Don't go there plzzzz..lol....i hope not but..i think that he is one of the top three actors that is well liked in the show so i can't see it...not to mention to all of the female viewers that will be pissssssed!! I think the men like him too cuz he is so damn funny:) I didn't read 'bout the argument over pay but im not suprised cuz matthew is in more and more outside of the show...i think that sawyer is the better actor though(sorry matthew....ur great but have to admit...for the show anyway)..lol

def right about that sawyer is the better actor and i expect to see him in a lot of things by the time the show is ended...sorry tho cant be sawyer in the coffin

[iblpredator]

i think sawyer dies or is still on the island but isnt the one in the casket. Im thinking John Locke

[jacksnurse]

i think sawyer dies or is still on the island but isnt the one in the casket. Im thinking John Locke

its a hard one to call....don't think John or Sawyer...i have tossed a million other ideas out there though....and some are even saying that no one is in there....its just a ploy...i wouldn't be suprised!!:confused:

[Glenn2000]

I have been pondering that damned coffin since I first saw it. I sure hope it isn't Sawyer. He wants to stay on the island - nothing to go back to on the mainland , so unless he's killed between now and the last episode I don't think it's him.

I thought it might be Claire, but why would she be buried in the US? Makes more sense that her body would be returned to Australia.

I just don't know...

[jackchick]

I just have to but in here. Josh is the much better Sawyer. He is so wonderful as this character. If you've seen the couple other things he's done he's just ok. Charming with his great looks but the reason he's done so little acting is he isn't a such agreat actor. He has improved so much since first season. I've been in theatre for over 20 years. I teach drama on the high school level. I'm not an expert or a talent agent...but I know alot about acting as a fine art.

Mathew Fox isn't a great actor but he is a good actor. He isn't as popular with the ladies as Josh but popularity alone won't land good acting jobs.

I think killing off Josh or Terry would be a huge mistake and I'm pretty sure the public out-cry would be deafining! From a writting stand point, if it would be them, it would very near the end of the show.

[teamlost23!]

How about this for a theory? Maybe Sayid is the person in the coffin. Hear me out before the idea is totally shunned.

Ok, so we know that the person in the coffin must have done something pretty terrible considering no one was at the funeral and it was also heavily implied he/she did something wrong. Now, judging by Jack's reaction to the news that "the person" was dead, I think it's obvious that it was an Island related person. At this point Jack is irrational, drunk and totally obssessed with getting back to the Island. It's all about the Island for Jack right now....

Right off the bat I feel we can eliminate two people from the suspect list: we know the person wouldn't be Ben or Juliet because Jack wouldn't have ever asked Kate if she was going to attend either one of there funerals because the answer is an obvious no. She doesn't like Juliet and Ben, well duh why would anyone go to his funeral.

Now, at this point in the show(fast forwards) Sayid is working for Ben under extreme obvious distaste for it. We know Sayid had to do something pretty bad to warrant working with "the bad guy" OR something dramatic(and heart breaking) happened TO him to make him become an assassin fro Ben. Especially given Ben's remark about the last time he used his heart instead of his gun.... Wow, think about this for a second.... once off the Island Sayid becomes a murderer. A murderer! Granted he's probably murdering bad people, but he is still in alliance with Ben, who we know is capable of horrific things. So if Sayid has been forced to do something harmful to anyone of the oceanic 6, but did it for good and honest reasons (like maybe to protect them) they could easily get the wrong idea and think Sayid has turned "bad".

So, in the event Sayid gets killed, but this whole time he has been working for Ben, I can see why no one would attend his funeral. In their minds he is a bad guy now. That would explain Kate's reaction to Jack regarding the funeral, saying "why would I go". To top it off, Sayid has no other family. So, no friends at the funeral and no family, and of course Jacks response to the funeral director guy that he was neither.

Just a thought. Tell me what you guys think!! :rolleyes:

[steelersrule]

I think it's John Locke. Very few people liked him on the island towards the end and he had no family to speak of, so that would explain why no one was at the funeral. Jack has a sweet way about him to overlook the most recent events and see the good in Locke. And it would be a huge deal considering Locke was so hell bent on not leaving the island..the question would be raised as to what events led up to him leaving the island and ultimately his death.

[R070V470R]

at first i was hoping it was ben, but i'm beginning to think that's not likely, if he does die i don't think it will happen until after they return to the island.
i certainly Hope it's not locke though, he's been one of my fav's since season 1.
i find it very hard to believe it's sawyer either.
who does that really leave that only 1 of the 6 would show up to the funeral?
perhaps michael if he turns out being one of the 6.
claire might work, but i don't think there's enough info to back that up.

i think it may just be one of the six, if my theory on the flash forwards timeline is correct (that they are being shown backwards).

[Broseph]

Perhaps we shouldn't be asking "Who's in the coffin?".
Perhaps we should be asking "Who would care enough for someone to pay for their funeral, but despise them enough to not attend?".
Once we figure out who that person is, then the occupant of the coffin will be revealed.

[charmed4200]

I think it is sawyer because when Jack told Kate at the airport about the coffin she got mad and said I don't want to see him

[justjoe]

Too easy. I don't think we have met this person yet.

[charmed4200]

I think it's Sawyer. When Kate and Jack were at the airport in the future and Jack told her he went to the funeral home she got mad and said she wasn't going to go because she didn't want to see HIM

[Sawyers_Other]

hi im new to here, i think the person in the coffin is claire,

reasons being:

they are throwing us off with making us think its a man.
throwin us off with ethnic neighbourhood
i think kate doesnt want to go because it might have been the oceanic 6 fault,
hense also why it hurts jack so much because hes now found out shes his half sister
Also why when asked if friend or family he says 'EITHER' not neither,
also why kate has aaron ?
also why the coffin seems short.

[Sawyers_Other]

oh an also another thing i forgot on there,, all the time desmond was seeing charlie die, claire was also in them, what if claire was meant to die too . x

[bearscowboys2589]

oh an also another thing i forgot on there,, all the time desmond was seeing charlie die, claire was also in them, what if claire was meant to die too . x

i can see how that would work i mean if everybody has something they have to do on the island maybe claire and charlie finished what they needed. although i dont exactly know what claire did to have the island let her die.:confused:

[papatini]

I think that it's Michael in the coffin. He has already been living back in the world under an alias. There are only 6 survivors of 815 that could have or would have attended the funeral. None of the six would probably want to have anything with his funeral since I doubt that anyone on the Island will forgive Mikey for his murders and double crosses. I doubt that he created any new freindships while living under his alias, and I doubt that he would of hooked up with Tom's signifiant other. So..... a dead guy, (commiting suicide?), with no freinds, family, or others to pay respects.
Sounds Like our Mike.

[wvugurl]

ok we do know 2 facts..not jack or kate...yes we know something!! j/k...anyways, im still leaning towards ben....i do not think he would say neither friend or family for sawyer, john, sayid, or michael....after last week when tom was telling michael about watching him and the island not being done with him etc etc...i think jack went to make sure that ben was actually dead....i read that we would know the 10th episode of this season who it is...(but they were saying they did not know that was a spoiler or foiler article), i think it will be the very last thing we learn

[1hourisntlongenough]

i can see how that would work i mean if everybody has something they have to do on the island maybe claire and charlie finished what they needed. although i dont exactly know what claire did to have the island let her die.:confused:

Maybe her purpose was to give birth to Aaron on the island. He might be "special" and needed to be born on the island for reasons we have yet to learn. Idk, just a quick thought.....:rolleyes:

[courtjes]

I'm a (straight) guy and I think Sawyer is COOL dude!

[lilsev42]

It will end up being Micheal,and I think he is murdered.No matter how many times he tried to kill himself .In the end Anna Lucia's partner gets him,I bet on it.You might think I am crazy,but thats Micheal in the coffin.

[rip-charlie]

I'm a (straight) guy and I think Sawyer is COOL dude!

well i think alot of guys think that because he is!!!!

[saLvia]

claire is in the coffin, kate takes her baby. thats what I think.

[bobafett]

Thank you for that good theroy about Annas parnter and Mike.On the enhanced version when Jack was first looking at the article.It said on the scroll.That it was a man from New York that was found dead in California.I also think it could be Micheal.Possiably on his way to gather two members of the Oceanic 6. Jack or Hurley for a rescue mission back to the island.With Walt having the know how.How to get back.

[bobafett]

That is an interesting thought about Clare.But I dont think it.Who do Jack and Hurley have to go back for.Who dies in the invasion.Maybe not alot.I think most of everybody will be prisoners or guine pigs if you will.If its broke Jack will fix it.Or try to jump of a bridge and kill himselve if he cant.Why the change of heart.At first he said they were never going back.Warned by Hugo not to say that.Nobody to change his mind but his dead father sitting by the fireplace. That was shown in clips at the start of the season.Maybe his father also revield to him that he had a sister.But like I said before on the enhanced version on the scroll it said it was a man from New York found dead in California.

[saLvia]

its claire in the coffin, its jacks sister, thats why hes so bent out of shape when he finds out and why he wont look in the coffin...

[mattt]

Claire is not from new york. Syide is not from new york.
Ben is not from ny. Michale is from NY, and if he is under his new ID as Kevin, then his family and past friends wouldnt know he was dead, therfore wouldnt go to his funnural. The person must also be hated enough for the other oceanics to not come (as the tone in kates voice when she says no she wasnt going to go to the funnural). They were all angry cause he murdered and betrayed, so why would hurley, sun, syide and kate feel the need to go.

another theory- maybe hurley wanted revenge for his girl Libby, so he killed Mike/Kev and now he is back in the loonyhouse cause he couldnt deal with murder.

All in all im thinkin its gunna be mike!

[TheEQkid]

its claire in the coffin, its jacks sister, thats why hes so bent out of shape when he finds out and why he wont look in the coffin...

I'm guessing you are stating that Jack knows Claire is his sister. Why then would Jack say "neither" when asked: Is it friend or family?

Yeah that is true. Michael is from New York and he did kill Libby & Ana Lucia, lied about it then betrayed all of his friends by handing them over to the Others & leaving them behind. I'd say that's a pretty good reason not to attend a funeral. He also is now working for Ben and is going to kill even more people. Thats pretty damn bad. I don't think I would even go to his funeral. I don't think Hurley killed him though. He is not a murderer. Michael probably finally succeeded in killing himself. So yeah he does seem like the mostly likely candidate IMO.

[gingergrant]

Maybe there is no one in the coffin ...

Maybe it was staged to get someone to show up (and Jack wasn't the one that was supposed to show up)

[TheEQkid]

Maybe Hurley ran over him? Lol j/k. I'm thinking it is Michael too, or maybe it's empty as Ginger said.

[ChristiK]

I'm starting to think there will be some kind of twist involved and it will be Jack himself who is in the coffin.

[NatalieISLost]

I think it's supposed to be Jin in the coffin, but it's actually empty.

Jin was left on the island, but they pretend he's dead with the all the others..
so Sun has a funeral for him.

That's why Kate says "Why would I go to the funeral" because she knows Jin is not actually dead, so why WOULD she go?

[MonicaLynn60]

I THINK THE MAN IN THE COFFIN IS SOYER DUE TO THE EVENTS OF THE LAST 6 SHOWS AND THE DISPUTE OVER MONEY WHITH THE ACTOR WHO PLAYS JACK HOPE NOT THOUGH:eek:

Sorry Dude,
I think you are way off base with your Sawyer theory....It's totally Michael in the coffin.
#1...Sawyer doesn't leave the Island...we KNOW he's not an Oceanic 6- therefore, I don't think he leaves....
#2...Why wouldn't Kate go to Sawyers Funeral? She would...so I say, nope..not Sawyer.
#3...The scene where Michael is about to kill himself in his car...he pulls out of the exact same spot that Jack pulls into when he going to the funeral...(you know where he sits and looks at the announcement from the paper. )

So if those things alone don't convinve you it's Michael....I don't know what will..

[imascootinspook]

I have refused to let my mind ponder anymore on whom, if anyone, is in that coffin. Bottem line is.....when we all do find out, our mouths are gonna gap open and chins will hit the floor ! So I am just preparing myself for that lol.

[wvugurl]

ok i have thought for the longest time it is ben..but with the definate that we will find out by the end of this season-i do not think they will tell us..unless it is just another scene of it and still do not in fact reveal it...i do not think it would be sawyer, jin. locke-they stay on the island..

kate did say why would i go see him....at least that is what i remember...so i am going for a man...

if it is claires body then i think the world could speculate about aaron...only reason-im sure research has been done to show who was on the plane and i would imagine they would find out one way or another she was pregnant at the time of the crash...the media is cruel so im sure they could find that dirt....

michael-no i think that is just way to easy...im sure if he dies on the freightor and his body washes up finger prints and dental impressions would have to be done...and plus at this point, jack does not know that "kevin johnson" is on the freightor and sayid blew the kevin johnson cover-didnt he??...and the way kate said it, i think it is someone closer than we think with it just being michael...

i am at a lost for it...i do tend to want to say-yes maybe we have not met this person or we are making this into something alot bigger than intended...just like this week -a major character gets killed...well i did not feel alex being major...so it may not be someone we would ever dream of or have really met yet...

[-XENOMORPHMELT-]

Well, I guess this is a Theory only Spoilers could tell you unless your a strong beleiver in Patience to wait for it to come up probably next weeks two hour finale.

[wvugurl]

Well, I guess this is a Theory only Spoilers could tell you unless your a strong beleiver in Patience to wait for it to come up probably next weeks two hour finale.


lol i cannot even find it in the spoilers..this one is really under lock and key...and btw the finale is 3 hrs split between 2 nites! yah!

[SpaceBar]

Now hold the phone just a second.

At the end of Season 3 when JAck and Kate meet at the airport, Kate says at the end of that conversation: I have to get back, HE'LL be wondering where I am.

What does this mean? I apologize if this has already came to light as i can only watch the episodes i get from a contact i have in the US. The last one i saw was Sayid and Desmond on the boat and they meet 'Kevin' who is really Michael.

[SpaceBar]

Soory meant to add. My first thought was that the guy she mentioned had to be Sawyer, but he ain't one of the Oceanic 6...

Here's a thought. Do we actually know yet WHY they are called the Oceanic 6? It doesn't necessarily mean they are the only survivors...They could be the only 6 that got rescued.

Loads of the castwaways could've got back, but these ones are called the Oceanic 6 cos they became a terrorist group that liked to eat children!

Unlikely sure, but my point is that in Lost, there's never any reason to rule any theory out.

[danielle222]

its claire in the coffin, its jacks sister, thats why hes so bent out of shape when he finds out and why he wont look in the coffin...

Please don't let it be Claire. I guess that would explain why Jack is so upset and how Kate ends up with Aaron, though. So many unanswered questions...

[1hourisntlongenough]

If it were Claire, wouldn't Kate react to her death with some emotion..especially since she has Aaron?? I really hope so.

[dharmiamlost]

I think it is Jin. I also think the visitor Hurley says Jack will get is his father, Christian, and he tells him that Claire is his 1/2 sister and that Aaron is his nephew. That is why I think he blurted out to Kate that she is not even related to him, sort of a zinger and an anger remark. In the episode where Claire is talking to the guy who is setting up the adoption and her flight, the one who says the child must be kept safe and with her, was he the "Gorton Fisherman"? There is so much to ponder. The psychic?
