Major Change Coming This Season on LOST

[spicedogs]

This season, I have been spoiler free till somebody blasted speculations of the latest possible events on LOST over at Twitter. So now that I know what is about to happen, I feel compelled to discuss it here.

According to Kristen on E! someone's dying and leaving the show at the end of Season 5. She says that he or she is a much-loved character.

Some people speculate that it might be Ben. Someone over at MEFB said that

Better not be Ben. I tweeted that, but then I thought, prolly not, because although folks love the actor, the character is pretty much reviled. And Darlton love Emerson. I've heard they even write lines and angle for him to give 'em the "eyes treatment." So after my initial fear passed, I'm thinking he's safe. But I have a second worry that it might be Sawyer. Anyone else I'm wouldn't mind in varying degrees. Except for Kate, I'd pay money to see her go, but I guess she's not it, being the lead female character and all. Anyway, the bets are going down in Dark UFO and you can check your hunches with other rabid Lostoholics.

(Well, those of you in MEFB know who tweeted about it and made me see a spoiler.)

Here's my take on the possibilities:

1. It may be Desmond. Maybe we will find out that Ben killed him and his family.

2. It may even be Sun. Sun did not enter the past when she arrived on the island. Hence, her presence is no longer needed. If we do away with Sawyer and anyone else who is currently in the past, we alter the future and that person will not be alive in 2004 during the original crash. Unfortunately, Ben is in the future as well. So that becomes a problem. How beloved is Ben? Well, he does keep the audience glued to the TV and is continuously nominated for any award possible. So, TPTB need him.

3. How about Locke? He is in the present as well. And, I always said that he'd morph into Jacob. Maybe he needs to be killed in order to become the new character "Jacob." This would be brilliant on the producers' part. It would make the audience be under pins and needles trying to find out who will be killed off.  The powers to be (TPTB) are able to deliver a major death without getting the audience mad, because the actor is still delivering lines as another character.

A the end, unfortunately, we will all be disappointed, because our theories are so much better than their delivery.

I sitll wish that I was not spoiled.

It's that time of year when we all fear for Ben. We did last year and it was Charlie.

Kristen often does not know what she is talking about. I would question her use of the term "much beloved". She just wants to stir up as much action as she can on her blog so she looks good. DarkUFO is almost always correct in his spoilers so I think his list is accurate.

I too stumbled upon this and now I'm worried for Ben. However, if "much beloved" is accurate that does not fit Ben. He is in the "much hated" or the "love to hate" category. Miles does not fit the beloved category either. I don't think it's Jin because they just did the Jin is dead scenario.

It's Sawyer I'm afraid for. But then Daniel is in the running too and he has developed quite a following and I would say he is pretty much beloved. This is a guy who has been on the show for two seasons. Most of the action in the first five episodes this season was around him. After this season Daniel serves no purpose to the storyline. He was just there to explain the physics behind the time travel and be a catalyst to some happenings in 1977. My bet is Daniel. If it's Sawyer I'm going to be upset, because he is a major piece of the show. Without Sawyer is it Lost?

I have been thinking long and hard about this. I think that they may end up killing Jin. After all, it didn't stop them from killing Michael right after they brought him back to LOST.
