Welcome to Gaia! ::

Unfortunately, there seems to be a consensus around the spoiler community about who's going to die this season. Now, remember, this isn't confirmed, so take this with a grain of salt, but it's quite possibly what's going to happen.

First, I'd like to add that it's been stated that the female being written off is "more Boone than Arzt" in her role on the show (meaning it's someone we've known for a while, which takes Ana-Lucia out of the running) and apparently her publicist knows that she's being fired, but has been telling the press that she isn't being fired.

All signs point to: Shannon
crying That's totally retarded, in my personal opinion.

-They go down the hatch and right into Twilight Zone creeipness.
-Danielle has been on the island 16 years, despite the inconsistent iterations of her message.
-There are no nanobots on the island.
-Rose will definitely return in the second season.
-There isn't a second plane from Sydney to L.A.; there is only one Oceanic 815.
-The numbers become a driving and fundamental plot point of the second season.
-The identity/past of Jack's wife will be revealed early in the season.
-Julie Bowen (Jack's wife) has already filmed an episode.
-How Locke became wheelchair-bound will be revealed.
-What exactly Kate did to become one of America's Most Wanted will be revealed.
-Hurley's pre-lottery existence will be seen through flashbacks.
-How/why the plane crashed will be revealed by the finale of season 2.
-Ana-Lucia will likely play into the Jack-Kate relationship.
-The encounter between Jack and Ana-Lucia at the airport was not accidental.
-Charlie and Locke will re-explore their relationship; Locke will once more be his mentor.
-Charlie will struggle with the surplus of heroine on the island.
-Aaron will play a big part in Charlie's life on the island, as will Claire.
-Charlie will start contributing to the group more than he did in the previous season.
-More people will be found on the island.

This season, Jack's mistrust of Locke will grow, as he continues to question his motives and obsession in uncovering the secrets of the mysterious hatch. The fates of Sawyer, Michael and Jin will be revealed after their raft was blown out of the water by "The Others" - who at the end of last season kidnapped Michael's son, Walt. Sun will become less dependent on husband Jin and more autonomous, as she wonders whether he is still alive. Kate's back-story life as a fugitive will continue to be explored. Charlie will become even closer with Claire and her baby, Aaron, but the stash of drugs he found in a statue could seduce him back to a dark life of addiction. The cursed numbers that turned Hurley's life upside down before the crash will continue to haunt him as he begins to uncover their meaning. Shannon will decide where Sayid fits in her life while she continues to grieve over the death of her brother, Boone, and develops a growing sense of unease about the raft passengers and their fate.
