveal could prove to be anti-climatic. Still the monster will be explained at some point in future seasons.
I think people will get pissed off as they did on Twin Peaks if this story is drawn out too long, or if it doesn't have some kind of satisfactory resolution. Not that Ze Monster needs to be killed or nullified, but they'll need something better than hand-wavey to justify it.
