Last season, there were widespread rumors that Ian Somerhalder (Boone) had been complaining on the set of Lost. It was said that he had taken issue with the fact that he wasn’t getting enough screen time! Imagine! You’re on the #1 show on TV and complaining about your part! I predicted then, amongst much flack from my co-workers, that he was going to go. The writers were not making a secret that “someone” was going to go and why not chose the squeakiest wheel.

“There will definitely be death before the end of the year, and it won’t be a dream,” JJ Abrams says of Lost. “And it’s not going to be a new character that comes on and all of a sudden dies in that episode. We’re aware it’s not realistic to have all 14 make it, and this is a very hard thing to do for us, because when you know you’re going to do a story where someone’s gonna have to bite it, you don’t want to like any of the actors–because you don’t want to have to say goodbye to any of them. And this cast, they’re just like family. They’re amazing. They’re all wonderful.”

So, JJ says last season that they don’t want to *kill* any of the characters, or fire one of the actors, because they like them. Let’s consider this when we look into the crystal ball for season two. Hm *rubs hands over smoking ball* it’s becoming clear.

I see images of a girl on-set complaining about not just her lines, not just her screen time, but is just overall grouchy and unapproachable. She’s a newer character on the show and the fans don’t like her story anyway. I see an actress who reportedly tells the cast and crew every night before she leaves what she is going to have for *dinner* by saying, “Good night, everyone. I’m off to bleep some bleep!” (Use your imaginations, pervs, there are children reading this!)

Yes, it’s Michelle Rodriguez (Ana Lucia). The same actress who was arrested not too long ago for a DUI and still has to go back to court for that offense. The same actress that *forgot* to tell the producers that she had a few other traffic offenses prior to joining the cast - and not just for tickets, my friends! She has even, as I have read, taken some time off of the show for recovery (or rehab, as we non-Hollywood types would call it). You haven’t seen her in a few episodes, have you?

Read from The Awful Truth, 1-25-06, “‘Michelle is offending the cast and crew,” blabs my on-set insider. “With the goodbye thing, she also wags her tongue between her split fingers. It’s just, you know, gross’“ The article goes on to say, “‘I’m just gonna say that Michelle is not working out so well for any of them,” blabbed my source. “Why does she have to do that thing with her tongue and talk about her sex life all the time?’”

According to one of the writers for Lost (Matt Raggs), it will be shown before the end of the season why Ana was in Australia in the first place, this could wrap up her back-story enough for the viewers satisfaction (hello, Shannon!!??). I’ve also read that she will be somehow linked to Sayid this season. Wouldn’t it be poetic justice if he *accidentally* is the one that kills her? We don’t know that Sayid didn’t (oopsies) hang on to the gun that Danielle handed him two weeks ago, so he has the means.

“The producers are fed up with the fact that she barely shows up on the set and is always in a bad mood,” Us Weekly quoted an “insider” as saying.

“They said she was getting killed off as soon as they could write it in.”

So, let’s recap:

1. Rodriguez is a nightmare on the set.

2. Her character is not central enough to the story that she can’t be written out.

3. In “The Hunting Party ” Ana-Lucia was shown at the end of the episode petting Vincent, which if you remember the last person who looked after the dog was Shannon who is now deceased. (The dog is baaaaad news).

4. The fans do not like Ana. Most of them, OK? So don’t write angry notes to me that YOU like her.

5. Someone needs to die. OK, maybe no one needs to die, but you know as well as I do it makes good TV.

6. Maybe the Others are mad at her for killing Goodwin. I would think that this doesn’t put her on their “nice” list.

7. She killed the man that killed her baby (remember ole what’s his face?) so wouldn’t it be an eye-for-an-eye if Sayid in turn kills her? Especially if he was to find out that Shannon was preggers.

8. OR maybe since the fans are starting to assume she is the next to go, they are throwing us off and Jack will die. Hm.I say, Sayonara Senorita!
