+ I believe it is quite obvious by now...

[inferno]

...that Boone shall indeed be the one the one to stuff it.
Locke will be bustin' a nuclear cap on his sad ass soon, trust me.

You took the words right out of my mouth

lol meatloaf!

anyway, DITTO i think that he is the most expendable char. and will be killed off.

[Feldspar]

I think the fact that Boone is not a popular character will likely work to save him. I've gotten the impression that they'll be shooting for a death that will have an impact on the audience.

Lets face facts, if the offed Boone 3/4s of the people on this board would throw a party.

[LoStMyMiNd]

I still say it will be Michael

[RunLoganRun]

Bat out of Hell ! Anyway, I have said this before and will say it once again - They will not kill Michael off, since he is a minority character. Boone is possible, since he is a white male. But, my wager is on Jack or Sawyer. Boone needs many more beatings before they decide he is a goner.

[SawyersMuse]

Why does everyone assume that Boone will die ? How is Boone dying shocking to anyone? It sure wouldn't make me gasp pr cry, I'd laugh my a** off if Boone died even if his partner in crime may or may not be responsible for it.He's not well featured or well loved (and I mean Boone the character not Ian the actor). I haven't even seen Boone in forever. ANYONE could betray ANYONE and ANYONE can be trusted by ANYONE within the next 5 eps or however many is left..

[faketree]

If they kill Michael it will be very cliche because its always the black guy who's one of the first to die in movies and TV.

Why is that?

[lostaway]

I think it'll be Boone or Sayid...

[jaystao]

Charlie's off to LA la land. He has to redeem himself for killing Ethan and anyway his actor probably has 'offers'. This will be his last redeeming act, one final gamble to save his worthless hide with a good deed. Before this however he'll teach Hurley how to play the guitar and read music fairly quickly then He'll go out as a rock God should, in a blaze of glory. Hurley will later pick up his guitar and play an ode for him.

[LoStMyMiNd]

Well if they can't kill Michael off because he is a minority, then they can't kill Sayid either. However, just because a character is a minority doesn't mean squat about why he is getting killed or not.

[RobotMusic]

You can never say that someone is the expendable due to lack expandability. This show has so many twist and turns that Boone could end up far more important than any of us could ever think.
Plus Boone is cool!

[RogueWriter]

Yep, I bet Charlie's gonna get it. He'll sacrifice himself in order to save his lamby, or some such.

[ArcadiaJ]

I'd like Boone to be the one.

It occurred to me that Locke could be the one, though. His death would make an impact and shock the audience. He has been a kind of Christ character. He has counseled and helped people. He seems to have a holy attitude about him. So I think that he may sacrifice himself.

[Lost at sea]

Okay lets get a couple things straight.

1) They have already said Charlie isn't going to die so STOP wasting bandwith by saying that he is.

2) There are just as many minorities on the show as there are white guys 5/5. So Michael IS still on the chopping block.

3) Boone is the most hated character of all the survivors, why I really couldn't tell you, so killing him would accomplish nothing.

[oceanicair]

I think Jin will die. He's no longer with Sun, which makes it easier for her to move on with Michael and help raise Walt.

[anarane saralonde]

There is a thread on this already. Different thread name but the same topic ("who's going to die?") started by Mr. Block of Cheese. Maybe you can expand your theory more in that thread.....

[hppydppy1]

as i have said before, i think walt will die. that would shock everyone as being reported to do, being he is a child and what we thought was a major player. but maybe his spirit will go into vincent or locke and after his death, hellish things will break loose and yet, he may not really "die" in the spirit sense. or he will hook up with ethan, a dawn of the dead thing. i think it will be an accident. i think his dad will do the dirty deed. it is not charlie, as has been said. we were told it is not him.

[LoStMyMiNd]

Oh but it can't be Walt he is a minority.....(kidding)

[SawyersMuse]

3) Boone is the most hated character of all the survivors, why I really couldn't tell you, so killing him would accomplish nothing.

THANK YOU.THANK YOU.THANK YOU. Finally someone on the same page as I am!

[jaystao]

Oh no! A sudden moment of clarity hits me. Jin or Micheal will be the one to die. Why? The lost enemies/buddy syndrome. Jin and Micheal hate each other but because Jin is trying out some kind of self redemptive yin yang thing, he is helping Micheal build the boat. They will teach each other different slang words, share secrets/set backs/success, learn that they have a lot in common and basically become buddies. This was done in battle star Galactica and in Enemy Mine and countless other programs. They will promise to look after the others loved one if one of them dies. In the end one of them will sacrifice themselves to save the other.....

cliche but not necessarily a bad story if done right.

[LoStMyMiNd]

Nope its godda be Jin cuz they can't kill off any of the black guys, too cliche' according to Faketree

[Homer Noodleman]

I think it is going to be Michael too. Two reason, they can't keep building that raft over and over. Once he is gone the rest of the lay-about loons on the island will forget about it quick and the writers won't have to keep cooking up excuses to destroy it.

Secondly, and much more importantly (not to mention seriously), losing Michael will allow that little monster Walt to really go off the deep-end.

[RogueWriter]

Maybe they just need to keep bringing Ethan back, and killing him off..... that would make for an interesting twist...

[SawyersMuse]

That would be too much repetition (sp?) wouldn't it ?

[lacenaire]

THey can't kill Jack

Mathew Fox is the star of this show. Party of five lasted years thanks to him, come on. The Boone character is the most spendable, that actor has been in and out of almost any known series for the last few years. I say this time it won't be an exception.

Bye bye Boone :)

[OhioSteve1]

The writers like to talk about how they are so innovative. But they have not always backed up their boasts. When Ethan attacked the camp, he killed a character we never knew, a 100% redshirt. So I would not predict Jack or Sawyer simply because that would be a "radical" move. It may well be someone like Boone or Sun.

[jaystao]

Clair dies giving birth. Charlie volunteers to be babies new 'mother' (with Locke the daddy). Because he's such a screw up though (don't get me wrong I really like Charlie) he'll lose the baby to the 'others' and then go on and on and on and on about how guilty he feels.

This kinda reminds me when they would announce a main characters death in comic books. Don't worry they always come back after a dozen or so issues.

[RunLoganRun]

Actually, they can kill Jack - as someone has already posted that originally Jack was supposed to die in the two hour pilot episode. However, I must admit that I would love to see Charlie attempt to breast feed a new born baby. But seriously, Ethan will be back - at least in the form of a clone. I still think that Jack or Sawyer will be six feet under by season's end.

[jaystao]

Anyone ever watch the old British sci-fi series Blake Seven? Blake is the hero right up to the end of the second or first season. Then he abruptly dies (or goes missing) leaving leadership to his more 'darker' compatriot Avon. However he returns later at the shows finale and his former team mates can't decide whether he's good or bad and in the end Avon kills him (in fact everyone ends up dieing). Blake Sevens gung ho attitude to killing of main characters made it rather good. So perhaps the idea of the main hero dieing isn't so far fetched and may give it a certain sharper edge (any one could be next).

[Wynter Zera]

THey can't kill Jack

Never say never. JJ has made a point a number of times to tell us NO ONE is safe.

Personally, I think Boone is a decoy. Most folks are sooo sure it's Boone, that they've forgotten what JJ said about keeping the redshirts (while making it look like they will be the one to die) and killing off major characters instead. Everyone thinks Boone is the one to go. I'm thinking Locke might be the one to snuffith.

[gertie]

I think it's Locke, too.

No you don't swoon over him. And he's such an integral character. So, I'm swayed again. Just don't know.

I think Locke would shock.

[joepa15425]

it would be hard to kill off Locke. He's the "professor" of the island so to speak. Need food? Locke can get it. Need to track somebody? Locke can track. Need glue? Locke can render animal fat. We have bought in to the Locke can do anything premise and we aren't surprised by any of his resourceful skills. On the contrary we are intrigued so much by Locke we believe he's capable of anything. The writers need us to believe in these characters, their strengths and weaknesses. It sounds ludicrous to have Charlie rendering animal fat to make glue. With Locke, the writers need can provide whatever the survivors may need. I would think as the seasons go on a character like Locke with so much built in ingenuity would be a must have for a show about people marooned on an island.

Boone on the other hand is pretty much just a useless rube, eager to be more than he actually is. He'd be a perfect candidate to be killed off, then later reborn as the person he sees himself to be. He'd still be the same rube only as an "other" he'd possess powers that would turn him dark and villainous.

[LoStMyMiNd]

Who do we swoon over?

Sawyer and possibly Jack. Either one would be a shock.:(

[sylosa]

If it's supposed to shock us, I vote for Locke...
Just because he's the one how seems to know something more and will be able to give out some answers.
Imagine that... The one most people are betting on being the most important character of the show, is the first one to bite it.

[Grant King]

I'm not sure why Boone is so unpopular? He seems eager to work. He is trying to start over and get over Shannon. He is trying to learn from Locke. He seems to be growing up.
I hope I'm wrong,but I can see Sawyer going in a "blaze of glory", making some big sacrifice to save the others.

[soup]

Boone is like a fatal figure. He rushes to Shannon's rescue time and time again. She is his siren, his Scylla and Charybdis.
Shannon may prove to be more "powerful" than we think.
I agree that Boone is too obvious. Perhaps he leaves Locke to die>(don't want to be too spoilerish). Boone was "RELIEVED" that Shannon died in his hallucination, and he snored through the murder of the Redshirt. I have a hard time being sympathetic to him.

Soup!

[RunLoganRun]

Moving this thread back up top - as it appears that we have a winner in the death sweepstakes. Boone appears to be a goner by next week thanks to Locke. He fell off a cliff - yeah, that's the ticket. And - they killed off a white male just like I knew that they would.

[hppydppy1]

don't count your "others" before they "hatch". is boone really a lovable character that will blow our minds and make us sad if he dies? don't think so, even though i don't think boone is such a tragic figure. just gets caught in the middle of stuff. i think we will be thrown a loop.

[LoStMyMiNd]

Agreed, I don't think its Boone either. Its just too obvious based on tonight's episode. I think we are being made to expect it so we will be shocked when it turns out to be someone else.

[Hourman]

Charlie finds the heroin and OD's. (just kidding)

I also think Claire dies giving birth.

[Iorhael94]

It will definitely not be Charlie...per an article in "Rolling Stone"...Charlie (Dominic Monaghan) is much too popular so they have promised he will never die.

And I'm thinking as some others have said that Boone's death would be much too predictable...also, its too early...I suspect they are going to pull a shocker and have it be someone else at the end of the season.

[AnthonyE]

First of all, let me just say that i've been totally addicted to this board for the last month or so. This is my first post, so pleas be gentile with me if someone else has already posted this. Personally, I really don't think Boone will be the one to die...it's just way to predictable. My thoughts are that while Jack is attending to the critically wounded Boone, Locke is nowhere to be found. This pisses Shannon off, so she goes looking for Lock to tell him off for not being by Boone's side, and/or to find out what really happened to Boone. In the midst of this Locke is building something else to break open the hatch...Sayid follows Shannon through the woods to find Locke, but keeps his distance so she wont see him, (maybe she yells at him for being daddy like to her, by telling her the forrest is too dangerous). Just as she gets close to Locke he releases one of his medieval devices to break the hatch open (he doesn't see her there)...Sayid sees everything unfolding and shoves Shannon out of the way, and recieves the impact of Lockes midieval thingy.

[RunLoganRun]

Bumping up top for a second and final time. As I predicted many moons ago, the writers killed off a white male - safest route to go. As a side note, someone here said that killing Boone would not accomplish anything. But, as I stated in another thread, the writers would kill him because he knows too much about Locke, the hatch, the plane, etc. He died before revealing any details about all of these. Plus, his death now appears to be the catalyst for the survivors choosing sides.
