will not be in Season 5, but will return in Season 6.

Timber

Couldn't wait to get that out could you? Isn't that the definition of a thread crap?

CharlieK

Oh! Oh! Ohhhh, that's stupid.

Season 6 is the last one, right? When we last saw this character, they were in an interesting, and seemingly high profile, position. I wonder how they'll be able to explain the absence without it feeling forced.

Cardiff Giant11

makes sense given what happened in the season finale.

pinata242

Easy money: she's on the island and season 5 won't be. Or the time spent on the island won't really deal with anyone that would interact with Claire and/or Christian.

starseed1981

I'm cool with that.

firteen88

So is this person not going to be in season 5 because they decided not to, or because it's what the writers want?

RichC2

Probably a little of both, now they won't be a series regular pulling a weekly pay check for only being in one or two episodes.

calhoun07

I thought that was a given at the end of last year. I didn't know it was supposed to be a secret.

Josh-da-man

I think that the original thing that came out was that

Larry C.

No, I believe it goes to season 7.

dvd182

I think this was revealed in one of the promo pieces...maybe at Comic Con this year? It was something outside the regular show.

pinata242

No, this one only goes to 6.

Seantn

It was a given that she'd be gone for season 5 and BACK for season 6? How so?

I myself thought she was dead (which maybe she is), but I had no way to know she'd be off the show an entire season before her return.

Larry C.

Wow, pinata. Why you gotta point out my mistakes man???? Yep you are right I thought with the strike the were gonna be forced to make a season 7.

harrydoyle

Yeah, agreed, that's what I was expecting. Well, sort of because I didn't think she'd be back at all, but that's interesting, I wonder how they'll work her in although I already have my theories.

DVD Josh

He's called himself about 100 different names.

Arthur Dent

Yea, it was indeed revealed at Comic-Con. The video made it online, but got taken down on you tube. I managed to see it somewhere else, but can't recall where.

Arthur Dent

And there it is.

Palaver

Nice. Thanks.

Awesome!

Re-watched Exodus (S1 finale) on Sci-Fi the other night. Conversation Locke & Jack had:

Locke: "We were brought here for a purpose, for a reason - all of us. Each one of us was brought here for a reason."

Jack: "Brought here. And who brought us here John?"

Locke: "The island. The island brought us here. This is no ordinary place, you've seen that, I know you have. The island chose you too Jack. It's destiny."
...
Jack: "I don't believe in destiny."

Locke: "Yes you do. You just don't know it yet."

Nice to know they had an idea of what was going to happen way back then.

hardercore

Great episode, was Exodus.

aktick

Agreed. A lot of people didn't like it because of how it ended (Walt being taken, Locke & Jack just looking down the hole), but it definitely set things in motion for the rest of the series more than a lot of finales/premieres, IMO.

Can't wait to see Jack and Ben carrying around Locke's dead body.
