This thread is a tribute to Desmond's death. Although he is alive in the alternate reality, it's a shame that Locke killed him.

Nah, Desmond isnt dead on the island.

Nope, he aint dead.

He may be down, but I don't think he's out.

It'd take more than falling down a well to kill our Des, I'm thinking.

L.I.P. Desmond

It'd take more than falling down a well to kill our Des, I'm thinking.
Especially when that well's 15 feet deep at most with water at the bottom of it.

It'd take more than falling down a well to kill our Des, I'm thinking.
I hope so! That well was pretty deep. It's one thing for Illana to be killed (which I was hoping there would be more to her), but if Desmond died on the Island like that - I would be devastated!

To paraphrase: the reports of his death have been greatly exaggerated. (not so with Ilana, though...)

Not dead. If Smokey wanted him dead, he'd have knifed him. He wanted him in the well with the pocket of magnetism.

This is a man who can withstand massive amounts of EM and you think a little fall down a well will kill him? :confused:

Yeah, I don't think he's dead either. We didn't see him actually die, so most likely he is still alive.

I'm pretty sure all Anti-Locke did was get Desmond p'd off.

After that episode last week there is no way Desmond's story is over. He'll be like those kids in Texas or wherever who fall down wells and everyone will rush to save Baby Desmond in the well.

No way Des is dead brotha...It's going to be his destiny to save the island...

i imagine if you want more of illana that there is plenty down at the beach.

He's no more dead than Locke is in the alt.

There's a reason they didn't show his dead body last night. And I believe Widmore, the island's definitely not done with him yet.

totally don't think he's dead. in the same manner he survived the charlie driven car crash in the alt, and, how locke will survive his hit in the chair runover, i think desmond is alive and well. whether MIB follows the rules - he certainly can try - but I don't think he succeeded in de-desmonding the island

Previews are to be discussed in the Preview (http://forum.thefuselage.com/forumdisplay.php?f=196) section.

Err, that was no spoiler, I merely used the spoiler feature to his something that was actually already revealed (for dramatic effect). I not insider enough to know about any spoilers, at least to the best of my knowledge.... Sorry if I broke a rule by talking about something I saw on TV, on Lost no less...

EDIT: Thanks for the pointer Sam G. Will abide to that in the future.

SmMat not picking on you but it seems a good place to remind everyone.

Also, guys, NO SPOILER FONT - There are no spoiler discussions or information spoiler fonted outside the spoiler section. The new site rules state that anything spoiler fonted will be deleted. Just a heads up.

I thought everyone had to read that message that said that spoilers were no longer permitted, even in spoiler font.

Ho harm taken, Sam. Without order there would only be chaos ;)

The coming attractions at the end of the episode are considered spoilers?:rolleyes:

Absolutely. I don't watch them because they are not available in downloads (example: iTunes). I am unable to watch on real television because I live in another country.

Thanks for all of your support guys. I'm relieved that everybody thinks Desmond is alive - that gives me hope.

he might also need a replacement...

Yes, Previews have always been spoilers. Sorry, I had to shout a little, in small font several people still had a comment about the preview after my post.

I had a feeling UnLocke was gonna push him down the well...someone better hurry up and get him out!

When UnLocke asked him "Why aren't you afraid?" a whole Alternate scene played out in my head:

UnLocke: "Why aren't you afraid"
Desmond: "I ain't afraid of no ghosts!"
cue "Ghostbusters" theme music..Desmond takes out his handy Pocket Ghostbusters Ghost trap box, activates it and UnLocke gets sucked into it. Trap rattles around a bit and we hear Smokey's noises from inside the box. Desmond picks it up, smiles and walks off...end of show. Yay! Des saves the day.

I know, technically, UnLocke/Smokey/MIB is not a ghost...but I still think it would have been great.

The island's not through with him yet.

It's a shame that stunt of Flocke pushing him down the well was so horribly done.

It's one thing for Illana to be killed (which I was hoping there would be more to her),

Apparently, there's plenty of her on the beach now....

Not dead. If Smokey wanted him dead, he'd have knifed him. He wanted him in the well with the pocket of magnetism.

I hadn't thought of that. Both Widmore and Flocke want to exploit Des for his superabilities...

They didn't show a dead body so he isn't dead! Because that's how it works on lost. Unless you get blown to bits or actually shown dead then it isn't so.

I think it's pretty safe to assume Des is not dead. Nobody is dead on Lost until you see their corpse get buried or get an official "ugh, I'm dying" scene.
Plus it would be folly of the the writers to re-introduce Desmond's vast importance to the plot, only to kill him 2 episodes later before he can do anything. Of course, they've done stupid crap like that before.

We saw the freighter explode with Jin on it, after all. Now he's running around sparky as ever.

I don't think the island is done with him yet, which means he's still alive. I think MIB knew he couldn't kill him, and the well is a way to trap him.

I agree. I do not think he's dead.

Ditto 100 times over. It would be very silly to build Des up as one of the keys to the whole endgame and then Rosalind Shays him down an elevator shaft.

That said, my take is that the little boy reminded (by his presence) Lokey that he couldn't KILL Desmond, so Lokey dropped him into a well that would strand him and hide his EM signature so Widmore couldn't find his gamepiece.

PLEASE READ!


Going to say this one more time.

PREVIEWS ARE SPOILERS!

Any discussion should happen in the Preview threads.

Indeed Loserboy, the Island is not through with him yet. He CAN'T die. Nice try Flocke!

I've got to agree with almost everyone else; Des isn't dead. Locke fell down a well, (although not from the top, or head-first for that matter!), and only injured his leg. Des has survived a shooting and an exploding hatch, a little (big) fall won't kill him. Though I hope his clothes don't disappear like they did when the hatch exploded (not sure how it would work anyway!).

Did the OP really think Desmond died like that? It is not that they are gonna get rid of a character in such a stupid and abrupt way....By the way, has anybody seen Ilana?:biggrin:


But, no. Desmond is NOT dead.

By the way, has anybody seen Ilana?:biggrin:

Yes, she's here. And over there, too. And waaaaaay over there. :blowup:

Are you serious???
No way Desmond is dead.

HA!
clever you... :biggrin:

Locke fell down that well too if you remember...and he just broke his leg. Desmond is probably hurt, but they wouldnt just kill him off at this point in the story.

Major characters get sad music when they die. No chance he's dead.

Poor Illana. :frown: I keep hearing that old Patsy Cline song in my head when I think about her dying like that. I saw it coming when she walked away from everybody else after showing the dynamite was in her satchel but it still sucks.

Illana Sad Theme song Tribute:

I fall to pieces,
Each time I see you again.
I fall to pieces.
How can I be just your friend?

Of course not - I just wanted to generate a hot thread :D (Kidding, kidding ... )

In all seriousness, I was really tired and emotionally drained when I watched it. I saw no threads about it, so just to make sure, I decided to see what people would say.

I've got to agree with almost everyone else; Des isn't dead. Locke fell down a well, (although not from the top, or head-first for that matter!), and only injured his leg.Yup...and the well Locke fell down didn't have water in it to break his fall. This one, IIRC, did. Didn't we hear it when Smocke dropped the torch down it? So Des took a high-dive. No biggie, especially if the island isn't done with him yet.

Of course not - I just wanted to generate a hot thread :D (Kidding, kidding ... )That is SO what I thought! :lol2:

Sounsd very much like water to me.
