Thanks, I was cringing over the typos and run on sentences on the reread but I’m glad I got my point across.
From a writing standpoint Jack’s death would have the most impact on future storylines. It will be interesting to see if they actually go that way.
It’ll be Jack. I’m willing to put a substantial amount of money on it.
Anybody else would be a letdown. If they cop-out, then it will be Jin or Shannon.
If they get really nasty, it will be Walt. Eaten by the polar bear! 
If they get really, really nasty it will be Walt eaten by Vincent! 
If we didn’t live on opposite ends of the country, I’d take that bet. No way Jack buys it in season one.
Yowza … just read some spoilers online at E! and I don’t like what I read:
Spoiler here. - Sounds like maybe Hurley?
I put it in the box because it’s a BIG spoiler. I think. Then again, maybe not.
Why do I do it?? Mother of Og, every damn time!!!
I’m going to go sit in the corner and cry while berating myself for poor impulse control. sigh
That would be a huge loss.
Reason:
As it stands, he’s the only reliable comic relief this series has
sorry for the pun “huge loss” …
I’m sure the writer’s thought long and hard before making such a weighty decision. They’re gonna get a ton of nasty mail for this, if it happens.
For shame! How can you joke about this! Especially when …
I’m over here blubbering in the corner, weighed down with this hefty burden of despair … I should go after you both with a stout stick.
Okay, so I guess I’m no better. 
Well, I think that chick has been wrong before or misinformed and her info was slightly off.
Still that character does fit the “much loved” requirement.
[SPOILER] Quote from the spoiler site " Basically, something catastrophic happens, and because someone lies about what happened, the victim ultimately can’t be saved.". I wonder if this is about the hatch in the ground and Locke or Boone are the liar? Or perhaps Kate who’s a well-known liar? Or Jin lying about speaking English?
Hurley has been the character many have suspected of being the one to die because he is probably the most loved. I’d hate to see them write him out, maybe the writers will change things at the last minute since this seems to be what everyone is expecting. If this does happen and basically someone else is “responsible”, I suppose that will add enough of an element of drama to carry on into future episodes for a while.
They will gets lots of nasty letters though. Jorge Garcia is one of the actors who posts and chats the most over at The Fuselage the most. I still think they need to kill off the character that would add the most drama, Jack, not the one most loved by the fans. Meanies!

So, in rockle’s link …
[spoiler]There’s an indication that there will be an episode from Vincent’s perspective, which will give us some sort of insight into what went on in the plane’s cargo hold. I hope if they do it, it also covers what the dog does when he runs off on the island, but I’m not holding my breath.
I just think it’s absolutely fantastic that someone thought to do a Vincent flashback. :)[/spoiler]
OK, seriously: Do we all need a 12-step program, or what? “Hi, my name is rockle, and I am a spoiler addict.”
Dammit. Now I have to stop reading this thread. I managed to resist reading the boxes this time, but I have poor impulse control.
Oh, by the way, throw a smiley in there if it wasn’t obvious that I’m not really mad.
And now our motto:
People with poor impulse control–don’t squeeze the ketchup packet as hard as you can “just to see what happens!”
Yeah, I did it once. Mom was pissed. Because she was covered in ketchup.
Okay, I’ve read the tivo episode summary for Numbers, which airs in two weeks. It says that Hurley becomes obsessed with finding the French woman and goes off into the jungle after her, forcing Jack, Locke and (I think) Charlie to go after him.
IMHO this is the episode that’s going to lead to the Major Character Death we’ve all heard about, and it’s going to be Hurley.
What, nobody’s pointed out that Hurley visualized his own demise (in all earnestness, funny or not) in the last episode?
Not a good idea on the island, I think.
Well considering the writer’s love to double meanings, “much loved” could actually mean “biggest slut” and therefore it’s Shannon.
Not to bring back a thread that is sort of dead, but I had a thought on this. I am a casual watcher of the show (due to time constraints) but stay caught up on the action based on this thread and TWOP.
One of the main questions continually surrounding this show is the time that is passing on the island, and specifically how it relates to weight loss for Hurley. Since real life weaght loss would be somewhat difficult to manage on a chronological basis with the show, wouldn’t it make some sense that Hurley is most likely to die, and to do so soon? That way, they can use him for a while, but get rid of him before the weight loss questions become too prominent.
