If Jessica's is a foiler, I'm going to be mad that the writers are wasting that kind of quality on false storylines rather than putting it onscreen where it belongs.

Our wings are not tired.
If they did go another way at least the foil was fun to consider.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Lost Speculation:
hmm. I wonder if Hurley is gonna kill Locke this season. Someone surprising kills someone according to the spoilers and "the action will be understandable."
Maybe Charlie kills Ethan?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think Charlie killing Ethan is too understandable to be surprising.

Unless E!'s Kristen has a crack-induced view of how much affection viewers have for Kate or Jack, I think the "love to pieces" part of the spoiler indicates the killing will have to be performed by Charlie, Hurley, or Claire. My wish list includes Claire snapping out of her shocked victimized state to club Ethan (or whoever) to death unexpectedly.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
ita, I think the surprise is that the character kills someone at all.

E!'s Kristen
I really wish she was still Wanda.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But I think Charlie is Clare-fixated enough that killing anyone other than Ethan would be surprising. Killing him, NSM. If he killed someone else standing between him (at least in his mind) and Clare (or even Ethan), then I'd be both surprised and understanding.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
What about if Walt kills Ethan?
