One of the DarkUFO site contributers, Sawyer840, is currently in Hawaii on vacation an taking tours of the filming etc. You can see location photos and reports on the blog Sawyer840.
One of the things that they managed to find out is that they are also about to film a death on the show. The info is being kept very secret currently and we don't have details of who the death will involve. Hopefully they'll have some more info soon which they can then pass onto us.

Woah! Awesome, another death. I guess we all saw that coming what with 'the bad guys' arriving. My guess it will be a secondary character, someone not so important, but familiar to the show.
i just don't want anybody else to die. I like everyone too much. if somebody really HAD to die, I would choose Sawyer, as much as I'd miss him. His story is over.
I disagree, I think Sawyer's story is just beginning.
If I had to pick someone to go, it would be Claire, Rose and Bernard, or Jin. In that order of preference.
However, I doubt it will be Claire since we need to see her get in the helicopter with Aaron. I love Jin, and definitely don't want him to go, even though he seems to have the least amount of story possibilities at the moment.
So my vote goes to either Rose or Bernard.
Who else could we lose without too much of a ripple?
hipster:Sawyer isn't gona die Carlton saied the love triangle will continue for a long time.And his story is far from over he failed to get his redemption when he killed Cooper.He is in a dark plase now.so i think we will see him struggle with his Cooper issue and with his self hate.so his story is far from over.And if you think in that way the story of Sayid,Hurley,Jin,Sun,Jack,Kate.is also over all their storyes came to full circle.Well maybe except Kate and Jack because they get off the island.And we don't know yet if Sawyer manage off island.
I really hope its none of our regulars or recurring characters. I would rather it be one of the newbies. The producers said that some of the new characters will only be around for a few episodes, while others will have longer arcs, with the possibility of becoming regulars. I think Rebecca Mader and Jeremy Davies will be around for a while, so maybe Ken Leung's character is going...?
to hipster,
you are suspected of being Jack's fan then your opinion is so tendentious....Mine too:
I would prefer Jack to die he's sooooo bored..Sawyer is funny, sexy, complex and he is going to be father again :) cause Kate is pregnant.
But I think that who is going to die is neither
I take it back.
My comment got some backlash, and I've rethought where it came from. I remember thinking before The Brig, that once Sawyer kills Cooper (whenever it happened), that that would be the end of the line for him. Apparently I never rethought this theory after the events in The Brig. I agree Sawyer still has a long way to go until redemption and to becoming a new person, but I still think that he might be destined to die.
sawyerrules- I'm no more Jack's fan than I am of Sawyer. In fact my favorite episode is The Long Con. Before the finale, I remember there being a foiler that Jack might die in the finale, and I didn't mind the thought of it.
In all honesty, there's no character that they could kill that could make me lost interest or respect for the writers, since this show is just too great, and I would trust however its done to be the right way to do it. For example: although Libby's death was apparently not planned from the beginning, it certainly helped in making Hurley a stronger character.
zoriah- I don't think they'll kill Rose & Bernard, they're sympathetic characters. Unless its along the lines of them getting rescued and Rose's cancer coming back. that would be so sad though.
Also, I think if they killed claire it would make Charlie's death in vain, and I don't think they'd do that either.
I guess they could kill Jin, but I hope they don't, he's grown so much.
Whoever dies will most likely have their flashbacks/forwards in the same episode. Which episode is this death rumoured to take place in?
-S
If it is true, if it is not a secondary or new character and if the death will occur on the island, then it would likely happen in the episode involving that person's flashback.
It is romoured that Sawyer, Hurley, Sayid, Kate and Desmond have had their flashes allready.
I hardly doubt that Jack would be shown dead at the time even with his hear grey in ff.=]
I also strongly doubt that Locke would let himself to be killed - he would do anything to stay alive and continue his "researches"
Claire - that's a first doubt, but I also think that she must be kept alive - for Aaron and for her unexplored connection with Jack.
What's left? Sun, Jin, Rose, Bernard, Juliet, Ben.
Sun - not likely - her death would be just... no surprise, as she was allready shown like going to die because of her pregnancy. It would have no point.
Jin - I can imagine him loosing countions by protecting Sun or, in some very intense situation, even Hurley or Sawyer. Something like that. But I personally do not expect that.
Rose - she was told beeing very sick - island brought health back. Now they are leaving - if she would die, like in Sun's case, it will most likely happen off the island.
Bernard - hm. Do not see a way his death beeing significant at the time. But, yes, it could happen as he and Rose were the ones who were agreed not to leave - his death because of "rescuers" coul be the first showing the "bad things", that happen beacuse of leaving.
Ben - the first thought was - Richard might kill him beacuse he failed and is not speacial anymore. Then remembered Richard is not coming back. And, maybe unlikely a lot of others, I do not think the coming people would come after Ben's head - maybe after capturing him, but not for finishing everything.
Juliet - mmmmmmmmmm. I dislike her very mutch, but like the writers expressed her so much times to be the greatest success of a character... Doubt she is the one to go.
Prediction: most likely none. Slight possibility for Jin, Bernard or Juliet.
Note: the episode should likely involve a flashback, because it is next to what seem to be Kate's ff - not the greatest possibility to have two ff straight, but if they are just "preapering" it could happen also later.
And if the death is a FF (I put my money on it), I put my money also that it would be
1. Sawyer
or - much less likely for me
2. Claire or Rose
Aren't they currently filming a Desmond-centric episode?
Oh, they can't kill Desmond. No way.
Good reasoning, rich.decor, except you've left out the most critical piece - there's no way in hell they're writing Josh Holloway out of this show. Some things transcend the story and certain actors are untouchable. The network wants those numbers. I think people too often forget that this show isn't marketed to the obsessives or to the international community. It's marketed to the average American and there's no way they're killing their golden boy.
I wouldn't mind if Rose and Bernard got axed. They don't contribute anything to show. I still can't believe they actually got a flashback.
I can see Rose & Bernard going, even know I quite like Rose. I am suprised Bernard is still around out of all the tailies. Shame Libby & Eko had to die, they were awesome.
Since Richard is unlikely to return in Season 4, he's on the list too along with those new characters: Rebecca Mader, Jeremy Davies, Jeff Fahey & Ken Leung.
I can see the logic also of killing someone in the FF but keeping them in the on island story for three more years. But that really calls attention to one of the main problems with the FFs in general, that they destroy all suspense and make it harder for us to invest or care about the on island story.
Hm... NOW I don't wanna read anymore spoilers...
I'm betting on Ben. The Others have a new leader who can communicate with Jacob, Alex has a new family, Juliet has new alliances and a new purpose, we know about the Purge now, we know how he got to the island and his family history, we know how he became the Others' leader, Richard can tell the story of before Ben got there and about the island, Juliet can tell the last few years, Danielle can tell Alex's kidnapping. There are really very few ends to wrap up that are exclusively Ben's and they could do the rest of his story with one more flashback. As much as I adore him and ME, he's my bet.
I think it will be Sayid.
I thought I read on this site that they were planning on killing a ale character onisland and a female character off-island in a flashforward...
I have a bad feeling that it's gonna be Claire and Sayid.....
I agree with erin and michel020, Sayid will die on the island
The suicide ODI predicted, anyone?
-S
NOT A-FRICKIN-GAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm guessing Ben or Juliet, which will suck, but what else can you do with them? Ben is their hostage so maybe whoever Jack talked to on that phone will kill him for keeping the island hidden from them for so long. They could pursue the Jack and Juliet thing, but other than it adding to Jack's angst when she's done with him, what purpose does it serve? I hope she gets to go home to her sister and nephew, but since Lost and happy endings really don't go together, my guess is she dies on the island. Maybe she's pregnant too, with Goodwin's spawn, and it eats its way out of her before they have a chance to get rescued.
Could be too that Michael shows up with whoever Jack contacted and Sawyer finishes him off in much the same manner Tom got finished off. Regardless, I doubt it would be any of the "regulars". Not this early in season 4.
Sawyer or Sayid
I don't think they're bringing Michael back for one episode just so they can kill him off. And I would say both Ben and Juliet are safer than houses this season, considering the way tptb have been bragging about them, especially Juliet. She's an amazing character and they need all the women they can get, hardly have any by this point.
I am thinking back to the Hurley or Sawyer spoiler and the male dying in the FF. Sounds like Hurley is going to be a part of FFs, including maybe being re-institutionalized. So he could be the death. Not a chance it's Sawyer. Hurley dying in the FFs but still around for the on island stuff, I can see that happening.
I agree that Juliet is going to die but I think it won't be before the end of season 5. The critics love EM and the producers are very, very proud of the character. Not to mention that the show's already low on women.
I have a bad feeling about Sayid and Jin. The same goes for Ben but he still has lots of backstory to tell. Not to mention that ME got an Emmy nomination. They would be crazy to get rid of him (unless he wants out).
And I would say both Ben and Juliet are safer than houses this season, considering the way tptb have been bragging about them, especially Juliet. She's an amazing character and they need all the women they can get, hardly have any by this point.
I hope you're right. Juliet is my favorite female character. I'd rather see Kate die than her, but you have more faith in TPTB than I do. With rescue coming I don't see where her story can go from here and her name kind of suggests............
I know it would be shocking and all, but I think Sayid is in the same category as Sawyer... they can't kill him because he's one of the best things about the show.
I'm thinking Claire. She gets on the helicopter in the present, and then in her flash forward, we see how miserable she is, and (if that rumor is true), she hangs herself.
Which leaves the male death on the Island... maybe it's Aaron (hence Claire's suicide) ?
I just remembered that Desmond said Aaron gets on the helicopter with Claire... well, maybe the "Sickness" prevents someone born on the Island from leaving, so he dies soon after on the Freighter (which isn't technically "on the Island", but it's close).
I think Aaron is somehow central to the storyline, not to mention that killing a baby is too tacky even for these guys. I do agree that Sayid is too interesting to kill off, but unfortunately interesting doesn't always equal ratings and at the end of the day the writers are bound by commerce over art.
Her name suggests death under highly romantic circumstances, so that entire Jack/Juliet romance needs to happen first, if it's the name you're going on. I think the whole idea that "you can't see where his/her story can go from here" is crazy. You can say that about almost any of the characters. Or about none of them. Their stories can all go a million places depending on what twist or turn the writers want to give them. Jack could end up in a ditch and die if the writers want or need to do that. And Juliet could become the key story of the coming year, maybe sacrificing her life at some future point to save everyone else. It makes no sense to say anyone's story has no place to go. And sometimes people even say it about characters like Sawyer who has such a rich story ahead of him. Just because a fan can't think of a story for a character doesn't mean the writers are as lacking in imagination.
I do think the romance with Jack needs to finish playing out to finish up the whole man and woman from feuding sides falling for each other thing and I think it will end and probably badly because I believe Jack is meant to be alone, but other than perhaps intentionally getting herself pregnant by Goodwin so Ben would be forced to let her "take a pregnant woman off the island" completely backfiring on her, I'm having trouble seeing where Juliet is headed in the grand scheme, as part of the story that has been going on, not the little side stories. We've seen no hint of a connection to anything bigger have we? Even EM felt her character's story was coming to an end and was surprised she survived the finale. I guess she lacks imagination too. Oh well, at least I'm in good company.
My guess is that its gonna be alex or karl. It would be just rousseau's luck to wait 16 years for her daughter and then she dies. It would be interesting, because its the only hope she's had all this time.
how can it possibly be anyone but sayid? everyone here seems to love him so much. his backstories are dull and he hardly gets any screentime anyways.
bye bye sayid, I for one will not miss you
Well, Sun is doomed if they kill off Juliet and rescue doesn't come right away . Not to mention that she would only be another female character who got introduced and then got killed off like Ana and Libby. It would be too repetitve.
No more deaths!!! Please!
Naveen Andrews does have a couple of feature films on his IMDB site that are still in various phases of production.
Sayid goes next.
It's possible that someone would die in a flashforward so that we would still see the character in the Island storyline.
and now i see that others have made the same guess...so, i agree :)
Since Juliet is my favorite character, I will live in blissful denial of the possibility that they would kill her off. Seriously, they invested a great deal of time telling her story. She has been "marked," she's been "photographed by and faced down the smoke monster, and she's turned against the Others.
So, I think TPTB still have some story to tell. I do believe that she was named for a reason. "Juliet" died for love, or as the result of a tragic mistake, depending upon whether you are a romantic. I think it is in the stars for our dear Juliet to die for love, or perhaps sacrifice herself in another way for love. For example, she may give her seat on the rescue chopper, etc. to someone else. After all, she has once before sacrificed her freedom for love by staying on the island to save her sister's life. Perhaps that is why Jack is so desperate to get back. I digress. I believe that Bernard will die on the island and Rose, once she is rescued, living w/o Bernard and with the return of her terminal cancer, will kill herself. That is the least painful way to fulfill the "spoiler." The Charlie death was played-up for an entire season. There is no real reason to kill off any other major characters. I really like Bernard and Rose but, if I must sacrifice someone, I am prepared to sacrifice them.
That's right. Charlie's death was prepared the whole season. So it wouldn't make any sense to kill off another main lostie in the next 5 or 6 episodes.
For all we know this supposed "death" they are about to film is Charlie's funeral. Maybe Desmond brings his body back with him.
Why does everyone suggest that the death is associated with a series or season recurring character? It might be any of the pilots, a la Naomi (if we consider her dead after all).
-S
It won't be Locke. And it unfortinutly won't be Kate, Jack, Or Sawyer
Steven, your right, it looks like Sayid would be the most obvious cast member to die. I agree his flashbacks arent the best as they dont reveal to much, his flashbacks are just wasting time in some situations. He's had 1 or 2 that have been useful but thats it.
i do think that Kate has a flashforward in episode 4, why would mdeia be taking pictures? she'll take a pregn test as well in the future. Just a guess
I don't think that this will be the death of a major character. There are 5 new characters coming - most of whom are being introduced early in the season. It makes sense that it would be one of them.
I think it might be Penny....
Katie: That certainly crossed my mind. It sounds plausible. I hope you're right.
Alright guys! Here is my list of deaths for the rest of the show with regulars, and currently introduced characters.
Season 4:
Karl
Sayid
Walt
(I think charlie will be saved and be back in season 4, i already have my plan for fan fiction...) BTW, mine is cameron banks
Season 5:
Hurley
Sawyer
Michael
Sun (via pregnancy)
Rousseau
Alpert
Season 6:
Ben
Juliet
Jin
Off island/Flash-forward
Claire
Desmond
Kate/Jack come back to the island, Jack dies on the island, leaving Kate, Locke and Alex on the island...
also adding to that.. i think Walt is the main death everyone talks about, but towards the end of the season aroound epi 9-11...after they tell his story..
either that or he leaves the island
Just to clarify a few things Dark...
In the fantasy league if someone dies in a flashforward does that character net you negative points even though they haven't died in real time yet?
What if we don't see them die?
In the prediction league, is the "next death" catgeory referring to deaths in chronological time or just the next character we see die (even if its in a flash forward).
I suppose there's not much I can do to change either of my entries but I am just curious as to how those two categories will work in LPL and LFL.
thanks.
Michaels gonna be on a path of redemption, so he's gonna turn his wrongs into rights. I dont see his storyline lasting further than season 4. Michael is going to die in a heroic act in S4.
whether this death will be his i dont know, but mark the lost kings words, he'll die.
whereas Walt, wellhe'll be killed by the dudes on the freighter, giving micael motivation to fight back. meaning he'll have nothing to lose
Michael will be involved in flashforwards, I doubt he'll be involved on-island.
Having said that, however, I think they may show that Michael is the dude in the casket and film how he dies.
However, having said THAT, this seems like an odd time to film it.
So... dunno.
Jake, i think Locke was in the casket. Unfortunatley. Michael will be on the island, walt was wasnt he. Im guessing he had an encounter with the frieghter.
technically Darlton said michael would be recuring and not just in flashbacks, they didn't specifically say he would return to the island to my knowledge, so i guess it's possible he is only seen in flashforwards kind of a reverse of christian shephard.
I think it's unlikely though, i'm hoping we see him back on the island. but flashforward only would make sense alot.
If he had a run in with the freighter he would have been with them for a month or so... I'm not liking that at first thought.
I'm betting Jin dies, possibly Bernard. It would seem that Bernard has some story left dealing with Rose's leaving/not leaving the island, which could be resolved early in s4...
As for Jin, I don't think there is anything left to his story, he's done - kill him off and finish up sun's pregnancy story ASAP imo
I think Kate will die in a flash forward... or maybe Locke, and he will indeed be the person in the coffin.
