I think Charlie killing Ethan is too understandable to be surprising.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
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.

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?

Or maybe Vincent is the one who goes off his meds, and goes Cujo on all their asses.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Maybe Charlie kills Ethan?
Charlie kills Ethan at the end of Homecoming. It's surprising only because nobody expected him to be there with a gun at the time, and also because they thought that everyone understood and agreed with the plan to capture and question him.

What is even happening?
I'm avoiding the Lost spoilage, although I'm not sure why. I have a question, and am not sure where to ask it.
If a person of-potential-interest-to-Buffistas had been reportedly cast in a series that has not yet premiered, and there were now rumors that the person of-interest-to-Buffistas was now reportedly out of the series that still has not yet premiered, is that a safe topic for the non-spoiler threads?
I'm asking, because reportedly Alyson Hannigan is out of the new Jennifer Love Hewitt vehicle and has been replaced by Sara Gilbert. I asked about the rumor itself in spoilage lite, but now I've found independent confirmation, and wanted to mention it in the Buffy thread. Then I felt uncertain of the rules. It seems to me that it would be safe (spoiler-wise), but there's been other information that has seemed safe to me, and just hasn't been.
