We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

That would not only be funny, but very interesting. Walt could then take over as creepy possible big bad, and I would call him "The Annointed One".

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

That would not only be funny, but very interesting. Walt could then take over as creepy possible big bad, and I would call him "The Annointed One".

I'm fearful for Walt (creepy though he is, I kinda like him) for the very reason the "Annoying One" got dusted - off-season is going to bring a LOT of changes to the actor, and unless they are advancing the time then as well, it's going to be very hard to keep him around without "magical island aging" or something and be believable (not that I'd especially care for that option either).

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Hmmm...Yeah. That would be a problem. But it's going to be a problem with the character (who seems to be being set up as significant, in any case), whatever non-dead (including undead) path they take.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

No way they're killing Locke. He's their best narrative device.

Killing Jack would be bold and really interesting. That would be my choice. But I'm smelling foilers. They haven't shown that kind of boldness yet, and have prefered the kill fake out.

"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

Frankly, I think killing Jack (or Kate or Charlie) would run them into big problems with the network suits that have spent millions of dollars advertising the show with those three actors' faces featured prominently. Either a Locke or Jack death would probably have the biggest impact in-show, but I doubt either is in the works.

What is even happening?

Wrongda's idea of big (size aside) doesn't hold much water, for me. I think she called Tara's death the "Big Scooby Death." Maybe I'm just too pedantic (no, really) but Tara's death, as heartbreaking as it was, was not a big "Scooby" death in my Sunnydale.

Our wings are not tired.

I would only define "big" as one of the core 14. Locke's death would have more of an impact on the show IMO than Jack, but I think both of them are safe.

Boone and Claire seem to have the biggest targets on their chests.

Boone could off Shannon. That could be defined as betrayal.

eta: or Shannon could take out Boone for that matter.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Hell, I'd take out Boone, if someone would give me the chance.

"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

Sign me up too. Particularly if I can do it in a way that would be extra-embarrassing to Somerhalder, like having Boone run afoul of a trap made with curare-dipped vibrators or somesuch.

Serial:

Fury apparently said that the actor being killed off was one who had good reason to be back stateside. The Good Morning America interview today said that only one of the actors commutes back and forth to the mainland, with the rest living in Hawaii with family. While they didn't name names on that show, Naveen lives in Los Angeles with Barbara Hershey. And the upcoming Sayid episode is titled "Greater Good."
