LOST...Charlie didnt die... WHY?

Question

They had me crying the entire hour. I dont want him to die! But why did they set me up? Im already more emotionally involved in TV characters than I should be.

When he popped up out of the water into the hatch and exclaimed "Im alive!" I thought "Duh Charlie, you still have to flip the switch!" But then the hot chicks with guns came flying out and put a stop to that. I read that 5 characters are going to die by the end of the season finale. Will Charlie be one of them? Who else?

NO SPOILERS! ! !

Answer 1

5?!?!?!

Holy crap.

Well in a glimpse from the preview, I saw that Desmond went after Charlie in the Looking glass, they'll probably have a good fight with those women, and at least one will die :(

If indeed 5 people die, then another likely one will be Carl. he keeps saying how Ben will kill him if he sees him again. Another would be Rose's husband, since she was so against him staying and being one of the marksmen.

That makes 4....I can't even imagine who else there is that might be expendable

Answer 2

Well, either Desmond was lying to get Charlie away from the beach, or Desmond's self sacrifice changed something. I'm betting the former. And Charlie may die yet. The producers have shown absolutely no restraint in killing off popular characters. It's one of the reasons people like the show. After all, your favourite character is in danger and can die.

Answer 3

You know - I used to consider reality shows quite undesirable and even stupid, but "LOST" is another story altogether. I first watched the episodes, analyzing every situation for clues and trying to piece together the mystery till I came to the realisation: The reason that it's so abstract and complex isn't because it creative or original -- it's because there is NO real underline meaning. The writers are tactless/talentless. : )

Answer 4

Oh, I know what you mean. Charlie had me tearing up all through last night's episode. I really hope they don't kill him off.

Edit: Remember Desmond told Charlie AFTER he pushes the yellow blinking button, then he would drown. So far, Charlie has not pushed the button.

Answer 5

I think Charlie, Tom, Carl and a woman. I do not know who it might be. These are all guesswork. Maybe Kate? Rosie? I guess we will just have to wait until next week.

Answer 6

The Thing: the black guy survived not being absorbed by the creature. Deep Blue Sea: LL Cool J avoided being Sharkbait. Anaconda: Ice Cube didn't get eaten by the snake.

Answer 7

FINALE "THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS" The finale is full of action, a few deaths -- and that huge twist I mentioned earlier. First, the deaths. A bunch of Others get killed when they try to raid the camp. This includes Friendly, who Sawyer shoots in cold blood -- and also the other new tough guy Other (I think his name is Price) who gets run over by Hurley in the van. And Charlie FINALLY dies. Thank god. I've always thought he was one of the weaker characters and his death has been threated in so many episodes its about time it finally happened. He unblocks the jamming signal in the underwater station but drowns when Mikhail uses a grenade to blow it up, killing them both. It's a cool death for Charlie. Maybe cooler than he deserves. Another big moment is when an old favorite of the show returns. Locke is just about to kill himself in the Dharma grave pit that he fell into after Ben shot him when he hears a voice telling him not to. He looks up to see...WALT!! Walt helps him out of the pit and then disappears. No sign of Michael, and there's no explanation about where Walt has been or what happened to him or Michael. Locke then makes it to the Radio Tower -- and gets there in time to kill Naomi just before she makes the rescue call. He throws a knife straight into her back. Jack can't understand what Locke is doing and tells him that he'll have to shoot him to stop him from making the call himself. Locke threatens to kill Jack, but then backs down. Jack makes the rescue call -- and someone on the other end answers. The story on the island ends with help on the way. Or maybe not. Ben has told Jack that Naomi and her people aren't who they say they are -- and just before he dies, Charlie sees a transmission in the underwater hatch from Desmond's Penny -- who, contrary to what Naomi has said, denies that she knows Naomi at all!! But the HUGE TWIST of the episode -- in fact, probably the huge twist of the entire series -- happens in the flashback. They start by showing that Jack is totally ****** up. He's popping pills and suicidal. The first flashback shows him about to kill himself by jumping off a bridge -- only a car accident nearby causes him to stop, and instead of killing himself he fins himself helping the accident victims. But he keeps spiraling. He sees his ex-wife at the hospital -- she's pregnant with another man's child. He goes to a funeral of a person that we never discover, but whoever it is, his (or her) death rocks Jack hard. He steals drugs from the hospital and is caught by the new doctor in charge. And all the time, he's constantly on the phone desperately trying to contact somebody. And the last scene shows us who...he goes to meet the mystery person, and it's the last person on earth we would think...it's KATE! And it's now that we realize that for the first time in Lost history, we haven't been watching a flashback. We've been watching a FLASH-FORWARD! Yep, that's right. THEY ACTUALLY SHOW THAT JACK AND KATE MAKE IT OFF THE ISLAND. For some reason, this has been the cause of Jack's spiral. He tells Kate they have to go back to the island. She refuses and drives away. The show finishes with Jack screaming "We have to go back!!" It's a bold move by the writer's no doubt, but I'm not sure if it will pay off entirely. It raises many other questions -- how did they get off the island, did anyone else get off the island, who stayed behind -- but on a show that has been all about our heroes trying to get back home, its kind of disappointing to know that Jack and Kate actually return to the mainland and that they could stay there if they want. The twist is bound to cause huge discussion among Lost fans. I felt it was a bit of a cheat, but maybe others will like it more... Hope enjoyed the scoop.

Answer 8

Who is to say he won't die - he hasn't flipped the yellow switch yet - he has to do this first then he dies. That was what Desmond saw.

Answer 9

I'm so with you. I LOVE Charlie and did not want him to die. I'm not sure why they did it, but I'm glad they did. He's my favorite character.

Answer 10

He could still die because he is in the "Looking Glass" hatch and those people have him at gunpoint.
